Smithtown – March 19, 2012 – Termites damage more homes than fires, earthquakes and storms combined. They attack in every state but Alaska, infesting five million homes every year. Yet termite damage is rarely covered by homeowners’ insurance.
Birds can be destructive to Long Island private and commercial properties.
Even after a mild winter, spring is a time to clean. Overwintering and hibernating pests are preparing to wake up, and your home should be prepared against any infestations.
Please! We don’t want anyone to be hurt! Bees, wasps and other stinging pests are appearing in greater and greater numbers this summer. While you can’t avoid these insects completely, you can do some things to avoid being stung. After all, not everyone owns a bee suit!
What are those ants? If your ants smell like lemons or lemon verbena or citronella odor when crushed, you might have citronella ants. These ants are usually noticed when they swarm. The flying ants appear in large groups (or swarms) any time of year. Citronella ants can enter through openings around your doors or through expansion cracks in homes on a cement slab.
Because they come in large colonies, ants are difficult to control. We know they enter the home for two reasons: to forage for food and find shelter.
