Getting Antsy?

Do you ever wonder why the “over-the-counter” sprays and ant baits don’t work?

You see ants on the kitchen counter, run to the store and after surfing the ever growing pesticide section for the “sure-fire” cure-all product you purchase it and head home. Optimistically, you follow the directions to place the bait station or spray where you see the ant trails. For a few days you are impressed with your DIY solution only to see more ants a week later in a new area of your kitchen! Here’s why...

Starting with sprays; you can kill a few hundred ants on the counter or window sill, but there could be 10,000 per colony in the ground outside. The sprays available are repellent insecticides that will stop the activity locally and kill ants that contact the surface, but will not stop the droves of workers that will be foraging around the treated areas of the kitchen.

Baits are just the opposite, they are attractive. Using a food attractant with a small amount of insecticide, the bait hopes to kill the ants by poisoning the colony including the queen(s). This is a sound method, so why does it fail? Baits typically have too high a percent of active ingredient. When worker ants ingest the bait to later feed the colony, they can, and often do die before they return to the nest. Placing bait is a technique that requires finding a suspected nesting site and placing the bait as near to the colony as possible. This ensures the workers do not die before feeding the rest of the nest including the queen(s). Most* ants live in the ground outside, placing baits inside will only reinforce pheromone trails and encourage more foraging ants to follow, while never really killing more than a few hundred foragers at a time.

It’s carpenter bee season. Did you know carpenter bees are solitary and don’t live in nests? The female drills a hole about the size of a dime in usually untreated wood. She will deposit 4 to 5 eggs in separate cells and pack them with pollen for the larvae to eat when they hatch next season. The males don’t have stingers but scare people with their aggressive behavior defending the female from other male suitors. The females have stingers but rarely use them as she is too busy pollinating. These bees are harmless and great for our planet.

Did you know that little black box that your pest provider put in your basement utility room or garage is NOT a rodent trap? Many times I inspect a home and find rodent bait stations placed by a previous pest provider in homes. The owners call them traps and are seemingly unaware that they are in fact stations with a poison in them. Forget the fact that mice will eat this poison and die in wall voids causing smells and potential insect problems that may be impossible to reach, but the risk to pets and people is real! The plastic stations are locked and are considered tamper resistant but NOT tamper proof! Many companies place bait inside to avoid the expense of follow-up trips to check and reset traps. Baiting should be used outside only to control a mouse population before they get in. Good inspection to determine and repair entry points and a good trapping and follow-up program is the proper rodent control method.

We are starting to cool off and as the weather changes and natural food and pest harborage die off, pests will be heading inside for the winter. This is a critical time to seal cracks, clear yard debris, and check your doors and windows. A little prevention now can stop over-wintering pests from invading your home this winter.

The time is NOW...

As the temperature drops and fall sets in, natural food sources and suitable harborage for mice disappear. They will soon be looking for a winter getaway. A failing seal around your A/C return like this can be an invitation to cold and hungry mice. Inexpensive repairs could save hundreds of dollars in damage and removal later.

If your Pest Control provider is not at the very least pointing these egresses out during their routine visits, consider Dynamic Pest Solutions. Call today for a proactive pest program to stop mice before they come in...

Number 1 suggestion for handling a Bedbug infestation: DO NOT SELF-TREAT!

Increasingly I have found homeowners attempting to treat a Bedbug infestation on their own (in one case for 3 years). The promotion and marketing of DIY products online and in stores are directly responsible for prolonging the problem. What could’ve been handled in 1-2 treatments over a 2 week period will take 2-3 months for homes that have been heavily sprayed, fogged, or dusted with over-the-counter sprays.

I have definitely helped homeowners that are DYI types with simple and effective pest prevention tips. In the case of Bedbugs, I would ALWAYS recommend a professional. You will save money and time and sleep a lot better.. faster!

Did you know...
Paper Wasps are building right now. Nests can be small with only one or two wasps working furiously through June and July to grow the nest quickly until there can be as many as 30-50 in one nest. I will usually get the call after someone has the misfortune of being stung. While all pollinators are beneficial, when bees and wasps encroach on our living areas, it can be dangerous. Having nest removed now can prevent the risk of painful encounters later in the summer. Call Dynamic Pest Solutions today for a free estimate.

There are a few things they got wrong in this article. Many times I get calls by frustrated people that have tried the over-the-counter methods described in this article. The ant species we have in Northern Virginia are small and live in the ground outside. Applying baits inside, will only reinforce trails and never make it back to the queen by the forging workers.

Mosquito Craze...
Now that the weather is warming, BEWARE! The onslaught of mosquito activity is second only to the onslaught of “Mosquito Joe Jim Bob” signs you will see popping up all over Northern Virginia.

-Consumer Reports “There’s been a proliferation of companies that are doing mosquito control right now,” says Stanton Cope, president of the American Mosquito Control Association. “You see them all over the place. But some of them are much more professional than others.” In fact, consumer affairs bureaus across the U.S. are on high alert for companies that spray without proper licensing, experience, or equipment.

Common questions I get every year:

Q. Do Mosquito treatments work?
A. Mosquitoes breed in water. Their numbers specifically depend upon the availability of these breeding sites (Mother Nature). Many companies offer monthly routine treatments during the season. These adulticide treatments are DEPENDENT on activity at the time of treatment as they will only last for a few days to a week. If our area has a few days of rain immediately after a treatment, it is likely you will have more mosquito activity than before.

Q. What works?
A. ANY serious mosquito reduction program should include an integrated approach to address breeding site modification, larvaecide treatments, and TARGETED adulticide treatments. Treatments are most effective when done 1-2 days prior to planned outdoor activity or several days after heavy rain storms. Routine treatments are like playing darts blindfolded.

Q. What are some DIY ideas?
A. The BEST thing homeowners can do is to eliminate possible breeding sites around the property. Often during the spring and summer I find standing water in kiddie pools, unused flower pots, tires, sandboxes, and old hoses where mosquitoes are actively breeding. Keep foliage trimmed. Mosquitoes will loaf on low hanging leaves on trees and shrubs. Repellents and proper clothing during outdoor activities, is not only good common sense but effective.

Consider that mosquitoes are flying insects that can travel 1-3 miles. Treating your yard is not going to put a forcefield around your property. The cost, pesticide use, and effectiveness of routine mosquito treatments, may not be the best solution.

Spring is for the Birds..

As the weather warms up, migratory birds will start to build their nests. Dynamic receives an increase in calls for birds in dryer and bathroom vents this time of year. We DO NOT/CANNOT handle bird removal. Did you know it is ILLEGAL to remove migratory birds once they’ve built their nest! The Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act was passed in 1918 and has only a few exceptions. These birds can leave, not only a mess of nesting materials, abandoned eggs and f***s, but birds mites and other parasitic insects can infest your home.

What can you do...
1. Check your vents NOW before birds start nesting.
2. Replace broken vent covers and Chimney caps.(see pic)
3. If you have birds nesting, check with a WILDLIFE control company before removing as special permits may be necessary.
4. Call Dynamic to inspect and/or treat for Bird mites.

Spring is coming! Does your landscaper use mulch from a bulk outlet? Mulch from these plies harbor ants, cockroaches, beetles, stink bugs and many more common pests. These insects use these piles to survive the winter. In the pest control industry we see an increase in calls after re-mulching is done. NOW is the time to get ahead of these unwanted pests!

Bed bug Travel Tips..
When checking in to a Hotel, take a minute to do a cursory inspection of the room...
Check box spring, mattress, headboard and nightstand for signs of bed bugs ie live bugs, dead bugs, caste skins, or f***l markings (see pic)
If you find evidence DON’T panic or post a bad review as ALL hotels (even 5 star) have to deal with this problem through little or no fault of their own. Politely report it to management and ask for another room.
Do not place luggage on bed but place on desk or bathroom vanity
Do not unpack luggage but rather hang items in closet or leave in luggage. (Generally Dressers are not routinely inspected by staff)

Returning home...
If you feel you may be at risk of transporting bugs, unpack all washable items at your laundry area for immediate wash and dry on high heat for a minimum of 45 minutes in the dryer.
Visually inspect items that cannot by washed or dried. If bugs are found, do not bring into your home. Physically remove bugs using a vacuum or other means.
Luggage should be inspected before storing and can be treated with alcohol* to kill any surface bugs found.

Note: Bed bugs survive by feeding on us. They can survive months without feeding. It is for this reason that most people do not immediately notice an infestation after vacationing but rather 2-3 months later.

*Alcohol is FLAMMABLE follow precautions on label.

Self Treating For Bedbugs?

For most pest issues, there are some control methods that you can do yourself safely and effectively. I would NEVER recommend self-treating for bedbugs. The available "over-the-counter" products are very repellent and can actually make the problem worse by driving the infestation deeper into the walls and fixtures. Traps and lures are largely ineffective and costly while making outrageous claims.

ALWAYS CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL

In consulting a pest professional, be sure to inform them if you have self-treated as this could seriously impact their treatment protocols.
