Preferred Pests Kansas City

Preferred Pest Control knows how important it is to keep your home free of unwanted pests and creepy creatures, both in summertime as well as any time of the year. Preferred Pest Control offers the most comprehensive, thorough pest control services available.

Because bed bugs prefer warmer temperatures, summer is a peak season for them. The hitchhiking bugs are more common in summer because people travel more. They can be very difficult to remove, so it's important that travelers inspect their lodgings before spending the night.

This week's featured spider is the crab 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 a great adaptation for a spider who hunts primarily on flowers. Their crab-like appearance 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. Like all spiders, they are carnivores. Their prey includes flies, bees and even butterflies. They can overpower larger prey. These spiders are harmless and do not contain any venom. When you next walk among the flowers, look out for subtle movements. Perhaps you will spot the crab spider hunting or enjoying its best days.

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. 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 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, a female will produce several eggs sacs. Overwintering is necessary for the spiderlings to emerge. This is what makes this unusual: the male offspring. They hatch as adults! They can mate already, so there is no maturing necessary. The females have to complete their growth. 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.
