Bed bugs love warmer temperatures so summer is their peak season. This is also when people travel more which makes them more susceptible to hitchhiking pests. They're difficult to eradicate so travelers must ensure they check their lodgings before going to bed.

This week's featured spider is the crab spider. These tiny spiders lurk among the foliage and greenery, hiding from predators. Some species have the ability to change their colors in a Chameleon-like manner. This is an excellent adaptation for a spider which hunts mainly on flowers. Their crab-like appearance gives them their common name. The resemblance is complete by their large front legs that extend to the sides, and sideways walking. Like all spiders, they are carnivores. Their prey includes flies, bees and even butterflies. They can overcome larger prey. These spiders are harmless and do not contain 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 snails, while others look like bird droppings. This one was my first sighting. I mistakenly thought it was a snail. Although they are similar to orb weavers in their classification, they don't spin webs. Instead, they release a pheromone similar to the one that certain moths use to attract their mates. 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 female will produce many eggs sacs. The spiderlings then emerge from the overwinter. This is where the male offspring are unique. They hatch as adults. They are already capable of mating, and no maturing is necessary. Females must however complete their growth. These tiny females, measuring 1/2 inches, hang out on the ends leaves of bushes.

What are bed bugs?

Bed bugs can cause serious problems for both homeowners as well as business owners. They are small and hide well, so it's easy to miss them until they become too big for DIY solutions. It is crucial to quickly kill bed bugs by understanding their habits, hiding places and activity. Early detection is crucial for successful elimination. Bed bugs can quickly multiply so it is important to take swift action and follow up.

Do I have to kill bed bugs quickly?

If you identify the problem early, your success rate in killing bed bugs quickly will increase. It is possible to eliminate bed bugs by yourself if you start DIY treatments when only a few bed bugs are present. It can be very difficult to identify a bed bug problem before it escalates.

Many people we end-up treating with bed bugs have tried many of the organic remedies, essential oils and over-the–counter products available online. They have either destroyed or set ablaze their furniture. They replaced carpeting and even put the plastic on their brand new replacement mattress. But they can't get rid. They may be better for a while but they can't get rid of them. You should call us immediately if you are in this position.

You suspect you have a bed bug infestation?

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. Bed bugs can travel easily in luggage, clothing, and other personal belongings. This allows them to quickly spread and infest homes and other places where people gather. It is best to not attempt any DIY treatment if bed bugs make their way into your house. Unfortunately, we have seen too many people get into dangerous situations trying to rid their home of bed bugs. We can provide a professional assessment and offer treatment options to ensure your peace of mind.

There may be mice and rats lurking in your home's shadows this fall.

This is the season when temperatures drop, so rats and mice are forced indoors to find a warm place to live. You can provide a safe environment for them in your warm home, car or office. You can make them feel at home by providing food and water, a safe environment and controlled temperatures.

We want to share the best methods to stop mice and rats getting into your home or office. What can you do to eliminate mice? Here are our top tips to help you get rid of rodents once they're inside.

How to keep spiders from entering your home in the fall

Preferred Pest Control reminds homeowners as Autumn approaches and fall decorations start popping up that a little bit of pest-proofing can go a long way in protecting your home. The spiders of this season come in many shapes and sizes, and they spin their webs in the most innocuous places. It's common to find spiders in your windows and doors, along your eaves, overhangs, and on your children's swing set, or other outdoor structures. As fall approaches, spiders will begin to migrate indoors, to warm places such as your basement, garage or storage area. There are no restrictions when it comes time for a spider to set up its winter home.

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

Use gloves when landscaping or moving around stored items.

To avoid attracting flying insects such as moths, keep outside lights off. The spiders that gather around lights are like a buffet of all things for them.

To keep spiders and insects out, seal cracks in your foundation.

Use these tips and tricks when working in these spaces to keep spiders from getting into your home.

Keep your home clean, particularly when vacuuming. Most vacuums are powerful enough to kill a spider or destroy any eggs you find.

Consider adding spider repellent plants to your exterior.

Sticky traps should be placed in places where they are least likely to find them. This will not only keep spiders away but also helps you identify the areas where they are most active.

Reduce their food supply. Spiders eat small insects. You can eliminate other insects that spiders are feeding by eliminating them.

Spiders can be quite alarming, but they aren't necessarily bad. They can also be found eating other household insects, such as beetles and moths. Spiders can be used to control flies and earwigs as well as cockroaches. Most spiders are harmless and can be easily collected into a container and moved outside. Two types of spiders are to be noted in our area. If they get startled, the Brown Recluse spiders and Black Widow spiders bite. You should be cautious when you go to an area that hasn't been disturbed in a while. Keep your decorations safe by storing them in their original boxes.

This is a busy season for spiders and insects. Stink bugs and Asian beetles, which are seasonal pests, will bring a feast for spiders. Make sure you take precautions to prevent your home and office from becoming spider-infested this fall. Contact us for more help in spider prevention and control.
