While we’ve discovered some means of dealing with the mosquitoes, very few people are prepared with how to handle ticks, or even know where ticks might be lingering. Tap Out Pest Control has had years of experience working with different types of insects, rodents and animals, and we are going to give you a few informative bits of information so that you can have a better idea of how to handle ticks.

You may be thinking this is useless information, seeing as how winter is just around the corner and all bugs die in the winter. Well, unfortunately, the most common type of tick stays active through the winter. While most ticks do go on a feeding diapause when temperature drops, ticks that are burrowed on adult deer will only begin their activity as the first year’s frost forms. When living in residential areas, deer ticks are more likely to find their way to your yard.

This point brings us to our next informative bit on ticks; ticks don’t land on you like mosquitoes or jump...

STEP 1: IDENTIFYING THE INFESTATION

When you’ve recognized that there’s a bed bug infestation in your home, inspect the area, and the areas surrounding to determine how bad the infestation is. If you’re unsure how bad the infestation is, having a professional inspect the area is always an option.

STEP 2: SECURE THE INFESTED AREA

Any items that you won’t be able to treat should be left sealed until you can be certain that any bed bugs are dead.Remember, bed bugs have the ability to crawl within...

While we understand that it’s cold out there, we’re usually not very welcoming to the infestations of bugs or the racoons that make homes in our attics. Tap Out Pest Control is fully aware that the last thing you want to deal with this holiday season is an infestation when you’ve got company over. We’ve gathered a few of the signs that you need to keep an eye out for once the snowfall starts, that will help you reduce the chances of any pest control problems this winter!

Avoiding infestations and pest control problems starts with making sure that you’ve maintained any possible entry ways into our home. This can go as far as not maintaining the leaves in your lawn. Other places that animals can find warmth can include holes that lead to your attic, basement or garage. For that reason, make sure that you close off any openings to your attic, garage, sheds or trash cans to make sure that they don’t see them as potential entrance ways.

Tap Out Pest Control provides extermination for bed bugs and termites that take over your home. These tiny bugs are far mighty and require heavy duty pest control in order to ensure that they’re completely removed from your home. These types of procedures require hot temperatures, certain types of treatments and hours worth of time to take care of, so it only makes sense that when we perform these exterminations, our customers ask whether or not any other pests will be killed during the process.

The way that exterminators go about this process requires quite a bit of knowledge and calculations. Each type of pest requires a certain dosage in order to take care of the particular pest that the extermination was intended for. If you are concerned about other pests in your home like ants or spiders, these types of pests can be killed so long as the right actions are made.

When you schedule an exterminator to come and and perform this procedure for bed bugs or termites that have infested your home, ask our professionals if they can take care of other infestations within...

It’s hard to forget about the effect that West Nile Virus had on the United States. The virus that spread across America by mosquito bites in 1999 left our nation in fear of mosquito bites and symptoms that could follow. A little under ten years and we’re facing a situation that is very similar. The Zika virus is gaining attention from headlines across the world, and it’s with good intentions that we hope to provide you with the information that you need to keep your family safe as temperatures rise.

While similar to West Nile Virus, the Zika virus differs in quite a few ways. However, the main way that they do relate is how they are spread. This new virus is being spread through the bites of mosquitoes, but not the smaller ones that we’re accustomed to. Found in warm, dry areas, the mosquitoes carrying the virus are quite large in size. Because of the specificity to type of mosquito, we see more cases in areas that actually house these mosquitoes, but cases have been found in the U.S. in people that have traveled to these locations.

Currently, the Zika virus is...

Bed bugs and ticks have been around for ages, but the pest that we are likely introduced to first is the mosquito. This is probably because they’re far more common in every state and every type of environment, unlike ticks that are found in brushy areas or bed bugs that must be transferred. For this reason, mosquitoes gain a reputation that is a little less threatening than other insects that we come across, and for that reason isn’t usually grouped in the insects that can be taken care of by a pest control company. Quite the contrary is true. Here are a few facts about mosquitoes that very few people know.

While spiders and ants aren’t exactly the ideal house guest, there are plenty of other pests that make way into our home that are far worse.

Here are a few reasons that these rodents may have found your home so appealing in the first place.

One of the best parts of summer is that we are finally able to take the time we deserve, and head out on some vacations.

These glorious vacation days are finished off by sleeping in a crisp and cozy hotel room. While these rooms boast of beautiful decor, sheets bleached to perfection and a view to die for, they can often go the extra mile and send you home with new friends: bed bugs.
