However, once they have already sunk into your skin they will need to be addressed more directly. You will need to apply an antiseptic to any bite/welt areas. This will kill any chiggers that are attached as well as prevent any infection. Chiggers can be hiding in your yard & landscaping.

Rain is great for plants & our lawns but it does something else. It softens and damages wood. This makes fallen logs, tree stumps and parts of your home seem like a good meal. Termites actually eat the wood in your home. If parts of your home are damaged, they're easier to eat and use to sustain their colonies. What can you do? Check areas of your home where there are leaks, or where you know there is standing water or damaged wood. This includes interior wood that might be damaged by leaky pipes, exterior wood that might be damaged by old gutters, and anything damaged by a leaking roof. Termites are hard to detect until they've caused real damage, but these are areas where you might see them, or find the wings they've shed. Call Slug-A-Bug at 321-259-7844 and let our termite experts take care of any problems with termites. https://goo.gl/5n4r4q

While fire Ants bite, it is actually the sting that's painful. Most ants bite and spray an acid on the bite. Lovely, right? But Fire Ants do one better. They bite to get a secure grip on you. It's hard to break, yet the painful part comes from the sting. They'll sting in a semi-circle as they hold onto you, injecting a venom that will create a burning sensation. These stings will later welt up and turn into blisters. Some people are more sensitive to these stings than others. These blisters may also become infected if popped, which could leave permanent scars. Prevent the danger of Fire Ants by calling Slug-A-Bug at 321-259-7844 and schedule your appointment today. https://goo.gl/UZmuji
Whiteflies are harmless to humans, but they carry a number of diseases that can infect plants and can carry diseases from one plant to the next. When you combine this with their feeding and mold propagation, whiteflies become deadly to a garden or vegetable patch. They do have many natural predators, such as ladybugs, so if your garden is lacking natural predators it may also be missing other vital nutrients that attract them. A pest management program for whiteflies is multifaceted. You can’t simply spray your garden with chemicals and hope that it kills whiteflies.

Flour bugs, beetles & moths like to find their way into flour, cereal & baking mixes and can quickly ruin your baking experience.

To avoid bugs in flour bags and containers, make sure the food you purchase hasn't been torn open or had its seal broken. Store them somewhere dry, and use airtight plastic or glass containers when you can. If you find pests in your pantry, call Slug-A-Bug at 321-259-7844 https://goo.gl/ghWdfg

Mosquito prevention means eliminating areas of standing water near and around your home. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing, undisturbed water, even just a shallow puddle that's been lingering. The more of these stagnant pools mosquitoes find, the more they'll breed in your area. If you've got a swimming pool, make sure you maintain it. If you don't, it can become your very own backyard mosquito mega-factory. Don't underestimate the effectiveness of this one key element in mosquito prevention.

Carpenter bees are some of the most amazing and unique animals on the planet, but they’re also a hassle if you've got property that's made from unfinished wood. Carpenter bee prevention is important because carpenter bees live in localized communities. What does this mean? It means that when a female carpenter bee sets up her home, she doesn't build a nest for thousands of other bees. Instead, she builds her own nest and other carpenter bees build their own nests in other locations but in the same area.

To get rid of termites, we need to understand what sort of termite you have first. Termites swarm and shed their wings, so a disposed pair of wings you think nothing of may actually be the first sign that termites have found their new home – your home. As wood gets chewed up, you may also find galleries chewed into your walls or other wooden items. If the chewing is straight through the grain, you've got Drywood termites. If it follows the grain, you've got subterranean termites. Still not sure? Call Slug-A-Bug today at 321-259-7844 for a free evaluation. https://goo.gl/VoiI9l

Give us a call at 321-259-7844 and avoid the ghastly job of removing tons of cockroaches from your home! https://goo.gl/7C8lZA
