Thoughts of pest problems probably bring up feelings of dread, annoyance or even disgust. However, it’s highly unlikely that you feel afraid.

There’s a kid’s 3-D movie ride at Walt Disney World based on the hit Disney movie “A Bug’s Life,” and it features a walking, talking, acid-spitting termite named the Termite-ator. This is obviously a poorly worded pun based on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s famous “Terminator” character, but I don’t think it’s a bad comparison. In many ways, termites are exactly […]

Here’s an amusing true story: I once woke up covered in red marks and immediately believed my bed had been infested with bed bugs.

For starters, termites are relentless: they will eat all the wood they can get their mouths on, without ever needing to stop for sleep or rest. They’ll essentially be chewing up your lumber 24/7. And then, when it comes time […]

Bed bugs are super sneaky pests that have the ability to hide in just about any crack or craves because of their body shape and size. In the past couple of years, there has been an outbreak of bed bugs in the city of Bakersfield. This outbreak is occurring as more and more residents are […]

Summer time is when everyone comes out to play, especially the bugs. This is true, both humans and the bugs react to the weather during the summer months. But us humans embrace the warm weather and long days, whereas bugs are in search for food, water, and shelter because of the heat and lack of […]

Restaurants hold a very high standard of cleanliness; they have to because of the strict regulations by the government over food safety. Not only are there strict regulations but restaurants also have to stay clean and pest free to ensure that customers receive the best experience possible. One sighting of an ant or cockroach and […]

I don’t want you to get the wrong idea from the words up above – we’re not talking about pest problems making you sick as in feeling grossed out and uncomfortable (i.e. “You make me sick!”).
