Fall Invaders

Fall is typically a very pleasant time of year for people to spend time outdoors. But it’s also a time when many pests are busy looking for a drier and more comfortable place to spend the winter. It’s at this time that they start gathering on the outside of homes and other buildings, and can invade in […]

A History Of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs, once a scourge, were almost completely wiped out in this country in the 1940’s. But in recent years these blood-suckers have come back with a vengeance, and unfortunately they will become even more of a problem in the years ahead. Bed bugs apparently origin-ated in the Mediterranean area. They were first reported in […]

Rodent Bites In New York City

Rodents bite about 100 New Yorkers in the city every year, according to recent city Health Department statistics. But this number is just based on bites that are reported—many rodent bites are never reported. About 2/3 of these bites are from rats, and about 1/3 from mice. Many of the mouse bites happen when a mouse is […]

Spiders Close Post Office

The discovery of an infestation of brown recluse spiders caused the United States Post Office to close one of its Louisville branch post offices. The spiders were discovered where the employees sort the mail. Brown recluse spiders are highly poisonous; their bite can cause a severe lesion by destroying skin tissue. Fortunately it is not an aggressive species and no […]

Why Do Zebras Have Stripes?

Animal researchers have theorized for years that a zebra’s stripes confuse predators like lions, but new research just published shows the stripes have a surprising benefit—they actually help protect the zebras from biting insects. Since biting pests carry many diseases as well as constantly distract animals from feeding, it is possible that the reduction in pest activity could be an even […]

Monster Snake On Display

A 2,500 pound, 48-foot long (as long as a bus), titanoboa snake recently shocked commuters in New York’s Grand Central Station. Fortunately it is not alive, but is a life-size replica of the remains of a giant prehistoric snake first discovered in Columbia in a coal mine in 2005. In this case truth is actually larger than fiction, because the snake […]

Pest Prevention Tip Of The Month #2

Check your window screens and repair or replace them as needed. For very loose screens that pests can crawl around, install weather-stripping along the edges to tighten them. If doors tend to be left open, install screen doors that shut automatically.

Giant Wasp Discovered

A gigantic 2 ½ inch long wasp, the largest wasp ever discovered, has been found in Indonesia. Almost nothing is known about this new species. The males have huge spiked jaws that they probably use to protect their nests. The area they were discovered in is so remote no one has reported being stung by the monsters.

Three Mosquito Myths

1. MOSQUITOES ARE ATTRACTED TO WOMEN MORE THAN TO MEN Here’s What We Know: Many people claim women, who we know as “the sweeter sex”, are just more attractive to mosquitoes. But research shows body size is more important, so men are generally more likely to be bitten simply because they are larger. Larger bodies […]

Ants: Ongoing Invaders

For a number of years now ants have been the #1 pest problem in the country—more homeowners have ant problems than any other pest. In reality, every unprotected household experiences ant problems either occasionally or constantly. This is because ants are continually reinvading areas in their search for food, water, and shelter. For many species, our homes […]
