We're in the process of performing our first quarterly application of our "Peace of Mind" Pest control program. During this application we will be targeting pest both indoors and outdoors. The indoor treatment will be a spot crack & crevise treatment and the outdoor will be a full perimeter treatment. Subsequent applications will be performed on the outside only, unless otherwise requested by the homeowner.
After all the rain these last few months I am beginning to feel like I have opened up a mosquito hotel in my backyard! Not only does the pond have "No Vacancy" they are starting to camp out in pooling water and splitting the rent with the sparrows at the birdbath. In order to prevent the population from increasing further I have turned to Bt pellets (Bacillus thuringiensis), a non-toxic control that is safe for pets & wildlife. I also learned through my research that running water scares them off, so I have upgraded the pond to contain a waterfall. 2 bonuses in one!
We're starting to see a lot of pavement ants starting to move up foundations and try to get into homes. Please call us if you seem to have the start of an infestation at your house. Also, ask us about our Carpenter ant and termite control programs.
Will the frigid winter we're having reduce bug populations this season?? You would think this would be the case, but actually the snow cover we've had most of the winter should cause the opposite to occur.
Even with sub-zero temperatures, soil temperatures in January averaged 32.9 degrees without the snow cover. Therefore, snow covered soil would be even warmer than that. A test was done in January during a -4 degree day and the soil temps were still holding at 29 degrees a couple inches below the surface, a 34 degree differance. In most cases, insects are going to be deeper than 2 inches... So for those of you hoping for a bug free summer, you may not want to count on it!

Our Pest Management teams are experts on locating pest populations where they live and keeping them out of your home. We practice “Safe Spraying” techniques to ensure chemical is applied only in the areas where it is effective and safe. Our quarterly treatment schedule consists of four outdoor perimeter treatments, & one Indoor Treatment. We kill the bugs on the outside before they enter your home. This eliminates the need for indoor treatments which can cause inconvenience and hassle for you, the homeowner. However, we do perform one indoor treatment per year that includes a “Safe Home” Inspection.
