FLEA LAWN TREATMENTS FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

FLEA LAWN TREATMENT

 

Here in beautiful Southwest Florida our flea season is all year long and can intensify between November through May. Most common fleas in this area are the Cat Fleas that are a nuisance inside and originate outside.  To correct this you need to treat all areas your pet frequents, in the house and the lawn outside.  This should be done the same time the pet is being treated by the veterinarian or yourself.

Collier Pest Control, Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority, provides an environmentally safe Flea Lawn Treatment.  It’s safe for people, pets, and plants.  This service will give you relief from fleas on your lawn and provide flea control of new adult fleas for a 90 day period.

The adult flea is a small, active, wingless, dark brown insect with a flat body.  It can jump 7 to 8 inches vertically, and 14 to 16 inches horizontally.  The eggs are laid while the female flea is on the host animal. When the pet scratches, shakes, rub up against furniture the eggs can fall off onto the floor or the furniture.  These eggs hatch into very small caterpillar-like larvae and feed on almost any organic debris including the dried blood from adult flea excrement. The flea larvae upon reaching larval maturity will pupate (form a cocoon around itself) and grow into an adult flea inside the cocoon.  Then when stimulated by heat, vibration, or carbon dioxide the flea will emerge out of the cocoon and jump on the nearby host. As an adult flea it will live 90% of the time on a host for feeding.  The adult flea has a piercing sucking mouthpart to draw blood from its host.

Collier Pest Control provides you the latest most advanced method of Flea Lawn Treatment available.  We offer you the advantages of growth regulators and residual materials to control the egg, larva, and adult stages of the flea for up to 90 days.  

If you live in Naples, Fort Myers, or Southwest Florida call 239-455-4300,Collier Pest Control today for an 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 guest spoil your beautiful Southwest Florida Lifestyle!  Remember, Florida does not have to be shared with insects!

FROGS BUFO GIANT POISONOUS FROGS 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.

THE PAPER WASP

The Paper Waspgets its name from the paper like material of which they construct their nests.  This wasp is recognized by its 5/8 to3/4 inch brownish to black bodies with yellow or red markings.  The Paper Wasps hang their comb nests under twigs and branches of trees and shrubs which can cause concern when ornamental shrubs and hedges are trimmed or fruit is being picked form trees.  They also like to hang their nests from porch ceilings, the top member of window and door frames, soffits, eaves, attic rafters, deck floor joists and railings, play ground equipment, almost any protected place imaginable.  If the nest is contacted or disturbed, the Paper Wasps on the nest at the time will defend the nest vigorously and the offender of the nest will probably get stung.  If in a breeze or wind when the Paper Wasps get disturbed, stand still and the wasps will fly around but will not follow you.  If you run the vacuum of wind from your movement will lead the wasps to you and you will get stung.  These wasps are beneficial insects by helping to control many types of insect pests.  If you need to control these wasps, it is essential that you control and kill the adults early in the morning or at night when all the wasps will be tending to the nest, then remove the nest.

LAWNS APHID PEST CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

APHIDS

 

Aphids or "plant lice" may infest almost any ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers. They feed by inserting microscopically thin mouthparts into the plant phloem and sucking out sap that is rich in sugars. As they feed, aphids also inject saliva. This saliva causes some plant leaves to curl or crinkle and flower buds may become hardened, causing the flowers to be distorted.  Overall plant vigor may suffer.  However, their ability to transmit plant viruses may be more harmful than any direct feeding damage.  Aphids are slow, fragile, insects that vary from 1/16 to 1/4 inch long. They can be black, brown, yellow, red, gray or green. They are more commonly found on camellia, crape-myrtle, gardenia, hibiscus, ixora, oak, oleander, ornamental grasses, palm, rose, as well as nearly all annual plants.  Most aphids feed on the new plant growth. 

Ants feed on the honeydew and when ants are observed, plants should be examined closely for these sucking pests. 

Examine your plants weekly during the spring, summer, and fall. Look at the undersides of a few leaves on each plant and observe the stems for aphids, especially the new growth. Many natural enemies of aphids include lady bugs, green lacewings, parasitic wasps, assassin bugs, ambush bugs and spiders.  Sometimes these parasites and predators are not able to keep aphids under control, so chemical control may be needed.  Usually aphids are not difficult to control with insecticides. But, plants may become re-infested from adjacent areas throughout the year.  

If you notice or see Aphids on your plants and they are looking sickly, call 239-455-4300 Collier Pest Control for a full explanation on how we can rid you of plant eating insects, or look us up on our website at collierpestcontrol.com.  Remember Florida does not have to be shared with insects!

ANTS BIG HEAD ANT LAWN TREATMENT FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

BIG HEAD ANTS

LAWN TREATMENTS

TheBig Headed Ant is a very successful invasive species that is sometimes considered a danger to native ants and has been nominated as one of the 100 "World's Worst" invaders.  Big Head Ants has been a pest in southern Florida for many years, and according to reports by pest control operators, it is becoming an even more pervasive nuisance as it displaces other ants.  Big Head Ants can be found nesting in disturbed soils, lawns, flowerbeds, under objects, such as bricks, cement slabs, flower pots, around trees or water pipes, along the base of structures, and walkways, where displaced soil is usually observed from the action of ants digging below the surface.  It is possible that the increase in Big Head Ant infestations was augmented by several years of excessive hurricane activity in Florida that damaged lawns and killed trees which necessitated the use of increased amounts of sod and other replacement vegetation that may have been infested with this ant. The Big Head Ant does not sting or cause any structural damage, and usually does not bite unless the nest is disturbed, and even then, the bite is not painful. 

Big Head Ants are a soil-nesting ant that leaves piles of loose sandy soil. Homeowners are annoyed by these "dirt piles" and by ants foraging in bathrooms, kitchens, around doors, and windows, as well as on exterior paved or brick walkways or driveways. Control of Big Head Ants is difficult because the ant colonies are numerous and populations usually extend across property lines. The Big Head Ant receives its common name from the large-sized head of the major worker, or "soldier." Minor workers are small reddish brown ants.

Collier Pest Control Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority has developed a successful 3 step treatment method to eliminate and control Big Head Ants.  We will treat your lawn with growth regulator materials to eliminate the development of queens producing new ants and stop the development of the larva stage (the baby ants) from growing up into adult Big Head Ants. With the addition of interior ant baiting, this 3 step lawn treatment will eliminate Big Head Ants quickly and is guaranteed for a full 90 days.  

Collier Pest Control can continue to keep the Big Head Ants away with a quarterly Big Head Ant Lawn Maintenance program and stop all unwanted Big Head Ants from moving back into your home and lawn.

If you live in Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, or anywhere in beautiful Southwest Florida call 239-455-4300 Collier Pest Control for a full explanation on our exclusive Big Head Ant Lawn Treatments or on any of our services.  All our services and most of Florida’s problem pests are also on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com.  Remember Florida does not have to be shared with insects.

LIZARDS EASTERN GLASS LIZARD CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYER FLORIDAS

EASTERN GLASS LIZARD

(SKINK)

The Eastern Glass Lizard has no legs and is often referred to as a Glass Snake.  It can be distinguished from snakes by their visible ear openings, eyelids, and small scales on the belly. It is actually a lizard, but it looks of course, like a snake.  The Eastern Glass Lizard lives mostly in the Southeast United States, and throughout Florida.  Being the largest of Florida’s native lizards, it can grow up to about 30 inches long, and they eat mostly insects and spiders.  They spend much of their lives burrowing through soil and piles of leaves in search of insects underground.  This Skink got its name because of its tail. Florida is home to four quite similar-looking legless species know as Glass Lizards.  As with many lizards, if it’s attacked and a predator has it by the tail, it can detach the tail, allowing the rest of the animal to escape and survive.  The tail of the Glass Lizard apparently will break into many pieces, like glass.  The pieces will also move, so that the predator will focus on them, and allow the body of the animal to get away.  Glass Lizards will allow themselves to be approached, but if you try to pick one up, it will thrash around wildly and probably scare you into dropping it.

If you live in Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, or anywhere in beautiful Southwest Florida and are having a problem with lizards or any other problem pest call, 239-455-4300 Collier Pest Control today for a free estimate and a complete explanation to any of our services, or look us up on our website at collierpestcontrol.com.  Do not let unwanted guests spoil your beautiful Southwest Florida lifestyle.  Remember, Florida does not have to be shared with insects!

ROACHES GERMAN COCKROACH CONTROL FROM COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS FLORIDA

GERMAN ROACHES

Collier Pest Control is your Southwest Florida Pest Authority including the German Cockroaches.   The German Roach is the most common household insect pest found in the United States.  They are usually found infesting in food preparation areas, kitchens, and bathrooms.   In severe infestations, they have the capability of living in any portion of a heated structure.  They favor warm, humid atmospheres where temperatures are around 70 to 75 degrees.  The German Roach is most active at night and hides in secluded areas such as cupboards, behind cabinets, wall voids, and motor housings of appliances.

The adult German Roach is about ½ inch long, brown, and has two dark longitudinal bands or streaks on the top the thorax (just behind the head).   German Roaches are regularly carried from place to place in such things as bagged potatoes, onion bags, beverage cartons, grocery bags, handbags, and in the folds of clothing.

The German Roach has the highest reproductive potential of all common pest cockroaches.  Female German Roaches produce about 30 to 50 eggs at a time.  The eggs are contained in a capsule with is attached to the tip of the abdomen and carried throughout most of the incubation period.  The eggs hatch in about 28 days at room temperature, and reach maturity in 40 to 125 days.  Adult female German Roaches live about 200 days producing 6 to 8 egg capsules or 180 to 400 eggs.

Sanitation is the cornerstone to effective and long lasting German Roach control.  Accessible water and food material must be eliminated as much as possible. Hiding, harborage areas need to be sealed off where possible.  Remove hiding areas like open trashcans, old newspapers, rag piles, unused grocery bags, unused boxes, excess grease and food around appliances, and any place a roach could hide or eat.

Collier Pest Control can control regular infestations of German Roaches with our “Collier Complete” pest control service.  If the infestation is severe, we must apply our thorough German Roach Treatment to all parts of your home.  Both services treat the cracks and crevices inside your home as well as the perimeter, mulch beds, soffits, eaves, and entryways outside effectively and quickly.

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

Bird Control

 

UNWANTED PIGIONS, SPARROWS, STARLINGS, CROWS, AND SEAGULLS.

Birds have a high rate of metabolism and spend most of their waking hours gathering food to support it.  For most birds, the male stakes out a nesting territory to attract a female. Birds can harbor disease organisms that may affect people, pets, and domesticated animals.  The actual incidence of transmission of diseases from urban pest birds is difficult to assess.  But, like rodents, when flocks of birds inhabit areas and buildings in close proximity to people, the potential for disease transmission is very real.

Bird droppings deface many urban buildings, monuments, and public spaces. The uric acid (white material) in their droppings is not just unsightly; it can damage the finish on buildings, automobiles, etc... When birds occupy warehouses and defecate on stored goods, this creates an expensive problem for the warehouse management when their customers (retailers) refuse to accept contaminated goods. 

The most common problem associated with birds nesting in buildings is bird mites invading the human occupied space during or after the nesting season. Bird mites, like northern fowl mite and tropical fowl mite, will bite humans and cause a small pustule, similar to a chigger bite.

Like rodent management programs, effective bird management programs should involve a variety of methods.  Eliminating birds food and water sources, repairing openings that birds enter, eliminate areas of nesting or roasting, apply repellants, and reduce populations are many ways to reduce the unwanted pest bird problem you may experiencing.

Collier Pest Control can assist you in many ways to eliminate your pest bird problem.  We have spines, coils, and electric tracking that can be mounted on ledges where birds roast.  We can secure netting to keep birds from entering areas.  There is bird repellants such as paste to apply where birds land and roast.  There are sound devices and many types of hanging and visual deterrents that will scare off pest birds.  If necessary, bird traps can be placed in areas to trap, remove, and relocate pest birds.

THE PAPER WASP

  

The Paper Waspgets its name from the paper like material of which they construct their nests.  This wasp is recognized by its 5/8 to3/4 inch brownish to black bodies with yellow or red markings.  The Paper Wasps hang their comb nests under twigs and branches of trees and shrubs which can cause concern when ornamental shrubs and hedges are trimmed or fruit is being picked form trees.  They also like to hang their nests from porch ceilings, the top member of window and door frames, soffits, eaves, attic rafters, deck floor joists and railings, play ground equipment, almost any protected place imaginable.  If the nest is contacted or disturbed, the Paper Wasps on the nest at the time will defend the nest vigorously and the offender of the nest will probably get stung.  If in a breeze or wind when the Paper Wasps get disturbed, stand still and the wasps will fly around but will not follow you.  If you run the vacuum of wind from your movement will lead the wasps to you and you will get stung.  These wasps are beneficial insects by helping to control many types of insect pests.  If you need to control these wasps, it is essential that you control and kill the adults early in the morning or at night when all the wasps will be tending to the nest, then remove the nest.
