Stinging insects like bees and wasps are challenging to handle and even frightening. Many people feel threatened when they are in the presence of a stinging insect because getting stung is painful and can even be deadly to those people who are highly allergic to these pests. Social wasps and bees are responsible for most stings as they are trying to defend and protect their nests. Because bees and wasps like to nest in or near human homes, we are likely to encounter these stinging pests.

Bees and wasps are actually quite beneficial in nature. Bees are responsible for the pollination of many plants. Wasps capture a variety of insect pests and feed them to their young. Worker bees and wasps take care of their queen by protecting her eggs, gathering food, and maintaining the nest.

If you discover a nest of stinging pests in or near your home, call a pest management professional. They will help you get rid of the pests in a safe and efficient manner. Pest control professionals have the chemicals and equipment necessary to solve stinging pest problems and safely dispose of the nests. They know how to protect themselves from getting stung while eliminating the pests from the area.

If you have a stinging pest infestation in your home area and need the assistance of a professional pest control company in Orlando, call Pro-Staff today at 407-292-PEST.

Over the past few years in Orlando, we have experienced some of the coldest winters in 25 years. Because of the chilly temperatures, St. Augustine grass lawns have suffered and some have yet to recover. If this year’s winter temperatures hit record lows again, it may result in more harm to St. Augustine lawns in Orlando. However, if this winter proves less harsh than previous winters, the grass can continue to grow from the roots up and when spring comes, the turf will turn green and then grow thicker.

Cooler temperatures and rainy afternoons in Orlando may cause brown patch fungus in some lawns. Also, as the days get shorter, you may notice that your lawn is thinning, particularly on the North Side of your home. This is because of the reduction of the vital sunlight during the days, which keeps the grass healthy.

Even though cooler temperatures do bring some potential troubles to your lawn, other problems are easier to manage in this weather. Insect problems such as chinch bugs and sod webworms lessen when the temperature drops. Also, scale problems with shrubs and ornamentals can safely be controlled in the cooler Orlando weather.

If you are having trouble maintaining your St. Augustine lawn and need assistance, Pro-Staff offers around the year treatment to keep your lawn in top condition and free from pests. Pro-Staff Termite & Pest Control was awarded the Best in Orlando for the third consecutive year by the US Local Business Administration.

Sometimes it’s difficult to imagine what the magnitude of structural damage a termite can inflict is.  To put who is affected into perspective, look at the following numbers (furnished by Pest Management Professional Magazine):

Government Facilities-2%
Miscellaneous Structures-4%
New Commercial Construction-4%
New Home Building-9%
Existing Commercial Structures-11%
Existing Residential Structures-70%

So when the real estate market is already teetering on unstable ground, we have termites that are contributing to additional grounding.  Most of the jobs commissioned to take care of termites are spawned from swarms.  The problem termites are mostly eastern subterranean, drywood, Formosan subterranean, damp-wood, and a handful of others.

According to the Professional Pest Management Alliance, “38% of homeowners are concerned about termites and the structural damage they cause- second only to ants”. Termite inspections are essential to maintaining the well being of your building/home.  Initial inspections may be comprehensive, including wood application, soil application, bait installation, fumigation, and products such as wire mesh.

Don’t let termites diminish the value of your home or commercial building.  Let Pro-Staff Termite & Pest Control, Inc. protect you year-round from potential structural damage.  Call Pro-Staff today at 407-292-PEST, for your free inspection and estimate.
