However, we use products specifically designed to be safe for your whole family. We use a fast-drying solution give it 15-20 minutes and it will be like we never were even there!

Do you need pest control in the winter months?

Yes, As a pest control professional, I understand the misconception that pests are only a warm-weather concern. However, the reality is that the cold weather in the winter months presents their own set of challenges when it comes to pest control. While some pests may seem dormant during colder temperatures, many seek refuge indoors, where they can thrive in the warmth of our homes and businesses. Rodents, such as rats and mice, are notorious for seeking shelter indoors during the winter, posing serious health risks and property damage. 

 
Additionally, insects like cockroaches and spiders are known to seek warmth and shelter indoors when temperatures drop. By addressing pest control during the winter months, we can prevent infestations from taking hold and ensure that our homes remain safe and comfortable year-round. Don’t wait until spring to address pest concerns—stay proactive and safeguard your property with our winter pest control services.

Why do I believe bugs come in your house

Patriot Facts

Bees Can Only Sting Once

It is commonly believed that a bee can only sting once. This is partially true for honeybees, which can only sting once. However, other types of bees, wasps, and hornets are capable of stinging multiple times.

Bees Will Only Attack When Provoked

It’s a myth that bees won’t sting if unprovoked. Bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets will sting if they feel threatened or their colony is at risk.

You can set a mouse trap anywhere

Snap traps should be placed vertically against walls, not horizontally. Position traps in areas with many droppings for best results.

Gel Baiting is the best way to get rid of roaches

Gel bait is often ineffective in kitchens due to contamination from cleaning products and fried food. It also emits a strong odor when dry, making removal from cabinets challenging.

Mosquitoes Only Come Out at Dawn and Dusk

While it is true that certain species of mosquitoes are more active during dawn and dusk, mosquitoes can be active at any time when food is present. It is advisable to implement mosquito prevention methods whenever you are outdoors.

Bedbugs are a sign of filthy living conditions

Bed bugs can thrive in any environment, clean or dirty, as long as they have a food source. They can be found in furniture, beds, cars, wheelchairs, and public seating areas.

Bug Bombs are the best way to get rid of roaches and bed bugs

Setting off bombs in an infested room is ineffective. While some bugs may be killed, those hidden in cracks will sense danger and retreat, only to return later or infest another room.

Bed Bugs Can Be Eliminated with DIY Techniques or online products

Bed bugs are challenging pests to eliminate once they establish an infestation in a home. They primarily come out to feed when the host is sleeping, making it difficult to locate and identify. They can also reproduce quickly and infest a structure rapidly. As a result, professional treatments are often necessary to eradicate them. Online products may not always be effective; some act as repellents and can drive bed bugs to other rooms, while others may have no effect. These direct contact pesticides generally last for about 10-12 minutes.

Fire ants are attracted to A/C condensers

The electronic hum from the unit, along with the presence of heat and water, can attract fire ants. Fire ants can interfere with your condenser by getting between the electrical contacts and causing it to fail.

If You Don’t See Bugs, it means I am good

You may not notice bugs until they invade your home. Bugs are always present; they just become noticeable too late. In winter, they seek warmth; in summer, they look for shade and water. During spring and fall, they search for specific foods to prepare for the next season. Weather can also drive insects into your home.

 

 

Although many pest control myths are unfounded, prevention is key to avoiding infestations. If you suspect or want to prevent a pest issue, contact Patriot Pest Management. Their technicians use the latest methods to eliminate and prevent pests.

Fact: 85% of household pests come from outside. Regular exterior treatments significantly reduce the chances of bugs entering your home.
