As mentioned the other day on ABC 7 news when our very own James McHale, New York is under attack by Bed Bugs. In the past few days, the New York Post and other New York newspapers have been going crazy over these little critters.

They have been found in the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn DA’s office, and a Times Square movie theater. We are seeing a sharp increase in bed bugs infestations in commercial business.  If you are  a homeowner or business owner, JP McHale Pest Management employs a K9 Bed bug inspection dog.

Stink Bugs Make Their Appearance in Brooklyn

Posted on January 31, 2010 with No Comments

The stink bug has been receiving a lot of press lately now that they are popping up in Brooklyn. Stink Bugs are common in China, Korea and Japan. They found their way to America by means of suitcases and products that are shipped from those countries. The Stink bug gets its name from the foul odor it emits when they are crushed. These stinky bugs are overwintering, which live in the cracks and crevasses of your home in the winter months, and will reappear when the weather becomes warmer. It’s not uncommon to see these pests in your home during these months. Rutgers Professor George C. Hamilton first knew about the stink bug entering America back in 1997, now  this pest can be found all over the east coast, especially in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

The stink bug is similar to the western conifer seed bug.

Check out the New York Times article from 2007, and the New York Post’s article from earlier today.

If you live in the tri state area of New York, New Jersey or Connecticut chances are you or a friend has seen tons of lady bugs today.  You may ask why?

Lady Bugs are an overwintering pest. Over the last few weeks the weather has been getting comer, and over wintering pests such as Lady Bugs enter your home through cracks and crevasses, usually on the sides of your home that get the most sun. Today, because of the rise in temperature, Lady Bugs were tricked into thinking it was spring! They came out in HUGE numbers.  Our phones were very busy, and we apologize for the entended wait times.

To prevent lady bug swarms in your home we recommend you look into our Over-Wintering program that will protect you from many pests such as Lady Bugs.

***DO NOT TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO SQUISH THEM***

The scent from a lady bug that has been squished will attract even more lady bugs!
