‘Tis the Season for… Stink Bugs? Protect Your Home This Winter!

Although the cold arrived weeks ago, the official beginning of winter is tomorrow! Winter is a dangerous time of year for homeowners, and not just because of snow and ice. The stink bugs are out in droves and are trying to overwinter in many homes and structures. Absolut Pest Control treats the exterior of the homes to prevent Stink Bugs from getting inside of your home and causing, well, a stink! No one needs that when the family is over visiting for the Holidays!

Also keep in mind that the mice will be very active this winter season due to the mild winter we had last year and they are all looking for a home for the winter. Don’t let them take advantage of you and your home. Make sure your home is prepared this winter for whatever rodents and pests that are trying to escape the bitter cold and snow!

Winter Months Mouse Control Exterminator Amesbury MA Boston

Halloween is next week, Thanksgiving is around the corner and cold temperatures are looming in the Northeast. As the temperatures begin to drop, the cold weather begins to force unwanted rodents indoors. The problems that many people in the Northeast tend to run into are the smaller, cuter mice that can sneak through the tiniest of cracks and intrude your home. The last thing you want is a tiny scurrying mouse running across your dining room floor as your family sits down for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

One reason mice pare a tough pest control problem is because of their small size. All they need is a quarter-inch gap to gain entry into your home and require only miniscule amounts of food and water to survive. As a result, mouse infestations are much more common and difficult to control than rat infestations. Mice infestations are also every bit as hazardous to health and property. Mice eat and contaminate human and pet foods, preferring grains but apparently willing to nibble on almost anything, including your valuables or memory-filled photo albums.

 

Mark sure that your house is secure before the temperatures begin to plummet and force the mine inside. Call Absolut Pest Control today to come take a look at your home or business and find the areas in your house that are vulnerable.

Warm Winter Leads to a Buggy Summer in MA

This past winter was certainly on the warm side and we had hardly any snow. At the time, many residents were thrilled to have a mild winter. Now in July, we are seeing the repercussions. Because weather stayed so warm this summer, it failed to kill off some of the insects that usually die in the summer. This has led to a very buggy summer thus far. Are you noticing bugs or insects taking over your home? Don’t let this happen to you. Call the experts at Absolut Pest control to come secure your house and keep the bugs out!

Many towns throughout Massachusetts are under warming for traces of West Nile Virus being found in Mosquitoes. First it was only found in bird-biting mosquitoes but new news is out that West Nile, or EEE, is now being found in mammal-biting mosquitoes, posing a significant threat to humans. Many communities in Massachusetts are being sprayed to try to kill off the mosquitoes but you should still take measures to protect yourself by bombing your lawn and always carrying bug spray with you incase mosquitoes get bad. Make sure to look up the symptoms for West Nile and be as educated as possible while trying to keep you and your family safe!
