With the start of the New Year in Madison, Milwaukee and surrounding areas of Wisconsin, it is time to make your resolutions. This year, focus on resolutions that will benefit you and your family by creating a pest free home.
Having a pet in your home comes with a lot of responsibilities, but one that most people don’t think about is protecting the health of your pets from the methods used in your home to eradicate pests like spiders, flies, ants and rodents. Pet safe pest control is important to keep in mind, because your pets are susceptible to pesticide chemicals the same way that humans are susceptible. At Wil-Kil Pest Control, we understand that the safety of your family and your pets is very important to you, and it’s important to us too. We want to help protect your home and family from invading pests through pet safe pest control techniques, and that is why we employ the use of Integrated Pest Management techniques.
It’s already cooling down and it won’t be long before the snow flies in Milwaukee, Madison and throughout Wisconsin. Right now insects, rodents and other pests are making their way indoors in search of the ideal overwintering site and your home or business may suit their needs.
Ants, spiders, mice, box elder bugs and other pests are common fall pest problems and may, depending on the pest, go unnoticed or cause damage inside your structure that could lead to fire hazards and expensive repair bills. To prevent pests from invading your Wisconsin home or business, Wil-Kil Pest control, a Wisconsin pest control company, would like to offer property owners and managers some suggestions for pest-proofing.
Have you heard of bioremediation? If you are in the food service industry, chances are you have. Bioremediation is any process that makes use of microorganisms or their enzymes to sanitize a contaminated environment, and this is especially important in the food service industry, where cleanliness can be of the utmost importance. At Wil-Kil, we take our commercial bioremediation services very seriously. If you have bad odors emanating from your restaurant kitchen, your drain line or your grease traps are clogged, you may lose customers and your reputation can become tarnished. We understand how badly a drainage problem can be for your bar, restaurant or food processing facility and that’s why we offer our professional bioremediation services throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northern Illinois, Northeast Iowa and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
As the weather gets cooler and fall seems to just be a few cool nights away, we get more and more calls from concerned people regarding wasps, bees and other stinging insects and what can be done to get rid of them. Sometimes these insects can be beneficial, but they can also pose a very serious health risk if they’ve built their nests in the eaves of your home. Many people tend to have allergic reactions towards bee and wasp stings, so it’s important to keep these pests away from your structure and your family.
Now, what kind of stinging insect is swarming around your home? Yellow jackets, bald faced hornets and paper wasps are the most common type of wasp that people come into contact with. These insects have a smooth, shiny and slender appearance. Bees are fatter and tend to be larger, with fuzzy bodies that have dashes of yellow and black, or sometimes brown. Both of these insects will sting you if they feel they have been threatened, but wasps are the more aggressive of the two, with a desperate desire to protect their nests.
