Termites are wood-destroying insects common in most of Oklahoma. They cause millions of dollars in damage annually.The probability that termites will attack wooden structures within 10 to 20 years of being built is greater than 70% in Oklahoma. Termite attacks may begin as early as one year after construction. Let The Bug Guy help you with our professional line of defense. We treat termites where they live using only the industries best product, Termidor, to stop termites dead in their tracks!

Bed Bugs are strictly hematophagous or bloodsucking insects. They feed on human blood as well as other warm blooded hosts. A bed bug can feed for five to ten minutes before becoming completely engorged with blood. Bed bugs have six stages of life, and they shed their skin throughout multiple stages of their lives. These bugs must shed six times before becoming fertile adults.

Due to their large colony size and defensive nature, Yellow Jackets are more aggressive than paper wasps. Yellow Jackets have effective means of defending their colonies. They often have “guards” at their nest entrances, and the colony can easily be disturbed by rapid movement and vibrations near the nest. For this reason, one will almost certainly be stung if a lawn mower or trimmer is used near a Yellow Jacket nest. In some species, an alarm chemical is released upon stinging that causes nest mates to join the attack.

A typical fire ant colony produces large mounds in open areas, and feeds mostly on young plants and seeds. Fire ants often attack small animals and can kill them. Unlike many other ants, which bite and then spray acid on the wound, fire ants bite only to get a grip and then sting (from the abdomen) and inject a toxic alkaloid venom called Solenopsin, a compound from the class of piperidines. For humans, this is a painful sting, a sensation similar to what one feels when burned by fire (hence the name) and the after effects of the sting can be deadly to sensitive people.

Fleas pass through a complete life cycle consisting of egg, larva, pupa and adult. A typical flea population consists of 50 percent eggs, 35 percent larvae, 10 percent pupae and 5 percent adults. Completion of the life cycle from egg to adult varies from two weeks to eight months depending on the temperature, humidity, food, and species. Normally after a flea has fed off its host, the female flea lays about 15 to 20 eggs per day up to 600 in a lifetime usually on the host (family pets, livestock, wild animals, humans, etc.). Eggs loosely laid in the hair coat can fall out almost anywhere the host rests or eats. No place in a home is safe from fleas.
