MARKETING ON THE WEB WITH ONFAST.COM

 

OnFast.Com is an internet marketing program for small business to get a broad base internet exposure for your business simply and inexpensively.

Collier Pest Control has used OnFast.Com since May 4^th, 2011to promote our services on the internet.  OnFast.com set up for us a Facebook Business account, a Twitter account, and a Blog account that I can send our information to the internet I would like to promote.

How I use OnFast.Com is to copy and paste problem pest information sheets that we offer to our customers that educate them to our services and Florida’s problem pests.  I post 2 pest information sheets daily on a very simple template previously set up on the OnFast.Com program.  I then pick a day and time I wish the information to be available and click on a send Icon and these postings go to the Facebook Business Account, Twitter Account, Blog Account, and a link to our web site.  By doing these information postings about our business and services 2 things happen, first many people from all over the world see our information and comment on it through our web site, second and most important fact is that the postings exposure us to the servers on Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask, and others  to see new and fresh information daily on all of these accounts and after continued daily postings over a long period of time, your web site information is pushed to the first page on the organic listings of the topic a potential customer is looking for.

What makes this program work for us is the daily postings which we have done over the last 2 years.  We now receive over 25% of our new customers from the internet and not just our web site.  The new customers typed into the internet a subject related to our business and we came up on the first page of the organic listings to choose from.

If you are looking for more customers without spending a fortune to advertisers or internet marketing firms, I highly suggest contacting OnFast.Com and giving it a try.  You must be committed to use it daily and repeatedly.  If you do you will see the increase in new customer calls within a few months.

These Fig White Flies are hard to see compared to other species of whiteflies.  The body of the adult Fig Whitefly is yellow in color and the wings are white with a faint grey band towards the middle of the wing and a grey longitudinal bar on the inside of the back edge of each  of the front wings.

SPIRALING WHITEFLY ON TREES PEST CONTROL EXTERMINATOR BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS NAPLES FLORIDA

Rugose Spiraling Whitefly

  

The Rugose Spiraling Whitefly originated in Central America.  This is not the same whitefly that is currently causing defoliation and branch dieback of ficus in South Florida.  These whiteflies are small winged insects.  They typically feed on the underside of leaves with their needle-like mouthparts.  Whiteflies can seriously injure host plants by sucking nutrients from the plant causing wilting, yellowing, stunting, leaf drop, or even death.

The Rugose Spiraling Whitefly has a very broad host range from palms to woody ornamentals and fruits.  It has been seen on gumbo limbo, black olive, copperleaf, broadleaf arrowhead, Brazilian pepper, wax myrtle, live oak, mango, and several palms.

The adults congregate on the undersides of the leaves to feed and reproduce.  The female lays here eggs in a spiral pattern on the leaves and also deposits a white, waxy substance on the eggs.  The crawler stage hatches from the eggs and crawls around before it starts to feed with its “needle-like” mouthparts.  This stage is very small and difficult to see.

The most noticeable symptoms of an infestation of this whitefly is the abundance of white, waxy material covering the leaves and also excessive black sooty mold.  The actual effect of an infestation of Rugose Spiraling Whitefly on the health of a plant is unknown; however, whiteflies in general can cause plant decline, defoliation and branch dieback.

Monitor plants for early signs of an infestation.  Small potted plants can be washed off with water.  Larger plants can be controlled with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap or most likely will need an insecticide spraying and root drenching by a professional lawn pest control company to control these whiteflies.  They will use a systemic insecticide product that can be applied directly to the infested plant or the soil.

Collier Pest Control, Southwest Florida’s Pest Authority, will treat each infected tree with the appropriate materials by root feeding and by direct contact.  These materials will protect each tree for a period of 6 months after application.

If you suspect a problem with the Rugose Spiraling Whitefly or any other insect call our office, 239-455-4300, for a complete 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 insects.

ANTS FLORICOLA ANTS PEST CONTROL EXTERMINATOR BONITA SPRINGS FORT MYERS NAPLES FLORIDA

FLORICOLA ANT

(ALSO KNOWN AS A BICOLORED TRAILING ANT)

Sometimes called the Flower Ant, the Floricola Ant is found in tropical and sub-tropical regions.  This small and slender ant is widely known to attack other insect eggs, including butterflies.  The Floricola Ant can be distinguished by their distinctive bi-colored body, with a pale thorax and darker brown head and gaster, and a clubbed 3 segmented antenna and 2 nodes between their thorax and their gaster. 

The Floricola is primarily forming large colonies in bushes, dry stems of grasses, and trees as well as in small voids or cracks in homes to varying degrees.  They are a common urban pest in most tropical countries.

The Floricola lives on living and dead insects.   Sucking the sap from insects and collecting honeydew off plants, giving them the generic name as the flower ant.
