One of the reasons ultrasonic rodent repellents are so effective is that the loudest spike in sound that they emit replicates the scream of a dominant male rodent. Since rodents are very territorial, this will discourage other rats from inhabiting a territory.
Beyond inflamed bites on the skin, there are other signs you may have bedbugs: These pests leave small reddish dots on bedding and shed exoskeletons that may look like dead, desiccated bugs. Look for them near beds, couches and anywhere else you sleep or nap.
Keeping your yard clean can help prevent pests from invading it. Remove piles of wood from around your home, get rid of diseased plants and fallen fruit, and rake up fallen leaves.
Honey bees, unlike carpenter bees, do not chew or eat wood and their colonies generally do not cause structural damage to a home as long as the colony is alive. If the bees die, the left over honey and wax combs can lead to interior damage.
I saw a tiny, whitish insect that resembled some type of bug in my home. What was it? That could have been a roach nymph. Roaches are white when first born and turn brown a short time later. The nymph sheds several times before becoming an adult roach.
Simply knocking a beehive down will not get the bees to stay away. You not only need to kill the bees and remove the beehive; you need to dispose of the hive by either sealing it and sending it to a disposal or by completely destroying it as well.
If you aren't protecting your home from bed bugs that may be something you want to do quickly. Bed bugs are wingless bugs that get all the nutrition they need from your or your pets' blood.
Termites live in and around homes because they provide sources of moisture and wood, which subterranean termites need to thrive. The termite actually ingests the cellulose and is capable of turning that material into a source of nutrition.
One way to deal with unwanted ants is to trace their column back to their point of entry. Set any of the following items at the entry area in a small line, which ants will not cross: cayenne pepper, lemon juice, cinnamon or coffee grounds.
Unlike mice, the territory of a rat will cover a larger area, perhaps a radius from 100 to 200 feet from its nest. This expands its food range, and can make it difficult to pinpoint and control its food and water supply.
Did you know that adult bed bugs can live for as long as 18 months? From hatching to maturity, these bugs molt several times, requiring a blood meal every time they go through the process.
When it comes to your family s health and safety, it s natural to err on the side of caution. Whether you ve got aggressive yellow jackets or social hornets nesting on your property, we re always available to help you deal with them.
Although organic pest control products contain only natural ingredients, they may still not be appropriate for use around waterways. If you re not sure about the safety of any of our pesticides, please let us answer any questions you have.
One of the reasons roaches are able to get into our homes and hide so well is the fact they are thigmotropic, according to scientists. This means they like being squeezed in tight places. The German roach, most common in the United States, can squeeze through a dime-sized crack.
There are several instances in which bee extermination is going to be recommended. These include if the bees are displaying aggressive behavior, if there are risks related to allergies, and if the structure in which they have built their hive is not fully accessible.
The main problem with the pest control products you can buy in stores is that they tend to require multiple treatments (and multiple purchases) before you notice a reduction in the number of pests infesting your home. Not only is bringing in a professional faster, but it could help you save money by not having to constantly by more product.
Prevention is the best way to control stinging insects and to keep your property from infestation. We can initiate a program to stop a problem before it develops; once stinging insects take hold, more work and treatments are needed to eliminate the nests and to keep them from coming back.
Before you move into a new-to-you house or apartment, it s smart to arrange for a professional inspection and pest control treatment. The space may look clean and spotless, but most pests lurk in out-of-the-way places that homeowners and renters rarely examine.
Here's a happy thought for the next time you get stung by a bee: Bees sting only once and then die because of the structure of the stinger. It is jagged and barbed and becomes lodged in the skin. Because of this, the bee cannot pull it out, which means the bee cannot use it again.
If you live near wooded areas, you may face a problem with carpenter ants. They get their name because they chew through wood to nest; however, they also like dining on sweets and pet food. Instead of having your home singled out as a preferred dining establishment for these pests, let us get rid of them for you.
Bushes, shrubs, and trees are social spots for bees and often this is where you can find them before they begin building their nest. In fact, continual congregating of bees is a good indication that they are planning to build a nest nearby.
If you have infants or young children, it is extremely important to take steps to keep your home cockroach free and to have them exterminated if you have them. Studies have shown that cockroaches trigger childhood asthma.
If the property you manage houses businesses with a large inventory of electronic equipment, controlling ants is a question of economics: they can invade these systems and damage them beyond repair, making for some irate tenants.
Fleas are no match for lemons. Cutting a lemon in half, scoring the rind, and pouring boiling water over it, can deter fleas. Also, adding a little garlic to your dog s food and a bit of apple cider to your cat s can make the meals less desirable to fleas.
Bee sting prevention tips from the Mayo Clinic: Take care when drinking sweet beverages outside. Wide, open cups may be your best option because you can see if a bee is in them. Inspect cans and straws before drinking from them.
To keep pests away from your home, pay attention to where you are planting foliage. You should keep vegetation, shrubs and mulch at least 18 inches away from your home.
Honey bees can choose all kinds of areas around your home for their hive site. They will generally look for easily defensible cavities inside walls of houses, in or around chimneys, near water meters or utility boxes, and under decks.
