Residential Pest Control In Baymeadows Center, FL

When you get year-round residential pest control for your home, you'll get routine visits from a technician. During these visits, the first thing your technician is going to do is inspect your property and evaluate pest pressures and pest activity.

Here are a few ways pest identification plays a role in what treatments will be applied:

• If carpenter ant damage or frass is noticed, or carpenter ants are found, your technician will select an appropriate bait that carpenter ants typically take. Some carpenter ants prefer sweets so a liquid bait may be used. Some carpenter ants prefer protein so a granular bait may be used.
• If cockroaches are discovered during an inspection, your technician will determine the species. Some cockroaches don't present a threat to human health and can be managed with routine perimeter applications. Some cockroaches require high levels of moisture, and your technician will inform you of ways you may be able to naturally deter them. When targeted control is needed, your technician will choose baits and methods that are known to work for the species that has been identified.
• During your inspection, your technician may go over any things you've noticed. If you report that you've been seeing a brown rat on your property, your technician knows that brown rats are Norway rats, a species that often creates burrows in the ground. Using this knowledge, your technician can offer a treatment strategy and locate likely areas where these rats may be found.

Pest identification provides helpful information that your technician is able to use to manage pests on your property. These three examples are only a few of the many ways pest identification plays an important role in residential pest control, and identification is only one of the tools in your technician's toolbox.

In a commercial environment, pest identification helps your commercial specialist deal with difficult pest control challenges, such as keeping Indian meal moths, beetles, and weevils out of stored food products, or preventing Pharaoh ants from infesting medical facilities.

These scientific methods require a clear understanding of how pests behave, breed, and nest. In cases where a particular species presents a unique threat, as is the case with Pharaoh ants, your commercial specialist uses specialized knowledge from the field of entomology to solve even the most difficult infestations.
