Reading, PA (PRWEB) April 25, 2014

The Rentokil family of pest control companies, (Ehrlich Pest Control, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X Pest Control), want to help educate the public about bed bugs and are expanding their education efforts by sharing a recent Harris Poll on how Americans are taking action to prevent a bed bug infestation. Based on the results of the survey, 59% of U.S. adults are taking some kind of precaution against bed bug infestations including:

As the warmer weather leads into travel season, anyone who travels will want to be extra vigilant when it comes to picking up bed bugs. The checklist for travelers may include sunscreen, but bringing home bed bugs will be a more long-term inconvenience than dealing with sunburn, said Nancy Troyano, PhD, BCE, training manager/entomologist for Rentokil-North America. The good news is the survey confirms that bed bug education is working. Education is the first step in alleviating the problem and this infographic supports the education process. You may access the bed bug infographic from Harris Poll and the National Pest Management Association here.

Sentry Termite and Pest Control can take care of it

WEST MILFORD Suppose you married the owner of a ski resort, but theres a problem; you have a serious fear of heights and an aversion to snow. Wanting to be a good help-mate, you take over the office responsibilities, steering clear of the frosty outdoors.

Now imagine that its insect and critters that scare the daylights out of you and you marry a man who later becomes the owner of a pest control business. Thats the situation JoAnn TenHoeve found herself in and thats why shes the office manager for Sentry Termite and Pest Control in West Milford.

Obviously a termite swarm needs attention by a professional. If one sees large, black ants, which are probably carpenter ants, on a daily basis, or what looks like saw dust sifting anywhere, its a good indication that carpenter ants are nesting within a structure. JoAnn TenHoeve

Im definitely not immune to the eek factor. Im probably more freaked out than most and often have to explain that other than work the office I want no part of what the guys do, TenHoeve said and went on to speak for the couple.

Married for 47 years, Jan and JoAnn TenHoeve are the parents of three sons and have six grandchildren. After Jan was discharged from the Navy, the couple moved from Florida (where palmetto bugs rule) to West Milford. They built a home and raised their family in the township.

A new concept plan to control pest plants and weeds along riverbeds could create more opportunities for recreational uses along riverbanks.

In a first for the country, Environment Southland has created the ''Managing Unwanted Vegetation in Southland Rivers Concept Plan'' as a way to efficiently manage weeds and pest plants along riverbeds long term.

It has been developed in conjunction with the Department of Conservation and Land Information New Zealand.

Environment Southland catchment works supervisor Ken McGraw said the plan was created after an annual meeting with the River Liaison Committee determined the annual budgets for controlling pest plants were increasing every year.

While plants such as gorse and broom were usually controlled by herbicides, Mr McGraw said it was time to investigate other options to identify the most cost-effective and efficient way to control the plants.

''It's a long-term approach to sustainably managing unwanted plants on the river beds.

''We want to reduce the costs and dependency on herbicides.''

Mr McGraw said the community was encouraged to give feedback on the plan about what they valued most about the river corridors.

''What comes out of this plan is the recreational value of river corridors - they are not just things that are important to the agricultural sector.

''They are also important to the wider community as places to recreate - they have landscape values and other qualities.''

Kennewick, WA (PRWEB) April 22, 2014

This week is National Bed Bug Awareness Week and the experts at Senske Services are looking to spread awareness and provide bed bug prevention tips as the summer travel season approaches. Bed bugs are still a problem here in the United States, and each year, coming across bed bugs in public places are becoming increasingly more common than in previous years past.

Bed bugs are not about sanitation - in fact a clean house or hotel room has little to do with where the bed bugs came from. In most situations, people are the cause of transporting these little bugs from one place to another. This is especially the case for travelers, as bed bugs are known to attach themselves to luggage and clothing.

Senske offers the following prevention tips to consider when you travel:

For more information on bed bug prevention, visit Senske Pest Control. If you suspect that you may have bed bugs in your home or business, Senske recommends conducting an inspection before any cleaning or rearranging has occurred. As always, Senske has experienced and licensed professional pest control technicians to assist with inspections and treatment plans.
