Summers in West Palm Beach, FL are hot, sunny, and
notoriously buggy. Although we all want to get out and enjoy the weather and
all that South Florida has to offer, bugs always seem determined to take a bite
out of our fun.
Pest control experts see them all. Here are a few of the
worst offenders of the summertime killjoys.
Ants
There are many different types of ants we have to deal with
in Florida, and none of them are any fun. They invade our homes and picnics in
search of food. While some may bring mostly annoyance, others, like fire ants,
bring pain!
Houseflies
Aside from the buzzing around your bedroom keeping you up at
night, houseflies can also bring disease: typhoid, tuberculosis and dysentery,
just to name a few. Unsightly fly strips and constant swatting can really take
some of the wind out of your summer sails.
Spiders
Some of spiders are harmless, and can even be considered
beneficial, making a meal of other household pests. Others (like widows or
recluses) can be poisonous, and if you or your loved ones are allergic, even
downright dangerous. No matter which type you can encounter, many people will
agree they can be unwelcome.
Bed Bugs
One of the worst pest control problems out there, bed bugs
are more active in the summer. They may have hitched a ride home in your
suitcase after your last vacation or business trip or made their way in on that
sofa you got on Craigslist. Once they're in, they're notoriously difficult to
send packing. Bed bugs see you as their meal tickets, leaving their bite marks
as painful evidence.
Wasps, Hornets and Yellow Jackets
Most of us have encountered one of these stinging pests, and
if you've been stung, you're certainly anxious to avoid having it happen again.
Although they generally sting as a self-defense mechanism, you can't be sure if
you've inadvertently threatened one. People with allergies also fear the wrath
of these pests, and for good reason. If you have allergies to them, carrying an
epi-pen when you're enjoying the Florida outdoors in the summer is a good idea.
When the bugs mentioned above are around in small numbers,
they're easier to take. If, however, you find yourself dealing with a
population in or around your home that is growing unmanageable, it's time to
call a pest control professional. Contact Ambassador Pest Management to come
