Of all the home pests, bed bug n roaches are most common. Getting rid of them is the most important and difficult task. Professional help is recommended to completely get rid of them. <br /><br />Bed Bugs<br /><br />Bed bug epidemic is not a recent problem but it has been disturbing people for thousands of years. During the day, bedbugs hide in the cracks and crevices of: Mattresses Box springs Beds, frames, Headboards, under peeling paint and loose wall paper under carpeting near baseboards. By feeding on infected people, bedbugs can be infected with some blood borne diseases. After World War II, they were eradicated from most developed nations with the use of DDT. This pesticide has since been banned because it's so toxic to the environment. <br /><br />The risk of encountering bedbugs increases if you spend time in places with high turnovers of night-time guests — such as hotels, hospitals or homeless shelters. <br /><br />Bedbugs are reddish brown, oval and flat, about the size of an apple seed. During the day, they hide in the cracks and crevices of beds, box springs, headboards and bed frames. It's an overwhelming task to eliminate bedbugs from your home. Professional help is recommended. <br /><br />Differentiating between a bed dug and insect bite is difficult. In general, the areas of bedbug bites are: Red, often with a darker red spot in the middle Itchy, are arranged in a rough line or in a cluster located on the face, neck, arms and hands. Some people have no reaction at all to bedbug bites, while others experience an allergic reaction that can include severe itching, blisters or hives. <br /><br />Cockroaches<br /><br />Cockroaches or roaches in a home are health hazards. Unfortunately, the breeding rate of roaches breed is quick, so if one roach gets in a home, this quickly leads to more. Different types of roaches can be a source of various diseases. They can trigger allergic reactions and even asthma attacks. Bacteria on the bodies of roaches can cause vomiting, sneezing, diarrhea, reddened skin and salmonella.<br /><br />Even if a homeowner does not see a roach, there are other signs of roaches in the home. Roaches lay small, brown kidney-shaped cases which contain eggs. Juvenile cockroaches, called nymphs, are miniature but wingless versions of their parents.<br /><br />Roaches enter a home because food and water are easily available. Clean up food spills, even crumbs as soon as possible. Regularly remove trash. Soak up water spills and fix leaky faucets that could cause puddles for roaches to drink from. Trim bushes, long weeds and ivy where roaches can live.<br /><br />About Author<br />Sophia Alexander is a chief editor since early 2007, and she currently works for Pets and their care.

They are sneaky creatures and will hide in almost anything. They are real headache and eliminating them can be difficult if not done right. Bed bugs are small, reddish insects, which are about 4-5mm long. Bed bugs are invasive insects that can be hard to detect.<br /><br />Bed bugs are tiny insects that drink the blood of humans. They are not avoidable even if we take preventative measures. They Are like little vampires that take up residence in your home. They Are small, nocturnal parasites that call many places their homes. Bed bugs are more resilient and resistant than any other pest, including rats and cockroaches.<br /><br />Bed bugs are a small wingless insect that feed upon the blood of animals including humans. They are small, brownish, flattened insects that feed solely on the blood of animals. They are small brown insects that feed on the blood of warm blooded mammals. They are tiny, blood-sucking insects. Bed bugs are fast moving insects that are nocturnal blood-feeders. Bed bugs are often mistaken for fleas, ticks and or baby cockroaches. They are elusive and usually nocturnal, which can make them hard to spot. They Are not known to transmit disease. Bed bugs can wander between adjoining apartments through voids in walls and holes though which wires and pipes pass<br /><br /><br />Bed bugs can live up to a year without feasting on blood. They are negatively affect our physical, mental, and social wellbeing. Bedbugs have a stigma that the person who got them is a dirty person which is far from true. They spread readily from infested units to surrounding units in multi-occupancy settings. They travel in your clothing and luggage easily. Bed bugs can attach themselves to you without you even knowing.<br /><br />Bed bugs can survive for 9-12 months without eating. They Are most active when people are sleeping. They Are clearly a problem that is far more serious than people realize. Bed bugs were once nearly eliminated as a pest in civilized society.bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-10672070113192181872010-12-15T06:45:00.001-08:002010-12-15T06:52:11.191-08:00Summit Targeting Bedbugs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsGR7ByTTnUXTu84d80u5-B67WgeQ2F4qaNAcqBME_HW7InrR1NVqH5DWGnfTo7AilSaHlhvU7Es9AVgIy-o7loRZjjqKffBAgxel3WhYz9FfVLTPhr3TzDlEvYYdsqlPwjqD7Lj8p0QQ/s1600/Under+the+mattress.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsGR7ByTTnUXTu84d80u5-B67WgeQ2F4qaNAcqBME_HW7InrR1NVqH5DWGnfTo7AilSaHlhvU7Es9AVgIy-o7loRZjjqKffBAgxel3WhYz9FfVLTPhr3TzDlEvYYdsqlPwjqD7Lj8p0QQ/s200/Under+the+mattress.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550920543104975586" /></a><br /><br />The Federal Bedbug Workgroup is holding a second national summit that is set for Feb.1st and 2nd of 2011, in Washington, D.C. to help find solutions to the bedbug epidemic we seem to be in the middle of. They are focusing on ways the federal government and others can continue to toil collectively on management and control of these pests, the summit is open to the public. <br />The initial federal bedbug summit was held by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) back in April 2009. Since then, the EPA has aided in organizing the Federal Bedbug Workgroup, which consists of the following; the EPA, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of Commerce, and National Institutes of Health.<br />The summit’s program will highlight talks on progression since the last summit from various perspectives, including federal, state, and local governments; research; housing industry; and pest management industry. The program also includes identifying information gaps and barriers for successful bedbug control, proposals for next steps in addressing information gaps and eliminating barriers, and developing a framework for addressing the highest priority needs.<br />There are a few steps people can take to prevent bedbugs:<br />• Remove all clutter in home, clutter provides good hiding spots for bed bugs<br />• You should seal all cracks and crevices around your home<br />• Try to vacuum your rugs and upholstered furniture thoroughly and frequently, as well as vacuuming under beds (take the vacuum bag outside immediately and dispose in a sealed trash bag)<br />• Dry clothing and bed sheets at high temperatures (heat will kill bedbugs)<br />• Stay on alert and check for bedbugs so they may be treated before a major infestation occurs<br />• READ THE LABEL FIRST, before using any pesticide product, then follow the directions<br />• Check the label on the product to make sure it is identified for use on bedbugs. If bed bugs are not listed on the label, the pesticide has not been tested for bedbugs and it may not be effective<br /><br />Prior to the summit, the federal workgroup will congregate with researchers to evaluate and develop a re-search agenda related to bedbugs. The plan and information on attending the meeting via webinar will be available for everyone on the EPA’s website.bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-58133342798026255152010-11-02T13:18:00.000-07:002010-11-02T13:19:11.097-07:00The Bed Bug Advisory boardThere is a bed bug advisory board that was put in place by Mayor Bloomberg for the city of New York. This advisory board was created to address and control the spread of bed bugs in New York City. It produces reports that entail recommendations on how to deal with the bed bug issues in commercial and residential sites. The bed bug advisory board has many other great purposes besides that, it tracks infestations thru out the city, how to dispose of the items that are beyond repair due to an infestation. It also includes a list of rights and responsibilities for tenants, and landlords.<br />The bed bug problem we are facing is on such a large scale that even other cities have introduced a bed bug hot line, all landlords are required to release all information regarding bed bug issues in their unit, there’s also a soft ware to track all of the bed bug complaints, information sites in a several different languages, there is a mandatory protocol and inspection in regard to the sale of new and used furniture, also they established a centralized database for all exterminators. According to statistics there was a 34% increase in calls this year in comparison to last year. According to reports some of the Mayor’s friends also have bed bugs, all the more reason for the mayor to push such an advisory board. Ms. Renee Corea is the speaker appointee and public advocate of the Advisory board she says “the purpose of the board is to make specific recommendations to the mayor and city council for the prevention and treatment of bed bug infestations throughout the city.”bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-91418867087971113432010-10-27T12:32:00.000-07:002010-10-27T12:36:25.749-07:00The importance of a Bed Bug inspection for home and business<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAuimwzR9NxgcK2lzvbqgLVN6f54SW2X1YYs80isf2ytR_mDz89EQ9X1xBx9QmOLRYCC2Jv63KNJvM4fOcxSjP97fxTQASWHyj8GD5_ynK1xBMJYZyTrdh-3YFpJAVFUEF_Fmjk4yEB2g/s1600/IMG_20101008_095633.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAuimwzR9NxgcK2lzvbqgLVN6f54SW2X1YYs80isf2ytR_mDz89EQ9X1xBx9QmOLRYCC2Jv63KNJvM4fOcxSjP97fxTQASWHyj8GD5_ynK1xBMJYZyTrdh-3YFpJAVFUEF_Fmjk4yEB2g/s200/IMG_20101008_095633.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532811970439849010" /></a><br />New York is a congested place, especially the metropolitan city of New York. The city is filled with high rise buildings as many families prefer to live in these areas because of work reasons and that they cannot afford yet to go for a suburban area. Of course city life has its appeal. Being part of this amazing city is like a dream for many. Actually, New York is a paradise for some and strangely some are not human. These critters live in the darkest depths and corners of the city, just looking for the opportunity to get in and take advantage of what you have inside your home, including you. They are not foreign to us. It’s just that they are specifically very prominent in New York.<br /><br />City pests and infestations come in a variety of forms. You will find ants, flies, mosquitoes, rodents and of course, the ever persistent bed bugs. City pests are notorious in the area. The reason is that the people are used to moving to places all the time. Apartment living makes it more convenient for them to move from one place to another. Cannot live with the rent costs? Move to another apartment! However, chances are there will be some little critters lurking in abandoned apartment spaces. At a cheap price, sometimes, you have to live with that fact. However, event decent homes and apartments can be victims of these bed bugs. <br /><br />The thing is living with these pests is not an option. Rats and cockroaches carry nasty diseases. If you ever have a great amount of these pests lurking around your home, chances are, they will go through your food and be dangerous to your health. Having them already in your home is like living in a messy house. It feels like you are not secure since there are critters ready to jump out on you. Rodent excretions can cause a lot of diseases. Cockroaches can also cause conjunctivitis. Imagine also the kinds of surfaces that rats and roaches go to. They could have been from sewage pipes, garbage dumps and city streets. <br /><br />Another form of infestation is in the form of bed bugs. These are nasty little critters that in the middle of the nineties have reemerged as a nasty pest in massive numbers. They thought in the 1940s and 50s that bed bugs have been eradicated. Now, they are immune to old insecticides and chemicals. They are more rampant and they are ready to take a bite from any mammal blood again. Bed bugs are nasty because they not only suck your blood, they could also make you sick. Imagine the horror of hundreds of these small nasty insects sucking you at once. You could have anemia just from these nasty insects. You can also get other skin related problems.<br /><br />The great thing is that here in New York as well as the neighboring New Jersey, pest control experts are there to give you the relief from such infestations. Pest control specialists have the tools of the trade for bed bug control. The good thing is that most experts use naturally occurring chemicals in various forms in order to eradicate them, but at the same time not cause any respiratory issues to the homeowners. In severe cases, heat is applied across the whole area since bed bugs can die in intense heat. Bed bug infestations are very rampant and each homeowner is responsible for their own space. <br /><br />Of course even if you clean your home every day, there is still a possibility of having bed bugs most especially if you live in any areas in New York or New Jersey. Due to the fact that the homes are adjacent to each other, insects can crawl from one apartment level to the other and infest the building on a massive scale. As tenants who follow the rules and maintain the home safe and clean, it is your right to live in a pest free apartment. You should contact your landlord if you are suspecting a neighboring apartment from upstairs or downstairs if there are any infestations lurking out from their spaces. That is the danger of not taking care of the space, neighbors can and most likely will get affected. As a community, it is your duty to take care of you space and be conscientious about other people's welfare.<br /><br />As for landlords and apartment building owners, you have a responsibility to inspect your tenants’ apartments and all the aspects of the apartment building. As an owner, you need to take advantage of the aspects to ensure that your building is safe from any infestations. You need to have an inspector or a pest control specialist to address the issues more effectively. Remember that tenants can file a law suit against a landlord if he or she does not do his or her part in keeping the apartment safe. Businesses can get shut down if the infestations are really big.<br /><br />New York has some of the biggest infestations in the entire United States. It is not only in homes where the infestations can get affected, even in office spaces and commercial buildings, infestations can arise. From hotels to food businesses, infestations can cause massive problems to the quality of their services. A space that is unsanitary or is not maintained well, is thriving in humidity and with a lot of food items and organic materials left unattended or not stored well, infestations can damage the whole operation of the business. <br /><br />Dealing with infestations is very difficult to do alone. Commercial products often do not work very well and they can lead to respiratory problems if not used properly. It is your duty to ask the help of pest control experts. They have training in a variety of pests and they know the best ways to handle the problem. Working with pests is their passion so it is best to have an expert handle the task of removing the pest for home. They also use professional tools to effectively eradicate the infestations in your home. Modern tools for pest eradication can leave you pest free for months. This is the kind of comfort that you need as a home or business space owner.<br /><br />Aside from professional pest experts, you also need to be aware of your responsibilities. You need to make sure that your food items are always stored in secure places. Make sure to fill holes and any cracks inside your home to prevent ants and mice from entering and thriving. Clean the clutter under your bed and around your corners. Always clean your bed and do not clutter your bed with stuff, as that will give them more places to hide. Clean your carpets regularly or as instructed. Again, these things are pretty basic but you can benefit really well if you do them regularly. If you see that there are some pests in the halls of your apartment report the issue to the landlord. The same goes for hotels and commercial buildings. These pests can linger anywhere so it would be very possible to find one lurking in the most populous places as well. <br /><br />Regular checkups for residential and commercial establishments are necessary and recommended. If you own a building, have a building administrator and a cleaning crew to handle the task of maintaining the cleanliness of the common areas. A clean space has little chance for insects to thrive since they do not have food for their needs. You need to make it a point to have routine checkups on your tenants and advise them to clean their homes regularly. Tenants can be evicted for being unsanitary since they can really affect the health of the people living in their area.<br /><br />Pests are a massive problem in New York and New Jersey. You are not alone in this battle. Everyone needs to work on addressing pest issues in their homes and offices. Pests can live in the most inhospitable places. Imagine a house or an office these spaces could be paradise for them. Take care of your home as well as your family and your business. Having a home is an important investment. You do not need to live in a posh home just to live comfortably. Make it a goal to always maintain and inspect your house. They are ready to help you when you need it. If you have bed bugs and rodents, most pest control services are available 24/7. Most experts know that when you have bed bugs, you want them gone from your house as soon as you realize you have them. They can handle the task of removing the bed bugs, detecting them and ensuring you that these pests will be out of your home for months to come. There is a price to pay for pest control but for the comfort that it can provide, nothing can match that.<br /><br />http://www.nypestpro.combedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-5530584971754736162010-09-27T10:59:00.000-07:002010-10-05T14:08:16.105-07:00Periplaneta americana "American Cockroach"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz383y_Z0bpoVIoBXMxE5PVZCZk7_dOTMiTJ7TFgpZxBFOwXQE_mkpow5qS9TbLBqAYk_f4m-02_1ywRG6EQX8uPHJaMMFfpSyd5oXzCeifkjRUPuvnEddrBAN3UDUOvkN3tXI2OOU3Wc/s1600/waterbug.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz383y_Z0bpoVIoBXMxE5PVZCZk7_dOTMiTJ7TFgpZxBFOwXQE_mkpow5qS9TbLBqAYk_f4m-02_1ywRG6EQX8uPHJaMMFfpSyd5oXzCeifkjRUPuvnEddrBAN3UDUOvkN3tXI2OOU3Wc/s200/waterbug.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524671699499503298" /></a><br />Periplaneta americana, also known as the American cockroach, the largest widespread North American cockroach also the largest of the common peridomestic cockroaches, they reach 44 mm in length about 4 cm. The American Cockroach is a dark reddish-brown little thing with a whitish peripheral band around the pronotum. The adults possess large wings and are able to fly, even though they rarely do so. Nymphs are wingless. It is easily, although unintentionally and remorsefully, spread by human commerce, import/export and is worldwide in warm climates and, in heated buildings. It occurs in buildings throughout warm climates and during warm weather in colder climates especially in commercial buildings. In the northern United States the American Cockroach is primarily found in steam heat tunnels or large institutional buildings. The American cockroach falls second to the German cockroach in abundance.. Periplaneta is a creature of the night, negatively phototactic, and prefers dark warm, moist habitats. The American Cockroach is extremely sensitive to vibrations and it has come to be known as one of the world’s fastest running insects, I'm sure you may at one time have tried to stomp one in the kitchen late at night. Periplaneta americana is one of several cockroaches found living in and around human habitations. <br /> The life cycle of an American Cockroach starts off as an egg, and then it turns in to an adult, or imago. The eggs are laid in a tough, hardened protein case, the case normally containing 16 eggs. Females average one egg case per month for most of the year but may exceed that average through periods of peak reproductive activity. Nymphs do not have functional wings, but wing pads begin to appear in the 4 th instar and slowly expand in size when they shed the hard, protective outer covering. The life span is 2-3 years with only the last year being spent as an adult. Adults live for about a year. <br /> The American Cockroach, an omnivorous, opportunistic, scavenging species feeds on just about anything organic, plant or animal, but favors starches and sugars. <br /> Cockroach population density is controlled naturally by several species of parasitoid wasps. These wasps are egg parasitoids in which the female wasp lays it's eggs in the roach egg casing where the wasp larvae hatch and feed on roach eggs. The female, with great struggle, inserts one egg in each cockroach egg casing. The larva hatches and consumes all 16 roach eggs before achieving a length of 8 mm, it undergoes transformation, and emerging from the now empty cockroach casing. Adults are tiny, about 2 mm long. Both species are stingless and are of no threat to us humans. Small wasps that are seen in roach-infested areas should by all means be protected and encouraged, not killed. Some attempts to contain cockroach populations with pesticide and/or chemical sprays may be counterproductive because they accidentally kill parasitoids in addition to the roaches. Roach pellets which are selective, are more effective. <br /> All cockroaches are not biological vectors for human disease although they can serve as mechanical vectors simply by harboring infectious organisms such as Ascaris eggs, bacteria, or protozoan cysts on their body surfaces. <br />The American cockroach, Periplaneta americana , is an exotic roach that was introduced to us in North America from Africa in the early 1700's. It is the largest of the household species of roaches, reaching 44 mm in length. Both male and female have fully functional wings but occasionally fly. They can develop to massive numbers, more than 5,000 can sometimes be found in individual sewer manholes. The cockroaches live outdoors but will make their way indoors for food and water or during extremes in weather conditions. In areas where there are trees, woodpiles, garbage facilities, and accumulations of organic debris around homes provide adequate food, water. They move around by crawling or flying into structures often entering houses and apartments from sewers via the plumbing, by trees and shrubs located alongside buildings or trees with branches overhanging roofs facilitate the entry of cockroaches into the home. The American cockroach responds in a negative way to light, it rests in harborages close to water pipes, sinks, baths, and toilets, for example, where the microclimate is appropriate for survival. Ecological factors such as the humidity and temperature can increase or decrease the developmental time of this cockroach. When outdoors the female shows a preference for moist, concealed sites to lay it's eggs. It consumes rotting organic matter but since the cockroach is a scavenger it will eat most anything. It has a sweet tooth and prefers to eat sweets and has been observed eating paper, boots, hair, bread, fruit, book bindings, fish, peanuts, old rice, putrid sake, the soft part on the inside of animal hides, cloth and dead insects. American cockroaches may turn into a public health problem because of their involvement with human waste and disease, and their ability to make their way from sewers into homes and commercial establishments. During the summer months in the United States, alleyways and yards maybe flooded by the American cockroaches. To prevent these filthy creatures from entering your home you should seal all openings through ground level walls, remove rotting leaves from around your home. Other preventative measures are insecticides that are applied to basement walls, wood scraps, and other infested locations. Residual sprays is to be applied inside and around the perimeter of an infested structure. pellet baits which are loose and toxic, are extremely effective in controlling the population of the America cockroach.bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-59527701800979818272010-09-20T07:34:00.000-07:002010-09-20T07:35:34.843-07:00Mouse IssuesMouse Control<br />Overview<br />That furry little haze you just saw zoom across in front of your fireplace? Those brown, rice-shaped droppings behind the stove? O.K., really how much of a headache can a couple of mice be?<br />In a single year a female mouse will most likely have 5 to 10 litters of 5 or 6 young each. In 10 weeks, those babies will be old enough to repeat the process. Assume half the litter is male, the other half female. You do the math.<br />But wait there's more. Though mice have nutritional preferences – any kind of fruit or grains, cereal, and a large variety of vegetables– they will basically settle for anything they can get. They can climb and make their way up just about any rough surface, navigate cables like a dancer on a tight rope, they can also jump. Mice have no bones in their body except for their skull, its all cartilage. This allows them to crawl through holes the size of a dime. Mice can cause structural damage by chewing on wood and gnawing on your wires and this causes fire and electrical safety hazards.<br />Unpleasant Facts About Mice <br />One very repulsive fact about these creepy crawlers is that they give off hundreds of micro-droplets of urine as they travel around their territory every day, which can cause allergies and disease, <br />Odours from the disintegration of a rat or a mouse. If it dies between walls or in a crawl space it could also cause allergic attacks in children prone to them.<br />Even scarier, the rodents can infect humans with hantavirus, a rare but often fatal disease.<br />Eliminating Mice<br />Now you’re surely thinking that you want to get rid of them right?<br />In order to control mice, you must think like a mouse you must think like one. Most experts in rodent control, say the best way to keep mice out of your house is to seal up every existing holes, cracks and crevice in your home . For most people – including those who just don't have the patience to crawl around looking for quarter-inch openings — rodent control consists of catching the mice quickly and efficiently.<br /><br />Mousetraps<br />Traps and poisons are two simple categories rodent control falls into.<br />The traps vary from the familiar Victor snap trap — made from a piece of wood, a tightly wound spring and a platform that holds the bait — to elaborate multiple-catch gizmos that can catch and hold an entire clan of mice. There are newer, plastic traps that are easier to set; traps that catch mice but don't kill them; and the nasty but effective glue board, which holds the mouse until it dies.<br />Their common baits may vary. First off cheese is not the answer. Few experts recommend peanut butter, a cotton ball with a few drops of vanilla flavoring, even strips of bacon are recommended. (It might be helpful to pre-bait a trap – put the bait on the trap but don't arm it at first, so the mice think it's a nice, safe place to get food.) Also one or two traps will not do the trick. <br />If your serious you must start with dozens of traps. One will not do.<br />Poisons<br />Then there are the poisons, or rodenticides used in the procedure.<br />Most of the poisons available are blood thinners: the mice eat it and essentially bleed to death internally.<br />For those who would prefer to "catch and release," just remember, unless you live on a farm in the country and can take them far, far away, the first thing those mice you release are going to do is look for a quarter-inch hole in a nice, warm house. It might even be yours which will bring you back to square one.bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-30929726113279060582010-05-30T07:40:00.001-07:002010-05-30T07:40:54.888-07:00Beeware of the Bees, They’re moving inTwo large swarms of bees are coming into New York, many experts are stating that New York may be inhabited by these stinging, swarming pests. Bee keepers are seeing many more colonies that are thriving in the wild well enough that they are beginning to swarm into our city. Reports are showing that some swarms of bees are swarming into Manhattan this spring. One of the two swarms actually stopped traffic when it flew into a newspaper container on May 7th, 2010, and the second swarm of about 15,000 bees was seen that Thursday near a tree. These large clouds have a threatening appearance, although they are harmless because they are simply working on finding the right place to live.<br />Because of this New York City’s board of Health has decided on Tuesday to allow Beekeeping after it had been banned. Ironically enough some New Yorkers have secretly been tending to beehives on their rooftops and gardens for years, and now it’s legal.<br />Honeybees, also named in the genus Apis look distinguished by the fact that they produce and store honey as well as the fact that they construct perennial and colonial nests made out of wax. There are 7 recognized species of this bee with a total of 44 “subspecies” although through history there have been 6-11 have been recognized. Honeybees represent only about 20,000 of the actual known species.<br />New York City, although it is quite a big City is being invaded by these pests and I saying this you must make sure that you are careful. The fact that these drones aren’t necessarily harmful to us, you shouldn’t bother them because you don’t know what species they are and so they may just sting you. If a bee stings you it leaves behind a pheromone that all the other bees sense and so one sting may lead to a thousand if you disturb the entire colony. You should call a local exterminator in order to rid yourself of them. Simply because we live in New York City doesn’t mean that nature isn’t coming into out space, and so saying so be careful if you see a dark cloud of bees coming your way.bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-34561345589797854402010-05-21T16:30:00.000-07:002010-05-21T16:37:59.950-07:00Lets Talk Carpet Beetles<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN6g06mAQVWf0zsSjga6K40Olw6VP87H4KGtC-C_Bafk47zzMFNL_uq0IZ16RhBdEwrzyyUtZR6r36jirJ2fN1NDvfQDvWB3NmN_rq0fMxdc7J4oAaKpYhXabZmaa_27W2K17QoD9D2hA/s1600/carpeetbeetles.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 151px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN6g06mAQVWf0zsSjga6K40Olw6VP87H4KGtC-C_Bafk47zzMFNL_uq0IZ16RhBdEwrzyyUtZR6r36jirJ2fN1NDvfQDvWB3NmN_rq0fMxdc7J4oAaKpYhXabZmaa_27W2K17QoD9D2hA/s200/carpeetbeetles.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473871583848003154" /></a><br />Welcome, Well New York it’s been a while but I most certainly didn’t forget about you guys! We here at NYpestpro.com have most certainly been very busy. Today I have decided to talk about a very shady and secretive pest, the carpet beetle (yes people that what we call them here). The carpet beetle also known as Attagenus Megatoma or the black carpet beetle is one very destructive little pest. I don’t know what is worse; the fact that it destroys fabrics or that there is two types. The other type of pest, because I am going to refer to them as such is called Anthrenus Verbasi, either way they are both most certainly disgusting.<br /><br />These two pests are normally outside in the adult stages of their lives but they lay their eggs inside of your house and on your clothing. These unwanted buggers ruin your minks, chinchillas, animal trophies, and even hides. ( for those of you that don’t know what an animal trophy is, it’s that animal head that some people mount on their walls and looks creepy). So ladies who own those expensive furs watch out because these nasty pests will destroy you luxurious coats and anything else made of fabric or fur.<br /><br />So New York make sure that you are super careful because these are horrid pests and they will sneak up on you because they hide inside your clothing. Believe me they will find a way into your things and they will ruin everything you own. Here at NYpestpro.com, as always know pests and these I feel are the worst of the worst pests in the entire world.<br /><br /> <br /><br />From our family to yours carpet beetles are annoying so if you see something roaming around in your closet believe me it isn’t lint. Carpet beetles are ugly and may lay up to 100 larvae so imagine a closet full of 100 ugly squirming beetles YUCKIE! The only weird thing about these pests is that when they become adults they go and live outside and they lay eggs on your minks, funny huh. Fortunately they are found mostly in Virginia but don’t think they won’t show up in NY. So ladies make sure you are on top of everything (as we usually are) but especially your winter clothing, that’s the one we normally don’t check due to the fact that we tend to forget about it because we don’t use it.<br /><br />Having said all of that I hope this mini-blog can help you out in your future endeavors and we hope to keep you away from these pests because they will absolutely ruin all the clothing that you own. The best thing that I can say is that you seal all of your clothing in vacuum bags because that way nothing can penetrate them. Well NY we hope we have helped you here at Beyond Pest Control until the next blog NY we will see you soon! Bye Bye New York we all hope to write soon.bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-37133403631486688392010-05-18T04:50:00.000-07:002010-05-18T04:53:25.719-07:00A Quick Explination Of Our Process<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje5ehwGU3Daoevae_7l3Wv-ueVSVYDQvu2OH0SH3Yo5idtLsO3V5Lm2i0irU1GTf9AWdLvRM8FjgyPbhpkESmb7gv1XYxk0QueO2GKWXqvWm-c0NFiJVWpzluNRM1ydN8A2WRPfq7PoOU/s1600/NYPP-logo.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 40px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje5ehwGU3Daoevae_7l3Wv-ueVSVYDQvu2OH0SH3Yo5idtLsO3V5Lm2i0irU1GTf9AWdLvRM8FjgyPbhpkESmb7gv1XYxk0QueO2GKWXqvWm-c0NFiJVWpzluNRM1ydN8A2WRPfq7PoOU/s200/NYPP-logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472576735967580562" border="0" /></a>

class="MsoNormal">We use a dry steam machine, it sounds like an oxymoron but it uses more heat and less water to generate 275 degrees of dry steam. We will heat up walls, dressers, night tables, couches, doors, chairs, any and all furniture. In addition, we also include quarter rounds, window frames, Doors or anywhere in the room where a crack or crevice might exist. The process has two functions: 1) To kill the bedbug 2) To force them out of hiding. Imagine if you are taking a gallon of water to represent the pesticide, and pouring it on a couch. There is no way that you get to every spot on the couch and to every crack and crevice; there are just too many layers. Now use the same principle, and let’s use a quart of steam at 275 degrees. Literally, we inject the wand in one side of the couch and it shoots out at the other side getting into every crack, every crevice, and every fold. It goes into every part of the couch freeing the couch of bedbugs without destroying it or doing any damage to the couch. Generally, the couch looks like it was just cleaned. No pest can survive, including dust mites. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The chemicals</p> <p class="MsoNormal">First, we use a contact killer which does what it says, it kills on contact. Second, we use a long term residual pesticide that will continue to kill long after we’re gone. The third chemical in our kamikaze is an IGR which stands for insect growth regulator. It stops their hunger, growth and reproduction. Last, but certainly not least, we use a synergist that bonds with the pesticide and does two things. 1) Doesn’t allow the bedbugs to have any natural defense to pesticide and 2) Doesn’t allow the pesticide to break down as quickly as it would without it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Dust</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We use a silica base pyrethrum that pierces their skin and turns them off like a light switch. We will pump this powder inside electrical sockets, light sockets or any existing holes in the wall. Electrical circuitry such as televisions, stereos, and alarm clocks will also be powdered inside. The Silica base pyrethrum does not do any damage to the circuitry and protects it from infestation.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Cover</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>If needed, we will also encase mattresses in bedbug proof liners and also encase the box springs. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Silicone</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We will seal any crack and crevice using industrial strength silicone in any area we feel bedbugs are coming from.</p> bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-19243930401728507122010-02-11T16:16:00.000-08:002010-02-11T16:25:07.233-08:00Cabin Fever<span style="font-weight: bold;">Beyond Pest Control</span> continues to make strides in the New York City area by constantly thinking of better ways to serve our customers. We have recently opened up new distribution centers in all the boroughs of NYC, including, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, da Bronx, Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island.<br /><br />This will make it more convenient for you and for us because we are now conveniently local everywhere in the New York metro and L.I. area. If you feel in need of a bedbug inspection, not a problem. We can be there in a hop, skip and a jump. Well, providing we don't get 17 inches of snow dumped on us like we did yesterday, we may have to shovel our way to you, but we will get there sooner than any one else can.<br /><br />Some of you have already noticed the <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">Martha Stewart logo</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQcIWmUsoprAzeV8lOTn0WGAVKR3QegUR6D5VXN91xVKTz0tKCas6eoyOKgnWQrJ_bx5hACR_7UbAzyJUNMwisUFO74UnSMDXXvBl6-yUlvLETDWcw6EpW_iZBdkkL2vMk9ooDpgouPW8/s1600-h/MarthaRadio_logo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 63px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQcIWmUsoprAzeV8lOTn0WGAVKR3QegUR6D5VXN91xVKTz0tKCas6eoyOKgnWQrJ_bx5hACR_7UbAzyJUNMwisUFO74UnSMDXXvBl6-yUlvLETDWcw6EpW_iZBdkkL2vMk9ooDpgouPW8/s200/MarthaRadio_logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437146144718713266" border="0" /></a> on our main page. Yes, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Beyond Pest Control</span> was a special guest interviewed on Martha Stewart Living Radio. Some of you may have caught us live when it was airing, this is just another one of the many way we stay at the top of our game, bringing you the only the best when it comes to serving you and making your house and home, safe and sound, from all the nasty pests that have plagued humankind since the beginning of time. How can anyone properly entertain house guests when their home is overrun with embarrassing, uninvited house pests?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">And our service is not just limited to bedbug inspections</span>. We will eliminate roaches, cockroaches, water bugs, fleas, and any kinds of rodents (rats and mice).<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">In fact, it may be a very good idea to have a bedbug inspection done AFTER you've</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">had stay over house guests.</span> This is how bed bugs travel, with people, with luggage.<br /><br />With all the snow we've been seeing this winter in the city that never sleeps, we all may be experiencing a kind of cabin fever. We can see, ever so slightly, the daylight is starting to get longer each day as we move towards Spring. But keep in mind there are those nasty pests that I mentioned above that want to come in from the cold into your nice warm place. Vermin only slows down, but they never stop coming. And now is the perfect time to have your place inspected because as sure as the sun will rise longer and warmer tomorrow and the next day, these unwanted pest-guests will start to multiply and they know no boundaries.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Give us a call today.</span>bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-48650114540050837812010-02-04T05:53:00.001-08:002010-02-04T05:55:57.647-08:00Bed Bugs Dont Just Live On Beds<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLSdAosPghCmrfWWgvkDbR5AL1LmRFkSQDwsqEhVDXFCq_yphnL3wW3T6wCFG45xttTCJgzt7hS2-xjkmHWkvBmUow-5uq6KrjiefTVaOVOclTXmLazfexD-MMcxIeJvyckqGzIRY5_xg/s1600-h/Under+The+Couch.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLSdAosPghCmrfWWgvkDbR5AL1LmRFkSQDwsqEhVDXFCq_yphnL3wW3T6wCFG45xttTCJgzt7hS2-xjkmHWkvBmUow-5uq6KrjiefTVaOVOclTXmLazfexD-MMcxIeJvyckqGzIRY5_xg/s200/Under+The+Couch.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434386505404411010" /></a>bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-55029983753148272592010-02-01T12:24:00.000-08:002010-02-01T12:40:48.578-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQnfmjFR-dbVbqUVumjRpYsVMWCQ7msS0IemxEVSi1_EST1sqh3m3-fuOGbSOh0A_LPWTQX1gV7Mb3UjhNyfFC35AYJb49pGKuGSiah7BGB5cQ3nEoIuHDvDZPXLMegatpZiZgHpghVzg/s1600-h/AmRedCross_th.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 69px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQnfmjFR-dbVbqUVumjRpYsVMWCQ7msS0IemxEVSi1_EST1sqh3m3-fuOGbSOh0A_LPWTQX1gV7Mb3UjhNyfFC35AYJb49pGKuGSiah7BGB5cQ3nEoIuHDvDZPXLMegatpZiZgHpghVzg/s200/AmRedCross_th.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433374767632301474" border="0" /></a>It's no secret that Americans are generous people.

I know how to help you so that if you do find yourself a vermin victim, through no fault of your own, and in need of an exterminator's services, the job won't become an insurmountable household nightmare. I know I repeat myself quite a bit on this blog but I will tell you again: most people live like slobs. Clutter and debris everywhere. These people are vermin enablers. Roaches, cockroaches, mice, rats, spiders, and yes, even bedbugs (also know as bed bugs) love to live and hide in such a landscape.<br /><br /></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">You may be neat, clean and tidy but if your neighbor is a vermin enabler they can drag you into the pest fray.</span></span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> This is what really plagues most of my customers and is the question I get asked the most: "How did I get this: "</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">fill in the blank</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">" pest problem?" In a city where we live practically on top of one another, it doesn't matter if you if you are clean and neat.

Plastic containers today come in just about every size imaginable. Especially stuff that is on the floor in closets. With snap lids. You can buy these for cheap at any Walmart, K-Mart or Target.<br /><br />Put ALL towels, linens, and off season clothing into these plastic storage bins. If you are concerned about the plastic smell getting onto the fabric, simply use a plastic garbage bag as a liner inside of the storage bin.<br /><br /></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">You should also consider smaller food storage containers especially for rice, breakfast cereals, and dry potatoes for your pantry. Anything that comes in a cardboard box from the grocery store should be repackaged. Keep in mind that mice can chew through plastic bags. You want to use hard plastic containers for storage.</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />If you ever need to call an exterminator because of a problem in your building or neighborhood, your dry goods will<br />be protected.<br /><br /></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">If you already have the pest problem,</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> wash, dry and store your soft fabric goods into plastic storage containers. The dryer heat kills most insect eggs. Throw out any food not stored in hard plastic containers that look like the box was chewed on. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Then give us a call at Beyond Pest Pro.</span></span></span></b></div>bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-2681643985720369952010-01-18T13:12:00.000-08:002010-01-26T07:02:21.529-08:00The Longest Yard<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT4xMzeGItIiOYNTUJ38Fied9z6SLtA2ogW-SvEo_bFF3JFhL-wlfTHdOd0sTW7yCqEhb_F7_-Gdr3kM4xIZYBET4V72QcMSR9xYscqBVQ6e0HH5nkm52QAhI8G794GzJ9-n2agYI4weA/s1600-h/DSC00643.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT4xMzeGItIiOYNTUJ38Fied9z6SLtA2ogW-SvEo_bFF3JFhL-wlfTHdOd0sTW7yCqEhb_F7_-Gdr3kM4xIZYBET4V72QcMSR9xYscqBVQ6e0HH5nkm52QAhI8G794GzJ9-n2agYI4weA/s320/DSC00643.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431063884042483330" border="0" /></a><br /><p style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);"><b>January</b> is the hardest month of the year to get through.

Oh, the weather outside may be frightful, but that doesn't hold a candle to what scary nightmares lurk inside your bedroom as you make ready for the long winter nap. I think many humans are secretly jealous of bears ability to put everything on hold and hibernate for an entire season. Just as the healthy and beneficial sunshine vitamin D grows short, our bodies prepare for the health benefits of longer nights and restful sleep that we need in the winter months.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">But not if you have bedbugs.</span></span><br /><br />The author of that famous Christmas poem with "not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse" was not thinking of the whirlwind maelstrom of you stirring, scratching and getting bit on a mattress loaded to the rafters with hundreds, maybe thousands of disgusting bedbugs seeking a warm dinner and some casual sex with others of their own kind. You're not just the four star restaurant to these blood suckers, your entire bed is an after hours entertainment club.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(246, 232, 216); background-color: rgb(76, 6, 6); text-align: center; width: 96%; height: auto; outline-color: rgb(76, 6, 6); outline-style: solid; outline-width: 2px; display: block;"><big>Trivia Note:</big><br />"The Night Before Christmas" poem's author, Clement Moore, lived in Elmhurst, Queens. There is a bronze plaque in the Broadway public park, where Moore's home once stood. Every year there's a Christmas tree lighting in his honor and the poem is read. The park is located very near Elmhurst Hospital.</span><br />With all the media talk about various flu bugs morphing and going around, the last thing any hard working New Yorker needs is to have bedbugs. Because what is the second thing all doctors tell their patients when a cold or flu threatens?<br />•1 is drink plenty of fluids and<br />•2 is get bed rest, meaning: a full nights sleep.<br />The stress of going to a job tired the next day, or worse, the stress of not having a job and going on interviews with blood shot eyes, won't help you to make that good first impression. <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"> It's the, not getting adequate sleep, that can really run down your immune system</span> and make you vulnerable to all sorts of sickness. Fortunately, bedbugs, in and of themselves, do not spread disease but that is a small consolation when you are suffering from sleep deprivation.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.nypestpro.com/">Connex Environmental</a></span> </span>can solve your problem of the 'all night party bedbugs' so you can get some rest medicine.

It was a nice warm autumn day, we were outside in their backyard. I thought it was safe to wear sandals. My friends were showing me a landscaping problem they had and how they hope to solve it, when all of a sudden my bare toes started to feel somewhat hot and tingly, and not in a good way. And I look down and I see three small ants locked onto my big toe. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Yikes!</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">" </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">what the heck was that!?"</span><br />"Oh, those are fire ants." my friends tell me.<br />"You gotta be careful where you walk down here".<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"> <span style="font-size:130%;">They were not kiddin'!!!</span></span><br /><br />These nasty brown red ants sneak up onto you, then one of them gives a signal and they all chomp down on your skin, and much like a pit bull they hold on but then proceed in a circular motion, ripping a hole into your flesh. <span style="font-weight: bold;"> Real nasty buggers.</span> And a huge problem down south. I was told I was lucky that only three ants grouped together to attach me. This was probably due to the fact it was past their active season, but still, if you disturb their mound, they will wake up and will swarm looking for the invader no matter the time of year.<br /><br />So far, no reports of these <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);font-size:130%;" >"pain in the big toe"</span> ants in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Big Apple area</span>. For this I am thankful, because two weeks later and I'm still scratching the bite area. Our cold winters no doubt are protecting us from one nasty biting ant. New York has enough pest problems without these ants making the scene.

And my experiences has lead me to a wide range of various types of peoples and their living situations.<br /><br />So without further fuss here are the two most important things you need to know to prevent future breakouts of New York City's major pests, which include mostly bedbugs and fleas and to some extent roaches and rodents such as mice and rats.<br /><br />The answer is so simple it may make you feel somewhat disappointed with what you are about to read. But I can assure you, if you follow this simple advice you will cut the odds of getting infested, especially with bedbugs, by more than half in most cases.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);">1)</span> it is to remove household clutter and</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);">2)</span> to be aware when you are out in public traveling with your possessions.</span><br /><br />Now the first bit of advise is obvious. Remove the clutter. Bugs, pests, insects or any type of vermin LOVE clutter. It is their Love Boat. They can hide in it and raise many generations of themselves.<br />N'est-ce Pas? (Or if you prefer freedom fries interpretation: "Isn't it so?")<br /><br />So get rid of stuff you are not using. Clear out those corners that even you can't get into any more. Consider buying plastic tubs or bins with lids for storage.<br /><br />And next up, we'll talk about why everybody will soon be Feng Shui fighting in NYC, if they aren't already doing this.bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-45209025206148495092009-10-25T14:43:00.000-07:002009-10-25T14:46:28.029-07:00Scary Holloweenie Spiders and other nonsenseOne more word about spiders while it's still October. Well, a couple of words... spiders come in all sizes and shapes of small, medium and <span style="font-weight: bold;">large, humongous OMG it has a fur skin, and a bulbous butt, hand me my shotgun, size.</span><br /><br />I have come to realize that many people mistakenly believe that there is a benefit in letting spiders 'live and let live' in their domiciles. While it may be true that spiders do serve a purpose as a pest control agent for flies, cockroaches and other nasty creepy crawlies, it may not be the answer you want played out in your home. Spider "spit" is a sticky messy goo, it attracts dust, crumbs and can stick onto your pets fur or whiskers. Also some people are even allergic to the non-poisonous spider bites and to their spit or web silk as well. <br /><br />Here is an old English nursery rhyme that exaggerates my point and also give you an idea of what life was like before you could simply pick up the phone and scream <span style="font-weight: bold;">"HALP!"</span> to a <span style="font-weight: bold;">licensed qualified exterminator</span>. It also demonstrates that many home remedies are complicated and don't always work out the way we think. :)<br /><br />There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.<br />I don't know why she swallowed the fly,<br />I guess she'll die.<br />There was an old lady who swallowed a spider,<br />that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.<br />She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.<br />I don't know why she swallowed the fly.<br />I guess she'll die.<br /><br />There was an old lady who swallowed a bird.<br />How absurd to swallow a bird.<br />She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,<br />that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.<br />She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.<br />I don't know why she swallowed the fly.<br />I guess she'll die.<br /><br />There was an old lady who swallowed a cat.<br />Imagine that, she swallowed a cat.<br />She swallowed the cat to catch the bird.<br />She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,<br />that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.<br />She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.<br />I don't know why she swallowed the fly.<br />I guess she'll die.<br /><br />There was an old lady who swallowed a dog.<br />My what a hog, to swallow a dog.<br />She swallowed the dog to catch the cat.<br />She swallowed the cat, to catch the bird,<br />She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,<br />that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.<br />She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.<br />I don't know why she swallowed the fly.<br />I guess she'll die.<br /><br />There was an old lady who swallowed a cow.<br />I don't know how she swallowed a cow.<br />She swallowed the cow to catch the dog.<br />She swallowed the dog, to catch the cat.<br />She swallowed the cat to catch the bird.<br />She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,<br />that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.<br />She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.<br />I don't know why she swallowed the fly<br /><br />I guess she'll die.<br />I know an old lady who swallowed a horse...<br />She's dead of course!<br /><br />So if you are seeing an abundance of spiderwebs around your home this fall, give us a call. <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.nypestpro.com">Connex Environmental</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>can get rid of the hunters and the hunted.

Knowing their time is short as the evenings become chillier earlier there are some clever last minute maneuvers made to make sure their lineage continues next spring.<br /><br />Your home is the battle ground between two of these giants in the pest world that I will give special attention to today. <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">Moths and Spiders.</span> Now technically spiders are not insects even though many people do refer to them as that. They are arachnids. Many people consider them to be a beneficial bug in that they do their own messy but efficient pest control. Spiders are lonely, shy hunters. They look for a quiet corner or pick a spot near a light source or water source. Most arachnids are harmless to humans and mind their own business. Only two you need to beware of: the black widow and the brown recluse. (the lonely and the shy)<br /><br />So for this drama -the clothing moth will play the part of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Mothra</span> and the grinning wolf spider, will play Godzilla. As scary and ugly as Godzilla is, he's usually considered the good guy monster. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mothra</span> is the bad guy monster, clothing moth, looking for your expensive Armani wool suit to devour--- <span style="font-weight: bold;">only the best for her eggs.</span><br />But not if Godzilla can lay down it's trap to save the day but in the meantime scaring the candy corn out of you as it swings down from it's ceiling lamp web just to see if you are letting in any more delicious <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Mothras</span>. (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">hmmm</span>, taste like mushrooms)<br /><br />Just like there are small and large spiders, there are small and large moths. The tiny moths, called Indian meal moths, don't care where you hang your winter coat. <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">In fact, they came into your house with you in that bag of peanuts (especially with the peanut shells) bird seed and any dried food, cereal or pet food.</span> If you have tiny gray moths all over the house, driving you batty check your kitchen cupboards, garage or basement. Where ever it is that you store food. You'll know it when you find it.... the closer you get to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Mothra</span> ground zero, the more tiny grey moths you'll see. They somehow manage to always escape the container. If it's peanuts in a clear bag, the bag will no doubt be crawling on the inside. After you scream, carefully remove the source and vacuum the area <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">thoroughly</span>. Any strong liquid disinfectant spray cleaner will do. No need to set off bug bombs. You don't want to poison your own food supply.<br /><br />If you've been having dreams that you are naked in public, you may have a clothing moth problem. Put any suspected garments into the dryer -- the heat will kill any moths and eggs. Dry clean will also work where delicate clothing label instructs.<br /><br />And if sugar grinning spider-boy is making too many websites around your home looking for Moth-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ra</span> traffic, <a href="http://www.nypestpro.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">CONNEX</span> Environmental</a> can make that bad movie disappear from your October nightmares.

And so did the bear where they got their winter skins from after ditching the fig leaves.<br /><br />Insects have plagued us since time began. Just thank the Creator, of all that is good, that you are living now and not back then. All those generations of people down through history had to figure out through trial and error what worked and what didn't to live pest free in their caves and castles.<br /><br />You, however, can simply pick up the phone and call us, <a href="http://www.nypestpro.com/">CONNEX Environmental</a>, and we can be there in most cases the same day, to stop whatever bug is plaguing you, be it fleas, roaches, bedbugs or rodents.<br /><br />Autumn time is when many insects aggressively seek to extend their short lives by moving inside with you where it's nice an warm. Your home or apartment is their Florida vacation. Fleas are naturally attracted to Fido and will jump to hitch a ride on his or her's warm fur. Same thing will happen with purring little fluffy cat, if you allow your cat to roam around the neighborhood.<br /><br />If your pet's immune system is strong, the flea will not like the taste of the bite it gets and will jump off usually into your rug or carpet. It may then try to bite you to see if you taste any better. Fleas will infest a pet with a slow or weaken immune system and the overflow of the flea population, eggs etc, will soon find its way into your household furnishings. This is why as you sit there watching TV at night, your legs get bitten. Those are not always mosquito bites.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">"But I use flea collars!"</span></span> Yeah, and where does the flea collar go? Around your pet's neck, right? Do you put a collar on it's tail end? Guess what? That's where the fleas go. Get a fine tooth flea comb and check the back end of your pet. If you see movement or the comb reveals dirt.... that's most probably flea dirt or poop. By the time you figure out your cat or dog has fleas doing a flea dip bath or buying flea collars is too little, too late. Are you gonna put a flea collar on your sofa or your carpet? Besides many of the chemicals in those products are extremely harsh and can potentially harm your cat or dog's immune system making the situation worse. Some pets even have sensitive skin allergies to flea collars.<br /><br />A flea infestation is difficult to remove and is best left to a professional exterminator like <a href="http://www.nypestpro.com/">CONNEX Environmental</a>. So do yourself and your pet a favor and call us now to get rid of your flea problem.bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-22109177008353381422009-09-25T12:15:00.001-07:002009-09-25T12:15:13.043-07:00<img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bHQ9MTI1MzkwNjA2MzM4OSZwdD*xMjUzOTA2MTEwMjQ5JnA9Mzg2MzYxJmQ9Jm49YmxvZ2dlciZnPTEmbz1lMDJmMDg3YjBjNDQ*ZjIxOTlhMmFmODZjMjdjMTFmNiZvZj*w.gif" /><div style="width:480px;text-align:right;"><embed width="480" height="360" src="http://static.pbsrc.com/flash/rss_slideshow.swf?rssFeed=http%3A%2F%2Ffeed597.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ftt58%2Fnypestpro%2Ffeed.rss" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" > </embed><a href="http://photobucket.com/redirect/album?showShareLB=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.pbsrc.com/share/icons/embed/btn_geturs.gif" style="border:none;" /></a><a href="http://photobucket.com/nypestpro" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.pbsrc.com/share/icons/embed/btn_viewall.gif" style="border:none;" /></a></div>bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-59992258977789158282009-09-19T07:00:00.000-07:002009-09-19T07:58:13.899-07:00The Chronicles of Riddex<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">Or how to save yourself 29.95 plus 17.95 shipping and handling.</span></span><br /><br />Recently I was checking my personal email and the first step I usually do is to select what can easily be deleted and then delete it. I was about to send this one email gem permanently into the ether net when I changed my mind to explore it further. It was a promotional email from Riddex, an electronic plug-in device sold on TV to help me eliminate any and all roaches, mice or rats from my home.<br /><br />I was naturally hooked. Maybe I could put myself out of business, selling these simple devices instead? I hoped what I found out would help my readers to save time and money and in the end get the results they need for their pest problem. But what I found may shock you, no pun intended.<br /><br />The first thing that struck me about the website sales video was their claim that this simple electric plug-in device was not only much simpler to use but it was more effective and way better than having some stranger exterminator come into your home. Two of these plug in devices could put a protective barrier around the average size home. Some video special effects proved it to me with a pulsating grid around a cartoon house. I read their glowing but very short testimonials and<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">I was about to</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 255, 255);"> rip open my velcro wallet</span> when I decide to just do a little google surfing on the subject.<br /><br />I did some various search words from just "Riddex" to "does Riddex work"? The first result got me about 52,000 results, many on the first page were selling the product. However, the first organic link I clicked on had 9 complaints out of 15..... hmmm. So I dug some more...."does Riddex work?"<br />got me 207,000 results with the first page <span style="font-weight: bold;">showing some very pissed off and angry consumers warning others not to waste their money.</span> <span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Velcro makes no sound when you close your wallet.</span></span> It was somewhere on this Google search that I found out the shipping on a plastic device that weighs only a few ounces was 17.95. Yikes. Some people said they like the blinking lights on the thing. My dad referred to those type of things as idiot boxes.... they do nothing but look good doing it.<br /><br />Some other consumers said they probably had the only deaf roaches and mice on the planet and that the only way to kill the vermin was to throw the device at them. There were complaints about noise and that the plug in did in fact<span style="font-weight: bold;"> interfere with their computer especially when using Skype.</span> It hummed.<br />A university in South Carolina and a pet store in Hawaii both did the same experiment with the device and either or roaches or mice crawled comfortable around the thing in an enclosed environment.<br /><br />Now as far as letting a stranger into your home to get rid of your roaches, mice or rats goes, I will tell you that our polite, professional, licensed and experienced pest pros are the best in New York City that you can find. You can feel safe, we will protect you and we are not a blinking light gimmick. And we are green-safe exterminators. Go to our website's <a href="http://www.nypestpro.com/begreen.html">Green page</a> to find out more.<br /><br />Since I quoted my dad earlier, let me give my mom some equal time too. She always said a lazy man works twice as hard.... in this case here with the Riddex device, a cheap man will pay twice as much on quick fixes that don't work.<br /><br />Until the next time....bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684215658983498961.post-32551352478537688092009-09-09T10:04:00.000-07:002009-09-09T10:15:47.902-07:00Bed, Bugs & Beyond<span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:100%;">or</span><br />Linens & Things That Creep In the Night?</span></span><br /><br />Didn't one of those retailers just go out of business? .... but bedbugs certainly haven't. In fact, just like the last major economic depression of the 1930's bedbug growth charts are up, up, and away unlike most 401K's.<br /><br />If you even remotely suspect that you or a closely connected neighbor has bedbugs, my suggestion is to <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">buy white linen</span>. No, not the perfume, but white bed linen. Get rid of your fancy patterns and dark colors, just use white or off white bed sheets. <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"> Inspect them DAILY.</span><br /><br />Bedbugs may not feed every night... but if you've been bitten, and then you see brown or reddish stains on the linen, that is not from a mosquito bite. Mosquitoes bite you and fly away. You have the start of a bedbug infestation. Call us, <span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">Connex Environmental</span>, immediately. Do NOT try to do it yourself. This is one job that is best left to the pros, and we, at <span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">Connex Environmental</span>, are those pros.<br /><br />We answered the call, when other exterminators had no clue and were caught off guard by this scourge. <span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">Connex Environmental</span> ran into buildings that were on fire with infestations when others were turning away bedbug customers for lack of fighting knowledge. In fact, don't be fooled by fancy gimmicks of bedbug sniffing dogs or freezing bedbugs. Dogs are sweet, trainable, obedient animals. But they can be trained to sit and you have no idea if that "sit" means you really have bedbugs or not, unless the human handler confirms the presence of bed bug with his own eyeballs.<br /><br />And on some other city blogs it's been said that the handler takes the dog's sit for gospel and just begins treatment. You don't need a canine unit to know if you have bedbugs unless you feel like paying extra for the dog's prime rib dinner. Just a trained licensed human being. After all, when it's all paid and done, the dog won't do the extermination job, the person will. So, why pay for both? And the human gets is happy with a dirty water frank for dinner.<br /><br />The ONLY place it would make ANY sense to use a bedbug canine unit would be in a hotel lobby or hospital where there's been a problem. Because of the high traffic of people coming and going daily, these places are in the path of the bedbug super highway. And if done wisely and discreetly, none of the guests would ever figure out that the cute little beagle was anything more than a mascot.<br /><br />After you get your white bed linen, I strongly suggest you also contact us about a specially designed mattress protectors. These not only protect you and your family after a bug treatment. But these soft covers are also good for people, kids especially, with allergies.<br /><br />Go here for more info:<br /><a href="http://www.nypestpro.com/safemattress.html">http://www.nypestpro.com/safemattress.html</a>bedbugkillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11008595808129194574noreply@blogger.com0
