Carpenter Ant Infestation

Delta is a large sand pile that ants love, especially carpenter ants. These ants prefer to invade wet and rotting wood that has been softened by fungus and are often associated with moisture problems. When you have carpenter ants the only external sign of an infestation other than the presence of workers (all female like a sisterhood) is the appearance of small perfectly round holes on the surface of wood. Through these exit holes, the ants eject wood frass, which consists of sawdust and parts of dead sisters. The build-up of this frass below the holes is a excellent indication of an active carpenter ant infestation.

Squirrels Vs. Rats – Their Diseases and Who’s Worst

Some people call squirrels – big eyed rats with fussy tails, others call rats – baby squirrels that haunt the night. I say they are rodents that transmit diseases. Both rodents can carry the plague – yes the one from the medieval ages, the deadliest infectious disease. Squirrels are also know to transmit tularemia ( very high fatality rate), typhus and ringworm through bites or other forms of direct contact, like feces. Then there are rats, these little night devils can carry even more diseases including hantavirus, leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, and salmonella. So you ask which one of these vermin is worst when it comes down to transmitting diseases, well on a scale of 10, rats are 9/10 and squirrels are 8/10 (mostly because the high fatality rate of tularemia).

Effective Pest Control – In a Couple Easy Steps

In Delta, year around pest issues are common because of our mild winters, insects like: sugar ants, silverfish, cockroaches, flies, spiders and bed bugs just don’t go dormant.  Pest control specialists don’t just resolve current pest problems, they can also foil future problems with a treatment program. First, maintain an outdoor barricade. You should maintain a 10 meter barrier to keep outside pests from getting close to your home, this may included cutting back shrubs and trees form the house and spraying the perimeter of your house. And finally, treating the interior only if you have an obvious insect infestation. This involves the application of a insecticide along the floorboards of your home.
