The Role of the Spider in Nature Popular culture often gave the spider a bad reputation, but much of the ire toward them is undeserved. While some spiders can be dangerous to humans, they play an important part in almost every ecosystem. Spiders are not only the romantic and dangerous figures they are made out to be in folklore, but like all creatures, they struggle to survive and take care of their young. The Differences between Dampwood and Drywood Termites Dampwood and drywood termites will both destroy your home, if you let them. There are some important differences between the two types, however, that might affect the amount and type of damage done to your home, the best way of detecting an infestation, and the best removal methods. The Big Three: Unmistakable Signs of Termite Trouble When you purchased your current home, it was most likely inspected for termites. You would have received a document from an inspection company to certify that no active infestations were present when you bought the home. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean your home doesn't have termites. If you haven't kept up termite treatments, it's always possible that they might have entered your home. Keeping your house free of mice & rodents Mice and rat infestation can be a serious problem. They can spoil and foul food, and spread disease. No one likes to share their homes with rodents. You throw out food, spend hours cleaning up their droppings and listen to them skittering in the walls and floorboards at all hours of the night. Here are some tips to help you keep your home mouse and rodent free. Insect Bites – When do they become an emergency? Most of the time there is little to worry about when one is bitten or stung by an insect. These attacks often cause very few problems other than initial shock and pain. All about carpenter ants - what they do and how to avoid them Termites are every homeowner's nightmare, but there's another insect that should also strike terror into the heart of the homeowner. Carpenter ants cause millions of dollars a year in damage to houses throughout the country, but they're not as well known as termites. If you live in an area that often has wet or damp conditions, or if there is a damp spot in your home, your house could be at risk from carpenter ants. Tips to Keep Your Garage Pest-Free For many city dwellers particularly, a garage is a luxury. If you are in the suburbs, the garage can be a place to store little used or seasonal items. Sometimes the garage gets to stuffed with paraphernalia that there is no room to house the vehicles it is supposed to contain. Tips for the Spring Season to Keep Your House Pest-Free When most people think of the spring, they think of flowers blooming and the return of the bird and butterflies. Unfortunately, the spring season also brings back ants, termites, and a variety of other pests that can end up in your house causing you all sorts of annoyances. How to Identify a Brown Recluse Spider There are only two deadly poisonous spiders commonly found in North America. One of these spiders, the black widow, has made its way into popular culture with its distinctive look and fantastic name. However, the equally deadly brown recluse is often overlooked. These spiders are not aggressive, but it is best to know how to identify one so they can be avoided. How to Identify a Black Widow Spider Black widow spiders strike fear in the hearts of many people around the world. Many people are fearful of all spiders because they don't know how to identify one species of spider from another. How Spring Rainfall can Affect Pests After lying dormant all winter, most insects and other pests will be making a full comeback once spring arrives. The weather that you experience during the spring can greatly affect the pests that you see in and around your home, both in the number that you see and how aggressively they try to find their way into your house or apartment. One of the key elements in this is rainfall, as having too much or too little rain during the spring can result in some very tenacious pests. How Flooding can affect Pest Populations Floods can be hazardous to human and animal lives and cause extensive, costly damage to land and property. As delightful as it to think that flooding at least rids us of unwanted pests in and around our homes, the opposite is true.
