Integrated Pest Management

Our Pest Management Professionals start with a free inspection of the property and customizes a program to fit your needs.
B&B Exterminating’s pest control treatment includes removing spider webs around the perimeter of the house or office. Special attention must be paid to windows and doors, but the entire perimeter must be checked. Our professionals will have their web removal brush treated with insecticide so that any spider contacted will be eliminated.
Once the webs have been removed a residual pesticide formulation will be applied to all the possible pest entry points. These would include windows, doors, vents that extend through the wall, pipes, or electric lines that travel through exterior walls, and any other possible access points for pests.
Next, a B & B professional will treat mulch beds with a granular insecticide formulation that will slowly release insecticide into the area that breeds most of the occasional invaders that homeowners deal with.
While the treatments described above are being performed, our professionals are looking for other pest problems such as rodents, stinging insects living in or around the structure, wood destroying insects, such as carpenter bees, and wood borers, creating holes in wood or termites building mud tunnels on the foundation.
Once the exterior is treated, we would move to the inside of your home or office. In discreet locations around the interior, our professionals will place pest monitors. Some of these monitors have pheromone lures in them and some are just sticky surfaces with an attractive scent. These monitors will allow our professionals to be pro-active and treat infestations before they get out of control.
The interior of your home or office will be inspected, areas conducive to pest infestations will be identified and if possible, eliminated. Our interior treatment will target pests such as roaches, ants, silverfish, spiders, earwigs, and more. B&B tries to minimize indoor applications so no more insecticide than is necessary will be applied inside your home.
Our service order will note areas of concern so that we can follow up during future visits. Usually, a pest control program with a very thorough initial treatment and subsequent quarterly or annual visits works well for residential customers. However, in some situations monthly service may be required to gain control.

Earwigs
Flat bodied insects that are reddish brown in color with pincers on their abdomen. These insets may or may not have wings and are typically around one quarter of an inch to one half of an inch in length. Earwigs are nocturnal and like to hide in tight crevices inside your home during the day. They prefer moist areas so they may enter your home and be found in moist areas such as the kitchen, bathrooms, and attics. Don’t be surprised if you also see them on your walls, ceilings, or window frames. Earwigs feed on plants and other insects inside your house.
To help prevent earwigs, B&B Exterminating recommends sealing any gaps in your windows and doors, reduce as much moisture and damp areas as possible from the interior and around the exterior of your home. Move any wood pilings or leaves away from the exterior of your home. Make sure your rain gutters and downspouts are working properly to provide the proper drainage. When these are not enough, call our Pest Management Professionals to help eliminate these unwanted pests.
