Cold November Rain

11/3/2017

Ah, who doesn't like a great, early 90s rock ballad? There must be someone out there who doesn't, and we both know hearts can change. While the typical ebb and flow of calls asking for help with flies, aphids, elm seed bugs, and the like are now definitely in the "ebb," we still have calls coming in. So what is it that people are concerned with when it's cold at night, and plenty cool during the day, and it's frequently raining?

Gravel and rock bed weeds. Right now, look for sprouted weeds, in the only-measurable-in-millimeters stage of growth. Some of these hardy plants sprout and wait out the winter. If treated with a sturdy preemergence chemical now, it'll cut them off at the roots (literally), and make February's application that much more thorough.

Bed bugs! Blood suckers have to eat, too, and fortunately, ours is 98+ degrees even in winter.

Basement and crawlspace pests. Spiders, some ants, and lots of different hemiptera (bugs) and beetles will overwinter below your home. If this displeases you, we can help.
​
Rodents. Mice do quite nicely this time of year, snuggling up in the garage, under the dog house, out in the tool shed, and, if you're like a dozen other customers this week, somewhere between the kitchen and the laundry room. Be sure to keep pet food put away and sealed in an airtight container during the day (this will also help with ants), and make sure you have the cracks beneath doors fully sealed, to discourage access.

Now see if you can get Axl's voice out of your head by the end of the day, and call us for all your pest and weed control needs!
