Preferred Pest Control understands how important it can be to keep your home clean of pests and creepy-critters during the summer...or anytime. Our pest control services are the most comprehensive and thorough available!
Bed bugs love warmer temperatures so summer is their peak season. They are also more likely when people travel, making them more vulnerable to these hitchhiking parasites. They can be very difficult to remove, so it's important that travelers inspect their lodgings before spending the night.
Today, we will be featuring the crab Spider. These tiny spiders can be found hiding among the greenery and foliage waiting to ambush any prey they find. Some species have the ability to change their colors in a Chameleon-like manner. This is a wonderful adaptation for spiders that hunt primarily on flowers. Their crab-like appearance is what 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. They prey on a wide variety of insects, including flies and bees. They can take on larger prey. These spiders do not pose any danger to humans. Watch out for subtle movements next time you stroll among the flowers. Maybe you will see a crab Spider hunting and enjoying its best life.
BOLAS SPIDERS can also be found across the United States. Missouri hosts four species. Each one is a copy of another. Some look like snails while others are more like bird droppings. The ruse worked because I initially thought this was a snail when I first saw it. They are not web spinners, and they belong to the same class as orb weavers. Instead they release a scent similar to that of certain moths in order to attract a 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 also use bolas to throw at animals' legs, effectively tripping them. After mating, the male offspring will produce many egg sacs. In the winter, the spiderlings are born. This is the unusual part about it: The male offspring. They are born as adults! They can mate immediately, so no maturing is required. The growth of the females is still necessary. These tiny, half-inch-long females can be found hanging out on the leaves of bushes or other plants. Although they look like poop (or snails), a careful eye could reveal one of Missouri’s most fascinating spiders.

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 allow them full access to your house or apartment. They will then use the unsealed pipes around your bathroom fixtures and kitchen to search for food. There is a risk that food can be eaten or contaminated if it is left unattended on countertops and in pantries. It is important to get rid of them quickly. Preferred Pest Control will help you to eliminate rats and mice from your home or workplace. Preferred Pest Control is a rodent exterminator with over 50 years' experience.
Inspection
It is essential to determine how rodents are entering your property or building. To find entry points, our rodent control specialists will inspect your property. During the inspection, they will determine the exact species responsible and where they are nesting.
Treatment
Once we have finished our inspection, you can start the treatment. There are many options for treating a mouse or rat problem. Each home and each business is unique, so each treatment plan is tailored to ensure the best possible results. We use a combination if baits and traps to get rid of the rodents as fast as possible.

What are Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are a serious problem for homeowners and business people. Because they are small and can hide easily, bed bugs often go untreated until it's too late.

Can I kill bedbugs myself quickly?
If you identify the problem early, your success rate in killing bed bugs quickly will increase. If there are only a few bedbugs present, you can start DIY treatments. Be diligent about repeating your efforts to get rid of the rest. It is difficult to detect a bedbug problem before it becomes serious.
Bed bug treatment is usually performed by people who have used all of the online remedies, essential oils, and over-the-counter treatments. 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. Although they are generally better for a while they can still come back with avengeance. It's time for you to call us if this is your situation.

You might have mice or rats hiding in your home 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. They will feel right at home if they have access to food and water and are able to create a nest.

How to keep spiders away from your home this 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. 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 the temperature drops and fall gets closer, spiders will seek shelter in warm areas like your basement, garage and storage area. A spider can set up its winter home in any place.
Use these tips and tricks when working in these spaces to keep spiders from getting into your home.
When landscaping or moving items around, wear gloves.
To prevent moths from gaining entry to your home, turn off outside lights. It's like spiders eating all the food you offer.
For spiders to avoid getting into your home, seal any cracks in your foundation.
Use these tips and tricks when working in these spaces to keep spiders from getting into your home.
Regular vacuuming is a must. Most vacuums have the power to kill a web spider or eliminate any egg sacs.
Put spider-repelling plants around your home's exterior.
Sticky traps may be placed in unattended areas. This will not only stop them from crawling, but it will help you find out which areas are most active.
Reduce their food source. Spiders feed off small insects. You can get rid of spiders if you remove the other insects that they are feeding.
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 are also effective in controlling flies, earswigs, and even cockroaches. Most spiders can be collected and placed in a container to be relocated outside. Two types of spiders are to be noted in our area. If they're startled, the Brown Recluse (Black Widow) spiders will bite. You should be cautious when you go to an area that hasn't been disturbed in 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 a busy year for spiders, and insects. The arrival of seasonal pest invaders like stink bug and Asian beetles will offer a feast for the spiders. You can take steps now to ensure your home or workplace is spider-free this fall. Contact us today to learn more about spider prevention and control.
