Bed Bug Epidemic

There is a lot of scare around bed bugs and the rising accounts of it in the US, and the scare is justified. Bed bugs are very difficult to control and spread very fast if not kept in check. Regular pest control treatments are not enough to keep these pests at bay. Pest management professionals charge a pretty penny when bed bugs become an infestation. If you have a concern about bed bugs it is best to call early and react quickly if signs point to ‘yes’.

Bed bug dogs are a very effective way to search for bed bugs, both to prevent and follow up on pest control treatments for bed bugs. To learn more about bed bug dogs contact AJ Richards – http://www.specialtypest.com/

Can Cockroaches Jump? Meet the Leaproach.

December 7th, 2011 No comments

Yes. The cockroach can jump… well at lest the Leaproach can jump, and up to 50 times it’s own length!

 

But this unique roach is the only 1 of ~4000 known roach species that can jump. While a few roach cousins like the American Cockroach are equipped with wings and do fly, the Leaproach has no wings. The secret to the roach jumpers success lies in it’s knees, modified with rubber-band-like resilin. Other differences from most cockroach species are in the antennae and eyes. The antennae also have an additional fixation point to apparently help with navigation. The eye’s are more rounded, perhaps an aerodynamic feature, and larger, possibly helping in sight for better landing. Oh one more distinction of honor for this particular roach…

And if you need Phoenix Roach Control then try Bulwark Exterminating… Shameless I know.
