Bed Bug Identification and Control

Bed bugs can be an unnerving experience for anyone. But a basic inspection of your room, mattress and bed can answer many of your questions and help put your mind at ease.

Here are some tips from bed bug expert Cooper Pest Solutions:

•    A physical sample of an actual bug or egg is required to be 100% certain that you have bed bugs
•    Bite symptoms are a good indicator but cannot be diagnosed with 100% certainty
•    The most effective inspections are conducted by a qualified pest management professional


Keeping Ants Out Of Your Kitchen

Ants love sticky spills and crumbs on your counters. Some of the best ways to begin control of these pests are some simple housekeeping measures:

  1. Keep your kitchen clean
  2. Caulk around your windows, plumbing penetrations
  3. Take out your trash daily and wash out your garbage cans weekly
  4. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed and away from your house
  5. Keep food contained to the kitchen area
