Why To Have A Termidor Termite Treatment Done

blogger

Termites are known for destroying whatever is in their path, and getting rid of them never seems easy. According to Capital Pest Services, Inc. general manager Mitch Taylor, an extermination expert who specializes in termite control at his Raleigh-based company, termites dont have to be that scary. As long as homeowners know the proper steps to take to prevent infestations, they can safeguard their properties from these menacing creatures.

In Raleigh, termite control is an especially important topic to homeowners because termites are just so common right now. Usually, I recommend that people looking for the best way to prevent termites from entering their homes get a full house Termidor termite treatment done by a professional pest control specialist.

Conventional
The termite treatment with Termidor is a conventional liquid application that involves the treatment of the soil around the houses foundation. When a termite control specialist from my company in Raleigh reports to the job site for a Termidor termite treatment, we will begin by trenching up the soil around the foundation of the house. The termiticidewhich is a chemical used to kill termiteswill then be applied into the trench, and the soil that was displaced will be filled back in on top to cover all the effected soil back up.

Single and Best
In my experience, the Termidor termite treatment is the single best way to prevent a termite infection from occurring in a home because it treats the soil around the foundation and discourages termites from entering the area to begin with. This method is far better than waiting for trouble and then responding by calling a pest control company, since it is almost always better to be proactive and preventative with pest control issues.

Safe and Environmentally Friendly
In addition, this treatment will not harm dogs, cats, or other pets around the home. Because the termiticide is applied to the soil well below the ground, homeowners do not have to worry about their dogs accidentally eating traps or chewing on found chemicals, which could be the case with some other pest chemicals that people commonly apply.

The termiticide has undergone rigorous testing, and it has even been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for use. It is actually one of the more consumer and environmentally friendly products that is on the market. Furthermore, the termiticide that we use in our Termidor termite treatment is also present in the Front Line Flea and Tick Control medication that people give to dogs and cats. So you know that it has been exposed to pets before.

Preventative
It is important to emphasize that Termidor termite treatments are a preventative measure to prevent termite infestations from happening in the first place, not just a curative treatment intended to fix an infestation that has already begun.

Termite control is a big issue with many homeowners in Raleigh. In fact, we are usually ranking in the top 5% or 10% in terms of termite infestation rates annually across the entire nation. So our area is certainly highly infested with termites, and they can cause damage really quickly. Possibly more than any other pest, people are adamant about wanting to avoid a termite infestation in the first placeas opposed to waiting until an infestation begins and then treating itbecause they know how much damage termites can cause (though carpenter ants can also cause a fair amount of destruction). And the damage they cause can happen very quickly.

I recommend that homeowners who are interested in preventative termite control in Raleigh call my company, Capital Pest Services, for more information. Whether you live in a home that is new or old, big or small, it is worthwhile to look into having preventative termite treatments done to ensure that an infestation never begins in the first place. Even without ever having termite damage before, it is certainly beneficial to have a preventative treatment done and to be put under a warranty program.

For A Pet Tortoise Try The Herman Tortoise

blogger

The Herman tortoise which is a relatively small sized tortoise originated in Europe and is found in almost all coasts of France and also in certain parts of Italy. This tortoise is also found in the nearby islands. This makes it widely popular in Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Albania, Romania, Macedonia, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Greece, Hungary and south Italy. They prefer the widely dense forests of Mediterranean and in the arid regions with rocky hill slopes and scrubby vegetation. These areas make it easier for the Herman tortoise to find its food.

Basically, a Herman tortoise is herbivorous. It largely eats a diet that consists of green leaves and grasses. This tortoise also consumes other vegetables and fruits like the broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes, parsley, Timothy Hay, Alfalfa grass, Bermuda grass, dandelions, weeds, cactus pads, strawberries, bananas, squash, melons, apples, apricots, grapes and peaches. However, it is important that these vegetables and fruits are consumed in smaller quantities. If you have a one as a pet, it is advised not to feed it cabbage as this vegetable and its variants like the iceberg lettuce as these may have a damaging effect. These vegetables have very less nutritional value and once the tortoise starts eating them, it will give up eating other vegetables.

There have been instances when the Herman tortoise may eat insects like snails, slugs and carrions. However, this happens only with the tortoises that are in the wild. However, a this tortoise doesnt necessarily need a diet that contains animal proteins. You must take special care to feed this tortoise a diet that is rich in fiber and calcium. Vitamin D3 is also important for this tortoise and can be given to it in food if the natural sunlight is not provided. Young Herman tortoises have an attractive yellow and black shell. The backbone, ribs, shoulder blades and pelvis are all merged into the shell of the Herman tortoise.

The best tortoise house for the this species of tortoise is an outdoor enclosure. But care must be taken while building these outdoor enclosures to prevent the tortoise from escaping. If you plan to keep them indoors, necessary measures should be taken to provide them with a natural looking atmosphere. Also, this enclosure must be large enough with proper light and heat. A Herman tortoise is an adaptive and friendly reptile which makes them a great pet to have.

Smart, Stylish Pet-food Storage Solutions

blogger

If pets had their way, they’d raid the bags containing their kibble and help themselves to an all-day feast, every day. This is hardly a desirable scenario, as it leads to obesity and digestive upset, so take care to store food where pets can’t get at it while you’re not looking.

Dogs, by the way, are not the only ones guilty of raiding bags of kibble; hungry cats have also been known to apply their claws and teeth to almost-full bags – even those heavy-duty foil models! – and help themselves to heaps of between-meal snacks.

Most pet-food storage containers are made of plastic, which is porous (so their contents are not safe from bacteria) and easily gnawed open by a large, determined dog.

Pet-supply stores sell large clips to “reseal” opened bags of kibble – but these do nothing to prevent the contents from growing stale, or permitting the entry of hungry insects.

Happily, there are much better, more sanitary ways to store large bags of opened kibble.
If there’s room in your refrigerator, stick the opened bag of kibble in there. Or, decant the contents of the bag into glass food-storage jars. These are widely available at kitchen-supply stores and online, and they come in a variety of sizes and shapes, from round to square. Some have threaded metal lids, others close with a rubber washer that securely closes with a metal clamp.

If you’d like double protection – refrigeration plus a glass jar – investigate refrigerator glassware, widely available in nesting sets, complete with convenient plastic lids. Just don’t subject glass that isn’t made for refrigerator storage to your fridge’s chilly atmosphere, or it will crack and break, and you’ll have wasted all that kibble.

In the fridge or out, glass jars keep pets and bugs away from the food, and they look quite decorative just sitting there on your kitchen counter or shelf. The good habit of transferring kibble from the bag to the jar could even inspire you to be better about putting away flour, sugar, and other bagged food items!
