Don’t Let Mosquitoes Ruin Your Outdoor Fun

It’s safe to say that no insect is quite as annoying as the mosquito. Though these pesky pests are most active at dawn and dusk, they will still bite you all day long. If you’re planning a party or just enjoy lounging in your yard, a high population of mosquitoes will make your time outside unpleasant.

Description

You can likely identify a mosquito. They are a slender, small insect with a pinched waist and dangling legs. Their mouthpart enables them to feed on blood and nectar. Unlike male mosquitoes, females need a blood meal to lay their eggs. Males do not feed off animals.

Problem

Mosquitoes are dangerous pests. They are actually known as the most dangerous animal on the planet. Beyond their obnoxious bites, they carry a host of diseases including West Nile virus, yellow fever, dengue fever, and malaria.

Solution

Though you will not be able to eliminate every mosquito from your property, there are some precautions you can take to greatly reduce their population. Mainly, mosquitoes breed in standing water and are not picky about where they lay their eggs. They are happy to choose a still pond or a puddle left in the bottom of a wheelbarrow. Therefore, its important to reduce areas of standing water whenever possible. Check your gutters, flowerpots, buckets, or other areas where rainwater collects.

Despite your attempts to eliminate standing water on your property, you will still likely battle mosquitoes. That’s where the experts at Adams Exterminating Company can help. We offer seasonal mosquito treatments that will help you take back your yard. Our backpack misting service applies a solution to areas where mosquitoes rest during the day. We also install In2Care traps. This EPA approved treatment system attracts female mosquitoes in areas where they breed. They then pass destructive biological agents to their offspring. The In2Care system is safe for humans and pets, but it’s toxic to mosquitoes.

Whether you’re looking for regular treatments or a one-time treatment for a special event, Adams Exterminating Company has the solutions you need to tackle your mosquito problems. Reach out to us today!

Tips To Keep Termites Away From Your Sanger, TX Property

Termites are elusive pests. If they find their way into your Sanger home, they will live and eat away at the cellulose in the wood for a long time before you notice their presence. Unfortunately, once you realize there’s an infestation, they likely caused extensive damage to your property resulting in costly repairs.

Description

Residents and business owners in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex likely experience problems with subterranean termites. These termites exist in a caste system. Each caste functions differently in the colony with the overall goal of increasing the population.

• Workers make up a majority of the population. They eat through cellulose to feed the other members of the colony including the young. They also keep their colony clean by pushing waste or frass out of small exit points. If you have a termite problem, you may see piles of frass near baseboards.

• Soldiers are slightly larger than workers and function to protect the colony. They have pincers that help them defend their territory. If termites are living in your structure, you may hear clicking sounds inside the walls. This sound comes from the soldier termites.

• Queens and reproductives are the largest termites whose primary function is to lay eggs. Once a colony reaches maximum capacity, reproductive or alates will develop wings, swarm, mate, and find a place to establish a sister colony.

Problem

Termites are destructive pests and will slowly and methodically destroy the structural integrity of our home. Termites are quiet and rarely expose themselves to daylight. Therefore, as they eat away at your home and continue to reproduce, you will not know they are there.

Once termites cause significant damage, you may notice hollow-sounding wood, excess moisture, buckling doorways, and peeling paint.

Once a colony is developed, alates or reproductives will emerge from the colony to swarm. You may notice their discarded wings on windowsills or on the floor. If you do, you have a developed termite problem and should contact a professional.

Solution

Our experts at Adams Exterminating Company recommends the following precautionary measures to keep termites away:

• Repair any leaks in and around the home including faucets, pipes, and drains.

• Install dehumidifiers to reduce areas of excess moisture.

• Store firewood away from the foundation of your home.

• Remove decaying rotten wood from your lawn.

• Check for rotting wood in your home; replace rotten boards.

• Avoid contact between the wood that makes up your home and the soil to prevent decay.

• Cut brush back from the exterior of your home.

The best way to avoid a termite problem is to put preventative measures in place. A foolproof method of preventing termites is with a long-term termite protection plan. Adams Exterminating Company uses the Sentricon® System with Always Active­™ to prevent or eliminate termites. This baiting system works constantly to provide the highest level of termite protection available.

Keep Rodents From Running Rampant In Your Sanger Home

Description

Sanger is mostly plagued with three rodent species: the house mouse, the roof rat, and the Norway rat.

• House mice have grey or brown fur, white bellies, and can reach up to 3 ¾ inches long with a tail of equal length.

• Roof rats have dark fur and a light belly. Their bodies reach 8 inches long with a tail of equal length.

• Norway rats are the largest rat species you’ll likely find your Sanger home. They can reach 10 inches long with a tail of equal length.

Problem

Rodents pose two major problems for Sanger property owners. They damage structures and spread disease. Rodents have incisors that never stop growing. As a result, they chew everything including drywall, baseboards, cardboard, and even wiring which could result in an electrical fire. As they gnaw, they collect material for their nests and food. They also leave behind waste that, over time, will smell, destroy insulation, saturate drywall, and cause mold and mildew problems.  

Rodents also carry diseases that they spread as they contaminate surface areas and food items with their droppings and rub marks. Some diseases include hantavirus, leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, tularemia, salmonellosis, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis. If you have a significant rodent problem, contact a professional that has the safety equipment needed to solve the problem and clean up the mess left behind.

Solution

At one point or another, you will likely battle rodents in your home or business. DIY methods like cleaning up food messes, storing food in sealed plastic or glass containers, wiping down and vacuuming surfaces, and putting away pet food at night will help reduce your chances of developing a rodent problem. However, you may work hard to keep clean and still find yourself facing a rodent problem. You may choose to set traps only to realize that rodents are smart and will catch on to your elimination efforts. Fortunately, our experts at Adams Exterminating Company know how to completely and safely eliminate rodents from your Sanger building. Reach out to us today to schedule your free estimate.
