How Dangerous Are Mosquitoes In Argyle?

Did you know mosquitoes are considered the most dangerous animal worldwide? Mosquitoes are vectors of dangerous diseases, including the West Nile virus, malaria, Zika virus, yellow fever, and many more.

However, mosquitoes are not nearly as dangerous in the United States as in other parts of the world. Still, mosquitoes are a big concern here and can make spending time outside impossible. You can keep this pest under control on your Argyle property with Mayco Pest & Termite Control's specialty mosquito control services. 

To reduce mosquito populations, we target breeding sites and other areas where they are most active. Mosquitoes only need a few inches of standing water to breed and require shade to survive the hot days, so we make sure to identify and treat these areas in your yard that could provide these resources. Plus, we'll make recommendations on how you can remove conducive conditions.

Call us at Mayco Pest & Termite Control to learn more about how we can help get rid of mosquitoes from your yard with our home pest control offerings.

Why Argyle Homes Could Still Be At Risk for Termites

There are many misconceptions about termites, including what kind of homes can experience an infestation and when. A termite infestation can happen in any home if the conditions are right. If your home was previously treated to eliminate termites, they could still return at some point. You must maintain your property by ensuring the removal of excess moisture and that all entry points are sealed, among other factors. 

During the spring and summer, termite swarmers, which are flying reproductives, look to establish new colonies, so this is when termites are considered most active. However, this doesn't mean that this is the only time of year when termites are concerning. Termites are active all year long, so they could be eating away at your home in the fall and winter without you even realizing it, which is often the case. 

But you keep termites from becoming an issue by working with us at Mayco Pest & Termite Control. To treat termite problems, we use various methods, including liquid treatment application, bait, and monitoring. Plus, we offer a termite warranty program, which includes an annual inspection to ensure your home protection from this pest.

Don't leave your home vulnerable to a termite infestation; call us at Mayco Pest & Termite Control.

Don't Do It Yourself When It Comes To Bed Bug Infestations In Argyle

Bed bugs are one of those pests that people don't think will happen to them, but the truth is bed bugs can occur in any home, so it's essential to know what to do about them. Often, people will first attempt DIY pest control methods to eliminate bed bugs but don't achieve the desired results.

Here are all the reasons why DIY bed bug control doesn't work:

• Once inside a home, bed bugs can spread to every room, not just bedrooms.
• To effectively eliminate a bed bug infestation, you need to target them at every life stage, which requires training.
• Bed bugs hide in tiny crevices to lay their eggs, and it is nearly impossible to reach all of them without the right products and methods.

Instead of trying to do it yourself, Mayco Pest & Termite Control can assist with professional bed bug control services. Our highly trained technicians know how to handle bed bugs and will ensure your home is free of them.

If you have concerns about bed bugs in your Argyle home, don't hesitate to call us at Mayco Pest & Termite Control. Partnering with us will get the quick and effective results you need while saving time, money, and stress.

What To Do About Black Widow Spiders In Argyle

While most spiders are not considered dangerous to people, one species does cause concern, the black widow. Female black widows, identifiable by their shiny black bodies and reddish-orange hourglass marking, can deliver a painful and dangerous bite to people. 

Although black widows are dangerous, they are not an aggressive species and usually leave people alone unless threatened. However, black widows like to build their webs in secluded and lightly-trafficked places that are low to the ground, such as in firewood or rock piles, so it can be all too easy to step on them or put your hand too close to them.

Like other spider species, black widows like places where they can easily catch prey pests, so the best thing to do to keep spiders from your home is to eliminate other pest issues. 

Give us a call at (940) 236-0628 for the services you need to keep your home free of prey pests, black widows, and other spiders.
