Question 1

I’ve tried sprays and “bombs” to eliminate cockroaches in my house, but this hasn’t worked. What’s the next step?

Accepted Answer

Cockroaches are incredibly resilient and tough to eradicate because they can survive on just about anything and live just about anywhere. Keeping your living area, like a kitchen floor, as clean as possible is a good step toward minimizing their presence, but they may be coming in from outside looking for food. If over the counter remedies and at-home treatments have failed, it’s time to call in a professional pest control service to address the infestation more accurately.

Question 2

Is there a “child friendly” spray that will get rid of the bugs in our house?

Accepted Answer

Eliminating bugs from your house is usually a multi-step process that requires the elimination of food sources, nesting areas, and entry points, among other factors. It is unlikely that one spray will solve all of these issues.

Your best bet is to call a professional pest control service that can diagnose the cause of the problem and treat the root of it with child and environmentally-friendly products.

Question 3

How do I identify termites?

Accepted Answer

Termite behavior varies by region, but you may be able to spot termite swarms in the air during early spring. They look a lot like flying ants. Spotting their wreckage is a bit easier, with telltale signs including soft wood in the home, mud tubes left around the interior or exterior of the home, and the darkening or blistering or wood structures. Pay extra attention to the foundation!

Question 4

How expensive is termite damage?

Accepted Answer

As the saying goes, there are two types of homes: homes that have termites, and homes that will have termites. While they are a particularly destructive species, causing around $5 billion in property damage each year, they can also be efficiently controlled through professional treatment.

Question 5

As a homeowner, what can I do to prevent termites?

Accepted Answer

Termites are looking for a moist environment to live, so the most important step you can take is to remove these conditions from your home and property. Make sure that water doesn’t collect around the foundation of your home, and ensure that downspouts, gutters, and other mechanisms to divert water away from the home are properly functioning.

Use dehumidifiers and fans to cut down on humidity in crawl spaces and attics. Manicure and maintain shrubs, vines and other growth outside the home to make sure that vents are free and clear. If there are old boards, stakes, or other construction materials around the property, be sure to remove them. This goes for old tree stumps and roots, as well. Crucially, eliminate any direct contact between wood and soil, ideally aiming for an 18-inch gap between the two at any point around your home. Also, keep up with routine inspections of your foundation and home! The earlier you spot termite presence, the better.

Question 6

What is the most effective way to treat a termite problem?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic pest control is committed to providing the safest, most effective treatment solutions for all pest issues, termites included! What’s most effective will depend on the severity of the infestation you are dealing with, the species of termite, where you live, and the particulars of your home or building.

Our trained and licensed pest control operators can assess each one of these factors and use their findings to recommend a thorough treatment plan to control termite presence.

Question 7

Is it dangerous to try to control stinging insects myself?

Accepted Answer

Yellow jackets and many other types of stinging insects are social species and will sting to protect themselves and their colonies. These insects give off pheromones that cause others in the colony to sting as well. This chain reaction can turn into a dangerous situation and is one that should only be faced by a pest control professional.

Question 8

What do you use to treat for mosquitoes?

Accepted Answer

Many homeowners erroneously believe that all pest management professionals do is spray products to treat their homes. This is simply not true anymore. Dynamic uses an Integrated Pest Management or IPM approach. IPM controls pests by getting rid of the three things they need to survive: food, shelter and water. And consumer education is a vital part of any IPM program. This approach consists of inspection, identification of the pests, employment of two or more control measures, and evaluation of effectiveness through follow-up inspections.
