Black widow always strives to improve as new scientific data emerges for rodent control. Our employees are always training to provide the best pest management service with a scientific approach to solving and controlling rodent problems. Thank you to the legendary Dr Robert Corrigan for a fantastic training seminar on the new rodent control IPM standards. We also welcomed NYC Rat tsar Kathleen Corradi who stopped by our seminar to hear recommendations from our team on improved rodent control standards.

The Three Blind Mice. You might recognize that as a children’s novel, but mice and most rodents are almost completely blind! Rodents rely on smell to communicate and travel. Rodents will leave behind sebum trails (dark rub marks, see second photo) along with leaving pheromones in their excrements to inform other rodents if the area is safe, a food source, shelter, etc. it’s important that you always wipe away these areas if you have an active rodent infestation to deter rodent from returning. However the best defense is having a licensed pest control specialist service your dwelling at least 1x a month.

Black Widow prides itself on being a step ahead of the competition. We are happy to announce to be partnering with Dow/Corteva on utilizing their “ActiveSense” pest/rodent monitoring system. Not only will it allow us to further promote IPM, but it will take a large burden off our essential staff in knowing exactly where the main hotspots of rodents and pests are without the needless bending and inspection of devices that are not getting activity. It’s a Win Win, along with providing valuable data to our clients and our management staff on taking necessary steps to keep your home, office, public building or park safe from rodents and pests! More news to follow! We are very excited for this.

Starting today we are going to do weekly highlights.. who knows maybe we’ll do 2x a week highlights. Today we highlight one of our techs, Malvin who is one of our expert rodent trappers. Consistent service is the best way to eliminate rodents as they reproduce rapidly. This is a site we service weekly with both mechanical traps and rodenticide. Part of IPM is incorporating physical controls and not only relying on poison control. Better for the environment too! And of course, Mask up!!
