Mice in the Basement

Today we got a call from a customer stating that they had found mouse droppings in their basement, and had even seen a live mouse in the kitchen. We were able to get there the same day, set up a combination of bait stations, traps, and we found 2 entry points that we sealed up. This customer, who’s house is in Shaker Heights, is very afraid of mice, and was extremely grateful that we were able to respond to her issue so quickly.

Fall is in the air!

We are just over halfway through the month of September, and the feeling of fall is already here. If you are thinking to yourself “where did summer go” you are not alone. Now that the cooler temperatures of fall are here, this means that you will begin to see different types of pest problems in your home. The three most common things you will see this time of year are ants, mice, and spiders. There are many names for the small ants that invade your home this time of year, and they are drawn in by the warmth, and any food source, which is why they are often found in the kitchen. Mice come into your house for the same basic reasons as ants do, they are seeking warmth, and food as both of these become more and more scarce as the weather gets colder. Spiders are more prevalent in the colder months due to the increase of other bug activity inside during these months, as the insects are their food source. Before your house gets overrun by ants, mice, and spiders, give us a call at 216-348-3379 for a free quote, and to schedule an appointment.

Hornets at a Golf Course Club House!

Today we received a call from a golf course in Kent that had hornets flying around inside their club house, needless to say this is not a good situation. Our technicians were able to get there within hours of them calling, to assess, and take care of the situation. Upon arrival we found that they had made one of the most common mistakes when it comes to yellow jackets, they had caulked them into their nest, leaving the only exit into the clubhouse. Many people think if they can not get out, they will just die, but what happens is they find a way out, usually into the building, and you end up with a whole nest worth of yellow jackets inside. While there we also identified 2 additional nests that could lead to potential problems, and were able to take care of those as well. If you have hornets, wasps, or yellow jackets building a nest in your wall, do not do anything, call us at 216-348-3379, and we will take care of it for you.

Large Spider Found In Ohio

The Carolina Wolf Spider is a large silver haired spider, that is approximately the size of your palm!! If you have arachnophobia this is one you definitely would not like to come across. While they are intimidating to look at, they are not a spider that is likely to bite, they are more inclined to flee when approached by something larger than them. They may bite if they feel threatened, and are unable to escape the threat. Click the link below for an article about the spider that was found in Ohio.

Captured Yellow Jackets

Today we arrived at a house where the customer told us they had a large Hornet nest growing in the front pillar of their house in Solon, we found that it was a very big, very active Yellow Jacket nest. Our technicians were able to vacuum up a large number of the yellow jackets (see below) in order to freeze, then send off to a company that makes a vaccine for people that are allergic. We were then able to leave a residual for any that were not captured during the vacuuming, this nest was very large, and could have led to issues had it been let go. If you have any bee, hornet, or wasp issues just give us a call at 216-348-3379.
