Fall Pests Cause Pest Control Problems

Fall is here and the pests will cause pest control problems

With fall and cooler weather all sorts of pests from rodents to spiders are looking to find a warm, cozy home to shack up in. This can be a residential home or a commercial business. These pests do not care which one as long as they have their needs met. After all, nobody wants to be out in the cold when they could easily find an entry point to get in.

So, what do you need to do in fall to prepare for these pests? In Oklahoma we have weather that can change from one minute to the next so it could be 60 degree's today and 30 degree's tomorrow. This makes the homes look like paradise to a mouse or spider. Typically a home or business can have dozens of easy access points for these types of pests to enter. You have weep holes, soffit, garage doors without good seals, rotted trim, rotted garage framing and cracks and gaps in siding, brick and other types of holes, access points all around the home. We recommend dealing with these security problems so spiders and rodents don't take advantage of you.

As the weather gets colder, more and more of these pests will enter. You need a plan in place to minimize their ability to stay. After all, rodents leave feces and urine just about everywhere they go. Mice are known carriers/vectors of disease.

Tips To Reduce Pests For Oklahoma Business Owners, Pest Control

Oklahoma Business Owners: 10 Tips To Reduce Pests

Protect your Tulsa area business from the threat of pest infestations with these Pest Control Tips.

As a business owner, you are probably well aware of the importance of maintaining a safe working environment. One thing that can hurt your image and reputation are insects, rodents and nuisance wildlife. A filthy workplace increases the risk for injury as well as illness and disease. Pests such as cockroaches, spiders, ants, silverfish, termites and nuisance wildlife can cost you if not dealt with in timely fashion. This controllable problem can become a serious problem. So, to help avoid any of the above situations, here are 10 tips to Reduce Pests.

1)         The first thing any business should do is sign up for regular scheduled pest control services to protect your business year round. In addition to your own pest prevention measures, having regular commercial pest control services is essential to avoiding the threats that pests bring.

2)         Inspect the exterior of the facility and fill in or close off any cracks, holes, or other openings. You want to provide as few entry points as possible to minimize pest problems.

3)         Make sure all doors or entry areas are protected with screens or other barriers. Facilities with loading docks may want to consider flaps or other large screens that will help keep pests from getting inside.

4)         Take the trash outside at the end of every day because trash is the starting point for most pest problems. Pests such as rodents, cockroaches and flies thrive in conditions where trash is not properly dealt with.

5)         Be sure that dumpsters are located away from the exterior of the facility since they tend to attract flies and many other critters. A good rule of pest control is to keep the dumpsters as far away as possible. All dumpsters or other trash receptacles need to be closed off with lids. Also, do not allow cardboard boxes, crates or other trash to accumulate outside the dumpster.

6)         All food surfaces should be sanitized before and after each use to prevent the spread of bacteria and disease from pests like flies.

7)         Any open food should be sealed in airtight containers so that pests cannot gain access.

8)         Always take cardboard outside instead of letting it pile up in the facility. This only creates conditions in which roaches and flies can multiply. Clutter should always be kept to a minimum, even eliminated altogether so that pests do not have the opportunity to hide and multiply.

9)         Heavy landscaping and water features can attract pest such as spiders, cockroaches, ants, birds, nuisance wildlife animals that could easily become an ongoing problem.

10)       Implement employee training so that staff can recognize the signs of pests as well as knowing exactly how to report a pest problem with discretion.

Spider Control Broken Arrow

Spider Control Broken Arrow

Did you know that July and August are the worst months of the year for Black Widow Spider Infestations in Oklahoma! Broken Arrow and the surrounding Tulsa metro have plenty of Black Widow Spiders along with other Spiders. It's enough to make you think twice before ever moving a box in your garage.

Spiders can be good to have around as they eat pests but Black Widow Spiders can be a nightmare. Not only is it a cannibal but it is typically the most feared spider in the United States. It's bite can send you into shock and requires immediate medical attention. This is not the Spider to toy with.

 Female Black Widow Spiders are known to eat their mates after breeding. They are the spider feared the most by people. Controlling them is typically hard to do with over the counter, store bought products. The Spider is different from other pests in that it typically doesn't drag the abdomen making pesticides almost non effective. You really need a product Microencapsulated that has a longer residual than the typical 30 day pesticide.

So, what does this mean for you the consumer? Well, it means not all products are effective and will provide the results you expect. EnviroTech Exterminating has had numerous satisfied customers that tried other pest control companies with little to no success when it comes to Arachnids like Black Widows and Scorpions.

Pest Control and Pests in General

Broken Arrow Pest Control and Pests in General

When you think of the word pests, do you usually envision insects? These little critters are often the worthy recipients of the term, but pests can come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny termites to rascally raccoons, and even full grown telemarketers! Pests can be difficult to get rid of, but definitely not impossible. There are people solely dedicated to their eradication. You might call them vengeful, vermin vigilantes, but they could be your best friends! 

Pests can pose risks to the health of your family, cause physical damage to your home, destroy or spoil food, damage clothing or other fabrics, or just be a nuisance.

Most pests are specific to certain seasons, but of course, this varies, depending on where on the continent you live. 

Here is just a sampling.

Winter pests may include rodents that have found a warm place to nest for the winter in your home. They can cause serious damage and even require costly roof repairs. Besides chewing wires and shredding clothing and paper for nesting material, they leave a terrible mess and odour. In warmer climates, cockroaches find homes inviting.

Spring brings out the wasps and bees. Although we are all familiar with the beneficial role they play in pollination, they can administer a nasty sting, especially dangerous to those with allergic reactions to them. Lady bugs (such an innocent name!) can be pesky when found in the house.

Summer and fall bring out the fruit flies, which, in spite of scientific knowledge to the contrary, seem to be birthed by exposed fruit. Dirty, disease carrying flies, wood chewing termites, and any number of other insects round out the small pest varieties. Larger examples include garbage can loving racoons and skunks. If you have ever tried to trap and relocate these critters, you will appreciate those who dedicate their lives to controlling these specimens!

Fall brings out the huge mature spiders with their webs, visible only when the dew settles on them (quite beautiful for the photographer), or when unsuspecting you walks through one (quite funny for the videographer). The harvest in Canadian fields chases the mice indoors, which, upon discovery, become wonderful fodder for YouTube. More recently, lady bug lookalikes with many names (asian beetles, Japanese beetles, harlequin ladybirds) have infested homes in falls months as their population preps for winter.

Telemarketers cross all season boundaries; most people develop their own methods of disposing of them. If all else fails, and you can’t beat them, join them; it’s a decent living!

You don’t have to live with pesky invaders. Let the experts advise you or eliminate them for you.
