Are you welcoming fall with spiders? It is common to notice more spiders in your properties during fall as the temperatures starts dropping down.

Fall is peak mating season for Spiders. Spiders that had hatched in spring have gown during summer and are looking for a partner to mate in fall to lay eggs before winter.

September and October is peak Spider season in USA. Spider’s start invading your homes in search of food and shelter to lay their eggs, spiders that are on webs are usually female spiders and spiders that you see crawling around are male spiders that are in search of female spiders.

Spiders feed on other small insects, so if you have spiders inside your property, it means you also have other pests in your house and you need to find a solution that would control these crawling pests.

At pest control products depot we recommend DIY pest control using an insecticide dust in such situation. When applied correctly following the label, Insecticide dust is often the most effective choice for providing superior control of a broad range of crawling insects. Dusting is economical and provides excellent penetration into hard-to-reach areas, fast knockdown and long-term results.

Drione Dust Insecticide

Drione Dust Insecticide manufactured by Bayer is labeled as Insecticide dust ready-to-use formulation. It consists an active ingredient combined with a finely ground, dry carrier. The particle size in each Bayer dust insecticide is scientifically engineered for ease of application, coverage of treated surfaces, and optimum absorption by crawling pests.

Drione is a desiccant dust approved for use in residences, commercial accounts, food plants and granaries. It provides fast control of ants, cockroaches, spiders and other pests, and will remain effective for up to six months when left undisturbed.

Drione features natural pyrethrum plus amorphous silica gel that is produced from sand and erodes the insect cuticle, causing the pest to die from dehydration.

Drione is an excellent flushing tool that is ideal for pinpointing infestations in hard-to-reach areas. It comes with a cap that also acts as an applicator, simply apply the dust into cracks, crevices and voids where pests may hide.

Any pests that are present will run from the treated area, but they won’t get far due to Drione’s fast knockdown. And with Drione’s long residual, pests will not be able to re-infest the treated area for up to six months, saving you time on future visits.

Cold weather will bring pests indoors. During fall and winter, rodent infestations are very common in the United States.

Rodents are known to spread many diseases such as salmonella and Hantavirus. They can reproduce fast, invading your homes and businesses. They can cause severe damage to your property and even be a potential fire hazard as they can chew electric wires.

If you can identify rodents and find their location sooner rather than later, you can treat them efficiently yourself. #DIYPESTCONTROL

Common Rodents you may come across are:

• Roof Rats: Roof rats are black to brown, they like nesting in trees and upper portion of buildings like ceilings. They are about 7 inches in size.
• House mice: House mice are grey in color and they like to nest in cluttered areas like garages, behind appliances, closets and attics. They are about 4 inches in size.
• Norway Rats: Norway rats are greyish brown in color and they like nesting in borrows and lower portion of building likes basement, sewers. They are about 10 inches in size.

Foul smell, droppings, strange noises, trails of footprints and gnaw marks are main indications you may have Rodents inside your property. Rodents only travel about 25 feet away from their nest. Try finding the nest by inspecting for these signs inside your house.

To help protect against threats from Rodents, NPMA recommends the following tips:

• Insert door sweeps and repair damaged screens.
• Screen vents and openings to chimneys.
• Seal cracks and holes on the outside of the home.
• Replace loose mortar and weather stripping.
• Store food in airtight containers and dispose of garbage regularly.
• Keep attics, basements and crawl spaces well-ventilated and dry.
• Repair leaking pipes and clogged drains.
• Inspect all packaging for damage before bringing into the home.
• Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the home.

For Rodent DIYPESTCONTROL during colder months, Pest Control Products Depot recommends:

Catchmaster 48 WRG Cold Temperature Glue Board Trap

Glue board designed to control rodent problems in cold weather. Provides excellent catch ability down to 30 degrees F. Simply place the Trapper Glue Board along a wall or other rodent runway. Rats and mice will run right into it and stick to the thick glue surface

Buy here on Pest Control Products Depot

Glue traps should never be placed in areas where children or pets may come in contact. In the event of child, pet (or adult) becoming affixed to a glue trap, vegetable-cooking oil will separate the glue from the person or pet.

For best results, place Catchmaster 48 WRG Cold Temperature Glue board Trap directly in the rodent's runway between its nest and food supply -- every 8 to 12 feet (2.4 to 3.6m) for mice and 15 to 30 feet (4.5 to 9m) for rats.

With you and your pets enjoying fall season outside and spending more time outdoors, you are more susceptible to Tick bites. Ticks jump on to the host when you brush against a plant they are present in. They are often found in grass or shrubs.

There are many species of ticks but the most dangerous of them all are the Deer Ticks. Deer ticks are also called Black legged Ticks; they are as tiny as a pinhead in size and are found across the United States.

Bite from a Deer tick can cause Lyme disease, Lyme disease cause flu like symptoms and some people also develop a red ring like rash. Lyme disease usually is treated with antibiotics, but some people experience long-term problems with joints, heart, muscles and nerves continuing for months.

CDC says Lyme disease is most frequently reported from the Upper Midwestern and northeastern United States. Some cases are also reported in northern California, Oregon, and Washington. In 2015, 95% of Lyme disease cases were reported from 14 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

TICK PREVENTION TIPS:

• Some non-chemical techniques that help reduce tick problems include keeping grass and weed cut sort in tick-infested areas. This discourages alternative hosts, such as rodent.
• Removal of clutter and debris on the property will also discourage rodent populations, as will removal of any nesting material left by rodents.
• Wearing long sleeve shirt, pant and shoes when outdoors or hiking.
• Removal of bird nests in and around structures will reduce the number of ticks, especially of soft ticks.
• Fencing of yard and leash laws prevent dog from staying into tick-infested fields, woods and parks. However, where deer populations are high in urban or suburban areas, populations of the deer ticks that are vectors of Lyme disease are also likely to be high in yards, parks, schoolyards, cemeteries and golf courses and around ponds and along streams.
• Screening and sealing house entry points used by tick hosts, such as squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks and bats will also reduce tick problems in and around the home.
• Sealing cracks and crevices where ticks can hide, both inside and on the exterior of home, will aid in management.
• Regular examination and grooming of pets (especially dogs) and frequent cleaning of their bedding, is also strongly recommended.
• Infested pet bedding should be carefully washed or disposed of. The area around the pet bed should be carefully and thoroughly treated.
• Remove the occasional tick found indoor by vacuuming, seal the vacuum bag and place it in the trash.

When a cockroach scuttles across your kitchen floor, identifying its species might not be your first thought. However, recognizing the eight most prevalent types of household cockroaches can guide your approach to control methods.

The presence of a lone roach doesn’t necessarily indicate an infestation, as not all roaches thrive indoors for extended periods. But encountering an American or German cockroach might signal the need to contact a pest control company for an inspection.

Facing a roach infestation can feel isolating, yet it's a common issue. Contrary to popular belief, infestations aren't always linked to cleanliness, as illustrated in a firsthand account shared by one of our writers.

8 Types of Cockroaches

Discovering 8 Common Household Cockroach Varieties: Unveiling Their Appearances, Flight Abilities, and Effective Elimination Methods

1. German Cockroach

Scientific Name: Blattella germanica

Key Features: German cockroaches, prevalent in apartments, homes, hotels, and restaurants, are among the most frequently encountered roaches.

Appearance: These roaches measure approximately 1/2-inch in length, sporting a light brown hue with two distinctive black stripes running vertically behind their heads. While the nymphs resemble adults, they're darker, smaller, and lack wings.

Flight Capability: Adults possess wings but seldom take flight.

Preferred Hideouts: Flourishing in warm, damp environments, German cockroaches typically inhabit kitchens or bathrooms. They seek refuge in cracks and gaps near cabinets, pantries, beneath stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers.

Control Strategies: Using a flashlight after dark, locate where these roaches scuttle and hide. Apply household insecticide sprays directly to these hiding spots. The University of Illinois Extension and Outreach suggests employing baits and specific pesticides like hydramethylnon (such as Combat or Maxforce).

Minor infestations might be managed solely with baits. However, severe infestations call for considering baits alongside residual sprays for effective control. Given their resilient nature, tackling a German cockroach problem, particularly as a DIY endeavor, can be challenging. The investment in a professional exterminator proves worthwhile upon spotting these roaches in your home.

2. American Cockroach

Scientific Name: Periplaneta americana

Notable Traits: The American cockroach ranks second among common cockroach species, often appearing in homes after heavy rainfall.

Appearance: Measuring between 1.5 to 2 inches, this cockroach, also known as a palmetto bug, boasts lengthy antennae. Its shiny reddish-brown hue is accented by a distinct yellow band just behind its head.

Flight Capability: While adult American cockroaches possess wings and sporadically take flight, they primarily prefer scuttling.

Preferred Habitat: Typically dwelling outdoors, these roaches occasionally migrate indoors, favoring warm, damp environments. However, they can adapt to drier conditions with access to water.

Hiding Spots: American cockroaches gravitate towards areas linked to food storage and preparation. They pose a nuisance and health hazard in locales like restaurants, grocery stores, and bakeries. Indoors, they infest spaces such as kitchens, sewers, basements, and crawl spaces.

Control Measures: Seal all indoor and outdoor cracks and crevices, and consider installing door sweeps to prevent their entry. Outdoors, clear dead leaves and keep mulch away from your house to deter infestation.

3. Oriental Cockroach

Scientific Name: Blatta orientalis

Key Features:

• Diet high in starch, eats almost anything.
• Dark brown to black with wings, emits a pungent odor.
• Flight: Despite having wings, unable to fly.
• Habitat: Prefers cool, damp, dark spaces like sewers, basements, and under sinks.

Control Tips:

• Repair leaks promptly, store food in sealed containers.
• Use baits and seal entry points.

4. Brown-Banded Cockroach

Scientific Name: Supella longipalpa

Key Features:

• Prefers warm, dry areas away from water sources.
• Light brown, wings on males, shorter wings on females.
• Flight: Adult males can fly when disturbed.
• Habitat: Upper walls of cabinets, pantries, behind furniture.

Control Tips:

6. Asian Cockroach

Scientific Name: Blattella asahinai

Key Features:

• Similar to the German cockroach but with distinct wing differences.
• Strong fliers attracted to light sources.
• Flight: Can fly up to 120 feet when disturbed.
• Habitat: Outdoor in moist areas, enter homes attracted to lights.

Pests are a common nuisance in many households across the United States. They can cause damage to property, spread diseases, and create an unhygienic living environment. In this article, we will discuss some of the most common pests in the USA and provide effective solutions to deal with them.

1. Ants

Ants are one of the most common pests found in American homes. They are attracted to food and water sources and can quickly infest your kitchen and pantry. To deal with ants, it is important to keep your kitchen clean and free of crumbs and spills. Sealing cracks and crevices can also prevent ants from entering your home. If the infestation is severe, consider using ant baits or seeking professional pest control services.

2. Termites

Termites are a major concern as they can cause extensive damage to wooden structures. Look out for signs of termite infestation such as mud tubes, damaged wood, or discarded wings. Regular inspection and maintenance of your property can help prevent termite problems. If you suspect termite activity, it is best to consult a professional pest control company for effective treatment.

3. Cockroaches

Cockroaches are not only unsightly but also carry diseases and allergens. They thrive in warm and humid environments and are commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms. To eliminate cockroaches, maintain cleanliness, seal cracks and gaps, and store food in airtight containers. Using baits, traps, or insecticides can help control a cockroach infestation.

4. Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are not just annoying, but they can also transmit diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus. To reduce mosquito populations, eliminate standing water sources such as birdbaths, flower pots, and clogged gutters. Use screens on windows and doors and apply mosquito repellents when spending time outdoors.

5. Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small insects that feed on human blood and can cause itchy bites. They are often found in beds, furniture, and luggage. To prevent bed bug infestations, regularly inspect your bedding and furniture, wash your linens in hot water, and vacuum frequently. If you have a severe infestation, professional pest control treatment may be necessary.

Conclusion

Dealing with pests in your home can be a challenging task. By understanding the common pests in the USA and implementing preventive measures, you can protect your home and family from these unwanted invaders. Remember, if the pest problem persists or becomes unmanageable, it is advisable to seek professional help.

Bed bugs can be a nightmare to deal with, but with the right approach, you can get rid of them for good. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about how to get rid of bed bugs.

Identifying Bed Bugs

The first step to getting rid of bed bugs is to identify them. Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that are about the size and shape of an apple seed. They're often found in and around beds, but they can also be found in other areas of the home.

Preparation

Before you begin treatment, it's important to prepare your home. Here's what you'll need to do:

• Remove clutter from your home: this will make it easier to find and treat bed bugs.
• Wash all bedding and clothing in hot water: this will help to kill any bed bugs that may be present.
• Vacuum your home thoroughly: this will help to remove any bed bugs and their eggs.

Treatment Options

There are several treatment options available for getting rid of bed bugs. Here are a few:

• Insecticides: these can be used to kill bed bugs, but they should be used with caution and only as directed.
• Heat treatment: bed bugs can't survive at temperatures over 120 degrees Fahrenheit, so heat treatment can be an effective way to get rid of them.
• Freezing: bed bugs can also be killed by freezing them at temperatures below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Steam treatment: steam can be used to kill bed bugs and their eggs.

Preventing Bed Bugs

Once you've gotten rid of bed bugs, it's important to take steps to prevent them from coming back. Here are a few tips:

• Use bed bug-proof mattress and box spring covers: these covers can help prevent bed bugs from infesting your bed.
• Be cautious when traveling: bed bugs can hitch a ride on your luggage, so be careful when traveling.
• Inspect second-hand furniture: bed bugs can be hiding in second-hand furniture, so inspect it carefully before bringing it into your home.

House mice can invade properties and can be a severe threat. They do not hibernate and are active even during colder temperatures, thus being one of the major winter pests.

These rodents are grey or brown rodents with relatively large ears and small eyes and an adult is about 5 to 7 inches long, including the 3- to 4-inch tail.

House mice live in and around homes, farms, commercial establishments, as well as in open fields and agricultural lands. The onset of cold weather each fall in temperate regions is said to cause mice to move into structures in search of shelter and food.

House mice are considered as a threat to human beings as they cause both structural damage and health issues.

• House mice consume and contaminate food meant for humans, pets, livestock, or other animals. In addition, they cause considerable damage to structures and property, and they can transmit pathogens that cause diseases such as salmonellosis, a form of food poisoning.

• Micro droplets of mouse urine can cause allergic in children. Mice can also bring fleas, mites, ticks and lice into your home. 

• Structural Damage: Mice will gnaw upon wall and attic insulation, electrical wiring, and containers of stored human and animal foods. Stored items may also be gnawed upon.

Three elements are necessary for a successful trying prevent mice. Sanitation measures, building construction and rodent proofing, and, if necessary, population control.

When food, water, and shelter are available, rat populations can reproduce and grow quickly. While the most permanent form of control is to limit food, water, shelter, and access to buildings, direct population control is often necessary.

Some products that are helpful to catch House mice to help with population control are:
