Property owners become alarmed when they see carpenter ants often dark in color and ¼ to ¾ of an inch long fearing a major problem. A trained Globe Pest technician knows where and how to locate and eradicate nests which will eliminate the problem. It is important to note that moisture, wooded areas, and general climate conditions found the in the mid-west and northeast are ideal for carpenter ants. Eliminating a current problem does not mean carpenter ants will not reoccur at a later date.
Termites
Termites are extremely destructive, and are estimated to cause 2 billion dollars in property damage each year. Termites will tunnel their way toward wooden structures, into which they burrow to obtain their food. Termites have an insatiable appetite for wood and other cellulose-containing materials, and given enough time can jeopardize the structural integrity of your home or structure.
Fleas
Many animals can distribute fleas, ticks and other organisms where they may act as a host, which potentially spread diseases, into homes and places of business. There is potential to spread diseases, including salmonella (food poisoning), plague, LCM and others.
Cockroaches
Insects such as cockroaches and ants often cannot be eliminated quickly due to population size, biological characteristics and instinctive behavior for self-preservation. IPM methods may or may not eliminate pests quickly, depending on the severity of the infestation; however, IPM can yield more enduring results in the long run than non-targeted, copious pesticide applications. Using repellent residual insecticides will give a false impression that the pest problem is being solved. Often insect survivors escape the treatment zone and remain concealed until pesticide residues break down or they invade new areas of the structure.
Bees
You should be on the lookout for increased bee and wasp sightings in areas around your home. While this does not guarantee that there is a nest in your home it does raise the likelihood of a near by bees nest. If you or anyone in your family is allergic to bee stings take increased steps to avoid the area until a Globe Pest management specialist is able to take care of the problem.
Wasps
Bees and wasps are a nuisance and a health threat to many individuals. These pests are notorious for building nests on and within structures that provide ideal nesting areas. They can be inside walls, under siding, and can enter through openings or cracks that appear in the exterior of your home. Bees may also find a home in the ground outside in your garden or in your lawn, and may be easily disturbed by your regular activity in the area
