An old woodpecker hole has made the perfect opportunity for wasps to make a nest. These wasps are not too happy that I was there to evict them! It may not be the 1st of the month but rent is due and you are out of here! Bye bye wasps.

Ever see an all-white cockroach before?
The intriguing reason behind why cockroaches turn white during molting. When roaches shed their exoskeleton, they lose pigmentation, which is gradually restored through a fascinating chemical process, influencing their color and possibly even their biological clocks.

Rats in secret tunnel underground
Rats are living in this tunnel underneath the streets of a major city. We had to create a door that would keep rats from coming out of the tunnels and into the establishment. This is why I love pest control…because of the things you get to see that most will never have the opportunity to observe. These service tunnels keep sewers, steam pipes, electrical and I bet a whole lot of secrets. We don’t build them this intricate anymore!
HB 5217 hurts everyone and protects nothing
A couple weeks ago we provided written and oral testimony for HB 5217, a bill that would restrict the purchase of second generation rodenticides in Connecticut.
Roach Repeller…LOL
Sonic devices, which claim to repel pests like roaches through emitting high-frequency sound waves, have faced skepticism and limited success in practical application. While the theory behind these devices suggests that ultrasonic frequencies disturb pests and drive them away, several factors contribute to their inefficacy. Firstly, the effectiveness of such devices is hindered by the ability of pests, particularly roaches, to adapt to changes in their environment. Roaches may quickly become immune to the constant sonic stimuli, rendering the devices ineffective over time. Additionally, the limited range and penetration of the sound waves may not reach all areas where roaches hide, allowing them to remain unaffected. Scientific studies on the efficacy of these devices have yielded inconsistent results, further casting doubt on their reliability. Ultimately, a multifaceted approach involving proper sanitation, sealing entry points, and targeted pest control measures is generally more successful in managing roach infestations than relying solely on sonic devices.
Rats In Your Trash
Rats infiltrating trash cans can pose a significant threat to both public health and the overall well-being of communities. These resilient rodents are known for their ability to squeeze through small openings and gnaw through various materials to gain access to food sources, often targeting improperly secured trash bins. Once inside, rats can contaminate the surrounding environment with their droppings and urine, spreading diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and Hantavirus.
The importance of effective pest control measures becomes evident in preventing the proliferation of rat populations. Communities must prioritize proper waste management and invest in durable, rodent-resistant trash containers to mitigate the risk of infestation. Additionally, regular inspections and prompt removal of potential nesting sites, such as piles of debris or overgrown vegetation, contribute to a proactive approach in curbing rat-related problems. Public awareness campaigns and education on the significance of responsible waste disposal also play a crucial role in fostering a collective effort to keep urban environments free from these disease-carrying pests. By addressing the issue of rats infiltrating trash cans, communities can safeguard public health and create a cleaner, safer living environment for residents.
