A new Children’s Bug Book to hit the streets soon!

The National Pest Management Association and Susan from 5 minutes for Mom have teamed up to write a Children’s Book on Bugs and ProBest Pest Management is eagerly awaiting its debut. The books title is “Millie, Pest Detective Extraordinaire”.

Here’s a little peek from the Graphic Artist Collen Madden

Liberty Wildlife Rehab Center Update

Liberty Wildlife envisions a time when wildlife is recognized as an integral part of our natural world, and a precious natural resource, to be protected and preserved.

Liberty Wildlife envisions being a permanent community resource, a place to instill compassion and stewardship in young minds and a place to reconnect the public with the beauty and benefits of native wildlife and habitat.

Volunteer

At Liberty Wildlife volunteers are always needed, and a variety of volunteer opportunities are available. Time commitments vary, but usually involve three to four hours once a week. Training and support are provided. People who love wildlife and care about the environment find it a thrilling experience to work around these magnificent wild animals.

While Liberty Wildlife accepts mammals and reptiles, most of the work is avian rehabilitation. This includes birds of prey, water fowl, and songbirds native to Arizona.

People interested in volunteering must be 18 years of age or older. You must have reliable transportation and be able to commit to being on time for assignments. The feeding and cleaning, medical services, education, and facility maintenance positions are physically demanding.

ProBest has donated our services over the past year because it is just the right thing to do and we can help. Without proper pest protocols pest populations such as rodents and cockroaches can build up and possibly take over. So if you can help I think they would appreciate whatever you can do.

Do you understand Customer Service?

 

Everyday I encounter people and everyday I understand the importance of customer service, why you ask? Because today I might just meet that one person who will buy from me. Everybody who works at ProBest Pest Management and our Contract U.S. Post Office understands this and that is why from the moment they walk in our door we are as friendly as possible. The absolute main reason is who would want to do business with a Grouch or Grinch? I have walked out of places where I felt the person was having a very bad day and I didn’t want to be a part of this.

Now I truly understand that you can’t make everybody happy all the time and maybe they are having a bad day for a good reason. But we all can help to brighten their day. ProBest is very fortunate to have the BEST employees and that is very obvious when you read the ratings and reviews we get. Check out the reviews below and add some if you would like.

Have you seen these? Termite tunnels or tubes.

So you’re walking around your home and you look down and see this thing made out of mud or dirt, what is it? These are subterranean mud shelter tubes or tunnels. It’s the super highway for termites, it protects them from air, sunlight and predators. Here is Arizona we have another termite (Gnathamitermes) and this subterranean termite often plasters fences, tree trucks and cactus.

     

Flying insects abound with rain and great weather…

So yesterday we had a rash of calls concerning little tiny crawling and flying bugs. These above came from Scorpion Techs and they were curious what they were, after a little book research I think we have Chinch bugs. The other ones earlier in the day almost look like a Pirate Bug which sucks  juice from plants such as Aphids do. Nothing a little general pest service can’t take care of. Since they are extremely tiny they can get into your homes by way of windows and doors and the really annoying thing is that they might get into your nose or mouth, yuuuuuck…

With the rains and great weather comes the bugs, so keep your mouth shut (so they don’t fly in) and call your friendly Pest Management Professional (which I hope is ProBest Pest Management).
