Rodent Control

Each year in the winter, rodents invade an estimated 21 million homes in the U.S. And 35% of people living in western states mentioned having problems with rodents such as rats and mice in the past year.

Wild and domestic rodents have been reported to harbor and spread as many as 200 human pathogens.

A mouse produces between 40 to 100 droppings per day, while a rat produces between 20 to 50 droppings a day.

Pest Triva:

• Did you know mice can jump a foot high?
• Rats can squeeze through a space as small as a half dollar.

A Fact About Bees

Did you know that there is a special type of bee that can dig tunnels in wood to make its home?

The carpenter bee prefers wood that is at least two inches thick and relatively soft. Carpenter bee tunnels are perfectly round and usually have piles of wood dust underneath them.

Carpenter bees prefer bare wood, so painting and staining wood can sometimes deter them.

If you're concerned about bees in or around your home or place of business, give Dave a call at 1-800-400-6009.

"Green" Pest Management

Dave's Pest Control is concerned and conscientious about the types of chemical we use in pest management. One product we like is called Bora-Care, which is essential in Green Pest Management.

Bora-Care is a combination of the naturally found mineral borate and a patented mixture of glycol-based components that easily absorb into the porous fibers of wood and draw the borates with it.  And since borates don’t break down, the protection from termites and their ability to tube over wood and cement remains for the life of the wood.

Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, or DOT, is Bora-Care’s active ingredient. This patented product provides you with a low toxicity solution. And that means that Bora-Care can be used with confidence in and around homes, apartments, schools, hospitals, kennels, farm buildings, trailers, warehouses, non-food areas of supermarkets, restaurants and food processing plants.

If you're interested in a "green" pest control solution for your home or place of business, give Dave a call at 1-800-400-6009.

5 Pest Deterrent Tips

Over the next few weeks I will be sharing steps you can take to keep pests from invading your home. Of course, if pest control in your home or business is more than you can manage, give me a call. Dave's Pest Control will safely and quickly carry out a program designed for your specific concerns. Call Dave at 1-800-400-6009.

1. Lighting: lights lure bugs and insects, so porch and patio lights can be a perfect invitation for pests to enter your house. Have yellow exterior lighting rather than white.

2. Gutters: clean out gutters in the autumn to prevent wood rot, and to prevent insects nesting in the rotting leaves.

3. Keep your garden and the area around your house free of rubbish.

4. Don't leave spilled birdseed under feeders and bird tables – it could attract mice, rats, pigeons and squirrels.

5. Don't leave piles of wood, leaves, pipes and other detritus in the garden as it provides a perfect hiding place for rodents and other pests.
