In the quiet depths of a home, beneath the hum of everyday life, lurks a fear that can send shivers down the spines of even the most stoic homeowners— roaches. These elusive creatures, masters of nocturnal mischief, invoke an unparalleled sense of unease, triggering an instinctive aversion that transforms a serene abode into a battleground of survival. With an uncanny knack for surprise appearances and a talent for thriving in
Christmas, as celebrated today, has deep historical roots that intertwine religious, cultural, and pagan traditions. The earliest celebrations of what we now recognize as Christmas are believed to have originated in the Roman Empire. The Roman festival of Saturnalia, held in mid-December, was a significant precursor to Christmas. Saturnalia was a time of feasting, gift-giving, and revelry in honor of Saturn, the god of agriculture. This festival, marked by a
Drywood termites are a significant pest in Florida, posing a threat to the structural integrity of homes and buildings across the state. Unlike subterranean termites, which require moist environments to thrive, dry wood termites can infest drywood structures, making them particularly challenging to detect and control. This essay explores the behavior, signs of infestation, and swarming behavior of dry wood termites in Florida homes. Drywood Termite Behavior: Drywood termites are
Florida Wildlife Our state has many kinds of wildlife sharing our living space. Some species can be harmful to our homes and businesses. Raccoons and squirrels can get into attics and crawl spaces, causing costly damage. Insects like bed bugs can invade our beds and inflict a great deal of misery. Incursions from Florida’s wildlife are inevitable. Removing these pests from your home or business is rarely in anyone’s budget.
Imagine being able to jump 100 feet in the air with ease. Climb up a wall, and walk upside down on the ceiling without gravity pulling you down on your head. Imagine hearing a whisper from 50 feet across the room. These abilities seem ridiculous for a human to do, but for insects, they can do just these things and more. They defy gravity. They can hang upside down and
Flying insects in Florida can be quite a nuisance when they get inside our homes. We swat and we swing, missing every time. Effortlessly zipping across the room, we curse their existence. There are many bugs that fly and their evolution has been studied for years. How do invertebrates defy gravity and lift themselves into the air? Many of us have dreamed about flying at some point in our lives.
When spiders are often seen , they induce sudden panic and fear. This picture is the common “wolf” spider. (Often incorrectly called huntsman or jumping spiders.) Considered high risk with a painful bite, these spiders however do not inject enough venom to kill a human. These spiders do not spin webs and wait for prey to get stuck. They go out and hunt for food. They primarily consume cockroaches,
As we prepare for 2021 and say goodbye to 2020, we are reminded of how much of our lives were changed last year. We rang in the New Year eagerly, as we usually do, with massive crowds in Times Square. Men and women of all ages, freezing in the New York winter weather, waited in excited anticipation for the ball to drop. Most people can recall a special memory from
Having your house inspected for termites is an important step every homeowner should take to protect their home. Preventing termites before they invade is much easier and less costly than waiting until there’s a major termite problem and you must call for immediate help. A termite inspection is required when taking out a home loan. Lenders require documented proof that your house was inspected and free from termites and
Most people pay little attention to the ground beneath their feet. Why should they, it’s beneath them, right? The reality is our entire lives are built upon the ground. In the pest control industry, we have to know all about the foundations of our homes and businesses. To keep pests out, we must know how they get in. The better we understand how our homes and businesses are constructed, the
