Sure he looks cute with that little bowtie but don’t let this fancy rodent fool you. Mice are dirty creatures. They are constantly defecating and urinating where ever they go. The surfaces in which they are scurrying across, climbing on and living in are covered in microscopic germs. Among the diseases carried within and on these varmints is Salmonella, Leptospira, Typhoid, RickettsialPox, Hantavirus and more. Keeping mice out of your home or places of work is a must for a clean and safe environment. Every situation is unique but control methods that work well include exclusion, sanitation, poison baits and physical traps. Mouse control is best left to the professionals for proper and quick control of an infestation. Fecal clean up services can also be performed which I highly recommend paying skilled workers to do the job. These aforementioned pathogens become especially dangerous when stirred up during the cleaning process. Call today to learn more about how we can protect you from Mr. Mouse (and friends).

Honey Bees love Linden
While there are many varieties of Linden, one thing you can count on is honey bees coming to enjoy their flowers.
Linden trees have been planted for centuries to attract honey bees for cultivating. With blooms in the late summer this makes for a perfect end to a beautiful season!
It’s Peak Cockroach Season
Summer is when roaches peak in numbers. The weather is ideal for them to breed and go thru their cycle fast. If a roach population isn’t drastically crashed with the first 30 days then chances are they will repopulated and hang around another 30 days. This is the time frame we use to get a roach population under control. We have about a month to get the problem almost-gone, otherwise the clock resets and we need to start all over again.
Roaches can cause health problems such as asthmatic issues. Their bodies can break down into tiny pieces causing them to become airborne, which you breathe in. Roaches live in the most unsanitary of places. They can survive so well, this makes the dirty…they walk around counter tops, over food and are constantly spreading bacteria where ever they go.
Roach infestations take a multi-faceted approach to solve. Depending on the situation we may use a combination of products to get the population under control fast. Something you can before and after a service is vacuum. Vacuuming and removing roaches is an excellent way to reduce their numbers and slow the progression of the infestation.
Don’t go at it alone. Give us a call to help you rid your home or place of business of roaches.
