Best Pest Control

Winter time means good riddance to pest problems, right? Actually... that's not quite accurate. Although we see the majority of pest related problems during the summer, that doesn't mean they are completely gone in the winter. In fact, the cold weather actually makes pests more likely to seek warmth and shelter in your home. So, which pests should we be aware of this winter?  Best Pest Control  shares with you the most common pests we see throughout the winter months. 1. Rodents During the winter, rodents, such as rats and mice, enter homes more often in search of shelter and warmth. They will find their way in by squeezing through holes the size of a quarter or climbing up drain pipes. Not only are they causing damage to your home by gnawing on furnishings and building materials, they also pose a health risk to your family. Exposure to their urine and droppings can transmit serious diseases such as salmonella, hantavirus and infection. 2. Cockroaches If you were hopi...

Winter may do wonders for getting rid of many Missouri pests. However, it's also a time when other pests find their way into our homes to hide from the cold. Unfortunately, spiders are one of those pests. While spiders may not do as much damage as some pests (like termites), we do not like seeing them in our homes. Especially when that spider is dangerous, such as brown recluses or black widows, whose bites can cause severe reactions.  Best Pest Control  wants to help you avoid running across a spider in your home this winter. Here are a few tips to help you keep spiders out of your home. Prevent Spiders In Your Home The best way to prevent spiders from getting into your home is to make sure you don't have an environment that attracts them. Spiders will most likely make their homes outside in plants, piles of leaves or wood or undisturbed places like old tires or buckets. When you have these items next to your home, it makes it easier for them to wander inside. If ...

Best Pest Control is sharing with you some info on identifying an infestation and getting rid of them once and for all. How to Check for Bed Bugs Bed bug bites are often misattributed to fleas, spiders and mosquitoes. The best way to check for bed bugs is to examine your bed and furniture. You'll want to look for small specks of blood, especially near seams and crevices. Bed bugs use pheromones to communicate with each other. Therefore, if you can smell a sweet and musty odor, you may have an infestation. Du...
