Nashville, TN (PRWEB) August 30, 2014
As a homeowner it can be expected that at one point or another, a bug or spider will make their way into your home. For the most part, while unpleasant, the majority of pests arent harmful to your health. There are however some species of insects and spiders that can be harmful and dangerous to have in your home. Once such species is the brown recluse spider. The brown recluse is not an aggressive species but if it is startled or feels threatened it may bite.
A bite from a brown recluse can be a serious situation and should be avoided at all costs. For this reason All-American Pest Control wants to provide you with information about these spiders, what they look like, where they hide and live, and how to prevent you and your family from becoming an accidental victim.
The brown recluse spider is yellowish tan to brown in color, and their body measures in length from to of an inch. They have eight long legs, and three pairs of eyes that are arranged in a semi-circle pattern. Their most distinctive characteristic is a violin shaped marking that is found on the top of their body.
Brown recluse spiders are found living in the outdoors most of the time. They can be found in and around woodpiles, underneath outdoor furniture, under piles of organic debris, and in dark sheds. They may enter into homes seeking shelter and food sources. Brown recluse spiders are very timid and therefore like to hide in dark, quiet places within homes. This means they will often be found hiding and living inside of closets, cupboards, and dry basements.
Brown recluse spiders build their webs near the ground level; however, they dont actually use their webs for catching prey. Brown recluses instead will go out and hunt for their prey. These spiders feed on soft bodied insects like moths, flies, other spiders, including other brown recluses.
If you and a brown recluse came head to head it may be hard to determine which of you ran away faster. Brown recluses are generally afraid of humans and will run and hide if they see you. Bites happen when they are being directly handled or if they get trapped between you and something else, like clothing for example.
The consequences of a bite can vary from person to person. Sometimes a bite will either go unnoticed or be mistaken for another kind of insect bite. In some people the venom can cause necrosis of the tissue around the bite that can lead to serious infection and the person can become very ill. If you know you have been bitten by a brown recluse you should always seek medical attention.
In order to prevent being bitten by a brown recluse there are things that you should do to protect yourself, especially if you have seen a brown recluse in your home before.
Shake out your clothing before putting it on. Inspect your shoes before putting them on. Do not walk barefoot around basements, attics, or even garages Keep storage areas where they like to hide like closets, cupboards, and basements organized and free of clutter. Seal entry points around your home so they cannot get in. Caulk gaps around doorways and windows, seal cracks found in your homes foundation.

Nashville Pest Control Pros Offer Brown Recluse Prevention Tips
Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) August 30, 2014
Hawaii offers its residents beautiful landscaping, ocean views, sunshine, and warm weather; because of this most people want to be spending their time outdoors in the paradise they call home. However, one small, buzzing, tiny insect can put a damper on what could be a wonderful day spent outside, the mosquito. Mosquitoes are problematic for people all across the United States, even for those of us lucky enough to be living in Honolulu.
Mosquitoes are a widespread issue all across Oahu and Honolulu. Mosquitoes are not only an annoyance, they are very dangerous. They are responsible for more human deaths than any other insects. Mosquitoes spread diseases that include dengue fever, malaria, encephalitis, and of course West Nile Virus. states Michael Botha, President of Sandwich Isle Pest Solutions.
Sandwich Isle Pest Solutions is very aware of the dangers associated with mosquitoes and therefore wants to better help the residents of Honolulu understand these insects and what they can do to protect themselves and family. Below is a guide that Sandwich Isle has put together to answer common questions about these hazardous pests.
What do mosquitoes look like?
Mosquitoes are very small, only about 1/8 - 3/8" long, with one pair of scaled wings that they use for flying. They have a slender body, six long legs and a piercing mouthpart called a proboscis. They are gray to black in color with some white, green or even blue markings.
Do mosquitoes only eat blood?
No, in fact both males and females feed and live off of plant nectar. It is actually only the female mosquito that bites and feeds on blood. She does this in order to get the protein she needs to create her eggs.
Why do I rarely see mosquitoes out during the day?
Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn; this is because generally it is too hot for them to be active during the middle of the day. During the day they can be found resting and hiding in tall grass, shrubs and bushes.

MEDIA RELEASE Horizons Regional Council
29 August, 2014
Possums, rooks, old mans beard or something else?
Horizons Regional Council is asking for community feedback about pest control in the Region to help guide decisions for a new Pest Management Plan.
Horizons environmental manager biosecurity Bill Martyn says the national Biosecurity Act has recently changed and Horizons now has the opportunity to review its pest management strategies.
Before we develop a draft Pest Management Plan that will be put out for formal consultation in April, itd be great to hear what people think about existing pest control in the Region and what theyd like to see in their area, says Mr Martyn.
Wed like to know if the community considers possums, rooks, old mans beard or something else an issue. What pests need attention, how much effort should we put in and how much are you prepared to invest in it as a ratepayer?
Chairman Bruce Gordon says Horizons needs to hear community feedback, particularly around what we more we could be doing.
This review is your chance to voice your concerns so please get involved, says Mr Gordon.
Mr Martyn says feedback will be used to create the draft document which will be put out for formal consultation in April 2015.

Bosses at the venue housed in the historic Manchester Club have confirmed they shut their kitchen voluntarily to review pest control measures
Posh city centre bar and restaurant Room closed its kitchen for council pest inspectors who then found mouse droppings.
Bosses at the venue housed in the historic Manchester Club have confirmed they shut their kitchen voluntarily to review pest control measures. But they said the whole building has issues with rodent proofing.
Customers who were unable to eat in the restaurant last Tuesday were told there had been a gas leak. And Room bosses have since confirmed to the M.E.N. there was also a gas leak on the day in question.
The kitchen was closed for a day while the problem was dealt with and reopened on Wednesday.
The bar remained open throughout.
The council has confirmed their inspectors found mouse droppings in the kitchen and that Bruntwood, managers of the Manchester Club, needed to deal with pest-proofing issues in the building.
John Dyer, operations manager at Room, said: After becoming aware that mice had been seen within the Bruntwood building Manchester Club, Room Restaurant decided to voluntarily close its kitchen on Tuesday August 19, to review and improve its pest control measures and pest proofing.
The business remained open throughout this process. Room Restaurant takes the safety of its customers very seriously and is committed to taking all measures necessary to ensure its premises remain pest-free.
As Room is on the first floor above street level, Bruntwood have been asked to improve the proofing of the entire building, to protect the various restaurants and retail outlets within the building from any rodent ingress.

Melvin Caldwell, 50, of St. Pete Termite & Pest Control, helps tent the St. Petersburg Free Clinic Friday morning, August 29, 1014. The job is a big one, but not the biggest Caldwell has helped with. "We go by cubic feet so we know how much gas to use. This building is 500,000 cubic feet," he says, but he remembers tenting Jannus Landing. "Janus landing was a million and six. We did John's Pass too. That was a million and three."JOHN PENDYGRAFT | Times

Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) August 29, 2014
Investigators at the Institute for Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the University of Maryland Department of Entomology have used a new strategy to quickly sequence genes activated throughout the life cycle of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug. Their findings, which could lead to new ways to control this abundant and costly pest, were published online August 29 in the journal BMC Genomics.
The brown marmorated sink bug, Halyomorpha halys, is an invasive pest of the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, which has caused millions of dollars of damage to a wide range of crops. It is a pervasive nuisance to homeowners, invading home gardens and congregating in homes to overwinter. There are few treatments to deter the damage it causes or its ability to spread. Growers consider the invasive stink bug to be the single most important pest in the mid-Atlantic region, and they have tried desperate measures, including the increasing use of broad-spectrum pesticides to control the problem. This has been a particularly difficult invasive pest to manage, yet until now there has been little genetic information to aid researchers seeking more effective ways to control it.
With funding from the United States Department of Agricultures National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI), the Maryland scientists developed a way to skip the time-consuming first step of breeding genetically identical individual animals in the laboratory, which is normally a first step in analysis of new genomes. Instead, the researchers were able to sequence and analyze all of the genetic variants that arose in their population of stink bugs, and to do so at all points in the insects life cycles, from the egg stage through late adulthood.
With this new information in hand, researchers can develop new insights into the original stink bug invasion in Allentown, Pennsylvania and subsequent invasions throughout the U.S. The data can also aid in the development of novel pest management agents.
Rather than spending months or even years inbreeding insects in the laboratory in order to simplify the genetic analysis, this study demonstrates a new approach that analyzes a genetically diverse population of insects, says Prof. Leslie Pick, chair of the UMD Entomology Department, who guided the research. This is the first step in our ongoing work to develop a pest control strategy that employs molecular genetic techniques to manage the stink bug invasion without affecting other, potentially beneficial insects.
We are excited to identify highly abundant bacterial genes with properties suggesting that they are functional parts of the stink bug genome, says Julie Dunning Hotopp, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and senior author on the paper. These genes may be novel targets in identifying a biocontrol mechanism.
The integration of genomic based analysis for invasive pest management may provide rapid responses, similar to approaches in disease epidemiology, says Claire M. Fraser, Ph.D., director of the Institute for Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. This analysis increases our understanding of controlling not only the invasive stink bug, but also adds to our understanding of preventing the introduction of invasive pests in the future.
