La Niña to Create Significant Spring Pest Pressure
- Ants

The National Pest Management Association has released their annual bug barometer for the remainder of 2018 – and into 2019 for us on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
There are a lot of factors to try and take into account when considering what the rest of the year will hold. Much like a weather forecast, not only do scientists have to take into account the conditions in their region, but also what has been happening across the United States.
This year, La Niña brought our area unusual amounts of rain – and more snow than our neighbors were expecting as well. At the same time, it caused a milder winter for the north and southwestern areas of the country.
So, even though our winter months were unseasonably cold, the wetter weather here, as well as in Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico means that we’ll see just as many, if not more, mosquitoes as the summer months approach.
More Moisture Means More Mosquitoes
Because of the wetter ground, the mosquito life cycle will appear shortened as the first rains of summer allow eggs laid late in the year to hatch instead of having the extra time between rains.
We can also expect more termites and cockroaches as they were driven by the cold and lack of food up north down into our area and have already started to multiply. Thankfully, we can expect to see fewer ants – at least at first. The warmer winter in the Southwest kept them alive, but also means they have begun to spread sooner, and colonies may begin heading our way.
So What Does That All Mean?
All of these signs point to clear indicators that we’ll soon see the bug pressure rise. If you’d like to keep your blood pressure from rising with it, why not get a head start on the typically bug-filled summer months by beginning our Go Green Plus 3 year-round treatment for your home and exterior?
We start with a thorough outside inspection of your property – checking for and treating your foundation, soffits, entry points, landscape beds, tree bases, fire-ant mounds, and wasp nests with our 100% safe, all natural pest protection service. Then, we’ll come back at least once every 4 months to renew the treatment and make sure your home is safe from the creepy crawlies, as well as the harsh chemicals some other pest control companies use.
Many of our customers in Bradenton, Sarasota and Port Charlotte also opt for TermAssure 365. It combines our trademark Go Green Plus 3 with our world class termite protection – the best coverage you can get for your home. If you’d like more details on either one or hear more about our commitment to organic pest solutions, just give us a call!
Experts Concerned About Deadly Yellow Fever Outbreak

Once again, as rainy season for Florida approaches, Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are in the headlines. And this time, there’s a much larger potential for danger than the one posed by the Zika virus.
To be clear, Zika is still a very real threat. Except for the birth defects it can cause in pregnant women that become infected, the Zika virus causes relatively minor symptoms. Yellow Fever, on the other hand, can be deadly – and often hard to diagnose.
The last time there was a yellow fever outbreak in the United States was in New Orleans in 1905, shortly after scientists had finally linked the spread of the disease to mosquito bites. In fact, in the past 12 years, only one case has occurred within US borders, and it was travel-related.
The culprit is again the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is also connected to the dengue and chikungunya viruses.
Zika, Zika!
Much like the Zika virus, the area of most concern is Brazil, where in the past 9 months, over 1000 cases and 338 deaths attributable to yellow fever were reported. And while it appears to be somewhat contained at the moment, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and other experts are warning that there’s nothing to stop travel-related cases from spreading to our shores and beyond.
They also warn that because the disease is so rarely seen these days, most Americans are not vaccinated against Yellow Fever.
What Are The Symptoms of Yellow Fever?
Symptoms, include the sudden onset of fever, chills, a severe headache, back pain, general body aches, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and weakness. They appear three to six days after the initial mosquito bite, which makes it harder to track.
Plus, most people infected with yellow fever virus have no or only mild symptoms.
But for 15% of the population, the disease is deadly. They may feel remission for a day or so, followed suddenly by high fevers, jaundice, internal bleeding and eventually shock and multiple organ failure, leading to death.
University researchers in Miami are saying that they don’t expect Yellow Fever to explode the way Zika seemed to just a couple of years ago. For one part, it’s a matter of degrees. When Zika awareness exploded in 2016, there were 100-times more confirmed cases in Brazil than Yellow Fever infections.
And also thanks to the Zika scare in 2016, government officials have taken action to keep our mosquito populations even smaller than we have in the past.
In fact, although rainy season doesn’t officially start until May 15, some counties have already been spraying since the end of April to try and get ahead of the potential mosquito population growth over the next 6 months.
As much as we appreciate the government trying to keep ahead of the curve by battling the mosquito population with DEET and other harsh chemicals, there is a better way.
Plan Now for Mosquito Season
Our exclusive No Bite Zones technology takes the pregnant momma mosquitoes (the only ones that bite us) and turn them and their offspring into vegans, not craving warm blood. And the effect is transmitted to the next generation as well. That way mosquitoes can continue to fulfill their God-given purpose of pollinating without the threat of spreading deadly diseases.
Since we introduced MosquitoPaq in 2016, our customers from Sarasota to North Port have experienced happier, healthier summers of mosquito-bite and chemical-free zones. There’s no time like the present for you to join us in making your yard safe for the whole family. Just give us a call!
