What’s Bugging You in July?

Fleas and ticks are a huge pain that can be spread very easily, especially if you have pets. Both fleas and ticks can spread harmful diseases and need to be dealt with carefully. It is very difficult to get rid of fleas once they have invested in your home. If an infestation occurs, you will need to treat all of your pets with flea prevention medication, wash and vacuum your entire house, and you may need to release a flea bomb depending on how badly the fleas have infested. Ticks can spread diseases like Lyme disease and Tick Fever, and if you find a tick on you or another person, it needs to be removed very carefully. Pest control professionals will be able to make sure that all fleas and ticks have been removed from your home and will help prevent future infestations from occurring.

Mosquitoes like to hang out in cooler, damp places during the heat of the day.  This is why mosquitoes tend to be hanging out near the bottom of tall shrubs, grass, and vegetation. Mosquitoes feast on plant nectar when they aren’t pillaging for blood, so they are often found in the heavy vegetation near your home. Be sure to trim back your shrubs, and keep your lawn regularly mowed to prevent these pests from having a place to hang out around your home.

 

 

Get rid of any areas where debris collects in the yard, such as grass clippings and piles of leaves. Remove twigs, leaves, and branches that have piled up in the corner of your yard or against the fence. Debris needs to be removed so that it does not become a point source for mosquito breeding.

 

 

These creatures can be dangerous and poisonous and need to be dealt with immediately. While the majority of species of snakes in Georgia are non-venomous snakes and the majority of species of scorpions are not harmful to humans, these creatures can still be an issue. Our pest control professionals can make sure that these creatures are dealt with in the most humane way possible so that you won’t have to worry about future problems.
