HOUSTON Gotcha Pest Control was working Monday to remove hundreds of thousands of bees that killed a familys dog last week in north Houston.

The attack happened Thursday in the backyard of a house in the 100 block of Coach Road near Aldine Bender Road and Imperial Valley Drive.

Manuel Rodriguez Sr. was mowing his sons backyard and Ace was tied up while he worked.

Ace was tied up here and he was over here, Manuel Jr. said. He heard him barking so he brought him some water. He heard him barking and yelping again and he saw the bees.

The bees were living in a large oak tree in the backyard, but the Rodriguez family never imagined they would attack.

I meanI had seen a couple before but I didnt think it was anything to this extent, Manuel Jr. said.

Martinez, GA (PRWEB) August 02, 2013

Rain may make flowers grow and crops more plentiful, but it also can play a significant role in bringing rodents indoors. According to the National Weather Service, Georgia, and in particular Augusta, has seen rainfall of record proportions. All this rain has increased the amount of not only mosquitoes, but also the mice population. Hornes Pest Control can advise on how to rid homes of these destructive rodents.

Heavy rainfall directly results in an increase of mice moving to indoor locations where they are dry and can maintain their nests. When mice come indoors, they can be quite difficult to control. It often seems that by the time any evidence is noticed, there is an infestation within the home. Unfortunately, when most people first notice any evidence of mice, they incorrectly assume they have just one mouse. This is usually not the case. The odds are that the home has several mice and placing a trap, a glue board or a box of bait will not be effective in controlling the infestation.

Mice are often seen as an aggravation, but are rarely thought of for their destructive nature. People must often be reminded that it was mice, infested with fleas, which caused the Black Plaque that decimated Europes population. Even today, with all of the modern exterminating practices, rodents destroy 25 percent of the worlds grain supply annually.

Understanding basic mouse biology and behavior can help in controlling these pests.

Mice are outside animals that come indoors for food and shelter. They can enter a home through a hole the size of a dime. Exclusion work is important, but can be difficult. It is imperative to check the homes exterior and seal any cracks with the proper products. Once the mouse is inside they usually set up a nest rather quickly. They eat many types of foods and are not hesitant to try new foods. They need very little free water and can survive mostly on the water contained in their food sources.

Mice are primarily nocturnal and will generally only travel 10 30 feet from their nesting area. They have very poor eyesight and are color blind. They have an extremely keen sense of smell and taste. One house mouse produces 36,000 droppings per year. These droppings and urine stains are what enable a mouse to navigate in a home so well; it is also why they can contaminate large areas very quickly.

Mice control can be attained through a multistep process. First, inspect the area and dispose of all food stuffs and items that have been in contact with mice. For items that cannot be thrown away, wash them thoroughly with a product containing ammonia, which will cut the urine and other smells. Scrub the flooring, shelving and baseboards all around the nesting areas for a distance of at least 30 feet.

A variety of control measures are then taken. Make sure to have clean hands while performing these next steps. Mice dont mind human smells they are living in the home, but mice are repelled from the scents of strong cleaners, insecticides, tobacco and varnishes. Remember mice sample many different foods, so apply several different mice baits and place different foods in many traps. Place two or three traps together to help prevent them from escaping. Put several glueboards along the baseboards.

When the mice re-enter the area, there will be no usual food, and no usual smells. The mice will be disoriented. However, they are curious by nature and will begin to explore. They will sample the baits, stumble into a glueboard or activate a trap. After a few days of this, should provide decent results and eventual control.

Brecklands cabinet has agreed to end a free service dealing with infestations of rats and mice in a bid to save taxpayers money against the recommendations of fellow councillors.

To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.

The decision was made on Tuesday to withdraw the districts pest control service from April 2014 a move which could save the authority 46,100 per year.

Currently the council, through a contractor, will deal with rodent problems in domestic properties for free, while it charges for the treatment of insects including wasps, fleas and bed bugs. All services are chargeable to commercial properties.

An officers report to the cabinet says money could be saved by stopping the pest control service, and sign-posting people to commercial suppliers instead.

It says this could be achieved without affecting the councils legal obligations, and that the service had not been identified as a priority in its Could We Should We consultations with the public.

But members of the councils overview and scrutiny commission raised concerns about the proposals earlier this month.

A report from the commission says: In particular there was concern that people would be troubled by rats from a neighbouring property where the neighbour was not willing to pay to have the problem treated. It would be incumbent on the council to take action and therefore unlikely that money would be saved.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) August 01, 2013

City & Country Pest Control (http://www.cityandcountrypestcontrol.com), the leader in residential, industrial, and commercial pest eradication and humane wildlife and bird removal, is issuing a warning to residents of the Greater Toronto Area about handling raccoons and other wildlife.

While there is no official count, the Ministry of Natural Resources estimates there are as many as 100 raccoons per square kilometre in Toronto. At roughly 641 square kilometres, that translates into 641,000 raccoons, says Horacio Parreira, owner of City & Country Pest Control. It should be no surprise to learn that Toronto has also been dubbed the unofficial raccoon capital of the world. And summertime is their active season. (Sources: thegridto.com, Midnight Marauders, June 12, 2013; http://www.thegridto.com/city/local-news/midnight-marauders/; cbc.ca, Raccoon Nation, April 21, 2013; http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/natureofthings/2011/raccoonnation/)

While many residents in the Greater Toronto Area may see raccoons as pests and want to get rid of them, due to Ministry of Natural Resource guidelines and the fact they can be quite unpredictable, aggressive, and carry rabies, removal should be left to trained pest control professionals.

Raccoons may have adapted well to city life in Toronto, but that doesnt mean people can take matters into their own hands, says Horacio. In fact, doing so could lead to fines and charges: earlier this spring, a Toronto man pled guilty to a charge of cruelty to animals for hitting several raccoons with a shovel. After 19 court appearances before the Crown, he was given a conditional discharge that included 100 hours of community service at a humane society shelter. He also had to pay $1,365 to a local wildlife centre, where one of the raccoons he hit was treated for a broken leg. (Source: thestar.com, article, Man who attacked raccoons with a shovel pleads guilty, March 12, 2013; http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2013/03/12/man_who_attacked_raccoons_with_shovel_pleads_guilty_to_animal_cruelty.html)

When it comes to animals we consider pests, its important to remember that its illegal to fire a gun in Toronto. And any form of lethal force must be humane, Horacio adds. Ministry of Natural Resources guidelines state that using body gripping traps can result in provincial charges with fines up to $5,000, and placing poison out to kill animals can result in criminal charges. (Toronto, Wildlife in the city: Raccoons, http://www.toronto.ca/animal_services/raccoon.htm, last accessed July 31, 2013.)

The experts at City & Country Pest Control recommend proactive measures, including not feeding raccoons, trimming back trees located close to houses, using metal or durable plastic trash contains, and manicuring property to eliminate debris and shelter. But while these methods can help keep raccoons at bay, they might not keep them away entirely.

When it comes to raccoons, the two most important components are removal and keeping them from returning, Horacio concludes. At City & Country Pest Control, we humanely solve raccoon and wildlife problems in the Greater Toronto Area and animal-proof your home or business.
