As much as I think ants are incredible for their simple and yet complex system of hierarchy, their evolutionary prowess, their strength not only in numbers but also in design and resourcefulness. They are in the end; a pest. As a nuisance and even sometimes a danger to our house, family and pets we have to address their presence and take action against them at times.

Now comes the tricky part, treatment for ants can be as varied and complicated as the ants themselves are. It doesn’t have to be. RESULTS brand Ant & Insect control is designed to quickly and effortlessly rid your house and yard of ants in two very easy steps.

Second, mix powder in a house end sprayer and spray your outside suspected harbors.

Recently, my family dog, Chief Running Rug or ‘Rugs’ for short, came in from her afternoon romp in the yard, plopped down and began to feverishly scratch behind her ears. Feeling like my job as ‘the ear scratcher’ was being usurped I bent down to reclaim my role. Suddenly I felt a crawling sensation on my wrist. Upon closer inspection I gasped… fleas!

At first I was in shock. I deal with flea cases all the time with my customers, but have never had one myself. I felt guilty for unknowingly allowing my family pet to suffer this way. I wondered how long she had them. Then I started thinking… how bad was it? Did my cats have fleas? Where could they have come from?

I was intimately familiar with this foe and knew what had to be done. For some reason I couldn’t shake a feeling of responsibility, like it was my fault Rugs had picked these fleas up. Just as quickly as those rueful thoughts surfaced they were replaced with a sense of peace knowing that I could and would take care of the fleas quickly and in the best possible way. Even if it was somehow my fault, at least I knew I could correct it!

The next day I realized that the entire situation would have been unbearable without my experience and access to information to fall back on. I would have been frantic for a solution and concerned about my pets and family. I can imagine being confused about how to proceed. That’s when it hit me… this week blogs post should be about what to do when fleas attack! That way our customers will have the same peace of mind I felt that can only come from knowing exactly what you need to do when your family is under siege by fleas.

The treatment:

I quickly formulated a plan of attack and executed it with precision.

First, I went to the pantry where I keep my companies line of RESULTS products. I grabbed a couple pounds of RESULTS Flea & Tick killer and went out back with a determined scowl on my face. This was war; the fleas had made the first move, now it was my turn. I hooked up the hose end sprayer, mixed RESULTS at the proper ratio and proceeded to spray my backyard from top to bottom paying special attention to the bark chips in the flower garden where I knew fleas loved to hide and breed.

Immediately following the backyard treatment I went inside and proceeded to sprinkle RESULTS on my dogs’ bed and the carpet in the house. I also treated the baseboards and corners of rooms without carpet. I left this down while I ran a bath for Rugs. I mixed some of RESULTS into the bath water and gave her a gentle and complete scrubbing using the treated water. Fleas were instantly falling dead everywhere. I was winning the fight.

Next, I went back and vacuumed up the powder I had applied earlier and checked my cats for any fleas. Thankfully there were none. I must have caught the infestation before it got out of hand.

I’ll continue treating the carpets, my backyard and Rugs for the next few weeks, but the fleas are gone and Rugs is at peace. I’m just glad that when fleas attacked, I was ready.

Bed bugs are with out a doubt one of the hardest insect infestation to deal with. We are here to help!

Bed bugs are tenacious, hardy and extremely virulent pests. They will tax your mental state, your wallet and your health. Very few people know much about bed bugs. Even those they affect simply see them as a pest and nothing more… they are more, bed bugs are in my eyes, the perfect human pest. They are back and here to stay. They are forcing us to deal with them. Here is a list of things you should know when dealing with a bed bug infestation of your own.

DO

• Create a plan – Bed bugs are such an involved pest that just about any attempt to eradicate them from your home is going to take a plan that you follow and adjust as things progress and change.
• Gather information – Get as much information as you can, it’s free and important. There are a lot of suggestions out there that have worked for some people and might work for you. The best way to prepare your plan is to gather as much knowledge as you can about bed bugs so that when they react to your eradication attempts, you know why.
• Rally the troops – Make sure everyone in your house or complex is on board with your plan. The largest obstacle to your plan of action is going to be you or someone else not following it.
• Keep a journal – If you are like me, you have never kept a journal in your life. But, for bed bugs, you’ll want to break out the pencil and green bound journal book. Looking back and seeing the history of things you have tried and the result of those actions can be ‘the thing’ that makes you successful.
• Stay vigilant – Even after you have been successful in getting rid of the problem you need to continue with bed bug prevention. Most likely, you will always need to do some things differently in order to live bed bug free once there has been an infestation.

DON’T

• Let them spread –Giving your infestation to your neighbors is easier than you think. Especially since, when treating, bed bugs will be encouraged to find other hosts (they can travel up to 100 yards!). Take steps to make sure they don’t get away from your treatment plan.
• Stop too early – One of the most common mistakes people make is they stop treating once the bed bug bites stop. This is almost always a mistake. Bed bugs will still be around for weeks and even possibly months after your last bite.
