Ants
Among many species of ants, only a few are pests in the home. Ants are social insects which live in colonies. By nature they are important predators and scavengers which contribute to the recycling of nutrients to the soil, however in domestic or industrial situations they can be quite nuisance and will nest behind the kitchen counters, washrooms, laundry rooms, behind wall cavities, and under the baseboards. Some species nest in soil, amongst rocks and in decaying timber. Warm temperatures play a significant role in their prominence. To avoid ants, maintaining good hygienic conditions is very important. Kitchen and dining areas should be kept clean and free of food particles and waste. Pets feeding areas and foods leftovers should be cleaned up immediately. Decaying timber out in the back yards provide nesting sites too, and should be removed. Any persistent ant infestations in homes or commercial places should be treated by hiring a professional pest controller like Pest Control Barrie at 705-812-1412.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants can cause structural damage as they excavate the wood and form smooth tunnels inside the wood. These do not eat wood, but chew through wood, make tunnels and create nests. Carpenter ants attack wood softened by fungus or associated with moisture problems. They attack wood that is currently or has previously been wet, damaged by moisture or decayed wood. Later on they may begin excavating tunnels through dry wood as
well. Property owners should keep an eye out for excess moisture and soft, rotting wood in and around the home. To prevent carpenter ants problem you should eliminate sources of moisture or water leakage. These ants are known for their powerful jaws and their bites are quiet painful. They may also inject formic acid into the bite wound, creating a burning sensation. However, this pain will subside and does not pose a significant health threat. In their nest building process, they do damage wood and can pose a significant property threat. For professional carpenter ants control service call “Pest Control Barrie” at 705-812-1412.
Bedbugs
Bed bugs is a serious problem in the city of Barrie. These wingless insects feed on the blood of people while they sleep. They come out at night to feed, attracted by the carbon dioxide we exhale. They can easily move from room to room on infested objects or with human body or clothes. Bedbugs cling to wood and fabric, and their eggs are cemented to the surface where they were laid. They hide in extremely small locations: in mattress pads, inside box springs, inside the cracks, gaps in the bed frames and base boards, under wallpaper, and behind picture frames etc. The female bedbug lays at least 200 eggs in her lifetime, at a rate of about two to four each day and are laid in cracks and crevices, behind woodwork, mattress, wooden bed frames and other hidden locations and usually hatch in 6 to 17 days. The ideal environment for reproduction is with temperatures ranging between 21°C and 28°C. Initially it was believed that bedbugs were not carriers of disease, however experts have more recently discovered that the bugs can transmit a parasite that may cause serious heart and digestive problems. Bed bugs are not a DIY (Do It Yourself) pest problem and require professional extermination services.
