Pest Control by ProBest Pest Management

Bugs tremble at the sound of my name “Dr. Bug” ProBest Pest Management

I’m not kidding, I live in Phoenix and have only seen four bugs in my house in the last 10 years. Two American Cockroaches, one in master bathroom shower and one downstairs. One beetle (no idea what kind) but it was trying to hide in an electrical outlet cover and some black ants. Not bad but just the mere presence scares these bugs enough, that they know not to mess with the “James Bond” of pest control. A customer just last week called to complain of bugs and by the time I walked in they were all dead. Hahaha – maybe it’s my new thing, no pest control just (IPM) Integrated Pest Management without any pesticides. Just me wishing the bugs DEAD.

Just another reason to call ProBest Pest Management 602-249-7378, I know what you are thinking why call when I should call you – I’m not Physic…. Just really good at my job!

Bugs and Spiders do travel…

Green tires go black By: Bob Bissler

Stories like this above fascinate me and always get me to think about the way that bugs might hitch a ride. Way back in 2011 I wrote a home seal “The Beast escapes….“, where I mentioned the Brazilian Wandering Spider ending up in Germany on bananas. We are a traveling nation, we can pick up today and move without any concern to location. We can store all of our stuff in facilities and we never know what we might be bringing with us.

Border agents work with this premise everyday and every state cutting budgets over the years “Budget cuts affecting everyone” – is it possible to stop the pests? I guess time will tell, so be aware when placing hands into places where you can’t see.

I think I need this – it’s like a Bat signal.

I think I need this – it’s like a Bat signal.

The Bat-Signal is a distress signal device appearing in the various interpretations of the Batman series. Just like Batman has his Bat signal, I think I should have a Bug signal. This could or would alert me to respond maybe when my phone rings.

This last week the Batmobile sold for $4.6 million to somebody who lives right here in the Valley, by the way if the owner reads this we (ProBest) would be happy to assist in pest control for your residence. Got to keep that great machine free of anything nasty.

I do know one thing for sure, I couldn’t afford the car but maybe I could afford the light ($9.95) but out of stock I noticed. So until I get a Bug – Signal you still have to call us. 602-249-7378 or 623-414-0176

This is only a short little snippet of the Bed Bug infestation, there was also an issue with German cockroaches. We had to resort to a heat treatment because of all the stuff within the house and as soon as the heat was kicked on – the Bed Bugs began to run.

ProBest Pest Management Top 10 Tips to keep those bugs out!

Seal up those cracks, holes and any entry points where those critters can get in.
Reduce harborage areas where those bugs hang out.
Keep trees, shrubs and vines off the house.
Check your home monthly for any signs of trouble.
Never and I mean never stack firewood against the house.
Check and repair window screens.
Store food in seal-able containers and I usually freeze it first then store.
Avoid taking in boxes and storing them in pantry – see #7 above.
Don’t forget to check out buildings, honeybees and termites can show up and do significant damage if not caught immediately.
Follow your local Pest Management Professional on FaceBook, Twitter or their home seal to stay current with local issues.

Boy this is a scary photo, always take care when placing your hand anywhere!

You go shopping and pick up a roll or two of toilet apper and you take it home and put it on the spindel. Never in your wildest imagination do you think there is something lurking in the dark. I’m even freaked out by this photo! Pest Control is often done at facilites that make products but along the way hitchhikers can and do get onto pallets. Its essential that we all take the time to be observant.

Take care and call ProBest Pest Management if you want us to take care of the bugs and spiders in your life….
