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

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 are difficult to eliminate, so travelers should make sure to check their accommodations before staying the night.

Today's feature is on the crab web spider. These tiny spiders hide among greenery and flowers, waiting for prey to come their way. Some species can change their coloration in a Chameleon-like fashion. It is an amazing adaptation for a spider that mainly hunts 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 even overpower much 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 are found in the United States. Missouri has four species. Each one can be considered a mimic. Some look like snails and others like bird droppings. The ruse worked because I initially thought this was a snail when I first saw it. They are the same species as orb weaver, but they don't spin any webs. Instead they release a scent similar to that of certain moths in order to attract a mate. The bolas releases a strand silk with a sticky glob on it that the moth will use to capture her prey. The South American Gauchos have also used the bolas in their fight against the legs of animals to tamper with them. After mating, a female will produce several eggs sacs. Overwintering is necessary for the spiderlings to emerge. This is the unusual part about it: The male offspring. They hatch as adults! They can already mate and there is no need to mature. Females must however complete their growth. These tiny females, measuring 1/2 inches, hang out on the ends leaves of bushes.

Rodents Do Not Have to Live in Your Home or Business

Rodents can spread disease and cause property damage. 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 a rodent gains access to your house via the foundation, it will also gain access to the plumbing between the walls. These pipes will give them complete access to your apartment and home. These pipes will allow them to gain full access to your home or apartment by using unsealed plumbing around your kitchen and fixtures. Any food left behind on counters, in pantries or on counters is at risk of being eaten. You must immediately get rid of them. Preferred Pest Control is able to help if you suspect that rats or mice may be in your home. We have over 50 years experience in exterminating rodents.

Inspection

To eliminate mice and rats from your house or business, it is important to identify how they are getting in. Our rodent control experts will inspect the structure for entry points. They will inspect your property to identify the rodent species that are causing the problem, their nesting locations and what factors attract them.

Treatment

Once we have finished our inspection, you can start the treatment. 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 eliminate rodents quickly, we use a combination traps and baits strategically placed around the property.

Preferred Pest Control provides a guarantee of a 21-day return if you select rodent control. Our exterminators will visit your home or place of business two times within 21 days. We'll refill and inspect the bait stations, and check that it is working properly.

Bed bugs can quickly multiply so it is important to take swift action and follow up.

Do I have to kill bed bugs quickly?

You will have a better chance of killing bed bugs fast if you get the problem caught early. You can control bed bugs on your own if you are able to start DIY treatments early. It can be very difficult to identify a bed bug problem before it escalates.

This fall, mice and rats could be hiding in your home's hidden places.

This is when rats and mice seek warmth indoors as the temperatures drop. They can thrive in a warm environment such as your home, office, or car. They will feel right at home if they have access to food and water and are able to create a nest.

We want to share with you the best methods to keep mice and rats away from your workplace or home. 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 begins to change and fall decorations are appearing, that pest-proofing can help protect your home and keep you healthy through the winter months. These spiders are everywhere this time of the year. Spiders are often found around doors and windows, along with your eaves or overhangs, as well as on swings and other outdoor structures. As temperatures drop, spiders will move indoors to warmer areas such as the basement, garage, storage or living spaces. 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.

For landscaping work or to move stored items around, use gloves.

To avoid attracting flying insects such as moths, keep outside lights off. 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.

These tips and tricks will help you avoid getting bitten and keep spiders away from your home when working in these areas.

Regular vacuuming is a must. 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 source. Spiders will eat other 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 are also attracted by houseplants and hunt other common household insect such as beetles, moths, and beetles. Spiders can also be used to control flies. Most spiders do not pose a threat to humans and can easily be taken outside in a container. Two types of spiders are to be noted in our area. If they're startled, the Brown Recluse (Black Widow) spiders will bite. Do not disturb an area that has been unoccupied for a while. You can store your holiday decorations in boxes, under the leaves, or in winter boots you have stored in the garage.

This is an exciting time of the year for spiders. The arrival of seasonal pest invaders like stink bug and Asian beetles will offer a feast for the spiders. To keep your home and workplace spider-free this autumn, take precautions now. For more information on spider control and prevention, contact us today.
