Q & A With the Bug Man

1.) What is a good way to prevent ants?

The Urban Entomologist:
Really, the only way to prevent ants is to start a maintenance program. You can cut down on moisture and food items left out, but they will still be present without a barrier laid down regularly.

2.) How do you tell if you have termite damage?

The Urban Entomologist:
Normally there will be a mud line near the foundation going up the wall. Look for branch patterns behind the dry wall. The important thing to remember is that termites can root in anywhere, even roofs, where there is moisture.

3.) Is there a green way to protect our house?

The Urban Entomologist:
We use several products that are considered green and environmentally friendly. Namely, Alpine, Eco-Exempt, Eco-Pro, Mother Earth, and Invade Bio. These are considered Green Pest Solutions and help put down a barrier to prevent pest invasions and also lessen your impact on the Earth.
