Practice Prevention for Better Fire Ant Control


Good fire ant control requires an understanding of what fire ants are looking for. They want a source of food, a source of water, and a place to live. You can control all of those things on your property. Start by eliminating potential nesting sites. Trim your trees and shrubs to ensure that the foliage doesn’t touch your home. If you have mulch or a similar bedding material, turn it every few weeks to keep the amount of moisture it retains lower. Mow your lawn on a regular basis, and remove your grass clippings. What are some other tips you can use to prevent fire ants? Call Slug-A-Bug today at 321-259-7844 for a free consultation. http://bit.ly/2J7WVvU

Why are No See Ums in My Backyard?


While No-See-Ums are a problem throughout the United States, they love both the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. In fact, there are 47 different species in the state of Florida. Eggs are laid in moist soil, which makes them a natural to this area. Like mosquitoes, they need standing water to breed, and if your home has areas that don’t drain well, you may see more of these pests than your neighbors. They also eat nectar, so if you have the perfect combination of a great garden and standing water, you’re absolutely going to have an issue in your yard. Take control with a good pest control plan.
