Posted on August 4, 2010 with No Comments

A few days ago, one of our technicians was called out to an apartment to treat for bed bugs.  Little did he know, he would be working with a lot of them. The tech say he found nearly 10,000 of them!  They were all over in every room.  They were on every wall, in every outlet, and behind all the moldings!  Bed bugs have been hitting New York hard, but never have we seen a case like this!  Bed bug cases can get very bad so it is imperative that you call a bed bug exterminator in New York as soon a you can!

Stories From the Field: Watch Out for That Dumpster!

Posted on July 26, 2010 with No Comments

Last week, one of our technicians was servicing a condo complex when he had a run in with a wildlife animal.  The tech was about to pull out of the complex after servicing a condo when he noticed a lady was struggling by the dumpster.  She could not lift her garbage bag up so the tech went over to help her. Right when the lady opened the dumpster a raccoon jumped out and darted past the two.  The lady jumped back and ended up falling down!  The tech helped her up then left the complex.  When you take out your garbage, make be alert of animals!  Rodents love to camp out in the trash so be alert if you go near a dumpster.

On Friday, one of our technicians was called out to check one of the hibachi restaurants we service.   As he crawled under one of the tables, he picked his head up and lightly banged it under the table.  Little did he know his head had hit a glue board which is used to trap mice and he ended up getting the board stuck to his head!  Instead of catching a rat, the glue board caught an exterminator!

Stories from the Field: SPOTTED: A SCORPION!

Posted on July 1, 2010 with No Comments

Yesterday, one of our techs reported a story was that like nothing we had ever heard before.  A customer claimed they spotted a scorpion! A church that we serve called us and told a tech that she spotted a scorpion.  We asked her numerous times “Are you sure?” and she reassured us that she killed one, but threw it out.  She said she has seen another, so we brought out techs in.  We searched the church and found no scorpion, but they are nocturnal so it’s hard to spot them in the the light.  Scorpions live down South in warm, moist areas.  They are poisonous! As the techs were inspecting the building, they notices a lot of other pests that were living there, so it is very possible that a scorpion could live their with the moisture and food.  Our techs have to go back in a few nights so STAY TUNED!

Stories from the Field: Not a Mouse but a Mole!

Recently, one of our techs was called out to do a termite service at one of our customers house.  Since he was already there, our customer asked him to check the rodent trap too.  When she turned on the light in the basement she screamed and said that there was something else in the trap and not a mouse.  The tech looked and said that there was a mole in it.  Once he told her she was ecstatic because she said that a mole had been eating all of her vegetable plants!

Stories from the Field: AH! WHAT IS HE DOING?!

Posted on June 24, 2010 with No Comments

Yesterday, one of our techs had a very funny encounter.  Early in the morning he was called to a customers house to check for wasps nests.  The homeowner came outside and held the ladder as the tech walked up and started to inspect the bottom of the roof.  The tech was in his bee suit and mask so he would not get stung.  While he was up there, he heard a piercing scream.  Startled, he almost fell off the ladder!  The home owners daughter had just woke up and outside her window she saw our tech in his bee suit!  Who was more scared, our tech or the girl?

Yesterday, one of our techs was called out to a home.  He was doing a routine check on a customers home and started to check the cabinets for any pests.  He got around to the counter where the the home owners kept the bread and coffee on, and in that cabinet you won’t believe what he found.  In the very back corner of the cabinet, there was a family of mice!

Stories from the Field: Termite and Ant Cage Fighting!

Posted on June 21, 2010 with No Comments

Today’s story from the field involved a coliseum-like battle! Well, almost.  One of our techs was checking a sentricon station, and inside of it he found termites and carpenter ants fighting!  Though it is rare for humans to see, carpenter ants and termites constantly fight over food.  They are both wood-destroying organisms that usually shelter in the same environments.  Learn more about carpenter ants and termites here.  Termites and Carpenter Antds are an on-going issue in Westchester and New York, so make sure you control them before they eat your house!
