Preferred Pests Kansas City

Preferred Pest Control understands how important it can be to keep your home clean of pests and creepy-critters during the summer...or anytime. We provide the best pest control services in town!

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

This week's featured spider is the crab spider. These tiny spiders can be found hiding among the greenery and foliage waiting to ambush any prey they find. Some species are capable to change their coloration in a Chameleon like fashion. This is a wonderful adaptation for spiders that hunt primarily on flowers. Their characteristic appearance is similar to a crab. The resemblance is complete by their large front legs that extend to the sides, and sideways walking. They are carnivores. They prey on a wide variety of insects, including flies and bees. They can take on larger prey. These spiders are harmless and do not contain any venom. If you're walking among flowers, be alert for subtle movements. You may just catch a glimpse at a crab spider hunting or living the best life possible.

BOLAS SPIDERS can be found all over the United States. Missouri is home for four species. Each one is a copy of another. 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 used bolas as a weapon to throw at the legs and teem them. After mating the female will produce many eggs sacs. The spiderlings then emerge from the overwinter. The male offspring is something that is quite unusual. They hatch as adults! They can mate immediately, so no maturing is required. 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 are a serious problem for homeowners and business people. Bed bugs are small in size and have a great instinct to hide so they can often go unnoticed until it's too late. The key to eliminating bed bugs quickly is to understand what bedbugs look like, what areas they love to hide in, and what the activity looks like in these areas. Because bed bugs multiply quickly, it is essential to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Can I kill bedbugs fast by myself?

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. But, it can be difficult to spot a bedbug problem once it has progressed beyond that point.

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 have replaced carpeting and even left plastic on their new mattress. They still have trouble getting rid of them. While they may feel better after a while, they will still return with avengeance. We can help you if you're in this kind of situation.

You suspect you have a bed bug infestation?

Although there are no foolproof methods to prevent bed bugs, these techniques can make your home less likely to be infested and help you diagnose an infestation.

How to keep your home safe from spiders this 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. These spiders are everywhere this time of the year. Spiders can be found in a variety of places, including around your windows and doors, your eaves, and overhangs. They also like to hang out on outdoor structures such as swing sets and other outdoor structures. As the temperatures fall and it gets into fall, spiders may want to move into warmer places like your basement or garage, storage area, or even inside your living space. When it comes to spiders setting up their winter home, there is no limit.

Follow these tips to avoid spider bites when you work in these spaces:

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

To keep flying insects, such as moths, from your home exterior, it is important to turn off the outside lights. Gathering insects around lights can be like a spider's all-you-can-eat buffet.

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

Follow these tips to avoid spider bites when you work in these spaces:

Make sure to vacuum regularly. 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 are best placed in darkened areas. This will stop spiders from entering your home. It will also allow you to determine the areas that are most active.

Reduce their food source. Spiders are attracted to small insects. Spiders will be gone if all the insects they are eating are eliminated.

Spiders are not always scary, although they can be very disturbing. They are also attracted by houseplants and hunt other common household insect such as beetles, moths, and beetles. Spiders can be used to control flies and earwigs as well as cockroaches. Most spiders will not harm people and can be removed from a container and taken outdoors. It is important to know that there are two types. If they're startled, the Brown Recluse (Black Widow) spiders will bite. When you disturb an area that has remained unaltered for a while, please be cautious. Keep your decorations safe by storing them in their original boxes.

This is a busy year for spiders, and insects. Seasonal pest invaders like stink bugs and Asian beetles will arrive, providing a bounty of food for spiders. It is important to take preventative measures now to keep your office and home spider-free. Contact us today to learn more about spider prevention and control.
