Don’t Risk Getting Stung: Hire Expert Wasp and Bee Removal in Phoenix


Some insects eat other insects, which makes them useful especially when the insects they eat are harmful to your home. Wasps are among the insects that are known to feed on other insects, usually bugs, caterpillars, and spiders. On one hand, they seem helpful because they eliminate other harmful insects from your surroundings, however, they can become a dangerous – and in some cases, deadly – kind of pest. Why are wasps dangerous? There are over 100,000 species of wasps, 30,000 of which are still unidentified. The three types of wasps—parasitic, solitary hunting, and social—can be very troublesome not just to other insects, but to humans as well. Their powerful stings can paralyze their prey in an instant, and when used on humans, can trigger a serious allergic reaction that can be fatal in some cases.

Just How Common Are Bed Bugs? Alarming Pest Statistics to be Aware Of


Bed bugs are among the most common pests in homes, be it Phoenix or beyond. The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) released some worrisome statistics about these creepy crawlies, from the results of the 2015 Bugs without Borders Survey. It seems that the insects are quite at home in the modern environment as 99.6 percent of all professional pest exterminators have dealt with them in the past year. The number hasn’t changed from 2013, but is significantly higher than 15, 10, or 5 years ago. Another consistent point are the top places where bed bugs are found, which are motels/hotels (75 percent), single-family homes (93 percent), and condominiums/apartments (95 percent). In addition, the bugs are also found in high numbers in places such as public transportation, nursing homes, schools, offices, college dormitories, and even hospitals.

Pest Control Pros on the Troubling Reality behind Cockroach Bites


There are things in this world more dreadful than a cockroach on your dinner table. Among these is a cockroach biting you in your sleep. As omnivores, cockroaches feed on both plants and meat. They rarely feed on live meat, though, because they are scavengers. This means they are more enticed to take a pinch off parts made of dead skin cells such as eyelashes and brows, callouses, and finger/toenails. What Do They Eat? Cockroaches are naturally afraid of humans, which is why they feed only at night and find refuge in dark, narrow crevices. And even if winged roaches fly towards you, it’s simply their panicky reaction to the air currents, vibrations, and “scary” actions humans make. You’re more likely to be a part of their menu while you’re asleep and they can freely feast on your dead skin cells and on whatever leftover crumbs you may have on your lips or fingers.

Phoenix Bee Removal: What a Homeowner Must Know About Paper Wasps


Paper wasps are named as such because of how their nests are constructed. Those familiar honey-comb like nests we often see attached on eaves and ceilings are actually made of plant material processed with the insects’ saliva to achieve a paper-like effect. Unlike other species, wasp nests have no outer shell so the cells in which they keep their food and young are pretty exposed. The queen usually builds her nest on the onset of spring. For people, paper wasps can be considered both a blessing and a curse from nature. These critters aid natural pollination by feeding on nectar and help control pest populations by hunting other insects such as caterpillars and feeding these to their larvae. As the larvae grow, they help expand the nest to accommodate future generations.
