Where do bed bugs come from?

Bed bugs, in short, can be anywhere.  Bed bugs are tiny, reddish-brown insects, commonly found in our bedrooms and other living areas.  Due to their unique ability to hide in mattress seams, cracks, furniture and under carpets and rugs, bed bugs may be difficult to find until the bed bug infestation has grown out of control.

So where do bed bugs come from and how did they end up in your house?  Bed bugs love to travel.  Bed bugs hitch a ride to your home in a number of ways including: luggage and clothing from a recent trip, backpacks from school, and guests who may visit your home.

What is the lifespan of a fly?

Many homeowners notice fly infestations around their home and think the flies will die off in a day or two.  The lifespan of a flying insect is dependent on the type of fly and in some cases can be as long as 2 months.  Getting rid of flies quickly is essential as, over the course of their lifespan, flies can rapidly reproduce.  What starts as a small fly problem can quickly grow out of control.  

Typical lifespans of flies and flying insects include: mosquitoes 2 months, houseflies 1 month, midges 3-5 days, fruit flies 30-50 days, and fungus gnats 1-2 weeks.

What is the best spider spray to get rid of spiders?

Spiders are beneficial around the home to control unwanted insects, especially flying insect pests.  Unfortunately, spider webs and spider droppings can make a mess.  Getting rid of spiders quickly is difficult.  While most common insecticides will kill spiders, the insecticide needs to contact the spider’s body to be effective.  Spiders’ long legs make it more difficult for insecticides to get to the spider’s body.

Insecticides sprayed directly on a spider will kill it.  Residual liquid insecticides may not work, though. A more effective option to get rid of spiders may be the application of insecticide dusts.  Dusts will cling to the spiders’ legs and bodies to kill them.  A two-in-one approach is often needed to kill spiders. Use a pole with a duster head to knock down spider webs.  Adding insecticide dust to the duster head will help better control spiders.

How do I find the best pest control near me in Jackson, MS?

Finding the best pest control company or exterminator in Jackson, MS is essential to getting the results you want.  First check the company’s website to learn more about the owner, services, provided, and pricing.  Next check the company’s reviews on Google, Homeadvisor, and Facebook.

After narrowing down your choices to decide on the best pest control company in Jackson, MS, contact the company and request a detailed quote for services.  Ask questions to better understand how the company can best meet your needs.  Finally, talk to existing customers of that company to find out if the pest control company really is the best.

How do I get rid of bed bugs quickly?

Bed bugs are among the most difficult-to-control pests in the U.S.  Due to their unique ability to hide during daylight hours and an increasing resistance to traditional insecticides, bed bugs are hard to kill.  Additionally, bed bugs can rapidly reproduce, turning a small infestation into a serious bed bug outbreak quickly.

Prior to treating your home for bed bugs, bed bug preparation is essential.  Washing all bedding, clothing, rugs and curtains in hot water is necessary.  Removing picture frames and outlet covers from walls, as well as taking furniture apart will also help prepare your home for a bed bug treatment.  Insecticides, insect growth regulators, and bio-pesticides are the most common treatments to get rid of bed bugs quickly.

What kills rats instantly?  Is rat poison the best option?

At the first sign of rats in the home, fast action is needed.  Most homeowners use traps to get rid of rats quickly.  When traps aren’t enough, rat poison is often the next option tried.  Rat poisons are highly effective but also highly toxic to non-target animals and humans.  Extreme caution is recommended.

Rat poisons are usually contained in a bait matrix that is attractive to rats.  Common rat poisons available to homeowners include brands such as Victor, Tomcat, JT Eaton, and RatX.  Rat poisons should always be placed in locked bait boxes that allow only rats to enter and feed on the bait.
