“An ecological approach to pest management that effectively manages pests in a way that minimizes adverse effects on people and the environment. IPM (integrated pest management) emphasizes an understanding of pest biology and behavior, and employs a number of different strategies designed to reduce the things pests need to survive and reproduce, including food, water, living space, and a way into the building.”

Another product Verifi by FMC uses similar aggravation pheromones, so we will have to check out this new product. This new product is a type of lure which may help to become airborne and make the bedbugs come to it.
BBQ grill not in use and overlooked for many months. As soon as the technician noticed this he brought it to the attention of the homeowner. Can you imagine what would have happened if the homeowner had just removed the cover?
They were Africanized and immediately became agitated and attacked, luckily technician was in his bee suit. Almost every inch of the grill was being utilized by this group of bees. WOW!
The University of Arizona provides a very handy newsletter and this month November is right on target. “Rodents: Get them out of your school, house and yard.”
I’ve had people say well it’s only 1 mouse or rat, but let me tell you one is enough and should be dealt with ASAP if not sooner. Home-sealing is the best method to keep these little pest out of your home.
Light up those Scorpions!
What are some ways to stop those scorpions from getting into your home?
Home – Seal = IPM
Hunt for them at night, reduces population.
Reduce food and harborage areas.
Don’t store things against your home, keep a space which you can get to.
Always check firewood before you bring it into the home.
Use a Pest Management Professional – we know where they live and all their tricks.
In 2005 ProBest earned this coveted mark of excellence, only a year after National Pest Management Association started the program. Current ownership happened in 2005 and we saw the upgrade to almost every part of our strategy to stay above the rest.
We also saw the need to become part of Crimshield in 2008, we background our employee’s each and every year just to be sure there are no surprises.
“BedBugs force Portsmouth dispatchers to relocate” Bedbugs don’t care who you are, they don’t care if you are rich or poor. They don’t care if your a Firefighter or Policeman, so the key is that you are aware of their tenacious abilities at getting into your life.
One of the best things that I recommend are mattress and box spring encasements – such as CleanBrands
What I really like about these encasements is that they save your mattresses from the usual things:
A landscaper lost his life when he was attacked by a honeybee’s. “Swarm of thousands of bees kills man, injures another” Just for the record let me adjust that heading – it wasn’t a swarm of honeybees – it was a colony or hive within the home that was agitated and attacked. Technically the dictionary classifies a swarm as “a large number of animate or inanimate things massed together and usually in motion”. Typcially I consider a swarm a result of the hive dividing and moving on, but hey its just words.
The main portion of this story and the tragic part is the death and injury of the people. I think is is really important to check your property monthly to determine the possibility of infestation of rodents, bees and or termites.
How to conduct that examination of your home?
Billings, Montana
10 year old dies after being bitten by (Brown Recluse Spider), originally thought to be cancer and sent home from emergency room. “10 year-old dies after spider bite”
Now based on only these facts I have a few questions.
My sympathies go out to the family and friends and I hope we get to the bottom of this story.
bedbug spreading
Bedbugs are spreading rapidly and continue their march across the US. I don’t always get creeped out with pests but BedBugs do it for me. I think about accidental infestation, maybe a lone bedbug falls into a pocket or shoe and I bring it home.
Take care traveling, check out the room and if you think you see something contact management. Don’t bring in used furniture without looking it over really well. Check out our webpage https://callprobest.com/bedbugs and the Nation Pest Management Association has a site “All Things Bed Bugs”
