In 1983, Gary Kindell realized a need for total pest elimination without long-term contracts in his home town of Piqua, Ohio, so he, and his two daughters, Wendy and Dawn, obtained their state licenses and Bug A Boo was born. The business grew and soon termite and mosquito services were added. Adding to its residential service, Bug A Boo expanded to support commercial, industrial and municipal clients as well. In 1988, Gary Kindell retired to the Florida Keys, where he resides today. Upon Gary's retirement, Wendy and Dawn took over Bug A Boo Pest Control, until Wendy left the company in 1989 to pursue a nursing career in California.
It's spring time and termites are beginning to become a huge problem for area homes. If you would like to learn more about termites, eHow has an excellent article on "Ten Intersting Facts About Termites". Termites are familiar to us as wood-eating insects that threaten homes and other building with their diets. There are more than 2,500 kinds of termites living all around the world, according to the University of California Integrated Pest Management Program.

Treatment: Bug-A-Boo sprays a residual chemical on all floors (carpet, wood and tile), furniture and recommend stripping of beds so mattresses can be strayed. We also spray a perimeter outside of the home to help prevent another infestation. Recommendation: Bug-A-Boo recommends all pets be treated for fleas prior to returning to the home.
