Pest Control OKC: Keeping Commercial Buildings Pest Free

Just like homes, commercial properties are also subject to insect invasions. The difference is that as a business owner, the liability is greater. You may think that your office building is safe from pest problems until an issue arises. By that time you could be facing more serious troubles as you attempt to keep employees and customers from enduring bites, stings, or messy work stations.  No matter what you’re in the business of doing, just know that our pest control OKC team is in the business of keeping commercial properties like yours free from bothersome pests.

If you have employee break room areas, keeping them clean is an important task for controlling bugs. Of course, clean places are subject to pest invasions, as well. Even the most “well built” establishments have been known to develop cracks in doors, walls, and drain pipes which are all easy entry ways for a variety of pests. With fall weather bringing in cooler temperatures, it’s the perfect time for bugs, especially, to begin seeking shelter indoors. They’ll also look for water and food sources wherever they can, so that’s why it’s vital to take notice of what is going on in your commercial building.

Our pest control OKC team would be more than happy to help ensure that your business keeps buzzing in all the right ways. So, if you notice a small problem, it’s best to call right away rather than waiting for full on infestation.

If you are able to locate the reasons for bugs entering your commercial property, you should consider paying someone to correct the issue,  as well, to prevent further insect problems.

If you’re already in need of commercial property pest control OKC services, please feel free to contact our team. You may reach our pest control OKC team by calling The Bug Guy at 405-973-5522.

Pest Control OKC: Bugs That Are Bugging This Fall

As you start to enjoy the change of the season, gearing up for Halloween festivities, and partaking in fall events, it is our pest control OKC team’s hope that your home remains pest-free. If you’re one of the unfortunate homeowners noticing that some bugs are still bugging you this fall, then we certainly want to help you out!

If you haven’t noticed anything yet, but you don’t know what to look for here’s a list our pest control OKC team is providing to you of 3 fall bug problems to keep an eye out for around your home.

1.) Stink Bugs: As fall rolls in these foul smelling bugs will group up on the side of the house where the sun shines most. This congregation can last for weeks at and then when the temperatures become even colder they’ll begin making their way into the home to hibernate. The smell of a stink bug that has let off its odor has been described as a pungent smelling coriander.

2.) Wasps: Since wasps work in the summer to build their nests, they can still be rather active when fall arrives. This is especially true if they were successful in building the largest nest that they possibly could have built during the warmer months. Their fall activity would be mostly due to their desire to feed as food sources start to become more scarce. Stings occur most when humans cross paths with a wasp by mistake.

3.) Ants: Many species of ants will seek out shelter in homes to avoid colder temperatures of the outdoors. They will also be entering homes to look for food and water. Carpenter ants tend to be problem as they will physically move their colonies into the walls of homes and cause structural damage.

It’s sad that a time of merriment can also be such a time of annoyance due to insect problems, but that’s why our professional OKC pest control team is available to help!

Webworms- Pest Control OKC

Pest Control OKC: When Webworms Take Over

For many people, webworms are something they have seen plenty of times before. Fall webworms typically would spin their nests from April to September in Oklahoma, but the crazy weather could be a reason people would still see evidence of web worms in October. Today, our pest control OKC team shares a bit more about fall webworms.

It the past horticulture experts have stated that due to milder winters and very wet springs the webworm population has been able to grow. These conditions are much like what Oklahoma’s own weather patterns have been like in the last year. Thus, it is no shock to our pest control OKC team and should be no surprise to you that the eye sore of these sticky nests are appearing.

What our pest control OKC team can tell you for certain is that the nests for webworms is actually a barrier of protection for them. The nests keep the worms from being eaten by wasps, birds, or other predators. The worms attach to trees for food, but the damage to the trees isn’t a big problem. The mess they make is more of a concern to most homeowners.

When the fall webworms hatch, in a butterfly-like fashion these webworms will become moths. For the fall this may not be an issue, but come next May the female, adult moths can lay 400 to 500 eggs! Within only 7 days of eggs being laid, larvae begin to spin their web and the process starts all over.

If you would like to know more about insecticide for treating the areas where webworms reside, please feel free to contact our pest control OKC team. We will be able to guide you to the perfect solution.

Pest Control OKC For All Manner Of Flies

Last month our pest control OKC team discussed a bit about why so many insects were still buzzing around when usually by this time the “traffic” has slowed down. The truth is that things haven’t changed very much for Oklahomans over the last 30 days, because our weather has been fairly steady across the metro area for weeks.

Our pest control OKC team has received reports that flies of every variety are still bugging quite a few homeowners as of the beginning of this October. The main concern is that since the weather has been so lovely, many homeowners still want to be able to enjoy outdoor events. It can be rather annoying to have a backyard hangout sessions with friends when the flies simply won’t leave you alone. This is especially true when food is involved!

What’s worse is that these pesky flying insects have likely reached their peak population by now and that means you will not be free of them even when the weather does start to become cooler. As our pest control OKC expert can tell you, the typical behavior of flies is to change their location when the weather slowly begins to shift to cooler temperatures. More specifically, these annoying buzzers will seek to make their way indoors.

Luckily, our pest control OKC team can take care of all manner of flies such as house flies, fruit flies, and cluster flies.

If you are tired of dealing with flies ruining your fall events whether they be outdoor or indoor, please give our pest control OKC team a call. We would be more than happy to make certain that you have a pest-free environment so that you can go on enjoying the lovely weather while it lasts!
