Mountain Village Pest Control Agrees Bedbug Waste Leaves Lingering Health Risks

February 21, 2019 – – Bedbugs plague homes the world over. But even after they’re gone, their effects on your health may not disappear. A new study traces the problem to their lingering feces. Bedbug feces contains a chemical called histamine (HISS-tuh-meen). It is part of their pheromones. That’s a mix of chemicals that the insects excrete to attract others of their kind. In people, however, histamine can trigger allergy symptoms. Among these are itchiness and asthma.

While some treatments can successfully kill off bedbugs, their waste can linger. The histamine can remain in carpets, furniture upholstery and other household items long after the vermin are gone. One study collected dust from apartments in a building with a chronic bedbug problem. A pest control company raised the temperature of all of the rooms in the building to 50° Celsius (122° Fahrenheit). This killed off the bugs. Afterward, the researchers collected more dust from the apartments. They compared all of that dust to some from neighboring homes. These had been free of bedbugs for at least three years. Histamine levels from dust in the infested apartments was 22 times as high as the amount found in bedbug-free homes. While the heat treatment had rid apartments of the bedbugs, it had done nothing to lower histamine levels.

Treating bedbug infestations should be a priority since many people are allergic to the chemicals released when these insects bite. Victims can develop redness, swelling and other signs of inflammation around the bite marks. But that may not be all. Allergies can be serious. In a few people, bites may provoke life-threatening reactions.

Scientists have shown that bed bugs can carry many different types of germs in and on their bodies. However, there is no strong evidence yet that the bugs can pass on these germs to people. Scientists are looking at this possibility. Another study found that most bed bugs that fed on mice infected with Trypansoma cruzicould pick up the parasite. When the same bed bugs later fed on uninfected mice, the insects transmitted the parasite to them. T. cruzi causes a sometimes fatal illness called Chagas disease. Scientists now are doing follow-up research to figure out if the bugs also can spread this parasite to people.

Even if bed bugs do not spread infections, they definitely can cause mental harm to some people. One study found that bed bug infestations can make people anxious and give them insomnia. This was true even in people who never had anxiety problems in the past. The same researchers reported on a woman with mental health problems who later suffered a series of bed-bug infestations. Coping with them so overwhelmed her that she eventually took her life.

Queen Creek Pest Control Agrees with Rodent Control Research

February 21, 2019 – – Groundbreaking new rodent control research funded by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) dispelled some long-thought myths about cats as an effective means of rodent control. It turns out that cats do not successfully kill and control rat populations. Although cats’ stalking activity may initially keep rats out of sight, the rodents will patiently wait them out and return undeterred once the cats lose interest and leave the scene. Scientists studied individual rat behavior using scent detection and RFID-technology, better known as micro-chipping, to learn more about individual rat behavior.

The researchers also monitored how often a rat frequented remote sensors and found certain odors to be more attractive than others in luring rodents to a trap or feeding station. Historically, rats have always been extremely problematic in society as both carriers of disease and threats to our property and food. Despite the risks they present, rats are also one of the most under-researched animals because they are so uniquely adept at living in close contact with humans but remaining just out of sight. This research was conducted to learn more about individual rat behavior and to seek information to inform better rodent control methods for the professional pest control industry.

One study revealed when exploring scent detection male scents alone cause both female and male rats to investigate, but then ultimately avoid an area in the future. Mixed male and female pheromones cause rats to respond more favorably to the scent compared to male-only scents. Female-only pheromones are most attractive to both male and female rats and elicit the strongest response.

When it came to cats and rodent control, feral cats were observed over the course of a five-month period and their presence was recorded more than 300 times by the cameras monitoring the research site and active rat colonies located nearby. In that timeframe, less than one percent of the cat and rat encounters resulted in a rat being killed; despite, stalking behavior being observed 20 times. Rats are less likely to be seen on the day-of or the day after cats are present. For every cat sighting observed, rats were nearly 20 percent more likely to move toward a shelter. Although rats were less likely to be seen, the feral cats had no observable long-term impact on the rat population. The rats went into hiding but came back later, determining that cats are not an effective measure in rat control in urban settings.

Patients with Alcoholic Liver Disease Less Likely to Quit Drinking, According to New Study

February 21, 2019 – – Doctors are now instructing patients diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) to abstain from drinking in order to improve their survival by preventing additional liver damage. However, according to a new study, patients with ALD still struggle to follow doctor’s orders and stay sober.

The study, published by a team of Michigan Medicine specialists, takes a look at the misconceptions, preferences, and the many barriers keeping ALD patients from abstinence. The researchers found that about half the study participants (52 people) reported drinking within the past year despite their ALD diagnosis.

13 of these people drank at least once a week, while 12 drank at least three or more drinks per day. Six drank a half dozen or more drinks on a single occasion at least once a week. Even in cases of cirrhosis, where extensive scarring in the liver occurs because of repeated heavy alcohol intake, abstinence remains one of the most effective therapeutic interventions. But this data shows that not all ALD patients are capable of staying sober on their own.

“One drink is too many if one has ALD,” says the lead author of the study, Jessica Mellinger, M.D., who is a specialist in hepatology, gastroenterology and internal medicine at Michigan Medicine.

The authors of the study believe that there are many different factors that affect a patient’s attitudes toward sobriety.

Alcohol abuse is a nationwide issue. The 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reports that 15.1 million US adults have alcohol use disorder. 9.8 million of these are men, while 5.3 million are women. Alcohol use disorder is characterized as compulsive alcohol use despite consequences and side effects. People with AUD often lose control over their alcohol intake, developing tolerance, dependence, and going through withdrawal.

About 60 percent of the participants in the study had never received any form of treatment for their alcohol use disorder. This includes attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

According to G. Scott Winder, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and one of the study authors, it has something to do with the patient’s perception of treatment. “Their perception is they don’t think that alcohol use disorder treatment works,” he says.

Participants are likely to think of treatment as a waste of time and even “a big joke”, according to the study.

Other patients with ALD felt as if they had already kicked the habit and so they no longer think professional treatment is necessary. Many participants didn’t seem to realize that alcohol use disorder is often a chronic disease that can lead to relapse.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a third of people who are treated for alcohol problems have no further symptoms a year later. Many others substantially reduce their drinking and report fewer alcohol-related problems.

Other participants refused to abstain because they believe it was “too late” because the liver disease was already present. As a result, they think that treatment for alcohol use disorder is futile.

“It was interesting how people from small towns shy away from group therapy because they want to maintain some anonymity,” Mellinger says.

More patients believe that support groups will only help them meet a new drinking buddy. These misconceptions act as barriers toward safe and effective treatment.

“A study like this helps us understand better how to help those with alcohol use disorder,” Winder says. Click the link to see Fort Worth’s top rehab placement programs.

If someone in the family is struggling with opioid addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against drug abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.

Laveen Pest Control says Gut Bugs Affect Cockroach Feces

February 21, 2019 – – Commensal bacteria living in the gastrointestinal tracts of cockroaches lace the insects’ feces with chemical cues that mediate social behavior, according to a study. The microbiome isn’t just important for digestion and immunity; it may also have a hand in social relationships among animals. Research showed that volatile compounds produced by bacterial fermentation attracts the insects to aggregate. The involvement of microbes in animal communication and behavioral systems is starting to be understood.

Researchers have known since the 1970s that cockroaches are attracted to their own feces. It has been determined that even cockroaches that were raised in sterile conditions, so that they’d carry no bacteria in their guts, are attracted to microbe-rich feces. The sterile excrement lacked volatile fatty acids called carboxylic acids, which may influence cockroach behavior. Research has shown a synthetic mixture of six common carboxylic acids, the insects gathered has concluded that it’s the bacteria rather than the cockroach itself that are involved in producing this signal.

Cockroaches are not unusual in this regard. Previous work has suggested a similar role for the bacteria in hyenas’ anal scent glands, where the microbes produce fatty acids that may aid individual recognition to distinguish group members from intruders. Over time it may be discovered there are lots of examples of this type of thing occurring in nature, from insects all the way up, possibly, to humans.

Cockroaches can contaminate food with their waste and saliva which contains bacteria that can cause food poisoning, diarrhea, and Staphylococcus infections. Many disease-causing organisms can grow and multiply in their digestive systems and be transmitted to silverware, plates, cooking surfaces, etc. during defecation. Breathing dust containing cockroach feces or body parts can cause an allergic reaction and asthma, especially in children. As far as the diseases that cockroaches can spread, they can pick up Salmonella on their legs and deposit it to food, which can cause food poisoning if ingested.

Laveen Pest Control states, “It is important for people to take preventative measures to protect their families and properties from the health threats associated with cockroaches. Sanitation is the first phase in a cockroach control program and you should make efforts to reduce water, food and shelter available to cockroaches.”

Texas Foundation Pros Expands Concrete Foundation Repair Service In Plano TX

February 21, 2019 – – Texas Foundation Pros has announced that they are expanding their service location. The company states that they now offer their concrete foundation repair services to customers in and around the Plano, Texas region. A complete list of their services can be found at https://txfoundationpros75025.business.site.

Patti Person, a representative for the company says, “Customers in Plano can now contact us when they need their foundations repaired. We also offer evaluations that will help homeowners to determine the level of damage that may be done and what we can do to fix it.”

Person states that there are a number of things that can cause issues with a home’s foundation. Concrete foundations can begin to crack after many years due to age alone, but other factors can also cause damage. In colder regions, heavy snows can lead to foundation cracks. In Texas, water and heat are the main culprits. Person says that even newer homes can see issues with the foundation if certain factors are evident.

“Our purpose is to find that damage and repair it, but it goes beyond that,” Person says. “We also determine the cause of the issue, so that we can help to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.”

Person states that a cracked foundation is nothing to ignore. Studies indicate that cracked foundations can lead to a number of even more serious conditions in a home, such as a complete collapse in severe cases. When structural damage is done, the home could experience sagging floors and large gaps, which can lead to minor issues such as rodent infestations and higher energy bills as outside air can leak into the home. Person says that these minor annoyances are nothing compared to the cost of replacing a foundation or walls and floors in a home if those minor cracks are not found and repaired quickly.

The company provides services throughout the Plano area. Those who are interested can learn more at https://goo.gl/maps/fLhEwz2iND32. The company’s website provides an overview of their services as well as general information about the potential causes and risks of cracked concrete foundations.

The company states that homeowners in Plano or the surrounding regions who believe that they may have foundation cracks can contact them for an evaluation. During this evaluation, the company thoroughly inspects the home’s foundation to determine if any cracks are evident and if cracks are found, they provide the homeowner with details about the crack and what needs to be done to repair it.

Person says that they also provide evaluations for homeowners who simply have never had their foundations checked. This service is important for anyone who is considering selling their home, as the foundation must be in good shape to ensure that a sale goes through. She states that those who are placing their homes on the market can contact the company for a foundation inspection to ensure that there are no issues that need to be addressed before the home can be sold.

The company states that the average consumer will often not know how to tell if a crack is evident or whether a small crack could be signaling a bigger issue. Person states that anyone who notices weak spots in their floors, doors or windows that are hard to open or close or who may noticed dampness or rodent infestations in basement areas should contact the company to schedule an inspection.

The company’s website offers more information about how to tell if a foundation could need to be repaired, as well as contact information for the company for those who would like to call or email them to schedule a foundation inspection. Person states that a simple inspection can help to find and repair minor issues before they become major problems. Homeowners in Plano and the surrounding areas who would like to learn more about the company can also do so on their news page, which can be accessed at https://www.pressadvantage.com/organization/texas-foundation-pros-plano.

Sunshine Pest Services Agrees Climate Change is Expected to Make Insects Hungrier

February 21, 2019 – – Many insects get hungrier and reproduce more quickly in warmer temperatures. Worldwide, insect pests consume up to 20 percent of the plants that humans grow for food, and that amount will increase as global warming makes bugs hungrier, according to a study. That could encourage farmers to use more pesticides, which could cause further environmental harm, scientists said.

For every degree Celsius (two degrees Fahrenheit) that temperatures rise above the global historical average, the amount of wheat, corn, and rice lost to insects will increase by 10 to 25 percent, the study says. Temperate agricultural regions, like those in the United States and Western Europe, would be particularly hard hit. The international Paris Agreement is designed to keep warming below two degrees Celsius, but the world’s countries are far off track from meeting that goal.

Higher temperatures speed many insects’ metabolisms, making them eat more. Their life cycles also get faster, causing them to reproduce more quickly. Both effects would diminish crop yields even as the human population continues to increase, putting additional strains on the global food supply, one study says. Other factors could help mitigate crop losses. Beneficial insects could also thrive in a warmer climate. Sunshine Pest Services says, “Those insects could end up offering some suppression of the pests, so that the damage may not be as great as they are suggesting.”

Higher temperatures can spell bad news for thirsty crops regardless of insect activity. A study found that the pressures from increased summer temperatures could lead to a significant decline in agricultural yields. The same study also found that improved irrigation could offset at least some of the losses. But it is less clear if insecticides could help stave off multiplying pests. Pesticides could help where they’re not already in use, but the question remains as to whether or not they’re already at their maximum effectiveness.

In addition, pesticides can unintentionally harm other organisms, and some have been linked to human health problems. Their manufacture, transport and use also contribute to global warming. Sunshine Pest Services says, “The real solution may be to drastically reduce the level of greenhouse gases that humans emit.”

The announcement concerns homeowners who do not want to sell their home for a lump sum of cash.

While that option has benefited many homeowners, particularly in the Ocean City region, other homeowners are interested in other possibilities. This is where the concept of owner financing comes into play. The more one learns about owner financing as a viable means of selling an Ocean City property, the more exciting the concept becomes. It is truly an arrangement that benefits everyone involved.

One of the first benefits of seller financing in Ocean City, New Jersey is that it avoids the mortgage process entirely. This is one example of how owner financing benefits everyone involved. The process of going through a bank can prove to be a time-consuming endeavor for everyone involved. This can add multiple steps for anyone who wants to purchase a home quickly. At the same time, it can slow things down for homeowners who would still like to sell their home in a straightforward fashion. Dependable Homebuyers has helped many Ocean City homeowners who were eager to sell their home as quickly as possible. This is the process in which the home is purchased directly for a lump sum of cash.

Owner financing allows for both of those possibilities. While it many not necessarily work for everyone, it has already proven to be enormously popular with Ocean City homeowners. The same can be said for homeowners throughout the United States, as Dependable Homebuyers remains committed to being a national company.

While the process of seller financing does create a longer relationship between the homeowner and Dependable Homebuyers in Ocean City, the company nonetheless feels that the arrangement can benefit all parties. For Dependable Homebuyers, it still allows for a process that is considerably speedier than traditional means. Simply put, as long as one maintains the element of buyer and seller working with one another directly, everyone stands to gain what they want.

This is another example of Dependable Homebuyers’ willingness to work with virtually anyone whose home has value. Offering the concept of seller/owner financing allows them to add yet another layer to their range of services that work with Ocean City homeowners and others.

Raleigh Bat Removal Company Warns Of Dangers Of Bats In The Attic

February 21, 2019 – – Leading Raleigh North Carolina pest and wildlife control company discovers chronic problem of bats in the attic and takes immediate steps in warning the public.

A public warning was issued by Triangle Wildlife Removal about the dangers of bats in the attic. This warning was prompted by a study of the service area which revealed an increased number of cases this year. Calls poured in from all over the service area, reporting that they had bats in the attic. Triangle Wildlife Removal & Pest Control, Inc. wasted no time informing these customers how to handle things while they waited for the critters to be removed from their homes. All cooperated with Triangle Wildlife Removal & Pest Control, Inc., which led to successful removal.

Triangle Wildlife Removal & Pest Control, Inc. owner Tad Bassett says that people responded favorably to the insights and answers his staff offered customers. The study reveals in a practical way what’s possible with the right information and guidance.

A look at bats and bat removal is available at Triangle Wildlife Removal & Pest Control, Inc. expounded on many details concerning bats, but most importantly the potential harm they can cause, which we will now highlight in some detail.

Bats are creepy to many people, but they are an important part of the ecosystem. They are both food for large predatory birds, as well as one of nature’s pest control species. However, that means nothing if they have taken up residence in the attic. For this reason, it is always Triangle Wildlife Removal & Pest Control, Inc.’s aim to remove them humanely, and specifically, without killing them.

As for the potential for harm, bat guano (feces) is just one of them. Harmful spores emit from bat droppings and if inhaled, they can cause health problems if they are not dealt with immediately. If the exposure is confined in the lungs, a person will likely recover. If it spreads, things can get worse, and possibly fatal.

The company spokesperson states, “We highly advise any homeowners that find bat guano to resist sweeping the droppings, as both sweeping and vacuuming them without the correct filtration, can be very dangerous as the airborne spores are spread and can be inhaled. Bat droppings removal is a very specialized process that should only be done by professionals.”

The biggest concern about bats is rabies. While only a small percentage of bats actually have rabies, just remember one thing: all it takes is one unsafe contact with a bat or a bat bite, and it becomes a race to preserve a life. On the other hand, almost all of human cases of rabies are caused by bat bites.

Tad Bassett, a spokesperson for Triangle Wildlife Removal & Pest Control, Inc. says, “Bats in an attic can pose dangers to people and pets in many ways. Bats can scratch and bite transmitting rabies, a fatal disease. Bat droppings are also a concern, as bat droppings carry toxic spores that cause the histoplasmosis infection, that can also be fatal.”

That is just the tip of the iceberg. With all of these concerns, it should be obvious that a person should never try to handle bats themselves in an attempt to remove them. There is a reason there are people specialized to handle these creatures. By all means, allow the professionals to do this – that is what they are trained for.

Mr. Bassett also emphasized that it is impossible for the average person to tell if a bat has been infected with rabies and because of this, it is even more important that people enlist the help of a professional wildlife removal service to remove bats from a home or business.

With a company like Triangle Wildlife Removal equipped and ready to help deal with bats in the attic, it is no wonder that they are one of the leading pest control and wildlife removal companies in the Raleigh, Durham, Garner, Chapel Hill, Cary, and Apex service area.

Rochester Hills Rat Removal Company Warns On Dangers Of Rodent Infestations

February 21, 2019 – – Rochester Hill Michigan’s foremost wildlife and pest control company, Platinum Wildlife Removal, takes immediate action to warn and prepare the public for evident rodent infestation.

Platinum Wildlife Removal’s profile can be seen here: https://directory.animalshappen.com/company/platinum-wildlife-removal/.

Platinum Wildlife Removal revealed their results from a recent study today about how serious the rodent problem might be. This study was stimulated by a flood of calls from customers in the Rochester Hills service area concerning the presence of rodents on their properties or inside their home. What they found was alarming.

In short, they discovered that the problem mutated into an infestation. The presence of rodents was confirmed in all locations from where the calls originated, but they found out something more. Natural predators were also present in nearby areas, which suggests that they are forcing the rodent populations to move to other areas – the very areas from where the calls came from.

As a result, Platinum Wildlife Removal decided to issue an alert to the public. With the newly-discovered information, people in the area could be prepared in preventing any rodent penetration into their homes or deal with a penetration they couldn’t prevent. Platinum has one a thorough job of informing people why it is so important for immediate action in either case.

Rodents stop at nothing to gain entrance into homes, where they can keep warm and nest their young. It is said that many rodents can squeeze through an opening as small as 1/4 of an inch. The rodents that cannot do the fat rat squeeze use their teeth to chew through just about any part of the home to make an opening large enough to get in.

One cause for alarm here is that rodents might chew through electrical wiring. If they chew through any live wires, it could do more than cause a power outage. It can spark a fire that can spread so quickly that getting out of the home could be a matter of life or death. Even if they don’t cause a fire, their presence is so unsanitary that it can make an entire household ill. Some of the diseases can be caused by the presence or rodent urine and feces.

These are just a few of the important reasons why Platinum Wildlife Removal made such an effort to get the public ready to take action, whatever their situation is. This demonstrates the diligence of this company to serve their customers so well. Another good thing that has come from their attention to the problem is that new ideas have been brought to the table on how to more effectively deal with rodents.

Platinum Wildlife Removal spokesperson Kevin Scappaticci says he was impressed by the quest for insights and answers on the part of their customers. This case study reveals in a practical way what’s possible with the right information and guidance. Those interested can find out more about rodent removal at https://prowildlifetrapping.com/services/.

The most important thing that was stressed to customers is that if rodents have penetrated their home, they should have the professionals address it, rather than attempt to do it themselves.

Scappaticci says that rodent removal takes professional knowledge. He says that many homeowners feel that they can just chase rodents out and that’s the end of it but he continues that this is not true. The company says that rodents congregate together in colonies so removing one rodent is not typically the sole issue. If a homeowner sees one, it is very likely that they have an entire infestation. So again, removing rodents should be left to a professional, according to Scappaticci.

The company states that their rodent removal services help to prevent them from returning. They state that their rodent removal services are a bit more humane than others. Some pest control companies simply chemicals in rodent entry points, leaving them dead in the home, which Scappaticci says creates an entirely different mess for the homeowner.

He states that the rodent removal process begins with exclusion devices that will enable bats to leave the home at night but will not allow them to renter where they originally got in. Once out, they will not get in again, as the original entry point is closed off in addition to other potential spots. Then the areas of infestation are cleaned of any urine and feces left behind that could cause health problems for the household.

Those who would like more information on the eradication of rodents in the home can visit the Platinum Wildlife Removal website.
