What’s behind the bed bug’s comeback? Nobody knows for sure, but scientists and pest management professionals (PMPs) attribute the resurgence to increased global travel and, widespread resistance to older but widely available pesticides. Fortunately, BASF Pest Control Solutions has developed innovative nonrepellent solutions, like Prescription Treatment® brand Phantom® Termiticide-Insecticide and its line of Prescription Treatment® brand Alpine® products, to help PMPs fight back against bed bugs.
When we think of pest control, we generally think of treating homes for ants, bees and other occasional pests. We also consider treating restaurants to assure they are cockroach and rodent free. However, we may seldom think of historical landmarks that are structurally threatened by wood destroying pests such as termites. Some of these landmarks have existed for more than one hundred years. One such historic landmark is the Civil War Drill Hall (Drill Hall) in Leonia, New Jersey.
Bed bug infestations are one of the most challenging pest problems to tackle. They’re hard to find, persistent, inconvenient, are increasingly pervasive and require considerable professional expertise and cooperation from clients to eliminate. PMPs dealing with this very opportunistic insect are always looking for the best ways to eliminate bed bug infestations for clients.
Few pests pose control challenges as complex as bed bugs. Bed bugs are tiny persistent pests that can be very hard to find. They travel easily and can migrate effortlessly through walls of adjacent units, from one dwelling to the next. Even worse, bed bug strains that are resistant to pyrethroid insecticides are now widespread throughout the United States, according to research conducted by the University of Kentucky.
Completed in 1768, the St. James-Santee Episcopal Church has stood for more than 240 years, withstanding two wars and surviving the congregations of the past. What this historical South Carolina icon cannot withstand are termites, and for this reason, Henry Moore, owner of Moore’s Premium Termite and Pest Control, offered his services to ensure Brick Church survives another several hundred years.
Green Frog Pest Solutions donates treatment to preserve a historic treasure. Moody Forest Nature Area – 4,426 acres of pristine land along the Altamaha River in Georgia – is home to many historic treasures, including the only known remaining forest of Longleaf Pine/ Blackjack Oaks. The Moody family settled this land in the 1880s and took care of the property for nearly 120 years. After the 1999 death of Elizabeth Moody, the last family member who owned the land, The Nature Conservancy and the state of Georgia bought the property to preserve this unique landscape for posterity.
After weeks of plundering and destruction in the spring of 1778, British troops squared off with local militia near what today is Swedesboro, N.J. According to the Rev. Nicholas Collin’s journal, both sides “aimed so badly that the bullets flew in all directions so that it was best to stay inside.” American troops arrived in Swedesboro a month later, set up quarters in Collin’s church and spent several weeks quelling the unrest. Their stay in Swedesboro had long-reaching effects – the church was so damaged it had to be rebuilt after the war. In 1784, Trinity Church, also known as “Old Swedes Church,” went from being a log cabin to the 300- seat Georgian building still standing today, more than two centuries later. You can still hear the echoes of history at Trinity thanks to an innovative historic preservation team that faced a new conflict – against termites – and won, preserving one of the oldest churches in the United States.
