I’m not a big fan of the term “commercial pest control services” for a couple of reasons. First, it’s too long – doesn’t really roll off the tongue. Second, it’s too wide-ranging. What’s included in commercial pest control services? Well, that depends on the client and their needs. It may not be the same for […]

Pest problems regularly go unnoticed for weeks or even months – we see it all the time. Sure, it might be hard to ignore an ant problem, especially when they converge on any abandoned Skittle left on the kitchen floor. But what about a termite problem; are you aware of the warning signs? Did you […]

Forgive me, but seeing the headline above almost made me chuckle. Shutting down a hotel because of ONE case of bed bugs? What a world that would be.

Regular visitors to our blog are intimately familiar with fumigation, the extermination weapon of choice for termites (and occasionally bed bugs).

We choose the words in our blog headlines carefully, and using the term “control” was a deliberate choice today. Why? Because termites can never truly be eradicated.

Folks, I think I deserve a raise. Because merely thinking about the headline today makes my skin crawl. Why do I have to write about this? Can’t we force someone else to do it? And look, I’m not alone in feeling creeped out. Do you think NBA superstars are tough? I mean, they’re multimillionaire athletes; they must be, […]

Here’s a pretty common scenario: you wander into the kitchen late one night for a glass of water. You flip the light switch, and what’s sitting on your kitchen counter? A dirty cockroach. Of course, now that the light is on that roach will scurry away, back into hiding. But now you know there’s at […]
