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!
