Fall Pests Cause Pest Control Problems

Fall is here and the pests will cause pest control problems

With fall and cooler weather all sorts of pests from rodents to spiders are looking to find a warm, cozy home to shack up in. This can be a residential home or a commercial business. These pests do not care which one as long as they have their needs met. After all, nobody wants to be out in the cold when they could easily find an entry point to get in.

So, what do you need to do in fall to prepare for these pests? In Oklahoma we have weather that can change from one minute to the next so it could be 60 degree’s today and 30 degree’s tomorrow. This makes the homes look like paradise to a mouse or spider. Typically a home or business can have dozens of easy access points for these types of pests to enter. You have weep holes, soffit, garage doors without good seals, rotted trim, rotted garage framing and cracks and gaps in siding, brick and other types of holes, access points all around the home. We recommend dealing with these security problems so spiders and rodents don’t take advantage of you.

As the weather gets colder, more and more of these pests will enter. You need a plan in place to minimize their ability to stay. After all, rodents leave feces and urine just about everywhere they go. Mice are known carriers/vectors of disease.

Tips To Reduce Pests For Oklahoma Business Owners, Pest Control

Oklahoma Business Owners: 10 Tips To Reduce Pests

Protect your Tulsa area business from the threat of pest infestations with these Pest Control Tips.

As a business owner, you are probably well aware of the importance of maintaining a safe working environment. One thing that can hurt your image and reputation are insects, rodents and nuisance wildlife. A filthy workplace increases the risk for injury as well as illness and disease. Pests such as cockroaches, spiders, ants, silverfish, termites and nuisance wildlife can cost you if not dealt with in timely fashion. This controllable problem can become a serious problem. So, to help avoid any of the above situations, here are 10 tips to Reduce Pests.

1) The first thing any business should do is sign up for regular scheduled pest control services to protect your business year round. In addition to your own pest prevention measures, having regular commercial pest control services is essential to avoiding the threats that pests bring.

2) Inspect the exterior of the facility and fill in or close off any cracks, holes, or other openings. You want to provide as few entry points as possible to minimize pest problems.

3) Make sure all doors or entry areas are protected with screens or other barriers. Facilities with loading docks may want to consider flaps or other large screens that will help keep pests from getting inside.

4) Take the trash outside at the end of every day because trash is the starting point for most pest problems. Pests such as rodents, cockroaches and flies thrive in conditions where trash is not properly dealt with.

5) Be sure that dumpsters are located away from the exterior of the facility since they tend to attract flies and many other critters. A good rule of pest control is to keep the dumpsters as far away as possible. All dumpsters or other trash receptacles need to be closed off with lids. Also, do not allow cardboard boxes, crates or other trash to accumulate outside the dumpster.

6) All food surfaces should be sanitized before and after each use to prevent the spread of bacteria and disease from pests like flies.

7) Any open food should be sealed in airtight containers so that pests cannot gain access.

8) Always take cardboard outside instead of letting it pile up in the facility. This only creates conditions in which roaches and flies can multiply. Clutter should always be kept to a minimum, even eliminated altogether so that pests do not have the opportunity to hide and multiply.

9) Heavy landscaping and water features can attract pest such as spiders, cockroaches, ants, birds, nuisance wildlife animals that could easily become an ongoing problem.

10) Implement employee training so that staff can recognize the signs of pests as well as knowing exactly how to report a pest problem with discretion.

In winter it’s more indoor pests calls for things such as Cockroaches or Brown Recluse Spiders. When spring hits Ants and Termites become the biggest problem pests. Now with summer in full swing the pest most people are concerned with is the Black Widow Spider. Why the Black Widow? Well for many reasons….

The heat of summer pushes a number of pests to find water. If you water your yard then you likely will have problems with Spiders. Typically the regular harmless Garden Spiders or Wolf Spiders that are good to have around. Also, with the heat comes the Black Widow Spider which is typically found around patio furniture, BBQ Cookers, In the Garage, Door Frames, Garage Door Frames and a number of other places. Why so much in summer and not other seasons? The Black Widow Spider needs food, water and shelter and what better place than at a home where the owners water regularly. This creates a multitude of problems as other pests need water so the Black Widow has found a perfect hunting ground, your home!

Black Widow Spider

Be careful opening covered outlets on the interior and exterior of homes. The covers you use to keep faucets from freezing in winter can become a Black Widow home during late spring and summer.

Brown Recluse Spiders:

The Brown recluse spider coexisting with humans can be dangerous. They are very common in Oklahoma and can be found in large numbers in your Broken Arrow and or Tulsa area home. They do cause serious problems if you are bitten and require immediate medical attention.

This spider lives in dark corners and places inside houses and also under furniture, boxes and books.
It has a rather shy and non-aggressive behavior, although occasionally the Brown Recluse Spider bites humans because they share the same habitat.

Bites only occur when the spider is disturbed, accidentally touched, and when putting on seldom used clothing and shoes where the Brown Recluse Spider has decided to live.

Its web is made of a loose and irregular yet very sticky thread. It is only built as a daytime retreat and as an egg holder.

Brown Recluse Spiders can survive six months without food or water, hidden in their lairs during daytime and roaming at night.

This arachnid prefers undisturbed places, so the Brown Recluse Spider usually bites humans when it is caught between a part of the body and another surface, for example, when children are playing under house furniture such as beds and tables or in the garage. Bites also happen while a person who is sleeping suddenly rolls in a bed where the Brown Recluse Spider has climbed, or when dressing with clothes or shoes where the spider has hidden itself.

Structure:

Like all arachnids, this type is also formed by a cephalothoraxes connecting the 4 pairs of legs and the abdomen. The Brown Recluse is usually found to be no larger than a penny.

Life-cycle:

Adult brown recluse spiders often live about one to two years. Each female produces several egg sacs over a period of two to three months, from May to July, with approximately 50 eggs in each sac. The eggs hatch in about one month. The spiderlings take about one year to grow to adulthood. The brown recluse spider is resilient and can tolerate up to 6 months of extreme drought and scarcity or absence of food, most notably observed on one occasion to survive in controlled captivity for over five seasons without food.
