Fire Ants in the Fall

Fire ants have a dormancy period in the winter where they are not very active, but before that they can still be a painful nuisance in your yard.

Getting them to take bait down into the colony just before they become more inactive during cooler weather means that colony will be eradicated and not come back in the spring. Which means your yard will…

Keeping Roaches Out Of Your Home

If you are seeing outdoor roaches inside, pest control is the way to go. But if you continue to see roaches even after a pest control service, and they are dead or dying, then you may have other issues. This means the pest control products are working, but the roaches are coming inside. This applies to outdoor roaches, not German roaches, which don’t live outside and are brought in by human activity and on items…

Treating Pests In the Fall

While insects are decreasingly active in the fall and certainly winter months, there are still bugs around to treat. In fact, treating some insects in the fall is an ideal time. Why? Because they are preparing already to “overwinter” or become less active, so it’s a great time to “knock them out” before they go off into relative seclusion. This is particularly true of fire ants who are far less active in the colder winter…

Rain and Insects

It’s finally raining in Austin, which is great! But what about bugs? Of course, mosquitos increase after rains because they lay eggs in standing water, and can hatch in as little as 24 to 48 hours! But besides the dreaded mosquito, we often get calls after it rains for other pests like ants and roaches, so what about those insects? Most pests aren’t fans of getting hit with rain, which as you can imagine being…
