It's late spring now and thousands of homes in the local Broken Arrow area have become infested with pests such as Black Widow Spiders and Brown Recluse Spiders, Silverfish, Ants, Cockroaches, Bed Bugs and other pests. Below is just a little helpful information to help curb your pest control issues. We hope they help!
Bed Bugs have become such a nuisance in the local Tulsa area but there are things can you do to help keep your home free of Bed Bugs. While there is no guarantee you will not get Bed Bugs simply changing habits can help. Inspect clothing and items before buying at garage sales and if you like shopping in thrift stores have the items placed in plastic bags and sealed before taking the items with you. All items should be properly inspected, disinfected and cleaned as soon as possible. Getting just a couple Nymph Bed Bugs in your car or on your clothing can be a future nightmare.
Use these same tips to help with keeping new Cockroach infestations from happening. Cockroach eggs can be present on items at garage sales and just bringing in a few can lead to a huge problem in the very near future. Cockroaches just like Bed Bugs can go without notice for months before you realize there is a problem.
With the mild winter and humid weather we have been seeing here in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma pests tend to thrive and infestation can come from any direction. Cockroaches are not afraid to take it outside and infest neighboring homes. If your neighbor has a Cockroach problem then it is very possible at some point the Cockroaches will find your home. Even trash being left out on the side of a home with Cockroaches can lead to a problem for neighbors.
Spiders such as Black Widows and Brown Recluse Spiders are usually a sign of another underlying pest control issue.
Broken Arrow Pest Control tips suggest that pests such as Silverfish or other pests are usually present. Crickets, Waterbugs and other insect life are usually found in garages and Spiders thrive when these populations are present. Of course not all Spiders are bad Spiders but for the most part we don't want Black Widow Spiders and Brown Recluse Spiders present in our homes. Treatment is usually always necessary to get a foothold on this type of problem. A declining population of food for the Spiders means the Spiders will look for food in other places.
Some things you can do as the homeowner to help with your pest control in Broken Arrow.
1) Keep things tidy and clean
2) Don't leave food left out and clean dishes as soon as possible
3) Trash attracts insects like Flies and Cockroaches, Keep trash sealed and in a covered trash container till it can be picked up
4) Cluttered living environments are create pest problems. It's difficult to treat areas that are cluttered

Diatomaceous earth also known as D.E.,
diatomite, or kieselgur is a naturally occurring, soft,
siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine powder. It is effective in killing and controlling many household pests.
6) Keep your yard mowed and trimmed. Pests thrive in moist, grassy environments and if your yard is a field your attracting pests like Field Mice or other Rodents, Black Widow Spiders, Brown Recluse Spiders, Cockroaches and a whole slew of pests. It's like inviting the bugs, pests on in. Insect populations are typically higher in areas that are not maintained regularly
