Spring is Just Around the Corner--And So Are Bugs!


It's been a long, hard, cold winter. Looks like global warming took a break and headed to Cancun for the season. Across the country, states have reported temperatures and snowy conditions that have not been seen in quite a few years. And to pour coal on the fire, or should I say ice into the fridge, Pauxatawney Phil saw his darn shadow. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that meant six weeks more of winter. Measured from February 2nd, that means we have about 2 or 3 weeks until spring. And guess what happens then? Bugs large and small begin to emerge and mate. Everything from fire ants to carpenter bees to American cockroaches dance jigs in celebration of spring's arrival. You don't have to be deluged by these creatures. There are a number of professional pest control products available to counteract the insect onslaught. For fire ants: Advion Fire Ant Bait; Extinguish Plus; Top Choice Ant Bait, and Advance 375A Granular Ant Bait are very effective products. For carpenter bees, Demon WP; Cyonara 9.7; EcoEXEMPT D; EcoEXEMPT IC-2 and Onslaught are superior control products. Cockroaches can be controlled with Advion Cockroach Bait Arena; Advion Gel Bait, or Advance Gel Bait. All of these products are available at http://www.youdoitpestcontrol.com/ at a fraction of the cost of a professional pest control service.
Don't let bugs ruin your spring! Get them before they get you!
