Bed Bugs Fact Sheet

What are bed bugs?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC, bed bugs pose little health
risk. Bed bugs are not effective carriers of disease. Generally, the most that is likely to occur
when a person is bitten by a bed bug is inflammation associated with their bites due to allergic reactions to components in their saliva. Bed bugs possess stink glands and emit a distinctive odor (it is said to resemble the aroma of rotten raspberries and moldy shoes); homes or motel/hotel rooms with heavy infestations may have this odor. Bed bugs are about ¼ to ⅓ inch in length.

Most preventative procedures in private residences are common sense hygienic suggestions:

• Wash bedding regularly with hot water. Bedding can also be left outdoors on warm or
  extremely cold days to kill bed bugs.
• Vacuum bedding, curtains, cushions and furniture regularly.
• Don’t bring discarded mattresses, bedding and upholstered furniture into your home.
  Thoroughly inspect any used items you bring in your home.
• Repair any cracks in flooring and walls.
• If you think you have bed bugs on clothing, remove items and place in a plastic bag until
  you can wash the clothing. Wash and dry clothing on highest allowable setting for fabric
  or discard.
• When traveling, inspect bedding, couches and other upholstered furniture and avoid if
  signs of bed bugs are present. Visible small blood stains and bug feces can indicate
  infestation. Store suitcases off of the ground.
• Contact a licensed pest control company for infestation.

Pool Safety Tips from All Out Pest Control

As we come into the summer season, here a few Pool Safety reminders:

~Completely fence the pool area. Effective barriers and locks are important for blocking access to the pool.

~Don’t use a pool with its cover partially in place. Children and adults can get trapped under it.

~Keep all toys away from the pool area since small children playing with the toys could accidentatlly fall into the water.

~Make sure to have a telephone handy with all emergency numbers close by.

Above all, adult supervision is the most important and effective way to decrease accidents in the pool. We hope everyone has a safe and fun summer.

Grasshoppers Popular This Season

You may have already noticed that there are a lot more grasshoppers around this year. Due to the large amount of rain we have experienced recently, there are many more unattended weeds and as you may know grasshoppers love weeds. Make sure to remove any weeds you may have and that will help deter grasshoppers from coming around your home. As always, if you have any questions feel free to give us a call!

Spring Pest Control Tips

Well folks, spring is here. It is time to think about all the bugs that will soon be around your house this time of year. It is best to make sure no extra foliage is growing around your home. Remove any bricks, wood or any other piles around the outside near the foundation. Bugs like to harbor there. Do a visual inspection and look for any cracks or crevices where bugs can enter the house. Make sure doors and windows are sealed correctly. Most importantly, if you see any bees or wasps, don’t try to get rid of them on your own. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call @ 623-915-1814 or send me an email.

Happy Spring!
