How to Protect Your Home from Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs must have a blood meal before each stage of growth. Their bites only trigger a reaction in about half of the human population, and those that do react, can react differently. Some get bumps, some get rashes, for some it may be days after the bite before they even show a mark.
5 Common DIY Pest Control Mistakes
Do-it-yourself pest control can come with a number of pitfalls, though, and we want you to be as safe as possible; mistakes can create an unsafe environment, fail to resolve the pest issue, waste money, or even cause injury.
An Introduction to Carpenter Ants
Of all the pests we deal with Carpenter Ants are the most interesting, at least according to me. For one thing, they are large enough to visually follow along their trails. If you see a trail during the daylight hours, come back at night with a flashlight and you will see ten times as many!
Spring has sprung, the ants are on the run!
We see it regularly, a person posts on social media about the “Ants” they are dealing with and then everybody chimes in with their various home remedies, without ever asking what kind of ants this person has. Carpenter Ant control strategies are typically very different from Odorous House Ant control strategies.
Beware of Aggressive Door-to-Door Pest Control Salespeople
There seem to be more and more companies popping up each year, hiring temporary unlicensed people to go door-to-door selling pest control services. These temporary workers are typically not trained in proper identification of insects, and they are often brought in from out of state for the summer months.

Now providing Bed Bug Inspections and Control Services
Bed Bug reports have been on the rise for the past 15 to 20 years. In most cases, Bed Bug infestations go several weeks or longer before they are discovered. By the time they are found, they have already had plenty of time to spread into multiple rooms. And as new infestations are starting to take root, they can sometimes go unseen during a professional inspection.
G.I.V.E.S. Fundraiser Results
Together with the help of our clients, friends, and families, we were able to raise over $3000 toward local charities! After it was all said and done we raised $1689 through our incredibly generous client base, and after being matched by Rambo Total Pest Control we were able to have a strong impact for many local families this season! We are grateful to have such a supportive community to serve!
Kids at work, New techs, We’re Hiring!
Spring is in full swing and the pests and rodents are out and keeping us busy protecting you and your neighbors. We even brought in some young recruits to help out…well, at least for a day. But seriously, we have been expanding our staff to accommodate growth and better manage scheduling strategies.
The Ants Are Coming!
Outdoors, ants are just fine, if you ever have an hour to spend on a warm summer evening we would highly recommend finding an ant trail outside and following it around (bring a flashlight). You will be amazed at what they can teach you! Our job is to prevent them from establishing a colony in your home or business.
We’ve made changes to help you!
Our goal with this change is to free up significantly more time for receiving inbound calls and simplify the way we do business with our clients. The new business management system is called PestRoutes, and is built to handle all the scheduling, routing, billing, inventory, and call ahead notification aspects of our pest control business.
Be Cautious of Door-to-Door Salespeople
During the Spring and Summer there are numerous pest control companies which hire seasonal salespeople to go door-to-door selling pest control. These people are usually not licensed for our line of work, but they are well trained on a number of high pressure, fear-based sales tactics.
