WHAT DOES A PEST CONTROL PROFESSIONAL DO?

As a pest control professional, one should expect to get down and dirty on a daily basis. The job of the professional is to do exactly as its name states: to control or manage pests. Or, as described by the BLS: "Unwanted creatures that infest buildings or surrounding areas can pose serious risks to health and safety. Pest control workers remove these creatures from households, apartment buildings, places of businesses, and other structures, to protect people and maintain structural integrity."

Businesses and homeowners may call on a pest control professional for any number of reasons, including the elimination of ants, bed-bugs, rodents, cockroaches, bats, birds, and management or removal of squirrels, opossums, and racoons. 

Because the method of control or elimination is different for each pest, pest control workers have to be able to readily identify individual insects, rodents, birds, and wildlife; know their biology and habits; and understand proper techniques, in order to provide safe and effective control.

There are generally few requirements for attaining a job as a pest control worker; however, many companies prefer that applicants have completed a higher level of education. 

This is partly because further training and education will be required, so hiring applicants with at least a high school background is beneficial for both the technician and the company. Job listings for these positions will generally include such requirements as well as any other prerequisites for employment.

There is still plenty of urban wildlife activity going on all around us. Summer is a busy time of year for raccoons, squirrels and. skunks  Not only are new litters continuing to arrive but the babies born in early spring are now becoming mobile.

  

Raccoons: are very smart creatures normally active at night, they can also be a nuisance to any homeowner. They can destroy gardens, due to their great climbing ability causing structural damage to any property in the search of food and shelter. They can carry several bacterial diseases and parasites including rabies, that can be transmitted to humans and pets. 

Skunks: are nocturnal and sensitive to light and sound, they have a bad reputation because of the corrosive substance with a persistent unpleasant odor, secreted by the anal glands. They are omnivores which means they eat meat and vegetation.

Opossum: are the only marsupial in North America. They are mostly solitary, avoiding one another except during the breeding season in late winter. Generally nocturnal will spend the day in hollow tree trunks, rock crevices, underbrush piles or in burrows, they are excellent climbers and good swimmers. Although non-aggressive, opossums have 50 teeth and tend to drool and hiss, leaving the wrong impression to humans.

BAT CONTROL

Bat-proofing is the best way to prevent a potential infestation in a home, attic or building. After hibernation period ends is the most appropriate time to inspect and determine access points (attic, louvers, under facia boards) they are normally active at dusk.

It is recommended that homeowners seal any cracks or crevices with caulk and steel wool. Pay special attention to holes in the structure that lead to dark secluded areas. Also, screen attic vents and openings to chimneys, and install door sweeps. Exclusion is the only method to keep bats out long term.

Bats can pose a serious health threat to humans if they are found inside a structure. Fungi that harbors in bat droppings can cause the lung disease, histoplasmosis. An accumulation of droppings should be professionally decontaminated and removed.

A small percentage of bats are also infected with rabies, but may not show symptoms. Rabies can be transmitted when saliva or even the body tissue of an infected animal comes into contact with another animal or human. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention if you've had any unprotected, physical contact with a bat.

Another interesting bat fact is they are the only mammal capable of true flight. The surface of a bat’s wing is equipped with bumps called “Merkel cells”. These bumps have tiny hairs that help sense airflow during flight.

Females can lay up to 20 eggs per day, meaning that a single prolific female can cause an infestation in a matter of weeks. Fleas can transmit diseases to humans and pets, for example: cat scratch disease, plague, murine typhus, tapeworms among others.

Male and female adult fleas are warm-blooded animals. In the absence of a pet or animal, they will feed on humans. Therefore we offer the Flea Control service for your peace of mind.

COCKROACH CONTROL

Cockroaches can passively transport pathogenic microbes on their body surfaces, particularly in different environments. Also, they contaminate food and can transmit harmful pathogens.

These creatures are among the most common pests infesting homes and apartments. They are especially troublesome where food is prepared and sanitation is lacking. Cockroaches are repulsive and embarrassing to most people simply by their presence. They may contaminate food, kitchen utensils, and other household items, and they leave an unpleasant odor.

Because cockroaches move freely from filth to food, they can transfer pathogenic microbes that cause food poisoning and other illnesses. Many people are also allergic to cockroach excrement and their shed skins. Cockroach-produced allergens may cause congestion, sneezing and watery eyes, as well as life-threatening bronchial inflammation (asthma) characterized by recurrent cough, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Asthma triggered by cockroaches is especially common among children living in densely populated housing conditions where infestations are often severe.     

This pest enter buildings in a variety of ways. The ubiquitous German cockroach is often introduced in infested grocery bags, beverage cartons, or furniture. Species such as the American, Oriental, and wood cockroach also gain entry through gaps around windows, doors, vents, and utility openings, and in firewood. In multi-unit dwellings such as apartments, cockroaches also travel between units through common walls, ceilings, etc. Consequently, while roaches usually thrive where sanitation is poor, even clean homes can become infested.

ANT CONTROL

Ants are a social insect that lives in colonies. Ant control treatment plans should include killing the entire colony. Just spraying an ant with a typical ant spray, particularly a repellent spray will only kill a few at best and scatter the colony.

Ants may enter your house foraging for food or seek shelter. Understanding the behavior of ants will help you with the recommended ant control procedures outlined here. Ants enter through the smallest openings, foraging for water or food. They are in search of either sweet based food or protein/grease based foods. Once the ants find a food source, they will leave a pheromone trail for other ants to follow.

RODENT CONTROL

Rats are well known to spread disease, damage property and contaminate food and animal feed. If they are able to gain entry into your home or business, they can introduce other unwelcome parasites like fleas, lice and ticks.

Acting at the first sign of a suspected problem can help to drastically reduce the length of time needed to effectively control an infestation. Rats are able to breed quickly and a small problem has the potential to develop into a serious issue if left unmanaged.

As nocturnal creatures, rats are most active between dusk and dawn and usually hide from humans during the day. It is often easier to spot signs of a problem, rather than the actual pest.

Rat droppings - usually found concentrated areas as rats produce up to 40 droppings per night. Brown rat droppings are dark brown in a tapered, spindle shape about 9mm - 14mm long. They can resemble a large grain of rice.

Scratching noises - Think you might have rats in your roof? Black rats (also known as the roof rat) are agile climbers and can easily gain access into loft spaces and upper floors of buildings. Brown rats on the other hand, are less adept climbers. You may hear them scurrying under decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more likely to be identified by a grinding noise they make with their teeth known as bruxing.

Footprints (running tracks) - Rats leave foot and tail marks in dusty, less-used areas of buildings. To establish if an infestation is active, sprinkle fine flour or talc along a small stretch of floor near the footprints and check for fresh tracks the next day.

Rub marks - Rats use established routes along skirting boards and walls due to their poor eyesight. These marks may indicate rodent activity, but as smears may remain for a long period of time, they are not a good gauge of an active infestation.

Damage - Rats have teeth that grow continuously. They need to gnaw on wood and plastic to keep them trim. They have the potential to cause fires by chewing through electrical cables. 

Nests - Rats build nests in warm, hidden places using shredded material such as newspaper and fabrics. Nests will often contain young rats and are usually located close to a food source. 

Burrows - Brown rats are well known for digging and excavating extensive burrow systems for shelter, food storage and nesting. Look for burrows in compost heaps, under decking or garden sheds, or in garages.
