Roach Infestations: Roaches are Disgusting!

There is no denying that cockroaches are repugnant, but when they are in your home, they become more than just a household pest. Cockroaches carry disease and are associated with allergies. Their droppings and skin contaminate the surface, which may result in allergies or far worse, life-threatening conditions such as Salmonellosis, Gastroenteritis, and Cholera

Port St Lucie homeowners know all too well that a roach infestation is a constant concern, but why is there is a need for professional pest control in your home.

Florida weather is the perfect breeding ground for these pests, but believe it or not, they come into your home to enjoy the cooler temps. Roaches thrive in 70F and love dark, damp spots where they can nest and remain safe from predators. Roaches prefer moisture, food, and filth. Most of these are common to a typical Port St Lucie residence.

Seeking the Source of Pest Enticements 

 Now that you know what these pests are after, the question is how do you tackle a roach infestation, or even better stop it in its tracks? The answer, my friends, is in year-round pest control. Look for and know the signs. Roaches leave clues: droppings, body parts, and corpses. To eliminate pest infestation, you either need to be vigilant or retain a professional pest control service to implement prevention strategies and reduce the issues.

Keep your home CLEAN! No filth means less chance of these pests invading in the first place. Eradicate any open water source. Think leaky faucet or pipes and use a dehumidifier to help keep the air dry. Instill these suggestions and you are well on your way to eliminating, or at the very least controlling your cockroach situation.

Ants:

You have to admire the tenacity and work ethic of ants, but it is much more enjoyable to watch them outside, far away from your property, and not in your home. Port St Lucie is home to a wide variety of ants, but at the end of the day, they all have the same goal. Find a food source-the sweeter the better-and cart it off to the queen. We all know what these little pests are after, but fall short on how to stop them from becoming a permanent fixture in your residence in the first place. Here are a few suggestions from the pest control experts that you can implement today:

KEEP YOUR HOUSE CLEAN:

Take the time to wipe up spills, crumbs, and store enticing edibles in air-tight containers. If there is no food source, there is no reason for the ants to come inside.

LOCATE THE NEST:

Ants typically construct their domains behind walls, in cabinets, and behind appliances. Essentially hiding wherever they feel they will not be discovered

SET TRAPS/BAIT:

There are several DIY traps available, and you may have to try several before you find one that addresses your ant population. Set traps where you see ants most often and monitor them. If the traps aren’t working, either move them or seek another brand. Recognize that this option is typically a quick and temporary fix, but if left unattended, ant colonies have the potential to cause structural damage to your home. Ants multiply, and they multiply fast, so the best remedy is year-round pest control and management.

If your situation has gotten out of hand, or you would prefer to enlist the skills of a professional pest control specialist, contact us today. We locate and eradicate the nest-and take the necessary measures to ensure that ants do not return to your Port St Lucie home.

Bees:

You are enjoying a BBQ with family and friends on your Port St Lucie patio. 
What could be better? 
The sun in your face, the breeze in your hair-ah no-what’s in your hair? 
Not the breeze, it’s a bee!

Bees are a vital component of our ecosystem and need to be allowed space to live but what do you do if EVERY time you step outside, you are dive-bombed by these guys? Bees work fast and have innate survival skills. They can build their hive overnight, reproducing and building a large colony seemingly overnight. 

When a bees nest becomes overpopulated, bees access the next best place to set up shop. Typically bees nest under gutters, decks, or even under the very lawn chair where you prefer to sit If you are looking to attempt a bee takedown on your own, here are a couple of things to consider:

• what type of bees are plaguing you?

• Do you intend to kill them or extract the nest? 

• What products do you want to use?

You are going to make the bees very, very mad, so dress in protective clothing and keep animals and children well out of the way.  You can choose to knock down the nest during the day when the majority of the bees have left the hive, or go at it at night when they are all asleep. Either way, bee removal is dangerous-there is a risk that you will get stung more than once. If you are dealing with honey bees-PLEASE, do not kill the bees! There is a humane way to address your honeybee situation, and your best course of action is to allow a team of professional pest control experts to handle it by locating the nest for you.
