Atlanta Pest Infestations

3/29/2014

There are already a plethora of different types of annoying little bugs and pests to be  found in the Metro Atlanta area (spiders, roaches, fire ants, rats, termites, etc.) that are enough to make the average homeowner cringe. Recently, however, Atlanta has been rocked with the invasion of not one, but TWO insect species. Now, more than ever, homeowners are in need of an effective Atlanta pest control service to keep their homes bug free.

In the past five years, there has been an invasion of ugly, brown, stinky, ladybug lookalike creatures, better known as kudzu bugs, who are aiming to make their presence known in front of houses all over metro Atlanta. Originally from Asia, this invasive species is believed to have come to the Western world, by way of plane, to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. Since their discovery in 2009, kudzu bugs have spread to over seven states.  Apparently, they  are thriving here in America  and their irritating presence is being felt  in neighborhoods all over metro Atlanta. 

Although kudzu bugs don't bite or sting, they are annoying because of the foul odor that they emit, and because of their tendency to cluster on light colored buildings and clothing. Unfortunately, these brazen little pests don't seem to have any fear of human beings. Additionally, they have a tendency to seek shelter inside  of homes and will bring their horrible stench with them. Once inside the home, they are even harder to get rid of. The homeowner will require  the help of a professional Atlanta pest  control technician in order to remove the problem  effectively.

On a lighter note, there is one  positive benefit to the  presence of the kudzu bug;  it destroys the parasitic kudzu vine  (also from Asia) that kills our native plants. However, it's  fairly certain that this fact will not be a comfort to any homeowner that happens to find clusters of kudzu bugs on their property.

The second infestation that seems to be plaguing the  residents of the  metro  Atlanta  area are bed bugs;  those evil, blood  sucking little  monsters  that  we sung about  as little kids are back. Bed bugs are small parasitic pests feed on the blood  of humans and other hosts;  creatures  like birds and bats. They are nocturnal insects  so it is very rare to see them during the day. In fact, many people are not even aware of a bed bug infestation until it has already grown out of control. 

Did you know that bedbugs have been shown to be immune to certain types of insecticides? Or that  they have a tendency  to reproduce quickly?   This virtual invincibility gives them the ability to spread their infestations rapidly  throughout the surrounding areas. Removing them permanently will require the trusted services of an experienced Atlanta pest control company.

Bedbugs in Atlanta have made a resurgence lately and are being seen in college dormitories, hotel rooms, apartment complexes, nursing homes, and hospitals all over  metro Atlanta and its surrounding areas. Surprising, these infestations are not a result of unsanitary living conditions. In truth, housekeeping cannot prevent a bedbug problem.  These vampire like insects are not only found in beds and mattress,  but also under  furniture and  behind headboards;  anywhere where they can retire unmolested and a food source is nearby. It is impossible for a  normal person to find and destroy  all of their hiding places. Bed bugs infestations will need the help of  professional Atlanta pest control technicians to help alleviate a problem of this magnitude.

A house is more than four walls  and a roof, it is a home, a place of  refuge and  comfort  from the outside world. Therefore,  pests should not be in a homeowner's sanctuary, crawling over food, and eating awayat their  peace of mind. In order to relieve any big bug issue, a homeowner will require the help  of experienced pest control technicians to determine the best method to get rid of their particular pest problem.

Homeowners in metro Atlanta face many threats of the pest variety and can be overwhelmed with the sheer number of insect intruders that are trying to enter their homes. Don't lose hope, these invaders simply require effective pest control to 

control their populations. Make a phone call to the local Atlanta pest control technician today to solve all bug related issues.

Alpharretta Pest Control

Many people are looking for general pest control in Alpharetta Georgia, and are worried about doing the task themselves, versus hiring a professional.

While it is possible to do it oneself, there are a myriad of choices out there, and not all of them work for the same pests.  A professional will assess the situation, noting the types of pests in the home, and will then specially treat the home for said pests.  With a professional, there is a guarantee that the pests will not come back in a specific time period, and if they do, the professionals come back and retreat.

For those worried about pets, and pest control, there are a number of pest control products on the market that are actually very harmful to domestic pets, and these can even cause death if eaten (oftentimes, dogs can choke on ant or roach traps, or get upset stomachs from eating poison). 

Professional pesticides, however, are typically administered at just a one percent concentrate, which are effective enough to kill small insects, but pose no threats to animals or people.  Additionally, the droplets do not remain in the air long enough to be a threat to breathing.

Even the residue that is left behind is only toxic to bugs, not your pets. 

Those who are looking for general pest control in Alpharetta, Georgia, who want to make sure their pets are kept safe from harmful chemicals or traps, should consider calling a professional.

It doesn't matter if the pest problem comes in the form of ants, mice, or cockroaches. As soon as the pesky little critters move into your residence or your business they need to be dealt with. Some of these pests carry diseases that can be harmful to humans. 
Pests also have the ability to do a great deal of damage to buildings, particularly if the population has a chance to multiply. 
Pacific Pest Solutions

When it comes to getting rats out of a building, Pacific Pest Solutions is one of the best commercial pest control companies in the Marietta area. The professionals will look at the building and come up with a way to remove the rats from the premise that won't harm anyone else. They'll also determine how the rats are getting into the building and seal the space. After the rats have been removed from the building, Pacific will clean up any mess the flying rodents made. Pacific Pest Solutions provides a variety of pest removal services.

PPS Does Fleas

Again, Pacific Pest Solutions has a friendly and professional team who will come into the building and quickly kill all of the fleas. They'll also advise you on things you can do to prevent future infestations.

A Variety of Services

Squirrels in Your Gutters?

11/5/2013

PictureSquirrel climbing down
Have you noticed Squirrels in your gutters? Squirrels are known to make homes or nests in gutters. This can detract from their overall cuteness.
There are things to consider, however, when dealing with this kind of nuisance. For example, when was the last time you cleaned your gutters?  Taking away the debris squirrels use to build their nests is always a good place to start.  
Other articles, however, will tell you to do some things you may not have time to do, or access for some of the things required to pull off the task.  
Provide a Natural Habitat
Though some may suggest this, it is probably not the most time friendly.  If you have the means and the time to plant trees and bushes and other natural habitats for squirrels, then by all means, do so.  However, this isn't always going to work.
Predators Urine
Most people aren't going to take the time to buy or collect the urine of squirrels natural predators.  It just isn't going to happen.  However, as some suggest, this can scare the rodent bothering you and your home enough that they decide to move.
Call a Rodent Control Professional
Pest control professionals can help.  In fact, this is the most popular method used by busy individuals. Some professionals like this Atlanta pest control professional use a method known as: exclusion. It is the job of the professional to remove the squirrel or rodent from your gutters or home, and then create a physical barrier, thereby removing the pest permanently.  
Should you have any questions about the last method, then calling a professional that deals with exclusions in your area may be a wise move.  One helpful hint, ask for a free inspection to see if an exclusion is right for you.

Living with rats or mice in your home is nothing desirable for any homeowner, and for a business owner it can be downright deplorable.  Our video above is rather short and informative, but here we will sum it up, just for you.

Mice and rats as we stated are not welcomed guests in most peoples homes or businesses. They can carry disease and really do some damage to your buildings, or customers.  While it is possible to take care of the problem on your own, it is time consuming and possibly not worth the time, money, and effort if you aren't successful. 

Enter Atlanta pest control professionals.  Pacific Pest Solutions and our team of professionals will eliminate your problem and offer ongoing service to make sure once and for all, rodents are not a problem.

Did Your Pest Control Company Harm Your Household Pet?

2/16/2013

Albeit rare, there are times when the work of an exterminator can accidentally harm, and in some instances, kill your household pet. Obviously, this is not something anyone wants to have happen to them. This page will serve as a guide to help you the customer know what to ask your pest control expert when you are shopping for the best pest control experience you can have.
Protecting Your Pets from Pest Control Hazards
Our pets, by and large, are a part of our families. They, for many people, are the children in the home and it is up to pet owners to protect them and keep them safe from harm. Unfortunately, the need for pest control is a normal part of life, too, and these two necessities don't always mix well. In recent years many have taken to the Internet to speak about pest control outfitters, in the process of taking care of a pest infestation, unwittingly poisoned a pet. The guilt and grief that comes with a poisoned pet is unimaginable. Thankfully, there are ways to ensure pets are kept safe during the pest control process. 

The importance of proper pest control, pets that are poisoned by pest control measures, are a consideration that must be thought of before picking the proper pest control option. Pet owners are advised to be diligent when dealing with pest control. While all pest control outfitters mean well when they enter a home, not all are going to be forth coming with pet owners about the safety of the solutions and pest control measures that they are using. That is why doing proper research and understanding what the potential measures that will be used in your home is important to keeping pets safe and sound during the pest control or extermination experience. 
For starters, keep in mind the type of pest control you are planning to use.  For example, is it rodent control, termite control, ant control, etc?  Most termite control jobs entail placing baiting systems outside your house (as this Youtube video shows).  This type of pest control, by design, is a lot less likely to harm your pets, because the poison is buried into the ground. However, if your lawn service, or dog digs up the baiting system, it stands a chance of harming your animal.  Although this example is unlikely, it is not outside the realm of happenstance.  Ask your service professional all about the poisons that go into your ground or home, only then will you know the likelihood of what can go wrong, and what you can do to prevent it from happening. 
After you've considered the importance of proper pest control, pets that are poisoned, you, etc. You must aim to keep your animal safe. The first step is to find a pest control company that uses poison that is not harmful to traditional pets, like this local Atlanta pest control company. Most companies try their best not to harm any animals, but better to not be the fool who didn't ask.  It is also important, if you are an exotic pet owner, to share the information with the professional you are working with. Ask questions and ask for referrals from friends who have had pest control outfitters in their homes with their pets. 

Keeping our pets safe is serious business, but keeping pests out of a home is, too. Many pet owners feel stuck between a rock and a hard place, but they don't have to. By following these simple tips, and working with a safe outfitter you can rid yourself of vermin and keep your pets safe in the process.
