Why You Shouldn’t Try to Treat Rodent Infestations Alone

Rodent trap

Rodents are extremely difficult to keep out of the home and if they infiltrate your home, rodents are very hard to detect. Even when you discover the presence of rodents in your home, getting rid of them is not easy. The reason they are awfully hard to eliminate is that rodents are good at concealing themselves and are highly adaptive.

At the same time, a rodent problem that is allowed to fester will only get worse as the creatures do more damage. If they are not removed, rodents will multiply to the point where they drive out the human occupants of the home. Letting rodents live in your home can expose you and your family to threats on several fronts, warns Pro X Property.

Why You Shouldn’t Try to Treat Rodent Infestations Alone

With rodents in your house, expect the following:

  • Massive food wastage and contamination: Rodents consume an incredible amount of food. But they will contaminate far more food than they eat by leaving bacteria, urine, and fecal matter on food that they walk over. Rodents will destroy food containers and spill their contents or make them go bad.
  • Property damage: They will damage the materials in your home by chewing on them. Rodents will destroy stored paper, fabrics, electrical wires, plastic pipes, wood items, insulation, and drywall. They will get into appliances and cause malfunction. Rodents are a safety risk and financial drain.
  • Exposure to diseases and germs: Eating food contaminated with rodent urine, feces, and saliva will expose you to illness. Rodents also carry dangerous diseases which they can transmit to humans. A bite by a rodent may cause illness or even death in the victim.
  • Discomfort and embarrassment: Rodents will foul up the home with their waste and presence. They will damage the aesthetics of the home. Rodents will frighten and embarrass you and your guests. Their noise can keep you up at night.

If you have found rodents in your home, you should attack the problem at once. But the solutions you use must be speedy and comprehensive. Applying ineffective or half-hearted measures will only make the problem worse.

This is why you should never deal with a rodent infestation by yourself. With every failed
attempt to remove rodents from your home, the cost, and effort of fixing the problem increases.
The reasons for this are explained below:

Why treating rodent infestation on your own is a bad idea

First, rodents are not the main problem. Yes, rodents are a problem but there are other things that make rodent presence in the home possible. These are:

  • Rodent entry points
    Most homeowners have no clue how rodents get into their homes. Even when they see possible points of entry, they don’t think the openings are large enough to let the creatures in. An exterminator, on the other hand, knows where to look for entry points and how to seal them.
  • Rodent food sources
    Rodents can’t survive unless they have access to food and water. Homeowners are often unintentionally feeding the very creatures they are trying to get rid of. A professional exterminator implements a comprehensive solution that gets rid of potential food sources.
  • The condition of the home’s exterior
    The home’s exterior can help to sustain the rodent population inside the home. If the outdoor areas offer favorable conditions for rodent survival, the problem may not be solved. Professional exterminators will take these into considerations when taking action.

The second reason it is a bad idea to tackle rodent infestation of your home by yourself is you may underestimate the rodents in your home. How is this important?

  • Rodents are very smart
    Rodents are mammals. Like other mammals such as dolphins and dogs, they are very intelligent. If you try to eliminate a rodent with a specific method and fail, the method will never work with that rodent again. Furthermore, the rodents will teach their offspring to avoid whatever method you used.
  • Homeowners don’t study rodent behavior
    Rodents are always watching you; that’s why they are able to get about undetected. They understand your habits, but you don’t know their habits. To deal with rodents effectively, you should know their numbers, life stages (do they have babies), and habits. Professional exterminators study the animals to get this information before they choose the best solution. 
  • Trap selection and placement is not so straightforward
    Rodents will take baits out of a trap without setting off the trap. Professional exterminators know how to counter this. Homeowners mostly use rodenticides, but these pose a danger to small children and pets. Professional exterminators have diverse solutions including capturing the creatures and releasing them into the wild.
  • Rodent extermination is not a one-off exercise
    After rodent extermination is done by an exterminator, they will follow up with visits to the home to make sure no rodents are left. Homeowners don’t do this and the baby rodents which escaped simply grow up and repopulate the home.

Finally, when you use a professional exterminator, you can avoid such unpleasant outcomes as a poisoned rat dying inside the walls and fouling up your home.

Terminate Termites in Your Kansas City Home for Good!

Put an End to the Termite Invasion of Your Home

Just like numerous other types of bug infestations, lots of people finding themselves with a termite invasion in their Kansas City home assume that they can acquire a termite treatment locally and do the job themselves.

Well, in some instances where there is a problem in a fairly small structure, well away from the main property this might be possible, but, treating termites is a undertaking which requires knowledge and know how and should really be left to a professional.

Time For a Termite Treatment

To help you decide whether to tackle a termite problem yourself ask yourself do you have a wide knowledge of building construction? If the answer is no, you will undoubtedly have huge problems in identifying the most likely entry points for the termites. Can you safely handle the specialist equipment required? By this I mean tools such a masonry drills, soil treatment rods etc. Again if the answer is no or not sure do not attempt this! Remember, this is not a job involving using a little spray bottle at intervals around the
house.

Termite colonies will usually comprise of many hundreds of thousands of tiny pests, all hunting for food in a vast array different directions. With this in mind having a termite treatment carried out only in limited locations might be a false economy because there is a strong possibility that the termites will simply find another entry point into your house. Also that most termite treatment companies will not offer any warranty for this type of treatment.

However, if you do have a termite problem having the whole property treated is undoubtedly the best option. So what are the best termite treatments? Our company primarily does the perimeter plus treatment with Termidor HE, which means we treat the exterior plus the area of your home that is infested on the inside. We have found this to be the most effective treatment for you, the customer.

As a rule of thumb, provided the termite treatment is executed in a thorough manner and following manufacturers instructions your home should be protected from further termite invasion for a full 5 years. However this can vary and depends on factors such as environmental conditions and the numbers of termites. Any problems with termites within the first year or so is in most instances nothing to do with the failure of the actual chemical treatment but more to do with the termites discovering any small gap which has been missed during treatment.

The use of any type of chemicals immediately brings to mind the question are they harmful to humans or animals? All of the chemicals used in termite treatments are tested exhaustively. Our certified applicators will perform a safe and thorough application, with minimum intrusiveness to your home.

The best way to get rid of termites is to call a professional exterminator. Ram Exterminators has over 25 Years of experience in getting rid of termites. Call us today at 913-677-2700

A Safe and Eco-Friendly Form of Pest Control!

Are you looking for a safe and effective method for termite pest control?

If so, you might want to take a closer look at orange oil termite control methods.

Not only is orange oil a proven effective method for getting rid of termites, it is also environmentally safe and non-toxic.

Of course, when it comes to understanding the best methods of termite pest control, it is also helpful to gain a better understanding of termites and how they are colonized. By understanding their colonies, you can better understand how to prevent swarms of termites from forming, as well as how to get rid of them once they infest your home.

In short, termites are colonized into three different groups. These groups are:

•Workers

•Solders

•Reproductives

The majority of the termite colony is made up of the worker group. The workers are responsible for feeding all of the other groups, as well as for digging tunnels, locating food and water, and building and repairing the nest.

The soldiers, on the other hand, have specialized defensive weaponry they use to protect the colony from predators such as centipedes and ants.

As the name suggests, the reproductives are responsible for founding new colonies and reproducing. As such, the reproductives have wings that allow them to fly and find a place for new colonies.

Clearly, the key to termite pest control is to not only destroy the original colony, but to also destroy the reproductives. Otherwise, they will set up new colonies and your problem will not go away. This is one of the benefits to using orange oil termite control, as it can be used to cover large areas and provide a long-lasting effect.

Unlike other forms of termite pest control, however, orange oil is environmentally safe and is not harmful to pets or children. In fact, you don’t have to worry about leaving your home for hours on end while it is being treated with orange oil.

While no one expects the average homeowner to become an expert on termites, the more knowledgeable you possess, the less likely you are to suffer from a termite infestation and the resulting effects and damage. Understanding how termites reproduce and live enables you to avoid creating an ideal living environment for the colony.

Call Ram Exterminators today to get rid of your termites and keep the environment safe with orange oil!!

Kansas City Termite Swarming Season

Kansas City Termites Swarming Right Now!

swarming termitesKansas City’s termites including: drywoodand subterranean become reproductive in Spring and early Summer. The warm humid weather ignites their activity and is very visible when the termites swarm.

What is a termite swarm?

Termites swarm when they are in search of finding a mate to reproduce with. Only the winged termites are reproductive and are capable of beginning new colonies. These winged termites are referred to as the “swarmer” termite. The “swarmers” leave the existing colony in which they belong to in search to begin a new colony. During the process of “swarming”, they males pair with their female mates and fly off to separate locations in hopes to birth enough termites to begin a new colony.

The best time to witness a subterranean termite swarm in Kansas City is during a hot humid evening. The drywood termites are commonly during the day after a heavy rainfall. The termites are very poor flyers and drift in the area mainly by the prevailing winds. They are attracted to light, so often you will see their wings and perhaps dead termites near lamps, windows, and other light sources. Once they land they chew off their wings and mate. The pair then try to find a wood source to infest and breed.  Unfortunately, for them, most of the termite swarmers do not survive, and are eaten by other predators such as ants, and spiders. Many of the termite swarmers do not find shelter and dry up and die.

Click Here or Call (913) 677-2700 for a Termite Pest Control Evaluation Today!

A sure sign of having a termite infestation in your Kansas City home is the presence of these pellets or fallen wings. This is when you must act immediately and inquire about having a termite inspection performed by the local pest control company in Kansas City like RAM Exterminators.  They offer Termite Treatments guaranteed for up to 5 years!

If you find yourself concerned about having a possible termite infestation without the sure signs, contact RAM Exterminators for a Termite Inspection. They can easily and immediately determine if your home has termites or if it is at risk of having them.

Targeting a termite infestation is most effective if caught at the early infestation point. Never allow signs of termites to go uninspected. Allowing your home to have a annual termite check up is highly recommended to all Kansas City residents. This drastically reduces the chances of having your home invaded by termites.

Signs of Termite Damage to Your Kansas City Home

termitesTermites are nasty little pests that can cause major damage to houses and other structures. While they play an important role in nature by helping break down fallen wood in forests, these skills tend to be appreciated much less in our homes, shops and barns.

If you are concerned about termite infestation, the most important thing you can do is be on the lookout for signs of termite damage. You can do this yourself several times throughout the year, but it can also be very helpful to hire a professional pest control service like RAM Exterminators to inspect your home annually.

Here are the three most common signs of termite damage:

1. Seeing Termites

The first and most obvious sign of termite damage will be seeing the termites themselves. Termites typically swarm in the spring months but you can see them anytime. They are drawn to light and can sometimes be found on lights and around windows. Don’t be alarmed if you see swarming termites outside near fallen trees or tree stumps. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have a termite problem but it might be prudent to arrange for an termite inspection. It is important to act on the first signs of termite to avoid more complications in the future. Termites can be very destructive.  If you do have termites,  Ram Exterminators offers a termite treatment that is GUARANTEED for 5 YEARS!

2. Damaged Wood

Wood that has already seen termite damage may sound hollow when knocked on. The wood can be soft and easily probed with a sharp object. You may also see a gritty film on the outside of wood that has been damaged by termites.

Termites will not confine their grazing to just wood; anything containing cellulose is edible to termites. This includes cardboard, wood panels and any other material that consists primarily of cellulose, which is the main component of wood. Termites can destroy the wood work in your homes if they stay on them. It will make the wood weak and be damaged.

3. Mud Tubes

Termites travel in a series of tunnels they create called mud tubes. These tubes are made from dirt, wood particles and other debris and are often found along foundations, floor joists, behind cement porches, and sometimes even going through sheet rock. These tubes can be in places that are not easily seen, and can be in places that are hidden.

Termites can be easily controlled through expert pest control and termite treatments. If you suspect you have seen signs of termite damage or just want peace of mind, schedule a home termite inspection today and know that your home is protected.

What You Should Know About Choosing A Pest Control Company in Kansas City

With So Many Pest Control Companies in Kansas City, Choosing the Right One is Very Important!

Pest infestation is something that many homeowners are required to contend with at some point. Occasionally, this issue can’t be resolved by the simple usage of pesticides. The problem could either be that there are such a lot of pests that the amount of pesticide they have is not sufficient to cope with the nuisance, or maybe the pests are of a species you cannot come across an effective remedy for. In the event you end up in this kind of a situation, you should contact a pest control company to deal with the issue.

In a few other situations, you may use a specific type of pesticide for some time however the pests still persist. In this kind of a situation, you will also have to think about the services of a pest control company. However, just before you do that, you need to be aware of how to pick the best service. The following are some basic suggestions to make it easier to choose the best professional.

The first thing you must do is to identify the pests and research their life cycle and characteristics. The issue could be a great deal simpler than you imagine. In the event you are not able to determine the pest, it is possible to pick up a dead one and take it to your nearby agricultural office and get them to identify it for you and in addition provide you with recommendations on the best way to control it.

When you are deciding on a pest control company to work with, the very best place to ask is a referral from your family members, friends and neighbors who you know had this kind of a problem. They may have used the services of this type of company in the past and so they know which ones are the good ones and which are the bad ones. It’s unlikely they will all recommend the identical company however you will notice that more individuals have suggested one particular company above the other ones.

Once you have identified a good quality service, you need to ask them to come and inspect the site. This will permit them to identify the pest, the main impacted area and determine what pesticide they will use to resolve the problem. It’s critical that they do that to ensure that they can prepare themselves ahead of time and understand how to solve the problem in the best way possible.

As a final point, after the problem is solved, it is best to ask them for tips about how you can protect against the pest from assaulting your household once again. Normally, a good pest control company will offer you this information free of charge. You should also stay in contact with the service to ensure that the next time you have a significant pest problem, they’ll only be a phone call away.

Make the right choice when choosing a pest control company in Kansas City, call Ram Exterminators!

Nobody in Kansas City Likes These House Raiders!

Rats and Mice have been responsible for or implicated in the spread of various diseases to people and domestic animals for years. Today however, because ofimprovements in sanitation, effective drugs, and rodent and insect control programs, the disease threat from rodents is not as significant as it once was. But because of the habits of rodents traveling in sewers, garbage, etc., there are still cases of human and animal diseases being transmitted and there is also the constant potential of disease outbreaks in cities where rats and mice live in close proximity to people. However small the threat may be, it is a potential that always must be kept in mind.

Signs of House Mouse Mice Infestation

Rats and mice almost always leave signs that can lead to their discovery. The signs to look for are:

  1. Droppings or feces (critical)
  2. Burrows and trails
  3. Runways
  4. Grease marks or rub marks
  5. Urine Stains (Urine glows with a black light)
  6. Live or dead rodents
  7. Rodent sounds or scampering around
  8. Rodent odors (especially mice)
