Preferred Pest Control understands how important it can be to keep your home clean of pests and creepy-critters during the summer...or anytime. Preferred Pest Control offers the most comprehensive, thorough pest control services available.
As they prefer warmer temperatures, summer is the best time to be bed bug-prone. People are also more likely to travel during summer, which makes them more vulnerable to hitchhiking insects. They can be very difficult to remove, so it's important that travelers inspect their lodgings before spending the night.
Today's feature is on the crab web spider. These tiny spiders lurk among the foliage and greenery, hiding from predators. Some species are capable to change their coloration in a Chameleon like fashion. This is an excellent adaptation for a spider which hunts mainly 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 like all spiders. They eat a variety of insects including flies, bees, and butterflies. They can take on larger prey. These spiders do not pose any danger to humans. 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 also be found across the United States. Missouri hosts four species. Each one is a copy of another. Some look like birds droppings while others resemble snails. The ruse worked because I initially thought this was a snail when I first saw it. Although they are similar to orb weavers in their classification, they don't spin webs. Instead they release a smell similar to that released by certain moths to attract a new mate. The bolas will release a string of silk with a thick glob of sticky silk along the ends. When the moth arrives to investigate, she will grab her prey using the lasso. 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. The male offspring is something that is quite unusual. They are born as adults! They can mate already, so there is no maturing necessary. Females must however complete their growth. These tiny, 1/2-inch females are found on the ends of leaves from bushes and other plants. They look for poop (or snails) everywhere, but a keen eye might reveal one of Missouri's most unusual spiders.

Rodents don't need to live in the home or office of your business.
Rodents can spread disease and cause property damage. It is time to act if you spot a rodent living or dead, find its droppings, or observe damage to property and food supplies.
Rodent Control
Once the rodent has gained entry to your house through the foundation, they will have access to the plumbing within the walls. They can then gain complete access to your home or apartment by using these pipes. Then they will use unsealed pipe around your bathroom fixtures and kitchen, to look for food. Food left on countertops or in pantries is at risk of becoming contaminated. It is important to get rid of them quickly. Preferred Pest Control has the expertise to remove rats and mice from your business or home. Our rodent control expertise has been accumulated over 50 years. We also perform highly effective exclusion work.
Inspection
The first step to eliminating rats and mice from your business or home is to find out how they got in. To find entry points, our rodent control specialists will inspect your property. They will inspect your property to identify the rodent species that are causing the problem, their nesting locations and what factors attract them.
Treatment
After our inspection is complete we will begin treatment. We offer several options to treat your mouse or rat problem. Every home and business is different so our treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs. To get rid of rodents as quickly and efficiently as possible, we use a combination baits and traps strategically placed in areas.
Guarantee
Preferred Pest Control offers a guaranteed 21-day refund when you choose rodenticides. We will visit your house or business twice within 21-days of the initial treatment. To check and refill bait stations, as well inspect our exclusion works to make sure they are working properly.

What are Bed Bugs?
Both homeowners and business owners are concerned about bed bugs. They are small and hide well, so it's easy to miss them until they become too big for DIY solutions.

How to keep your home safe from spiders this fall
Preferred Pest Control reminds homeowners to protect their home and health from pests as the seasons change and fall decorations start to appear. 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 the temperature drops and fall gets closer, spiders will seek shelter in warm areas like your basement, garage and storage area. If a spider is looking to build its winter home, there are no limits.
Follow these tips to avoid spider bites when you work in these spaces:
Use gloves when landscaping or moving around stored items.
To keep flying insects, such as moths, from your home exterior, it is important to turn off the outside lights. It's like spiders eating all the food you offer.
To keep spiders and insects out, seal cracks in your foundation.
To prevent spider bites, be sure to use these tips and techniques when working in these spaces.
Vacuum regularly, especially when vacuuming. Most vacuums can kill spiders and remove any eggs sacs.
Consider adding spider repellent plants to your 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 supply. Spiders eat small insects. You can eliminate other insects that spiders are feeding by eliminating them.
Even though spiders can be disturbing, they aren’t always 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 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. Do not disturb an area that has been unoccupied for a while. Put away any holiday decorations you don't need, such as the winter boots or the ornaments that were stored in your garage.
It is a busy period for spiders as well as insects. Seasonal pest invaders like stink bugs and Asian beetles will arrive, providing a bounty of food for 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.
