At one time, there were few poisons used for insect control. DDT was thought to be one of the best chemicals around for many years, until it became clear it was killing more than boll weevils and other crop insects. DDT was first introduced i …
Does Sentricon work to keep termites out of your home? This is a continuing question from homeowners who have concerns about hungry termites. There have been many articles written about the effectiveness of feeding stations and opinions are widely varied.

Black lights were a big fad some years ago, and there are still applications for them at parties and in commercial displays. The black light is also used in bug zappers because insects are mesmerized by it and are drawn to their demise because of its attraction.
Pest Control and Using Black Lights
Pest control specialists use black light UV when they are looking for infestations. Mice or rat urine is detectable with the black light, which is indicative of how many rodents are in a house.

Arizona is noted for its arid climate and sunshine, but many people see it as a place where the problematic bark scorpion lives. Its reputation as America's deadliest scorpion sparks the interest of most people. While there are many of these arachnids living in the state of Arizona, they are not such a problem for everyone.

Death stalker is considered the deadliest scorpion in the world, hence the name. Its home is North Africa and the Middle East. He has a bad temper and grows to as long as 13 centimeters (slightly over 5"). Seldom does the sting from this monster kill anyone, but it is a possibility for older individuals and youngsters.
Another scorpion from the same geographical area is the Arabian fat-tail, and he is responsible for several deaths each year. He isn't as aggressive as his cousin is, but you w …
The amount of damage termites can do to a home is astounding when you think of how tiny these creatures are. What is also incredible is how much of a structure they can eat away before it is noticeable to visual inspection. Because termites can't stand light, they do not want to eat through the outer shell of wood, just everything inside.

One of the best investments in a home is the termite treatment performed at the time the foundation is placed. It is more difficult to treat a home after it is built than during the initial construction, although it is possible. Of course, the initial treatment doesn't last forever, and it is necessary to have yearly checkups, so maintenance is an important part of keeping termites out.
Termite shields were a long time standard for termite control before homes were regularly treated with chem …
Understanding why scorpions do what they do helps in formulating a way to control them. They are technically arachnids (like spiders), not insects, but they do feed on small soft-bodied insects. Additionally, they eat spiders and even their own kind. This is why they are found under things both outside and inside the house. A great place for scorpions to hide is under wood, rock, or brick because insects are found there as a food source.
Stopping these home invaders begins outside by remo …
The effects of Hurricane Katrina are still present in some locations in Louisiana. Many buildings were destroyed, flooded, and washed away forever. Lives were lost and entire families were uprooted because of this act of nature. One creature didn't see as much disruption to its life as humans did. The Formosan termite came back almost as strong after the hurricane as it was before.
