Keep Pests From Haunting Your House !

Some pests are scarier than any Halloween Horror Movie...
and they may be right there in YOUR Home!



Rats and Creepy Crawlies and Spiders and Vampires (Bed Bugs)OH MY!

Hear scary noises, scuffling sounds? You may have RODENTS!

Rodents move inside as temperatures drop in our Florida Fall...Once inside, rats and other pests can do more than just provide their fair share of scares. They are capable of contaminating food, spreading disease and posing a threat to property

Rodents can spread Salmonella and Hantavirus and create fire hazards by gnawing through electrical wires in the home. They trigger allergies and asthma, especially in kids

Creepy Crawlies - Roaches spread disease and also cause allergy and asthma attacks! They date back to Prehistoric times and outlived the dinosaurs, flourishing today!

Headless Horseman? Cockroaches can live a whole week without their heads.  The headless cockroach will eventually die from thirst – because they have no mouth to drink with.

Webs are not just a scary Halloween decoration - they are an all too real sign of spiders
Spiders can administer a painful bite when disturbed. Florida also is home to some truly poisonous varieties - Widow and Brown Recluse - DANGER!

Real Life Bloodsucking Vampires ? Bed Bugs attack you while you sleep - like Vampires they come out at night. They inject their own "anesthetic" that numbs you while you sleep so you usually do not wake up! They engorge themselves and fatten up with YOUR blood - shades of Dracula! These creepy crawlers can't fly and don't travel far - they hitch hike on luggage, people's clothing etc
and hide from view.


These creepy critters are all tricks and nasty ones at that. Have a safe and fun Halloween and be sure t call AAA Pest Control if you suspect a "Haunting" at your home! 'You Call Today, We Come Today" 954-771-3400

Roaches and Allergy/Asthma - A MUST Read for Parents

In a recent survey of allergists from across the United States, 97% of respondents said they believe a pest-free home is an important step in preventing asthma and allergy symptoms.

The survey, conducted jointly by the National Pest Management Association and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, revealed that aside from dust mites, cockroaches are the most problematic household pest for patients suffering from asthma or allergies. Rounding out the top three allergy-inflaming pests are rodents and stinging insects.


First reported back in the 1940s, cockroach allergies are most common in urban areas. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America estimates 23% to 60% of urban residents with asthma are sensitive to the cockroach allergen.
Cockroaches are one of the oldest and most adaptable pests pest professionals are asked to eliminate from homes and businesses.

A cockroach’s food tastes can be described accurately in one word – all-encompassing. Cockroaches eat just about anything including decaying matter such as food, garbage, feces and the like. They also enjoy strength in numbers; did you know a female German cockroach and her offspring can produce over 30,000 little cockroaches in one year.  So, the sighting of one cockroach is nothing to sneeze at!
The allergens these filthy pests leave behind in homes linger in the air or settle in house dust. They become airborne when the air is stirred up by movement like children playing or running through the house.

PLUS Roaches spread 33 types of bacteria including E-coli and Salmonella!

How cities are making our rats smarter and spiders bigger

 

Aesop, it seems, was literally right in his 2,500-year-old fable of the country mouse and the city mouse. The cousins who exchange visits, after which each returns home gratefully from his relative’s strange haunts, has been retold ever since as a metaphor for the profound changes urbanization brought to human life. Cities have always offered more of everything—opportunity and variety, stress and danger. It’s only recently, though, that it’s become clear this is no metaphor: Humans are not the only creatures to have been altered in behaviour, and even in form, by urban experience.
We may think we’ve created a barrier between human and wild, writes Diane Ackerman in The Human Age, her sweeping portrayal of just how thoroughly humanity has refashioned the world. But city species abound, “because urban animals (including humans) vary their habits and psychology to adjust.”
