A mouse can enter through a space the size of a dime. A rat can work its body through a space the size of a quarter. Do you think your home is safe? As the weather cools, they will be coming in.

It's Rodent Awareness Week! From October 19 – 25, we'll be sharing vital information you need to know about rodents to protect your home and family this fall and winter.

It's usually not a great idea to spray for ants yourself. Generally those over the counter sprays even when they say it's for ants, will potentially make it worse. If you actually have a problem with ants in the house, you should call a pro with pro sprays and pro baits along with experience and expertise.

If you try to kill household ants the wrong way, you may end up splitting the colony and making the problem worse. Wirecutter spoke to experts in pest control and tested different ant baits to find the best strategy. https://nyti.ms/4fT94m2

It's that time again. We're getting into summer so I'll be getting lots of calls for ants coming into homes. Call me immediately and we'll solve that problem. Today, I was assisted by Buddy in my ant inspection. She's a good girl and she's the first of hopefully many cats to be spotlighted as a Sunrise Pest Defense Friend!

I can't tell you how many cases of fleas I've seen over the last month or so. It's been crazy! I promised Beau and Mav that we'd get rid of those fleas. Even though it was the end of a long sweaty day, today's Sunrise Pest Friends both gave me good kisses.
