Ants are social insects. They like hanging out in our kitchens and at picnics and outdoor parties. Yet, these uninvited and unwanted guests are not simply unsightly - they can also be dangerous contaminates to food.
Considering that you likely eat multiple meals a day in your home, the presence of ants and the potential for food contamination from their presence is an issue that must be addressed when considering your health and the health of your family.
If you're concerned that you have ants in your home or place of business, give Dave a call at 1-800-400-6009.

Cockroaches and Your Health
Cockroaches live in a wide range of environments around the world. Pest species adapt readily to a variety of environments, but prefer warm conditions found within buildings. Cockroaches are among the hardiest insects. Some species are capable of
remaining active for a month without food and are able to survive on
limited resources.
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) reports that one-in-five children in the United States have severe sensitivities to cockroach allergens, which increase the severity of asthma symptoms. These allergens are most commonly introduced in homes through cockroach saliva, droppings and the decomposing bodies of these pests.
Cockroaches can also carry bacteria such as E coli and salmonella on their bodies, which can contaminate food, cooking equipment and food surfaces.
If you're concerned that you have cockroaches in your home or place of business, give Dave a call at 1-800-400-6009.

NPMA Lauds EPA’s Actions on Rodenticide Use
The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) released an news article on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) limitations on certain rodenticides and requirements for tamper-resistant bait stations by announcing its intent to cancel the registration of certain do-it-yourself rodent control products. The affected products are sold to consumers as loose baits and don’t have protective bait stations that prevent access by children and pets.
In the works for more than a decade, the cancellation has been under extensive study and review to ensure a final action in the best interest of American public health. In short, the mandate will remove products from the market that pose unacceptable risks to children, pets and wildlife. This important decision underscores the need for professionalism in treatment and allows the pest management industry to retain the means for providing effective, affordable services that protect consumers from rodent-borne dangers.
Since 1998, NPMA has worked with the EPA as rodenticide products have undergone considerable reevaluation to ensure all registered products meet today’s health and safety standards. This working relationship has proven beneficial, as it not only focuses upon protecting public health but also promoting the highest level of professionalism within the pest management industry.

Plan Now For Springtime Pest Control
Do you have a protection plan against the threat of nasty home invaders like termites, carpenter ants, and rodents?

Most homeowners policies do not cover termite and carpenter ant damage. Dave's Pest Control can help.
