August is around the corner and is often one of the rainiest months in the Tampa Bay area. With the rains come ants. Many homeowners try to treat ants on their own and instead of eliminating these pests, their treatments make them worse. Certain types of ants are treated with protein baits, while others are best treated with sugar baits.
Mosquitoes are also a problem this time of year. Not only are they annoying, but they carry encephalitis. There has already been one reported death due to encephalitis in this area. There is no way to completely eliminate these pests, but they can be controlled. We offer our customers a monthly organic mosquito treatment with their regular pest control service that helps with this problem and gives them peace of mind.
So remember, even though the do-it-yourself methods may seem like the least expensive way to take care of your pests, the wrong kind of treatment will not only make the problem worse, but can cost more money in the long run.
