FLEA INFORMATION AND CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

INFORMATION ABOUT FLEAS

Fleas are pest to humans and their domestic animals all over the world.  While most fleas prefer non-human hosts, many can and do feed on humans when infestations are heavy or when other hosts are not readily available.

Fleas are small, wingless parasitic insects that are extremely well adapted to their environment.  The first step toward effective control is recognizing two very important factors.  First, the 4 stages of the flea life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, and adult) have to be broken or stopped.  Second, the flea population must be controlled everywhere it exists, on the pet, inside the home, and out in the yard.

1.  THE EGG STAGE

The eggs are laid loosely and singly on the host.  The eggs are not sticky so when the host shakes, scratches, or moves around the eggs will be deposited in all areas where the hosts rest, sleeps, and is active.

2.  THE LARVAL STAGE

Flea larva is whitish, legless, and worm like.  Unlike adult fleas, the larvae are free living (non-parasitic) with chewing mouth parts and feed on material available in their environment.   It is necessary for successful development of the larva to feed on organic debris and the adult flea excrement containing dried blood which composes the main diet of the flea larva. Larvae are more sensitive to temperature and humidity than the eggs.  Low humidity, less than 50%, is fatal for flea larvae.  The larval period normally lasts 7-15 days, but can be as long as several months if the environment is less favorable.

3.  THE PUPAL STAGE

Unlike the egg and larval stage, the pupa stage is very resilient to harsh conditions.  The cocoon serves to protect the pupa from predators and also acts as a barrier against insecticides.  Within the cocoon the pupa changes into a pre-emerged adult flea.  Adults will emerge from the pupa case in 5-7 days under favorable conditions.  In adverse conditions, the pupae and pre-emerged adults can lay quiet within the cocoon for up to a full year.   Flea emergence can be stimulated by body warmth of the host and the pressure made by a host walking on the pre-emerged adult within the cocoon, increased temperatures and mechanical disturbances.

4.  THE ADULT STAGE

The adult flea has well developed legs for jumping.  Adults have piercing-sucking mouth parts and are usually ready to take a blood meal, their only source of food, 24-48 hours after emerging from the cocoon.  Adult fleas spend 90% of their life on the host and feed many times a day.  On average, the female flea lays 15-20 eggs per day for the 10-14 days that she is fertile.

For an effective flea program to stop any re-infestation of fleas in all areas, the pet, the home, and the yard must be treated.  Pets drop flea eggs anywhere at any time.  After hatching, the flea larva then can migrate to dark low traffic areas where food is available.  All stages of the flea can be carried throughout the house in the laundry, on people or on their clothing.  Also, if the infested pet frequently travels in the family vehicle it may be necessary to treat the vehicle as well.  Outdoor treatment is also necessary when the pets are allowed outside.

Although nearly all adult fleas present at the time of service will be controlled, don’t be alarmed if you see some fleas within a few days to three weeks after treatment.  These are newly emerged adults from the cocoon of the pupa stage.  If these conditions are present after treatment, control the new adults on the pet with bathing or a pet flea insecticide.  Any flea prevention program must include regular grooming and bathing of the pet.  If the pet is not being treated regularly, you could see constant sighting of fleas.  Your home and your yard would not be re-infested but your pet would be infested.

To insure a continuous protection from fleas on your home and yard, we recommend that you renew your flea services at the end of each guarantee period.  If you are looking for a dependable knowledgeable exterminator and live in Naples, Fort Myers, or Southwest Florida call 239-455-4300 Collier Pest Control, Southwest Florida’s Pest Control Authority, for a free estimate and a complete explanation on any of our service, or look us up on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com.  Don’t let unwanted guests spoil your beautiful Southwest Florida lifestyle!  Remember, Florida does not have to be share with insects!

RATS RODENT CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

RODENTS

 

ROOF RATS AND MICE

Collier Pest Control is Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority, Including Rodent Control!

The Roof Rat is an introduced species of rat native to southern Asia.  It was brought to America on the first ships to reach the New World and has spread around the world.  This rat is the same species that carried the bubonic plague around the world and is also the reservoir host for murine typhus.  Roof Rats are the worst rodent pest in the State of Florida and most abundant.  A typical roof rat is between 13 and 18 inches long from nose to tail.  It is commonly known as the black rat or palm squirrel, but is often dark brown in color.  Unlike other rats, their tails are longer than the length of their bodies and they have large ears.  Roof rats will nest in trees, woodpiles, garbage and plants, but they generally like inside high places, like attics.  They are good climbers and only need a hole the size of a quarter to gain entry.  They primarily consume fruits and nuts, although they will eat anything.  They tend to hoard food for consuming later.  They are known for hollowing out citrus fruit in trees.  Control of roof rats is not an easy task.  Professional Pest Management is needed to control these pests.  The tools of a Professional Pest Control Technician includes; the knowledge of cultural control (prevention and habitat management): Physical control (trapping and exclusion): Biological control (predators like snakes): and if needed chemical control (rodent baits and repellents).

The Florida House Mouse weighs less than an ounce.  It can fit in a crack of only a quarter inch.  They can and do get everywhere.  If your house has food and any small openings, eventually mice will find their way in.  A single mouse can’t eat a whole lot, but they nibble on many foods and defecate on everything, mice destroy considerably more food than they consume.  They can also spread diseases.  Some examples of diseases that can be spread by mice or rats are salmonellosis (food poisoning), rickett-sialpox, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis. Mice may also carry leptospirosis, ratbite fever, tapeworms, and organisms that can cause ringworm (a fungal skin disease) in humans.  They like to chew and gnaw everything, and will often chew on electrical wires, creating a fire hazard.

Collier Pest Control can eliminate unwanted rodent infestations, with our exclusive Rodent Treatment.  We will place control trapping equipment in all active areas on the interior of your home or building and set up exterior rodent control baiting stations around the outside of your home or building.  We then will monitor and remove any trapped rodents every other day until there is no more rodents active inside your home or building.  Permanent Exterior Rodent Baiting Stations are available for an extra onetime fee.

Collier Pest Control has the knowledge, experience, and a highly trained staff to be able to control and protect you from Florida’s rodent problems.  If you live in Naples, Fort Myers, or Bonita Springs, or anywhere in beautiful Southwest Florida call 239-455-4300, Collier Pest Control for a full explanation on any of our services, or look us up on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com.  Remember Florida does not have to be shared with pests.

FROGS GIANT BUFO POISONOUS FROG CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

BUFO MARINUS FROGS

GIANT POISONOUS FROGS

The Giant Bufo Marinus Toad is the largest of the frogs and toads found in Florida. The giant toad is not native to the United States.  Known scientifically as Bufo Marinus, the Cane Toad, Giant Toad, or Marine Toad is native to an area extending from Mexico and Central America to the Amazon Basin and was introduced to Florida in 1966 in an attempt to control the population of a type of beetle that was ravaging the sugar cane crops. The toads ignored the cane beetles, but began ravaging everything else in sight instead. They have immense appetites, breed by the zillions, and secrete poisonous gunk that makes them unpalatable to all but a tiny handful of native animals and poisonous to many. 

Giant Toads range in size from 4 - 6 in. (10 - 15.2 cm). Females can weigh up to 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg). Giant Toads are huge brown toads that vary in color between brown and red and may have darker and lighter spots. These Giant Toads breed from June to January, but Giant Toads have been found in breeding condition throughout the year. Females produce 8,000 to 50,000 eggs in a clutch and can breed at least twice a year for 5 years in the wild. Giant Toads normally lay eggs in slow moving freshwater streams, but they can also breed in brackish water. Tadpoles hatch in 48 to 72 hours. Depending on the water temperature and food availability, they can complete their development in 16 to 180 days. Giant Toads can live for at least 15 years in captivity.  The Giant Toad calls are a slow, low-pitched trill that has been compared to the sound of exhaust noise from a distant tractor. The largest males tend to have the deepest voices.

The Giant Toads are an exotic species that will eat all types of native frogs and toads. This species is skilled at locating all types of food.  They have even been known to eat pet food. 

When this Giant Toad is threatened or handled, it secretes a highly toxic milky substance from its large glandsat the back of its head, behind the ears. This secretion can burn your eyes, may irritate your skin, and can kill cats and dogs if they ingest the secretion. Symptoms of Giant Toad poisoning in pets include drooling, head-shaking, crying, loss of coordination, and, in more serious cases, convulsions. 

In Florida, Giant Toads can be found associated with urban and agricultural areas. This species breeds in canals, flooded ditches, shallow pools and fish ponds. At night, Giant Toads have been known to congregate around house lights to feed on insects.

Giant toads are beneficial for the gardener and homeowner in general. They do displace native toads and reptiles and birds if they can catch them. Giant toads are often transported in shipments of fruit and other commodities. Until effective control methods are available like quarantine checks and the stopping of any accidental releases of these toads, there is little or no hope in the control these Giant Toads.
This Bufo Marinus Frog can be removed and disposed of humanely by placing them in a plastic container (or bag) and then in the freezer for three days and then burying the carcasses. If you do not wish to handle the toads, call Collier Pest Control at 239-455-4300 for a full explanation on our Frog and Lizard Repellant Treatment or look us up on our website at collierpestcontrol.com. Remember Florida does not have to be shared with pests.

FLIES BLOW FLY CONTROL WITH COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

BLOW FLIES

Blow flies and flesh flies are very common flies associated with dead animals. Blow flies can be found in almost every known terrestrial habitat and they are found in association with human civilization throughout the world. Blow flies include a number of species including the common Blue Bottle Fly and the Green Bottle Fly. Adult flies are metallic blue, green, copper or black colored flies that otherwise resemble large house flies in appearance. Other blow flies include the Black Blow Fly and the Cluster Fly.

The larvae (maggots) of these flies feed on dead animal tissue and as such are beneficial in nature as decomposer of dead animal carcasses. The appearance of these flies or maggots in the house typically indicates that an animal (i.e. rodent, bird, etc.) has died within the walls or in the attic. The larvae infest the animal carcass for 5-10 days before they leave the carcass and wander in search of a dry place to pupate. Maggots have hook-like mouthparts. Adults have sponge-like mouthparts similar to those of house flies. These maggots are unsavory but harmless. 

Female flies lay eggs on or near suitable habitats. Tiny maggots hatch from eggs in 6 to 48 hours. After 2 to 7 days they form a pupa (cocoon), Adult flies emerge 10 to 17 days after the formation of the pupa (cocoon). Development from egg to adult occurs in 16 to 35 days, depending on temperature and environmental conditions. The adults can live up to six weeks. 

Adult blow flies are attracted to nectar, carrion, garbage, bloody or soiled hair, fur, or wool. 

Sanitation via removal and proper disposal of garbage, carcasses and similar breeding media is probably the most satisfactory method of limiting blow fly populations. The only necessary control for flesh fly maggots is to vacuum or sweep them up and discard. Then check for dead animals in the walls, attic, etc.

An important point to remember is that subterranean termites work slowly. There are many, many variables when considering how fast or slow a termite’s colony will damage a home.  Size of the colony, temperature, moisture, time of year, etc all affect the speed of damage.  A small colony can typically eat six inches of a 2X4 in one year.

If you have regular routine yearly termite inspections of your home or business, you can find out if you have a termite problem or not.  Since they eat very slowly, even if they have entered your home or business you can correct the problem before they cause an extensive costly amount of damage.

Collier Pest Control now offers a diagnostic tool to help answer the question, “Do we have a termite problem?” We will install at NO CHARGE, to any of our regular Collier Complete General Household Treatment customers, 8-10 termite monitors around each building.  In 90 days, we will check each monitor, and report to you the location of any monitors that have termite activity.  This will help show you, if and where you may have termite activity close to your foundation making your home a high risk account.

LIZARDS THE BROWN ANOLE CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

BROWN ANOLE

The Brown Anole is similar looking but more abundant than the Green Anole.  It was accidentally introduced from the West Indies. The brown anole is native to Cuba and the Bahamas, it was first observed in the Florida Keys in 1887. It arrived in the major seaports of South Florida during the 1940s and had become firmly established in most large urbanized areas south of Gainesville by 1980. This species thrives in disturbed habitats and ornamental plantings but can potentially inhabit almost any inland or coastal habitat in Florida. It is apparently the most abundant anole over much of the southern half of peninsular Florida, and populations now occur in every county in peninsular Florida.  Cold winters reduce these northern populations but enough individuals usually survive to maintain viable populations.  This exotic species varies from yellowish tan to brown in color, and is never green.  The Brown Anole has a more blunt snout than the Green Anole.  Like their green cousins, male Brown anoles use a throat fan for marking territory or attracting mates, their fan is bright red. Some experimental evidence suggest that the brown anole is primarily responsible for reduced numbers of green anoles, particularly in human-altered habitats where adult male brown anoles sometimes prey upon smaller green anoles. Brown Anoles are often seen on the walls of buildings, rocks and logs.  When threatened, they flee to the ground to hide, but will dash rapidly forward to grab their food.  The diet of Brown Anoles may include ants, roaches, spiders, beetles, and other small prey.

SMALL HONEY ANT

This small ant is only an occasional pest inside structures.  They do not regularly build colonies within homes or businesses.  Small Honey Ants build their colonies in the open shaded areas of your lawn, under concrete slabs, under stones, and landscaping beds.  They are very cold tolerant, foraging in temperatures just above freezing, and decreases with temperatures above 60 to 75 degrees.

These small, 1/16 to 1/8 inch, yellowish to blackish brown ants look similar to small crazy ants with legs very long in relation to body size.  They are very fond of honeydew and will tend honeydew producing insects such as aphids.  They also feed on live and dead insects, juices of overripened fruits, and will extract the sap or juice from flower buds and plant shoots.

If found inside a structure, follow the trailing ants back to the point where they exit the wall and then look on the outside of that wall for their trails.  Follow the trails back to where they enter the ground.  Look for crater shaped mounds on the dirt near and away from the foundation of the building.

These ants may only be seen outside, but if you see them inside or a nuisance to you outside, call 239-455-4300 for a complete explanation about the Small Honey Ant or any of our services, or look us up on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com.  Don’t let unwanted insect guests spoil your beautiful Southwest Florida Lifestyle.

HEAD LICE HELP FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

HEAD LICE

Collier Pest Control is your Southwest Florida Pest Authority in all areas of problem pest.  Head Lice can be a nuisance especially if you have school age children. Since the source of all Head Lice is on the human body, we cannot treat the source of the problem.  But, we can help you resolve the problem quickly, with less effort and in areas you might not consider treating.

Head Lice are transferred from person to person by direct contact or by several people using the same combs, brushes, or bedding.  Head lice are not found on animals or household pets and are not transmitted from pet to humans.

Head Lice infestations are normally found on children, but can also be spread to adults. The head louse is not considered to be a serious vector of disease.  The eggs or head lice are usually glued to hairs of the head.  The favorite areas female head lice like your head infest are to glue the eggs near the ears and back of the head. Fe the eggs to the back of ears and infest the back of your head.

The female head lice lay 6 to 7 eggs per day and may lay a total of 50 to 300 eggs during her life.  Under normal conditions the eggs will hatch in 5 to 10 days.  The young lice which hatch from the egg and must feed with 24 hours or they will die.  The nymphs, or baby stage, and adults all have piercing-sucking mouth parts.  Normally a young louse will mature in 3 to 5 weeks to an adult.  This means by the time you realize there is a problem; the problem has been there for a few weeks. People experience little irritation from the louse’s first bites.  After a short time individuals may become sensitized to the bites, and may react with a general allergic reaction.  

Head Lice should not be solely associated with uncleanliness, since they may be easily transferred from person to person.  Chemicals are available as prescription or non-prescription drugs to control lice.  Shampoos are preferred for control of Head Lice.  Some eggs may survive the first shampooing, it may be necessary to retreat once a week for three weeks to insure complete control.  Once the eggs, called nits, are killed they can be removed by combing them off the hairs with a very fine toothed comb or nitpick.  All clothes should be washed in hot soapy water, temperature greater than 125 degrees, for 10 minutes.  Pillow cases, sheets, and blankets should also be washed to kill the lice and their eggs.  When it is impractical to wash, articles can be put into clothes dryer at temperatures of 125 degrees for 10 to 20 minutes to kill all adult Head Lice and their eggs.

Because nymphs and adults sometimes fall off the host onto areas such as school lockers, closets, furniture, automobiles, or any active area people frequent. These areas should also be chemically treated with contact sprays to kill off all Head Lice activity before they could contact themselves to another person.  If the Head Louse does not receive a blood meal within 24 hours they will die.

Complete control of Head Lice is impossible to accomplish without a thorough treatment of the host that is infested.  Please contact your physician or pharmacist for further assistance if needed.

LIZARDS BLACK SPINY-TAILED IGUANA LIZARD CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

BLACK SPINY-TAILED IGUANA

 

The Black Spiny-Tailed Iguana is a large bulky lizard native to Mexico and Central America, commonly found in Costa Rica and Honduras.  They were introduced to South Florida over 30 years ago. They have been discovered here in Southwest Florida coastal areas on Gasparilla Island and in adjacent areas, throughout Lee, Charlotte, and Collier counties including Keewaydin Island and Little Marco Island.  It is the largest species in this iguana group and has been recorded as the fastest running lizard on earth, living in the wild up to 20 years.  Black Spiny-Tailed Iguanas have distinctive keeled scales on their long tails, which gives them their common name, Spiny-Tailed.  This lizard tends to be nasty and not tameable and can grow up to the length of over 3 foot and weigh up to 11 pounds. They have a crest of long spines which extends down the center of their back.  Juvenile Black Spiny-tailed Iguanas are mostly green, with the adult Black Spiny-Tail Iguanas usually have a whitish gray or tan ground color with a series of 4-12 well-defined dark dorsal bands that extend nearly to the ventral scales. Males having an orange color around the head and throat.  They are excellent climbers, and prefer a rocky habitat with plenty of crevices to hide in, rocks to bask in the sun on, and nearby trees to climb.  They use their speed, up o 27.7 mph, to escape predators but will lash out with their tails and bite if cornered.  Black Spiny-Tailed Iguanas eat flowers, leaves, stems, and fruit, but they will opportunistically eat small animals, eggs, arthropods, frogs, fish, rodents, bats, small birds, and even hatchling sea turtles, which poses another threat to the endangered native species.  Even though the Black Spiny-Tailed Iguana is farmed and heavily hunted as a food source and for export for the pet trade, it does not appear to be endangered in any of its native territory.

If you wish to keep Lizards, Frogs, or Toads away from your home or business, Collier Pest Control has a monthly Frog and Lizard Repellant Treatment to keep Lizards, Frogs, and Toads away from your home or business.

MOTHS TENT CATERPILLAR CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

TENT CATERPILLARS

While not a common critter found in this area, the Eastern Tent Caterpillar occasionally is found on some Florida trees.   They can thrive on several kinds of deciduous trees, but they seem to prefer wild cherry, apple and crabapple.  Eastern tent caterpillar populations fluctuate from year to year, with outbreaks occurring every several years. Defoliation of trees, building of unsightly silken nests in trees, and wandering caterpillars crawling over plants, walkways, and roads cause this insect to be a pest in the late spring and early summer. While tent caterpillars can nearly defoliate a tree when numerous, the tree will usually recover and put out a new crop of leaves.

Trees known to support this creature include several Rose family relatives that are temperate fruit trees: cherry, peach, pear, and plum.  Other plants known to host tent caterpillars include the hawthorn, maple, oak, beech and poplar, especially if found growing next to the preferred host plants. Tent Caterpillars have a light blue head with mottled black brown body and yellowish-white keyhole spots on their back bordered by pale blue lines, with sparse white hairs.  Tent Caterpillars will be in a clump of webbing on tree limbs that is filled with masses of these caterpillars. Caterpillars can be active for several weeks and are fully grown - about 2" long - in four to six weeks. Adult moths lay eggs in webs that are found in the crotch of tree limbs.  The eggs hatch in spring, and then begin their feeding frenzy.

Adult tent caterpillar moths are brown and yellowish with two diagonal markings on the front wings. Wingspreads are about 1 inch. These moths are attracted to lights and are sometimes very abundant. Tent caterpillar moths live for only a few days, during which they mate and lay eggs. Adults do not feed. Each species of tent caterpillar has only one generation per year.

If you live in Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort  Myers, or anywhere in Southwest Florida and are suffering from unsightly Tent Caterpillars and would like more information on these damaging pests, call our office, 239-455-4300, or look us up on our website at collierpestcontrol.com. Remember Florida does not have to be shared with pests.

WOOD DECAY FUNGI CONTROL WITH COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

WOOD DECAY FUNGI

 

Few Organisms are capable of utilizing wood as a source of food energy.  Among these, wood decay fungi are the most important of these organisms.  Wood Decay Fungi is important and is a beneficial organisms in the natural ecology of the world’s forests.

Wood Decay Fungi are plants which lack chlorophyll.  Therefore, since they cannot produce their own carbohydrate food, they live on carbohydrates contained or stored in wood.  The fungal reproductive body or spore (seed) germinates when the proper conditions of oxygen, temperature and moisture exist, by developing threadlike hyphae.  These hyphae secrete enzymes which break down wood into usable food.  The hyphae of some fungi form thick root like strands called rhizomorphs which allow them to conduct water long distances.  Eventually fruiting structures called sporophores (some are called mushrooms, toadstools, and conks) are produced.

Decay of wood in structures is a problem in moist, humid climate areas.  Moisture in some form is necessary for the growth of fungi that causes rot.  When wood is used in the construction of a building, it should be well seasoned, so that it does not contain enough natural moisture to support decay fungi.

Wood-decaying fungi causes as much, if not more, damage to structures each year than do termites.  These fungi, primarily brown, rot including the water conducting fungi, and white rot, are found throughout the United States, although some are restricted to areas of warmer and or more humid conditions.

Some people term this as “dry” rot.  There is no such thing a “dry rot”.  All wood must have moisture of over 20% in order for the wood decay fungi to attack.  There are many types of fungi damaging wood here in Southwest Florida.  It is necessary to at least be able to determine the type of fungi causing the damage at hand: Sap-Staining fungi (blue-stain fungi), Surface-Staining fungi (molds and mildews), White Pocket Rot, Brown Rot, Water-conducting Fungi (dry-rot, or White Rot.

The first step in controlling wood decay fungi is to locate signs of moisture problems.  Then remove all the damaged wood and live active growing fungi.  Since fungi is created from excess moisture and to keep the fungi from returning, lowering the moisture percentage in the area to below 20% and humidity below 50% will help stop fungi growth.  Sometimes these changes can be as simple as more air flow into the area and other times on exterior wood it may need to be changed regularly.

If you live in Naples, Fort Myers, or Southwest Florida call 239-455-4300 Collier Pest Control, Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority, for a complete explanation on termites, wood destroying insects, wood decay fungi, or any of our services, or look us up on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com.  Remember Florida does not have to be shared with insects.

SNAILS GIANT AFRICAN LAND SNAIL CONTROL WITH COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

GIANT AFRICAN LAND SNAILS

They're huge and they move around and look like they're looking at you.South Florida is fighting a growing infestation of one of the world's most destructive invasive species: the Giant African Land Snail, which can grow as big as a rat and gnaw through stucco and plaster. Florida is used to strange creatures, but the discovery of this non-native animal, a giant snail from East Africa, has got local officials really worried.  It is thought to have originated in East Africa, but has since spread through many countries in Southeast Asia and islands in the Pacific Ocean, including the Hawaiian Islands. More recently, this mollusc gained access to South America (Brazil) and the Caribbean islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Lucia, Barbados and Saint Martin/Saint Maarten. In 1966 it was found in Miami-Dade County of southern Florida. 

The snails attack pretty much anything that's in their path. Each snail can live as long as nine years. In a typical year, every mated adult lays about 1,200 eggs. Giant African Land Snail grows to a length of nearly 8 inches (20 cm) and a diameter of 5 inches (13 cm). It is conical in shape, tapering to a distinct point at one end, but rounded at the other. Although varied in appearance, this snail typically is light brown, with dark brown stripes

This creature is a pest in homes because of their fondness for stucco, devoured for the calcium content they need for their shells. The Giant African Land Snail is most abundant in unnatural (disturbed) areas such as gardens. Typically, they have a daytime resting site and then wander out at night to feed. Adults often return to their resting site in the morning, but immature snails are less likely to do so. They normally seek shaded, sheltered resting locations with high humidity, but can climb trees and walls to rest. 

Snails are hermaphrodites, which means that they contain both female and male reproductive organs. Upon hatching, young snails remaining in the soil for 1-2 weeks before digging their way to the surface and feeding on decaying plant matter (detritus) and suitable living plants. These Giant African Land Snails are active over a temperature range of about 48-90°F (9-32°C), but can survive both lower and higher temperatures, sometimes by burrowing into the soil

Snails favor high humidity. Therefore, elimination of mulch, ground cover and other dense vegetation, wood and stones will deny them a moist, sheltering environment. Reducing the amount of irrigation may similarly deny them the moist environment they prefer.

Snails are susceptible to traps.  Giant African snail seems to be particularly attracted to banana and papaya fruit, so these can be used as baits to attract them.

Snails often are large enough to be seen easily, so they can be collected by hand. It is important to wear gloves or to use an implement to pick up the snails as some snails can carry diseases transmitted to humans by touch.  The Giant African Land Snail also has proven to be injurious by transmitting disease organisms to plants and animals, including humans. It can serve as an intermediate host for rat lungworm, which can cause meningoencephalitis in humans, although no such cases have yet been identified in the United States.  If you do collect snails, you can kill them by sealing them in a plastic bag and then placing the bag in a freezer overnight.

If you live in Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, or anywhere in Southwest Florida and have a problem with Giant African Snails or smaller Florida Brown Snails call Collier Pest Control, 239-455-4300, for a full explanation on our Snail Control Treatment or look us up on our website at collierpestcontrol.com for all our services and information on most of Florida’s problem pests.  Remember Florida does not have to be shared with pests.

WASPS THE CICADA KILLER CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

THE CICADA KILLER

The Cicada Killer Wasp gets its name from the fact it hunts and puts a cicada in each of its nests as food for its young (larva).  The Cicada Killer is an ominous looking wasp that flies around homes and business in the spring and early summer being a nuisance.  Many people think this is a very large Yellowjacket.  This large wasp is recognized by measuring about 1 and 5/8 inch long and with a rusty to black color with yellowish markings on its abdomen.  It is also recognized by the large holes it borrows into the ground to lay its eggs.  Typically they use bare ground as nesting sites.  Each Cicada Killer digs a single borrow, then locates a cicada, stings it, and brings the paralyzed cicada back to the burrow.  One or 2 cicadas may be placed in each burrow and an egg is deposited on one of the cicadas.  The wasp larva feeds on the paralyzed cicada.  These large dangerous looking wasps, generally the females will not sing unless handled or stepped on, males will buzz people but cannot sting.  These insects are beneficial by helping control the cicada population.  If the Cicada Killer Wasp become too much of a nuisance, cover as much of the bare ground around your home or business or we can treat the bare ground area with limited effect over the nesting period.

If you live in Naples, Fort Myers, or Southwest Florida call 239-455-4300 Collier Pest Control, Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority, for a full explanation about bees, wasps or on any of our services or look us up on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com.  Remember Florida does not have to be shared with insects.

ANTLIONS IN YOUR LAWN COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

ANTLIONS

 

Antlions are common, conspicuous insects in Florida. Florida has the richest antlion fauna in the eastern United States with 22 species in nine genera. Four species are found only in the Keys.  Most people know this insect because of the funnel-shaped pit, up to 2 inches in diameter and depth, produced by the larval stages of this insect to trap ants. Children in the southern United States coined the term "doodlebugs" to describe their antics. In the summer, homeowners sometimes notice small funnel-shaped pits next to their foundations, usually in fine, dry soil or sand. A few people even call about these pits, worried they are signs of termites.  Larvae have globular abdomens and narrower, flattened heads bearing sickle-shaped jaws. Adults superficially resemble damsel flies or dragonfly-like. Adults Antlions are a drab-color with 2 pair of long, narrow wings and a long slender abdomen.

Adults fly infrequently and lay eggs in the sand. The larva develops through several stages (instars), digging many pits, before pupating in a spherical, sand-covered cocoon in the spring or summer. Development may occur over two years.

Larvae have piercing jaws (mandibles) used to pierce ant bodies and suck out body fluids. Larvae produce traps by burrowing into the sand and will remain buried at the bottom of the pit trap with only their jaws exposed. Ants and other small insects falling in the trap are prevented from leaving by the larvae constantly throwing more sand up onto the sides of the trap. 

Look for larval pit traps in dry sandy areas, such as underneath eaves of houses or overhanging rocks. Larvae can be sifted out of the sand. Antlions are absolutely harmless and cause no damage to flowers, people or structures. You can handle them and they do not bite. They only feed on ants and other insects that fall into their traps.

If you live in Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, or anywhere in Southwest Florida and would like to know more about Antlions or any of our services, call 239-455-4300, Collier Pest Control, Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority or look us up on our website at collierpestcontrol.com.

PEST CONTROL CONCERNS ANSWERED FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

PEST CONTROL CONCERNS

The concerns most people have with pest control service is just a lack of information.  At Collier Pest Control we choose our products by how toxic the product is and the formulation of the product.  The first thoughts we have in how we chose our products is how toxic the product is to our customers and technicians.  

ALL OUR PRODUCTS ARE LESS TOXIC THAN MOST HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS.

Today’s modern convinces include many natural and manmade products to give us a higher standard of living.  When purchasing these products, there is a personal responsibility to pick and choose the product that combines proper safety and environmental protection for the usage needed.  Most people are not aware of the level of toxicity a product has when using it.  The general public also is not aware that the government has given us a standard code of toxicity on which each product is measured.  The level of toxicity must be put on the front of the label on any non food product produced just below the words KEEP OUR THE REACH OF CHILDREN.  The levels are NO WORD being the lowest, CAUTION, WARNING, and  DANGER.  All our products our within the caution level of toxic levels.  Many household products fall within the warning and danger levels of toxicity. 

The second thoughts we have in how we chose our products is to how effective they will be in controlling our Florida problem pests.  We chose micro-cap products and crack and crevice products produced by Whitmire Labs.  Today's pest control materials are now designed to last at least a period of 90 days in most environmental conditions.

 Most of Collier Pest Control’s outside materials are formulated in a micro-cap solution, similar to your cold micro encapsulated cold products, to give all our customers protection for the full guarantee period when treating the mulch beds, flower beds, eaves, soffits, and 5-10 feet around the perimeter of  a home.  This means it will deteriorate slowly and be not neutralized when exposed to sunlight, rain, or even lawn sprinklers outside.  

Our interior materials will not be exposed to those conditions to shorten the life of the material, so they will normally have a longer residual life. 

The materials we provide for our interior that are not micro-caped are crack and crevice materials produced by BASF and Whitmire Labs.  These materials have pure active ingredients with no added water or oils to be mixed with.  This allows the product to be even more effective and give a longer life for the interior, in the cracks and crevices.

All Collier Pest Control’s interior application of materials is in a crack, crevice, or void.  This way the materials are in areas where insects will either hide or travel through.  By placing the materials in cracks and crevices, customers or their pets cannot be in touch with any of the materials and the product will last the full guaranteed period, since they cannot be touched or washed away.  

If you have safety concerns about having pest control services to your home or business, call Collier Pest Control, 239-455-4300, or look us up on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com for a full explanation on our services and products we use.

ROACH ASIAN COCKROACH CONTROL FORM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYER FLORIDA

ASIAN COCKROACHES

 

Collier Pest Control is your Southwest Florida Pest Authority, including the Asian Cockroach.  The Asian Cockroach was recently introduced into Florida as a new species in 1986.  It has spread over at least one third of the state, from the center of Florida to Collier County and Southwest Florida.   

The Asian Roach is a rural and suburban pest that mainly infests single family, suburban houses and yards.  The Asian Roach is abundant outdoors, where populations of 30,000 to 250,000 per acre have been found.  The adults are strong fliers and can fly up to 120 feet in a single flight.

Adult Asian Roaches take flight even during the day if disturbed.  At dusk there is a frenzy of activity when adults are active in grass and mulch. These active pests invade any opening in a house, such as a lighted doorway or window.  Once inside, they crawl on illuminated television screens and walls while the lights are on during the evening.

The Asian Roach is almost identical in appearance to the German cockroach.  Many people confuse this outdoor pest with the most common of indoor infestations, the German Roach.  The wings of the Asian Roach are usually longer and are lighter brown in color than most German Roaches.  Asian Roaches are found mostly outdoors but can be seen inside around windows, doors, illuminated lighting and away from food areas.  The German Roach is always found inside and around food areas.  The female Asian Roach can produce an egg capsule with 40 eggs every 28 days.  The nymphs will mature to adults in about 6 to 7 weeks.

Collier Pest Control can control these outdoor pests with our “Collier Complete” pest control service.  We can thoroughly treat all your inside cracks and crevices and complete the service with a broadcast spraying of the eaves, soffits, flower beds, entry ways, and 5 to 10 feet perimeter around your home.

ANTS PHARAOH ANT TREATMENT FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

Pharaoh Ants

     If you have found out, you have Pharaoh Ants. This will give you a start on what to do about them.

     The first thing you need to know is Pharaoh ants have multiple queen colonies. Each colony can have as many as one hundred queens or more and up to one million workers, and there may be more than one colony around your home. This is the reason homeowners are unsuccessful in ridding their homes of these ants. Each time killing bait or chemical spray is used on trailing ants the problem is made worse. The queens that remain in the nest produce more eggs to rebuild the nest bigger than before to ensure proper care of the colony.

     Pharaoh ants enter your home or building by hitch hiking a ride in a box, furniture, grocery bag, or by walking in from next door. It usually takes three to four months to begin seeing worker ants foraging for food on your counters, and by this time the colony is becoming well established. Pharaoh ants will feed on a variety of food sources. These ants need protein, carbohydrates, and fat in their diet and can be seen eating anything from soap to cosmetics, chemicals, dead insects, and food crumbs we leave behind.

     The only effective method of controlling Pharaoh ants is using sterilizing bait followed up by killing bait. Traditional chemical or baiting methods will not eliminate Pharaoh ants. NONE!

SPIDER FACTS WITH 6 MONTH GUARANTEED CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

SPIDER FACTS

Spiders are arachnids not insects.  Arachnids have 8 legs, no antennae, and 2 body regions.  Insects have 6 legs, 1 pair of antennae, and 3 body regions.  There are about 37,000 species of spiders that have been named.  This represents only about 1/4^th the total amount of all spiders.  Luckily only a few types are considered household pests and almost all spiders found in Florida are harmless to humans.  Almost all spiders possess venom, but most cannot penetrate the skin of humans with their fangs.

Poisonous spiders, specifically those dangerous to humans, are few in number.  Only five species of venomous spiders occur in Florida, which are; The Southern Black widow, The Northern Black Widow, The Red Widow, The Brown Widow, and occasionally seen The Brown Recluse.  If bitten by a spider, keep it in rubbing alcohol for a positive identification by a professional.  If it happens to be one of these venomous spiders you might need medical attention immediately.  Collier Pest Control recommends if bitten by any spider or insects.  First, try to identify the species of pest you where bitten by.  Then, rub the bitten area of your body with ammonia, and then cover the bitten area with ice to reduce the swelling to the area.  If you are not sensitive or allergic to spider or insect bites, the irritation from the bite will be reduced within a few minutes.  If you have had an experience with sensitivity or allergic reaction to spider or insect bites, seek medical attention immediately.   Bring the pest that bit you to the medical attendant for proper identification.

Most spiders live one to two seasons.  Some primitive spiders can live up to 10 years. A female spider does not ordinarily feast on her mate as fable tells us, but males do die soon after mating.  Spiders require shedding their exoskeleton usually 4 to 12 times before becoming an adult.  

All Spiders are predators that depend mostly on live insects for their food source.  They will also feed on other spiders when available.  Some Spiders make webs to snare their prey; others are hunters that search for their prey.  When feeding on their prey, spiders inject a digestive fluid into their prey before eating it.  Spiders can survive for long periods of time without feeding.  Some Spiders have kept alive for over 2 years without feeding.  Spiders never feed on plants or non-living materials, including grains and fabrics.

Some Spiders are associated with moisture and found in basements, crawl spaces, and damp parts of buildings.  Other types of Spiders live in warm dray places.  These can be found in subfloor air vents, and upper corners of rooms and attics,   newly hatched Spiders are very tiny and can easily enter your home through screens and around loose fitting doors and windows.  Spiders regularly hid in cracks, darkened areas, or other retreats which they construct of silk.

Controlling Spiders indoors may involve nothing more than vacuuming up the Spiders, their webs, and egg sacs.  Removal of clutter or other sanitation steps directed at the conditions favoring Spiders will help reduce Spider infestation.  Successful Spider management indoors begins by eliminating the Spiders food source with are insects and other Spiders. Routine pest control maintenance, tightly fitted screens and weather strips on doors and windows will keep out unwanted pests.  Also, inspect such things as; firewood, cut flowers, nursery plants, and anything brought into the home.  

Controlling Spiders outside your home can be as easy as wiping down, washing, and pressure spraying all webs, Spiders, and eggs sacs.  Turning off outside lights when not needed, and routine pest control treatments will control most Spider infestations for most homes.

If your Spider infestation is bigger than you can handle with regular maintenance or you just don’t wish to see exterior Spiders around your home.  Collier Pest Control, Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority, can eliminate unwanted Spiders from around the outside of your home for up to 6 months at a time with our specially designed for Southwest Florida Spider Service.  We will treat all the eaves, soffits, doors frames, window frames, lighting, pool cages, inside garages, and any place a spider can cling.  If you live in Naples, Fort Myers, or Southwest Florida call 239-455-4300 for a free estimate and a complete explanation on any of our services, or look us up on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com.  Don’t let unwanted guests spoil your beautiful Southwest Florida lifestyle.  Remember, Florida does not have to be shared with Spiders or insects.

WASP MUDD DOBBER WASP PEST CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

THE MUDD DOBBER WASP

The Mudd Dobber Wasp gets its name from the fact that they construct their next of mud.  They are typically a nuisance pest, building their mud nests on sheltered sites like eaves, porch ceilings, garages, sheds, barns, open attic, or any protected wall or structure.  The Mudd Dobber Wasp is recognized by its ½ to 1 inch very slender metallic black body.  The nest looks like a clump of mud stuck on to the side of a structure and as the young adult Mudd Dobbers emerge from the nest they leave small holes in the nest, showing the nest is old or inactive. The Mudd Dobber Wasp does not defend their nests, and only rarely sting.  These wasps are beneficial insects and help control spiders.  If control is needed, first treat and control the female Mudd Dobber Wasp and then remove the nest from the structure with a putty knife or scraper.  Activity can be discouraged in a given area by an application of a microencapsulated material on the structure.

If you live in Naples, Fort Myers, or Southwest Florida call 239-455-4300 Collier Pest Control, Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority, for a full explanation about bees, wasps or on any of our services or look us up on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com.  Remember Florida does not have to be shared with insects.

FROG CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

TREE FROGS

Frogs are common throughout the world. There are over 85 species here in the United States. The most common species include tree frogs, toads, and bullfrogs. Tree frogs and bullfrogs are most common where there is adequate water for their survival and reproduction. Toads are more prevalent where it is dry. Though tree frogs are considered beneficial because they eat insects, in some cases local populations can become a nuisance.

Tree frogs can become a problem for many reasons. Tree frogs mostly live in trees but will find their way into homes. Once there, they will hide behind shutters, under siding window frames, siding, rain gutters, overhanging bricks and facia boards away from sunlight in shaded areas are all prime tree frog hiding sites during the day. Tree frogs like these areas and at night they will emerge to feed.

The problem with having tree frogs on your home is that they tend to make a mess. Their droppings will quickly accumulate below where they are nesting. Tree frog droppings look a lot like rat droppings and can easily fool people into believing they have a rodent problem.  While frogs in and of themselves may be harmless, but they often will leave feces and a sticky residue wherever they go.

Collier Pest Control Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority can help with our Frog and Lizard Repellant Treatment.  We can treat all areas around your home or business where tree frogs are roosting, such as: the soffits, eaves, lighting, garage, doors, window sills, pool cage, lanai furniture, and even around plants.  This all natural clear treatment material does not stain.  It repels frogs, toads, and lizards away by releasing a scent certain animals can detect and don’t like. Because this is an all natural treatment, monthly applications should be made to continue keeping your home or business Frog, Toad, and Lizard Free.

FLIES TROUBLESOME MOTH FLY CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

MOTH FLYS

An annoying and troublesome pest that concerns numerous homeowners is the moth fly, also commonly known as the drain fly, filter fly, or sewage fly. Moth flies are frequently found indoors on windows, sinks and walls. The source of the fly infestation is generally from sinks and floor drains, or from nearby sewage plants or waste disposal areas. Polluted waters and wet organic materials are preferred breeding areas of the fly.

The adult fly is about one-tenth inch long (about one-third the size of a housefly). It has a dark gray body and lighter colored wings. The body and wings are densely covered with long hairs which give the body a fuzzy or hairy appearance, hence the name “moth fly”.

Eggs are deposited throughout the spring and summer in moist, decomposing organic materials. The gelatinous organic deposits, which accumulate in drains, provide an ideal breeding site. Eggs hatch into the maggots, which feed in this organic matter. Under favorable conditions, maggots mature in about two weeks and form a hard shell (puparium) within which the pupa forms and from which the adult fly emerges.

Control varies with the origin of the moth fly infestation. The most economical and sanitary way is to remove the organic material in which they breed. This requires cleaning sinks, drain pipes, and traps with a stiff wire brush or by steam. Several new products are now available that contain either bacteria or enzymes which breakdown the gelatinous scum in drains. They are applied as either a pour around the drain lip or injected as foam. Most pest management companies provide this as a service. To determine which drain is infested, place a jar over the outlet or tape a plastic bag over the opening of the overflow outlet. Check the container at intervals for adult flies.
