Treat foundation and perimeter of soil on a regular basis with residual insecticide. Also treat around doors and windows. Spiders are carnivores and feed on other insects. They are often a problem around doors and windows because at night moths and other insects are attracted to the light. Reducing light tends to attract fewer insects.

2 or 3 to 20 bees between foundation & siding...

Ok, I know the title doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it will. We were taking out the bushes along our house foundation when I noticed 2 or 3 bees flying around. After backing up for a minute, I saw where they were going in between the top of the foundation (we have a basement) & the bottom of the siding. I tried to move back in to take out that one last bush, but kept getting buzzed by them. I decided to wait. Last Sat am it got down to about 39 degrees at about 5:30. After I took out the dogs & got my water hose & squirted underneath the bottom of the siding in a upwards motion for about 30 seconds & then moved back. After I got a safe distance away, there were a total of about 20 give or take that were buzzing around. With this info, can anyone give me suggestions for getting rid of them or due to the number I have seen is it too late to where I have to call an exterminator? Thanks.Read More

termites near my house

I have an area in my yard that for the life of me, no grass will grow. I raked it up today and put see down. When I came out tonight I noticed about 100 termites flying and crawling out of the ground in that area. Although it is away from the house, is this something I should be worried about? I had it inspected a year ago and have checked throughout the house with no sign of termites. I did notice though that in this area that they are, there is part of an exposed tree root. Any feedback would be appreciated. Also if anyone has any suggestions of what I can do without calling a exterm to get rid of themRead More
