DIY vs Professional Pest Control in Cache Valley, UT
Do It Yourself Pest Control Will require a significant investment of your time, effort and expense to resolve your pest issue. Specialized treatments like for termites, carpenter ants, moderate to severe rodent infestations and wasps carry inherent risks and challenges not easily accomplished by a novice. You’re using chemicals. Reading the label is a good start, but you must also take into consideration where you’re applying, how much and whether or not appropriate safeguards have been put in place to protect yourself, your family and your pets. Remember, safety first. Know your target pest, a bit of it’s biology and how best to treat for control. If you miss this crucial step, your pest problem could worsen. The internet, while overloaded with information, is still your best bet for sourcing helpful information. Consider your tolerance for pests. If it’s high, you’re likely a good DIY candidate (depending on the pest).

Why Do Mice Invade Homes During the Fall?
Fall is a beautiful time of year. The color changing leaves, cozy sweaters, cooler weather, fun and festive holidays and pumpkin spice everything—what is not to love about this fall season? But did you know, fall is also the time of year when your home is the most vulnerable? Of course, no one wants to think about that, but you really need to for the safety of your family and the home that is your greatest investment. An infestation of rodents is one of the most destructive, devastating, dangerous and financially disastrous things that can happen to your home. The amount of damage a rodent infestation can wreck on a home is substantial and it can happen in a short time right under your nose. Rodents reproduce incredibly fast. A female can give birth to 5 litters a year with each litter having 5-14 offspring. On average, that means that
Help! Boxelder Bugs Moved Inside During the Winter!
Boxelder bugs are the black and red beetles you usually see sunning themselves on surfaces during the fall. They look like black beetles with red stripes or you might see a variety that is a red beetle with black on its abdomen. Boxelder bugs have a lifespan of about 1 year, yet these insects are quite fragile when it comes to the cold, just like most insects are. To preserve their lives, they move to the warmest locations they can find and often this is your home. They congregate together in large numbers on the exterior of buildings, rocks and trees, soaking up as much of the warmth from the sun as they can. As it grows colder, they move into cracks and crevices, piling in together for warmth. They know to preserve their lives and live out that little 1 year lifespan to the fullest, it is imperative that

Spiders are among the more despised creatures on planet. Other feared animals include bears, snakes, sharks and lions but the difference between all these animals and the spider is that while they are all the things of nightmares, the spider is the only one that can end up in your bed with you when you wake up.
