For many years the phrase "Don't let the bedbugs bite!" was simply a saying; unfortunately, for many people this is no longer the case. In the last several years bed bugs have made a resurgence to become a much more common and difficult to control problem. One of the problems with bed bug infestations is a lack of awareness to the problem until it gets out of hand. Bed bug bites typically don't cause any pain, and frequently go unnoticed for several months until our bodies develop an allergic reaction to the bite.

Mice and rats are a common problem, especially in the fall and winter months as rodents look for a warm place to stay for the winter. Our General Pest Service includes trapping rodents that invade your home, garage, and attic. Using traps, we are able to quickly eliminate these pesky invaders. We have various types of traps depending on the type of rodent, the severity of the problem, and the likelihood that traps may be disturbed. Many of our customers are also interested in our baiting program.

Here at Scout Pest Control, we are committed to protecting the environment and making sure our children are healthy. To do this, we have decided to go green. As we can tell you, there is a reason that green pest control products show up all over the place today. They are better for the environment and your family's health. Green or organic pest control products are not that much different than conventional pest control products. Both employ chemicals to help control the pest population in your home and yard.

Here at Scout Pest Control, our goal isn't to just eliminate pests-we have designed our service to actually help prevent infestations in the first place! We seek to provide both a high level of control for unwanted pests, and to have a low impact on your business, employees and clients, and the environment. With this in mind, we use a wide range of products and methods and are constantly adapting to incorporate new strategies as they become available and prove successful. Many of our customers have found that on each of our regular treatments, our technicians do more to control pests than what their previous companies did all year!

At Scout Pest Control our mission is to improve the quality of life for each of our customers through eliminating and preventing unwanted pest problems. We are experts at eliminating ants, spiders, roaches, earwigs, wasps, rodents, and other pests that can invade and damage your home. Because our General Pest Control program is so effective, we usually only need to service once per season to eliminate and prevent pest problems. This allows us to save our customers money off of what some of our competitors with "cheap" monthly services charge.

You may have noticed, but honey bees have been in the news frequently over the last few years. Some news reports cover aggressive Africanized Bee attacks, but many more have covered the decline in Honey Bee populations. At Scout Pest Control, we feel a strong commitment to protecting bees, which includes helping them to establish or relocate their colonies to safe areas. We do this through capturing bee swarms, and through removing hives that have located in unwanted areas. Bees are a very beneficial insect, they are necessary in the pollination of many of our crops and plants.

Fire ants are known for their reddish-brown color and painful sting and can be dangerous to those allergic to them. Their mounds are easily visible in your yard. In addition to stings, they can damage vegetation, roads, and electrical systems. Sugar ants like to nest in hidden and protected areas. These ants can be extremely difficult to control using over the counter products. For this pest we use specialized products that destroy the nest and queen. Most of the products available to consumers are repellent in nature to these sensitive bugs.

Rodents in the home can cause a lot of problems. They carry a number of diseases, their droppings can contaminate food, and their gnawing can cause both cosmetic damage and even cause fires if they chew through wires. Signs that you have a rodent infestation include seeing them live or dead, finding droppings, hearing gnawing or scurrying sounds, and damage to food or other items. If you find signs of rodents in your home, don't hesitate to call Scout Pest Control. Our rodent control process includes baiting and exclusion to prevent further problems.

In Alabama, termites cause millions of dollars of damage each year to homes and businesses. It's important to have your home inspected for termites so you can avoid the expensive issues they cause. People tend to worry about termites only when they see them swarming-at that point you already have a problem. Swarming termites are often confused with winged ants. They look similar, but there are a few key differences that can help in identification. If you look at the wings on a flying ant versus an eastern subterranean termite swarmer, the ant has a larger set of front wings, and a smaller set of hind wings.

Bed bugs are nocturnal and elusive, making them difficult to detect. However, there are several signs that can indicate bed bugs. The first is bite symptoms on skin-red, itchy bites, usually on arms or shoulders. Aside from that, look for small, dark, sand-like droppings or blood smears on your sheets. You can also find empty exoskeletons they have moulted. If you think you have a bed bug infestation, don't hesitate to call Scout Pest Control immediately. Don't attempt to control them yourself-the longer you wait, the more difficult it is to get rid of them.

Here at Scout Pest Control, we are committed to protecting the environment and not passing problems on to our children. Additionally, pests have developed resistance to many modern man-made products. A great advantage of using green products isn't only the added safety, but with certain products, pests don't seem to have the ability to develop resistance! With this knowledge we strive to use high quality, natural products as much as possible even with our traditional services. We've found that, used correctly, these products can be as or even more effective than the harsher man-made products.

Termites can often go undetected for years, and cause significant damage! Rather than risk having to close their doors for major repairs after an infestation, many businesses proactively treat to prevent termite issues! In most cases with a commercial property, we recommend having a liquid termite treatment done. This will provide a long-lasting residual control against termite infestation.
