Blue Star Pest Control

Residential Pest Control
Commercial Pest Control
All commercial businesses should have a pest control program in place. From small offices to food establishments to food handling facilities. As business operators it is your responsibility to care for the welfare of your employees as well as your customers. Pests never stop testing your defenses, but a well-planned and consistently executed control program can keep these nuisances from developing into serious problems.

Insects and Spiders

Ants
The name for this ant possibly arises from the mistaken tradition that it was one of the plagues of ancient Egypt. However, it is distributed worldwide and is one of the more common and most difficult household ants because it has the ability to survive most conventional treatments and establish colonies throughout a building. More than just the food it consumes or spoils, this ant is considered a serious pest simply due to its ability for "getting into things." The pharaoh ant has become a serious nuisance in hospitals, rest homes, apartment dwellings, hotels, grocery stores, and food establishments. Pharaoh ants are also capable of mechanically transmitting diseases and contaminating sterile materials. Some argue that the Staphylococcus and Psuedomonas infections, occurring from time to time in hospitals, are associated with these ants.
Spiders
All spiders are predators. They feed on a wide variety of insects and other soft-bodied invertebrate animals. Spiders attack and subdue their prey by biting with their fangs to inject a poison. All spiders spin silk, but the silk is used in a wide variety of ways. Most spiders construct a silken case to protect their eggs, but not all spiders make a web. A few use silk threads much like a parachute to aid in dispersal on wind currents.
Termites
We utilize Satellite Technology software to Quote the price of Termite Protection for most homes without having to do an on-site inspection. Please complete the Termite Treatment Quote Request Form on this page to receive your exact quote via email within hours. Our online quotes are ALL inclusive, which means that all interior and exterior treatment techniques required to stop termites are included in our price quote
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are fairly cosmopolitan. Cimex lectularius is most frequently found in the northern temperate climates of North America, Europe, and Central Asia, although it occurs sporadically in southern temperate regions. The tropical bed bug, C. hemipterus, is adapted for semitropical to tropical climates and is widespread in the warmer areas of Africa, Asia, and the tropics of North America and South America. In the United States, C. hemipterus occurs in Florida.
Fleas
Fleas are small (1/16 to 1/8-inch), agile, usually dark colored, wingless insects with tube-like mouth parts adapted to feeding on the blood of their hosts. Their bodies are laterally compressed which permits easy movement through the hairs or feathers of the host's body. Their legs are long and the hind legs are well adapted for jumping 200 times their own body length, making the flea the best jumper of all animals for its small size! The flea body is hard, polished, and covered with many hairs and short spines directed backward which also allows for smooth passage through host hair. Its tough body is able to withstand great pressure, therefore it can survive scratching and even hard squeezing between the fingers is normally insufficient to kill a flea.
Cockroaches
German cockroaches are the most common roaches found in homes, apartments, restaurants, supermarkets, hospitals, and other buildings where food is stored, prepared, or served. They eat food of all kinds and may hitchhike into the home on egg cartons, soft drink cartons, sacks of potatoes or onions, used furniture, beer cases, etc. These roaches will move from building to building during the warm summer months and can develop into large populations living throughout the home, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Roaches can foul food, damage wallpaper and books, eat glue from furniture, and produce an unpleasant odor. Some homeowners are allergic to roaches, and the pests can contaminate food with certain bacterial diseases that result in food poisoning, dysentery, or diarrhea. They have even been known to n cause childhood asthma.
Silverfish
Bees
. It is a legal document required by most lenders before closing the sale or refinance of a property. It is a visual inspection of the property to identify any wood destroying insects present at the time of inspection. Such insects include wood destroying beetles, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, dry wood termites in addition to the native subterranean and formosan termites commonly found in the south. This report is NOT a structural report.
Wasps
Ticks
These fire ants are omnivorous but they have been know the eat meat, greasy, and sweet materials. It has also been observed that fire ants removed the rubber insulation from telephone wires. They also feed on invertebrates, oily, sugary foods and sterile eggs, ticks, boll weevils, sugar cane borer, corn ear worms, lacewings, and corn crops.
Crickets
Earwigs
Mosquitoes
Chikungunya is not found in Louisiana but is common in other parts of the world including the Caribbean, South America, Central America, and the Pacific Islands. Travelers should protect themselves from mosquitoes while traveling and after returning home in order to prevent transmitting Chikungunya to local mosquitoes. For more information about Chikungunya review at this fact sheet
Flies
Domestic flies, often called "Filth Flies," are not only a nuisance by their presence, but are important from a human and animal health standpoint. House flies may spread diseases such as conjunctivitis, poliomyelitis, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, anthrax, leprosy, cholera, diarrhea and dysentery. They may serve as intermediate hosts for parasitic tapeworms on poultry or parasitic roundworms on horses. Certain larvae of blow flies, bottle flies, screwworm flies and flesh flies may feed on dead as well as living tissue of mammals, causing blood poisoning and even death, especially in sheep. Stable flies bite painfully, sucking blood from humans and animals. False stable flies do not bite, but spread certain diseases, whereas the little house fly hovers in mid air in the middle of rooms.
Centipedes
Millipedes
Beetles
Subterranean termites live in the ground, not wood because they need moisture to survive. Any termites trapped in the wood would not survive because they would lack moisture and they could not reproduce without the queen. However, ants and beetles are capable of coming in with the wood and spread within the home.
Moths
The Asian cockroach is a strong flier, and is both a feral (wild) and peridomestic species. Adults take flight even during the day if disturbed and are readily seen in an infested lawn, because their flight is similar to that of moths and leafhoppers. At dusk there is a frenzy of activity; adults are very active in the grass and mulch climbing to the tips of grass and leaves to take flight. They are attracted to light-colored surfaces or brightly lit surfaces, where they alight. Numerous adults have been seen at all heights on single- and two-story homes. These cockroaches will invade any opening in a house, such as a lighted doorway or window. Once inside, they will crawl on an illuminated television screen and on walls while the lights are on during the evening. Because the peak activity period of Asian roaches coincides with our leisure time, the presence of the cockroach is obvious.
Pantry Pests
Mites
Sanitation measures include frequently vacuuming the mattress and premises, laundering bedding and clothing in hot water, and cleaning and sanitizing dwellings. After vacuuming, immediately place the vacuum cleaner bag in a plastic bag, seal tightly, and discard in a container outdoors-this prevents captured bed bugs from escaping into the home. A stiff brush can be used to scrub the mattress seams to dislodge bed bugs and eggs. Discarding the mattress is another option, although a new mattress can quickly become infested if bed bugs are still on the premises. Steam cleaning of mattresses generally is not recommended because it is difficult to get rid of excess moisture, which can lead to problems with mold, mildew, house dust mites, etc.
Aphids
As mentioned, odorous house ants regularly forage for food along well-traveled trails. They feed on dead insects, sweets and meats. One of their favorite foods is the sweet honeydew produced by plant sap feeding insects such as aphids and mealybugs.
Slugs
Sow Bugs

Bats
When a swarm occurs, winged termite swarmers called alates emerge in large numbers from cracks in buildings or holes in the soil through swarm tubes made by worker termites. Only a small percentage survive to form new colonies. Many are eaten by predators like birds, bats, and other insects. Or they die from natural causes and environmental conditions before they can locate a mate and nest site. Researchers generally agree that it takes years before a newly established colony will produce termite swarmers. With favorable conditions, it may take 4 years before a colony produces swarmers; with less favorable conditions, it will take longer. Other factors that trigger a swarm: A side from natural swarm cycles, other environmental conditions can trigger a termite swarm. A swarm can be triggered by a diminishing food supply, lack of water to support a colony and, in some cases, application of regular pesticides. Synthetic pyrethroid-type termiticides work by repelling termites from a structure and can cut off termite movement from a structure to required moisture sources in the soil. Under these circumstances, the termites–whether located in the soil or within the structure–would be stressed from either a lack of food or water and swarming may be the response to ensure survival.
Raccoons
Snakes
In addition, Argentine ants are a serious threat to the ecosystem. They may eat nestling birds. They out compete native insects for food and habitat and consume or displace natural predators such as lizards, snakes, and spiders.
Wildlife

Birds

Rodents
Our society eats out at restaurants now more than ever before. Customers rely on the integrity of restaurant owners along with the Heath Department of the communities to insure that the food they consume is safe. Whether you're dealing with flying insects, crawling insects, or rodents, a single pest that is seen, heard, or smelled within your restaurant can be a deal breaker for many customers. Pest invasions will impact your business negativity and could lead to patron illness and create problems that extend well beyond the perception of your brand.
Mice
Rats
Adults resemble house flies except for the slender, pointed, sharp beak used to pierce skin and suck blood. Bites are painful. These flies may transmit anthrax and possibly infantile paralysis, leprosy, surra and swamp fever. Normally an outdoor fly, it attacks any warmblooded animal from rats to humans. Females lay four to five batches of eggs, each containing 100 to 150 eggs, in rotting straw; stable manure; moist, spilled feed; piles of lawn clippings; and piles of dead weeds washed along streams. The life cycle is about three weeks; both males and females suck blood.
Squirrels
Keep bird feeders away from the house and utilize squirrel guards to limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents.
