Spring Is Just Around the Corner...

Spring Is Just Around the Corner...

And so are those springtime pests! The warmer days means an increase in activity. Now is a good time to call Dave Cat 1-800-400-6009 and schedule a springtime pest protection plan.

Termites: Although termites are active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, they are most evident during the spring swarm. This is when the winged reproductives (Alates) emerge in large numbers to reproduce and start new colonies. These silent destroyers, cause more damage and destruction to our homes and property each year than do all of the fires and storms combined annually.

Pests: This is the time of year when all of your "over-wintering" pests emerge from their hiding places to reproduce. Carpenter ants start swarming (another wood destroying insect). Also, the fire ants, wasps, pill bugs, millipedes, earwigs, mites, spiders, scorpions, silverfish, roaches, etc. become more active and populations significantly increase.

Rodent Infestation

A female house mouse can give birth to up to a dozen babies every three weeks.
Imagine having as many as 150 babies a year!

Mice and other rodents can enter a building through almost any opening or crack. It is important to inspect for rodent droppings, especially in undisturbed areas such as pantries, under baseboards and along walls.

Rodent droppings most often cause allergic reactions in human beings but can also cause disease, including the potentially deadly Hantavirus. More frequently, though, rodents serve as vectors, carrying bacteria, such as salmonella, on their bodies and contaminating food sources, kitchen surfaces and equipment.

Dave's Pest Control can offer the expertise and knowledge of rodent biology to best protect your health and rid your home of a rodent infestation.

If you're concerned that you have mice or other rodents in your home or place of business, give Dave a call at 1-800-400-6009.

More Pest Trivia

Mosquitoes are least likely to be treated by a professional. Yet, with the increased prevalence of West Nile Virus in the summer months, mosquitoes continue to be, not only a summer nuisance pest but also, a major health threat.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), West Nile Virus infections have appeared across the United States in recent years, which makes avoiding mosquito nesting/breeding sites and eliminating standing water in or around the home even more important to the protection of public health. In addition, to the potential for West Nile Virus, mosquitoes can also cause itchy, unsightly marks as well as severe allergic reactions in human beings.

Dave's Pest Control can treat your home or place of business and substantially reduce mosquito presence. We use state-of-the-art low toxicity chemicals that are much less harmful to people, pets, and their environments than what is currently offered by the majority of the pest control market.

So give Dave a call at 1-800-400-6009.
