Put a protective cover or mattress encasement specially made to keep bedbugs out over your mattress and box spring. This will reduce the potential hiding spots for bedbugs. Remember to cover box springs because they are more likely a hiding place for bedbugs than mattresses. Since cloth is less prone to rip than plastic, a high-quality cover will be constructed of this material. Regularly check the cover for holes; if you find any, patch them up immediately using duct tape.
Cleaning up clutter will help you avoid bringing in pests like bed bugs because they prefer a dirty and crowded room. This will make finding places to hide and stay in your house challenging.
The weather outside drives bed bugs deep inside your house. If you live in an apartment, they'll build their nest in the walls and may even move to other homes. So to prevent these pests from entering your room through the wall and from the apartments next door, it is better to seal the cracks and crevices in your room because they will try to delve deep within your walls through cracks and the areas around baseboards.
Bed bugs can enter a house in several ways. They can move around on the fur of birds, rodents, or pets. Additionally, they can travel in clothing and luggage and be picked up at movie theaters, public transportation, and medical offices. You should thoroughly inspect them for bed bugs before bringing them into the house because you might have brought them with you while you were away, and it would be risky once they have entered your home.
Bed bugs can be tempted to your pet's bed, just like human beds, where they can also locate warm crevices to lay their eggs and feed. Because we frequently hug our dogs, let them sleep on our beds, and let them roam the home, it is best to check on them often to see if they have bed bugs on their fur. If so, it could be dangerous if their hairs contain bed bugs.
Therefore, prevention is always better than cure. We don't want to put ourselves, our cozy beds, and our things in danger due to bed bugs. Thus, it is preferable to avoid it from happening first rather than try to get rid of them. But if it's too late to prevent bed bugs and you already have them in your house, get expert assistance immediately. Contact Harper Pest Control for professional bed bug removal and prevention today! We will help you keep your home bed bug-free and eliminate these pests once and for all. Call us today to schedule an inspection!
Bees contribute to the natural ecosystem. If, on the other hand, bees make your home or business their home and cause you problems, you are most likely looking for a way to get rid of them. Fortunately, there are several methods for eliminating bees and their nests.
Two bottles of bees can make a two-piece homemade nesting place. Fresh hives are placed in one container to attract easily enter insects. Because this is their natural food source, artificial nectar will be the best. If you want to kill bees, another option is to mix cane sugar or corn syrup with water and add some solutions to make drowning difficult.
When injected, a bee spray is a lethal insecticide. Place yourself 15 feet away from your hive and begin spraying. It is best to perform this task at night when most bees are in the hive.
Remember that bee spray is required to get rid of bees, so you must be on the colonies' territory to use it. Chemicals are used to kill bees and then fall on them.
It's simple to kill and simple enough to do everything you need with the kitchen. You'll need two heads of garlic and half a cup of freshly boiled water to make a strong repellent out of garlic.
To get rid of bees, serve the mixture with a thin layer of chilies or hot sauce. Add some dishwashing liquid to help the nesting birds and larvae survive.
In essence, soapy water is beneficial because it forms wax-like wax between and within the bees. This reduces the bee's ability to fly through the air and cuts off its air supply.
Add 10 ml of dishwashing soap to a water bowl to make a suitable soapy solution. Depending on your situation, the bee sting should not even be considered if you have asthma. If you try this method, you should buy a beekeeper's uniform.
Borax is widely regarded as one of the most potent insecticides. It is an excellent natural solution to your bee problem at home. The bees will die within a few days if you can get some borax powder into the beehive. If you want to spray the powder into the nest, you should cover it first. Before beginning, protect yourself by donning a face mask, some thick socks, and gloves. When the bees come into contact with the powder, it will start working.
The best way to get rid of bees is to simply call a professional exterminator. They will come out and assess your situation and give you a price quote for services rendered.

Cockroaches are among the most common pests found in homes and apartments. They are particularly bothersome in areas where food is prepared, and sanitation is lacking. Most people find cockroaches repulsive and embarrassing simply by their presence. They have the potential to contaminate food, kitchen utensils, and other household items, as well as leave an unpleasant odor.
While cockroach treatments are effective, they do not have an immediate effect. You should understand what to expect after treatment so that you are not surprised if roaches continue to infest your home.
You may see more cockroaches than usual in the days following treatment. This is not to say that the treatment was ineffective. On the contrary, the treatment was performed precisely as expected. The roaches emerge from their hiding places because they are dying after exposure to the spray insecticide.
It's unclear why cockroaches die out in the open. It has been proposed that insecticide chemicals cause muscle spasms and disorientation in roaches before killing them. The insecticide in the spray should eventually be effective at killing all of the roaches in your home. However, this can be a time-consuming process.
Cockroaches can lay hundreds of eggs in their lifetime if left to their own devices. As a result, some eggs have likely already been laid at the treatment time. The treatment does not affect roach eggs., but it prevents the young from reaching full maturity after hatching.
As a result, you may see immature cockroaches after treatment. However, these will die without reproducing, and you will soon see no cockroaches.
After cockroach treatment, the first thing you should do is vacuum up the dead and dying bugs. This helps to keep the premises clean and prevents disease spread. Vacuuming them up is fine, even if the roaches aren't entirely dead. They will not survive insecticide exposure, and the heat from the vacuum cleaner will hasten their demise.
While the infestation is nearing its end, you can help hasten its demise and prevent the onset of another by cleaning and decluttering. Remove food and water sources, such as food spills, garbage, plumbing leaks, and any places roaches could hide.
Another way to avoid a new infestation is to figure out how they got into the house in the first place so you can plug the hole. Because roaches can fit into tiny spaces, this can be difficult. If you don't know how the roaches got in, seal any cracks around windows and doors. If you buy used items, inspect them for cockroaches first to avoid unintentionally bringing them into the house. This can also help you keep other insect pests bay, such as bed bugs.
Harper Pest Control can assess your specific situation and explain how long it will take for the treatment to be fully effective. Learn more about the control methods we employ. Contact us now!
