While the stink bug can’t hurt you, they’re considered to be a pest because of what they use for defense, the very unpleasant odor they release when they are startled, disturbed or squashed. The stink bugs produce that smelly chemical in a gland on their abdomen. Some species can actually spray the chemical several inches. They can damage ornamental plants, fruit trees, and gardens.  They do not cause structural damage or spread disease, but they do cause a few issues.  They also fly around rooms and crawl on walls and ceilings in large numbers.

Bedbugs in a home are a nasty nuisance and the best defense is to call a bed bug exterminator to completely eradicate the infestation. Bed bugs can be difficult to detect because they are so small, only 6 mm or less in size. Females are very productive laying over 600 eggs in a lifetime. It only takes a female 3 weeks to mature to adulthood. Bed bugs usually feed at night and if you are laying in a bed infested with bed bugs you’ll be shocked to awaken the next morning with tiny blood spots on the bed covers or your skin. Washing the bed sheets and even the bed itself will not solve the problem – call a bed bug exterminator.

Fireflies are soft-bodied beetles that are also called glow worms, or lightning bugs for their visible use of bioluminescence during twilight to attract mates or prey. This chemically produced cold light can be yellow, green, pale red, or ghost blue. First, air rushes into the abdomen and reacts with the luciferin, that gives off the glow that you see in fireflies. Fireflies can even control the pulsating of the glow by regulating the airflow into their abdomens. Some female fireflies aren’t motivated by mating, and some will imitate the patterns of other species of fireflies to attract males to eat them alive.

A dirty, cluttered house is an invitation to bugs to join your dwelling. Cleanliness plays a major role in enticing or discouraging pest invasions. So here are some suggestions to ensure that pests don’t feel welcome in your home. Wipe down your countertops and other kitchen surfaces with cleaners to remove food particles and smells. Put food into containers and dry goods can be stored in sealed jars and solid plastic containers. Insects are attracted to both leaks and puddles of standing water, so make sure faucets are working properly. Clear all your drain of food and gunge. Make sure to use a garbage can with a locking lid and regularly take your trash out. Seal windows and entryways with proper sealants and sweeps. A little housekeeping will keep the pest away.

So who is responsible for pest control, the tenant, the landlord, or the property management company? The answer is usually or should be found within your rental agreement and the cost of these services are most likely included in the cost of the rental. Some times, a landlord or property manager may pay for the first pest control application with continued treatments being made the responsibility of the tenant. In the end, the description used in the rental agreement decrees who is responsible for the pest control. It is recommended that landlords use Integrated Pest Management techniques for effective and long-term prevention or elimination of pests with a variety of technics such as preventing entry, inspecting, monitoring, and treating pests on an as-needed basis.

Cockroaches are destructive, disease-ridden, messy, stress producing, and really hard to get rid of. You don’t even know you have them until it’s a full blown infestation. They hang around dark and damp areas like under the refrigerator, under the sink, behind the stove, bathroom and kitchen cabinets, closets and shelves. They can live for months without food but only days without water, so finding leaky plumbing is a start. Next, clean the house so it is spotless, top to bottom spotless, including behind all appliances. Homemade or store bought cockroach baits and insecticides are a good start to reducing the infestation but the bottom line is you need a pro to get the job done to completion.
