Preferred Pests Kansas City

Preferred Pest Control is aware of the importance to protect your home from unwanted pests, critters, and other annoyances, in all seasons. Our pest control services are the most comprehensive and thorough available!

Because bed bugs prefer warmer temperatures, summer is a peak season for them. They are also more likely when people travel, making them more vulnerable to these hitchhiking parasites. These pests are very hard to eradicate, so it is important for travelers to inspect their accommodations before they spend the night.

This week, we are focusing on the crab spider. These tiny spiders hide among greenery and flowers, waiting for prey to come their way. Some species can alter their coloration to look very Chameleon-like. This is an excellent adaptation for a spider which hunts mainly on flowers. Their crab-like appearance gives them their common name. Their resemblance to a crab is evident in their large front legs, which are held straight up at their sides. A sideways walk completes this resemblance. They are carnivores like all spiders. They eat a variety of insects including flies, bees, and butterflies. They can overpower larger prey. These spiders are harmless to people and don't have any venom. You might be able to spot a crab spider in the flowers next time you are walking among them.

BOLAS SPIDERS, can be found all across the United States. Missouri is home to four of these species. Each is considered to be a replica of another species. Some look like birds droppings while others resemble snails. I was initially confused by this one. They are classified in the same category as orbweavers but do not spin webs. Instead they release a smell similar to that released by certain moths to attract a new mate. The bolas release a strand made of silk that has a globular of sticky silk at the end. This she uses to grab her prey and make it look like a lasso when the moth approaches. The South American Gauchos have also used the bolas in their fight against the legs of animals to tamper with them. After mating, the male offspring will produce many egg sacs. In the winter, the spiderlings are born. This is where the male offspring are unique. They hatch as adults! They can already mate and there is no need to mature. Females must however complete their growth. These tiny, 1/2-inch females hang out on leaves of bushes, bushes, and other plants looking for anything that looks like poop or snails. But if you're careful, you might be able to spot one of Missouri’s most distinctive spiders.

Rodents Do Not Have to Live in Your Home or Business

Rodents spread disease, and can cause damage to your property. It's time for you to get involved if you see a rodent in your yard, whether it is alive or dead, or if you find droppings or damage to your property or food supply.

Rodent Control

Once the rodent has gained entry to your house through the foundation, they will have access to the plumbing within the walls. These pipes will give them complete access to your apartment and home. They will then use the unsealed pipes around your bathroom fixtures and kitchen to search for food. Anything left out on counters or in pantries runs the risk to be eaten or contaminated. It is important to get rid of them quickly. Preferred Pest Control can help you if you suspect mice or rats are living in your property. Preferred Pest Control is a rodent exterminator with over 50 years' experience.

Knowing how rodents get in to your home or business is the first step towards eliminating them. Our rodent control professionals will inspect your home to find entry points. During the inspection, they will identify which species are causing the issue and where they are nesting.

Treatment

After we have completed our inspection, we can begin treating. We have many treatment options available for any type of rat or mouse problem. Each property and each business are unique so we tailor our treatment plans to achieve the best results. To rid rodents of their nests as quickly as possible, we use a mix of traps and baits.

What are Bed Bugs?

Both homeowners and business owners are concerned about bed bugs. Because of their small size and ability to hide, bed bugs are often overlooked until it is too late to find DIY solutions. It is crucial to quickly kill bed bugs by understanding their habits, hiding places and activity. Because bed bugs multiply quickly, it is essential to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Can I kill bedbugs fast by myself?

You will have a better chance of killing bed bugs fast if you get the problem caught early. To eliminate the stragglers, it's possible to manage them yourself by starting DIY treatments as soon as there are just a few bedbugs. It is difficult to detect a bedbug problem before it becomes serious.

The majority of people we treat for bed bugs have tried every possible organic remedy, over-the-counter products and essential oils online. They have removed or set fires on their furniture. They replaced carpeting and even put the plastic on their brand new replacement mattress. However, they are still unable to rid themselves of them. They may be better for a while but they can't get rid of them. We can help you if you're in this kind of situation.

Do you suspect that there is a bed bug problem in your home?

While there is no sure-fire way to get rid of bed bugs completely, these techniques will help to reduce the likelihood of them infesting your home and make it easier to identify an infestation.

Your home may be home to mice and rats this fall.

This is the season when temperatures drop, so rats and mice are forced indoors to find a warm place to live. They can thrive in a warm environment such as your home, office, or car. If they have plenty of food and water, lots of places to build their nests, and a controlled temperature, they will feel right at ease.

We want to share with you the best methods to keep mice and rats away from your workplace or home. How do you get rid of mice that have already entered your home? For the most frequently asked questions about rodents, please read the following.

How to keep spiders away from your home this fall

Preferred Pest Control reminds homeowners that it is important to keep your home and family safe during the fall season. This time of year spiders come in all sizes and shapes. They are creating webs in the most unlikely places. Spiders are often found around doors and windows, along with your eaves or overhangs, as well as on swings and other outdoor structures. As fall approaches, spiders will begin to migrate indoors, to warm places such as your basement, garage or storage area. When it comes to spiders setting up their winter home, there is no limit.

To prevent spider bites, be sure to use these tips and techniques when working in these spaces.

Work in landscaping and moving storage items requires you to wear gloves.

To prevent moths from gaining entry to your home, turn off outside lights. Gathering insects around lights can be like a spider's all-you-can-eat buffet.

Seal cracks around your foundation to stop spiders or insects getting in.

To prevent spider bites, be sure to use these tips and techniques when working in these spaces.

Vacuum regularly, especially when vacuuming. Most vacuums are powerful enough to kill a spider or destroy any eggs you find.

Put spider-repelling plants around your home's exterior.

Sticky traps may be placed in unattended areas. This will not only stop the spiders from getting away, but will also help you identify which areas of your home are seeing the most activity.

Reduce their food supply. Spiders feed off small insects. Spiders can be eliminated if other insects are removed.

Even though spiders can be disturbing, they aren’t always bad. They also hunt moths and beetles that are common household pests. Spiders are also effective in controlling flies, earswigs, and even cockroaches. Most spiders do not pose a threat to humans and can easily be taken outside in a container. There are two types to be aware of in the area. If they are disturbed, the Brown Recluse or Black Widow spiders can bite. You should be cautious when you go to an area that hasn't been disturbed in a while. If you've got holiday decorations that have been stored away for a while, make sure to keep them safe.

This is an exciting time of the year for spiders. As pest invaders such a stink bugs or asian beetles arrive in the fall, they will present a bounty for spiders. To keep your home and workplace spider-free this autumn, take precautions now. Get additional assistance with spider control and prevention by contacting us today.
