Bug Ninja Pest Control Initial Coronavirus (COVID-19) Protection Protocol

3/16/2020

4 Comments

 
  1. All Bug Ninja employees are instructed to report to supervisor if/when sick. Employees that have potential coronavirus symptoms will be instructed to have no public contact/remain home.
  2. Use of sanitizing wipes—mostly for hands, also for cell phones, etc. To be used in office (as well as disinfectant spray & wipe of surfaces) and to be used by field technicians for hands, cell phones & tablets, steering wheel and other equipment.
  3. Use of disposable gloves by field technicians. Gloves can be worn for contact with door rails and other surfaces.  There will be no bare hands making contact with surfaces at client’s homes/places of business.  A new, unused pair of gloves will be put on at the arrival to a property and will be discarded after the service is completed.  There will be no reuse of gloves from property to property.
  4. We will be doing exterior service only so there is no contact between technician and client. If a client is outside at time of service, we will avoid handshakes and other interactions, which is otherwise normally good social protocol. We will not be leaving behind paperwork, so that nothing is left behind by the technician.
  5. If you need to talk to someone about service/billing please contact the office at 225-414-2020.

    Importantly, Bug Ninja Pest Control continues to monitor developments regarding this virus.  We are monitoring good business practices issued by the State of Louisiana and the CDC.

    As always, Bug Ninja Pest Control values our customers and our employees and intends to take our stewardship seriously.  It is, of course, our hope that with reasonable precautions – both in our office workplace and with our field pest technicians – that the impact of COVID-19 will be minimal, and we can continue to enjoy our beautiful springtime.

Pest Problems During Spring In Louisiana

3/5/2020

Picture of mosquito pest control problems in spring
Spring is nature's alarm clock for insects. As the days start warming up, the bugs being coming out. Most of the insects that show up this time of year don't really bother anyone. We will be covering a few here that do.

Mosquitoes
Everyone's least favorite pest. These little buzzers are the deadliest human hunters on the planet. Contrary to popular belief, mosquitoes' primary source of food comes from plants. The females only start hunting for blood when they reproduce. The blood they take from you or other roaming creatures allows them to reproduce more rapidly. The extra mosquitoes in turn hunt you down when reproducing and make even more mosquitoes. There's a pattern here.

To reduce this mosquito population boom, do the following for mosquito control:
  • Remove anything that holds stagnate water from your yard.
  • Regularly dump the water from anything that holds it which can't be removed. 
  • Have your yard fogged or sprayed for mosquitoes. Be sure the applicators target the trees and shrubs.

Ants
Ants start appearing more often this time of year. They are looking for food and your house has plenty. A good pest control company can inspect your home for better ways to reduce ant problems. Sanitation is the key to keeping these bugs out of your home.
  • Use air tight containers for loose pantry items.
  • Don't leave dishes in the sink overnight.
  • Keep your home tidy.
  • Clean under areas hard to see where crumbs may fall and get ignored.
  • Sweets and fats are an ant's best friend. Keep things containing lots of them stored away.​

Wolf spiders
Wolf spiders are often confused with brown recluses. This is because they are also brown and a spider. Unlike brown recluses, wolf spiders are not a cause for alarm. Wolf spiders usually live in solitude. They do not spin webs. They keep their children on their back until they go out on their own. A huge plus to wolf spiders is they keep other insect populations in check. If you have a lot of wolf spiders, it could mean there is an underlying insect problem waiting to be discovered. Treating their food source is the best way to get wolf spiders an eviction notice.

    I really enjoy researching and writing about pests. The more we know about bugs, the easier it becomes to control them.
