Did you know that termites outweigh all humans on earth and cause over 5 billion dollars in property damage each and every year.  Termite damage is so common but yet it's rarely ever covered by homeowners insurance.  The damage termites do to homes, property is more common than damage done by storm, fire and earthquakes each year.  We have a saying in the pest control industry, it's not a matter of if but when. Termites are everywhere. They live in the ground foraging for structure, wood to build colonies. If you laid a piece of dead wood, a 2" x 4" board or any other wood out in the open, on the ground, it likely will get termites. They are part of Mother Natures recycle program. Only problem is they don't know the difference from a dead tree, a 2" x 4" board and your home.


I have personally seen homes destroyed by termites.  I've seen entire walls crumble to the ground by these insect pests.  The amount of damage subterranean termites can do is so substantial that having a inspection for termites should be done regularly as part of yearly home maintenance.  Oklahoma has a heavy amount of termite infestations every year and treatment is absolutely a necessity to protect your home. If your home has not been treated in the past 5-7 years for termites then you might consider having the property looked at.  Treatment for termites is not as expensive as one might think and it's far less than the repairs these pests typically do.

At EnviroTech Exterminating we offer Termidor for the treatment of termites. Termidor by BASF is one of the best products on the market for controlling termites. EnviroTech also offer's alternative choices such as Premise to help keep the costs of treatment to a minimum. Both of these products have shown tremendous results in controlling subterranean termites.

If you prefer a Baiting system EnviroTech Exterminating offers Advance Termite Bait System from BASF.  EnviroTech Exterminating offers treatment and control for many pests and services the local Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Coweta and Tulsa Oklahoma metro area.

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma Pest Control

EnviroTech Exterminating of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma has been hard at work preparing for this years big Termite Swam.  Termites are very sensitive to changes in the weather, light and the season changes.  They begin taking flight when the humidity and temperature becomes just right for them. In an amazing moment termites will come from their termite tubes to colonize new territory. This territory could be your home, business or perhaps a near bye neighbors residence.

The male and female termites will find suitable, moist, dark comfort of new ground to build a colony.  The male and female will start mating and re-colonize this new area. They queen will continue producing termites at an astonishing rate. The new born termites cannot feed themselves as their mouths are too soft and they are unable to digest wood at this early stage. They will instead be taken care of by other worker termites in the colony till they have matured to a stage where they can become workers, solders or perhaps winged termites to start the process all over again. This is part of everyday life as a termite and it has been going on for millions of years.

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

Bed Bug Fecal Remains, Eggs, Cast Skins

Because bed bugs are so adept at hiding, you may not see the bugs. However, a bed bug infestation may be recognized by blood stains from crushed bed bugs bugs or by rusty (sometimes dark) fecal staining, spots of excrement, on sheets and mattresses, bed clothes, walls, and furniture. Fecal staining, bed bug eggs, and cast skins may be found in the vicinity of their harborage locations.  Use of a flashlight helps in visual detection in hidden cracks and crevices. If you are experiencing a possible bed bug infestation contact a professional pest control company to have a bedbug inspection performed. Treatment is a must for bedbugs and gaining control of these pests can take 3-4 treatments depending on many factors. It's also a pest that the homeowner must partake in an plan of action if they are to control and keep re-infestation from occurring.

A Little About Bed Bugs & Treatment: Broken Arrow, Ok Pest Control

EnviroTech Exterminating
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
Got Pests? Call (918) 282-7621
Online: www.GotPest.com

The United States had almost eradicated the bedbug problem, but according to a recent study by the University of Nebraska, bedbug infestation became significant again during 2001. These disgusting little creatures feed on human blood, are notoriously prolific and difficult to eradicate.

Historical Background

Bedbugs have been with us for centuries. They were a common part of the American landscape until the development of the pesticide DDT. The chemical was successfully used as a means of malaria control during World War II. Recognized as a potent weapon against unwanted insect pests, its popularity spread rapidly after the war. One of the results was the near eradication of bed bugs. Unfortunately, DDT is harmful to birds and was banned in 1972. Bedbugs had been given a new lease on life and again begun to proliferate. Incidents of bedbug infestation have been particularly pronounced since 2001. Bedbug resurgence is also attributed to the sharp increase in travel by the American public.

What are Bedbugs?

Bedbugs are small insects, and adults are only about 1/4 inch long. They are not particularly active during the daylight; they spend their nights reproducing and gorging on human blood. It takes 15 minutes for one of them to swell three times its size following a routine feeding. Bedbugs are reddish brown and, when not feeding, have flat bodies. An adult female can lay up to five eggs each day, and it takes 10 days for eggs to mature. Bedbugs do not spread disease; however, some people are allergic to the itchy rash resulting from the bites. An attack by bed bugs can also have considerable psychological effects.

How They Invade Homes

The presence of bedbugs has nothing to do with poor sanitation practices. While general untidiness provides them with more hiding places, bedbugs can invade even the most pristine dwellings. They are most commonly introduced by transporting them in on travel luggage or used furniture, especially mattresses and upholstered items. Once inside the residence, they can hide nearly anywhere a little fold or crack appears.

Determining Their Presence

Checking For Bed Bugs

Bedbugs are most often felt before they are seen. One means of distinguishing bedbug bites from other insects is that they usually appear as a line or cluster of small red spots, darker in the center. They will also itch because of the anticoagulant that the bugs emit. If you suspect the presence of bedbugs, check your mattress seams for signs of excrement. This will appear as lines of dark specks. Bedbugs shed their outer shells five times on their way to adulthood, so these light brown casings may also be visible. You should examine your sheets for blood smears. This would occur from killing an engorged bug while scratching or rolling over during the night.

Eliminate Them

Most efforts that people make to rid bedbugs are usually ineffective because of the rapid reproduction rate and varied hiding places of bedbugs. Even a professional exterminator requires several hours and multiple visits to complete the job. However, there are steps you can take to expedite the process and prevent a new infestation.

• Vacuum all reachable cracks. Pay particular attention to mattresses and upholstered furniture. Don't neglect openings in the baseboard and behind wall outlets. When completed, remove the vacuum cleaner bag from the premises.

• Wash all clothing, towels and bedding items in hot water. Bedbugs cannot survive high temperatures.

• Place non-washables in a dryer and run at a high level of heat for a half-hour.

• Set infested furniture outdoors for several hours in below freezing weather as an additional way to kill the bugs.

• A zippered allergy mattress cover of good quality kills any bugs and eggs remaining in the mattress after vacuuming.

Effects of Ozone on the Common Bed Bug (Cimex lectularius)

Ozone & Bed Bugs

EnviroTech Exterminating Inc. strives to stay abreast on all research pertaining to bed bugs, especially in light of the recent outbreak of bed bug cases throughout Tulsa, Oklahoma within the past few years.  The following study of the effects of ozone on bed bugs was conducted by Purdue University.
The feasibility of using gaseous ozone to manage insect pests has received increased attention in recent years. Research in this area has focused primarily on stored product pests (Kells et al. 2001, Sousa et al. 2008, McDonough et al. 2011). Given the resurgence of bed bugs in the U.S. and other countries over the last decade, the question of whether ozone could be used in bed bug integrated pest management programs has been raised. Research designed to address this question is currently underway in our laboratory. Data presented here show that adult male bed bugs are susceptible to ozone, depending on the concentration of ozone used and the length of time that insects are exposed. Two devices capable of delivering ozone to laboratory fumigation chambers were used for this study; one delivered a high ozone concentration with short exposure times, and a second utilized a low ozone concentration with long exposure times. The overall goals of this research are to 1) determine the time and ozone concentration needed to reach 100% mortality in all bed bug life stages, and 2) learn more about the mode of action of ozone in insects and strategies insects might use to survive ozone exposure.
You can read the report by Purdue University here including the materials and methods used, the results and the conclusions of the study here.
