SUMMER STILL GOING STRONG!

The conclusion of the 2016 Summer Olympics means the summer season will soon turn to fall. But there is a good 4-8 weeks of hot temperatures still to come so summertime pests won’t be leaving any time soon.

At this time we continue to field calls for SPRINGTAILS, YELLOW JACKETS and DIGGER BEES.

And recently we’ve been getting calls from people with FUNGUS GNATS in the home after moving potted……………………..

Other pests causing problems right now include MAGGOTS and PINE BORERS as well as EUROPEAN HORNETS. Maggots and flies will be super active this fall as they reach full cycle and European Hornet nests will hit peak numbers. This means they’ll be foraging more than ever and commonly stage their travel routes on local shrubs or trees. This can lead to bark girdling or foliage damage – neither one being……………………………

INSECT spotlight…  NO-SEEUMS

FEEDBACK spotlight…OPTIGARD REALLY WORKS!!

This means insects won’t detect its present and will readily walk over the treatment. For social insects like termites, ants and wasps, Optigard is well suited. Here’s what this customer had to say after following our recommendation:

“I wanted to tell you folks how happy we are with the results of using this product, Optigard Flex Liquid. I was somewhat hesitant because of the price of the product. Boy was I wrong. We had a serious bee/wasp problem on our deck, so that we couldn’t go into the area…………………………………………..
