With the warmer weather, bugland is heating up and exterminators are in demand.
Erek Gonzalez, a Houston pest control specialist said there is no"slow month" during the summer for exterminators.As summer approaches, Erek Gonzalez, a local pest control service manager at Reliant Pest Management Houston said technicians at the company are expecting to handle at least 16-17 jobs a day – compared to the 10 or 11 they had during the winter months.
Gonzalez said insects that thrive in these conditions in Houston include mosquitoes which are all around, cockroaches and termites usually found in residential areas and millipedes that are often a problem on job sites or developments. According to Keck, in urban residential areas insects are mainly coming into houses as a way to shelter and get away from the warmer temperatures outside. Although residents may think their houses are sealed up tight, even the largest of insects can get into a tiny crack or crevice that a quarter could slip through.
Erek Gonzalez said termites in particular collect in areas of houses where there is damp wood or water damage.Gonzalez said if insects are detected on a property – whether residential or commercial – he first suggests seeing if there is anything about the environment such as finding a crack in the foundation or moving something that would detract the pests from staying.
