Do you constantly find yourself bit or stung? Have you had allergic reactions to different kind of bug bites? Here are the three most common bug allergies and their symptoms.

Fire Ants

Fire ants are everywhere in the warm, summer months. For some people, their bites cause a little red bump that itches for a week or so then goes away. For others, it can cause a serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can show symptoms in several different parts of the body. Normally the fire ant bite will swell up and become very irritated. It can also cause swelling of the throat and tongue and even nausea and stomach problems. If you get bit by a fire ant and start to feel any of the symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Bees

Bee stings can result in a variety of reactions. Some bee stings cause mild reactions like pain at the time of the sting and a small, red welt. Some can cause moderate reactions like extreme redness and a welt that grows in size within the first couple of days. But some people have severe reactions, including everything from itching, hives and discolored skin to nausea vomiting and erratic heart pulse. If you have any symptoms of a severe reaction, go see a medical professional right away. The tricky thing about bee sting allergies is that the first time you get stung, you can have mild reactions and the second time they could be severe.

Mosquitoes

When living in a hot, humid place, mosquitos in the spring and summer are inevitable. Most of the time, their bites are just an itchy nuisance that goes away after a couple of days, but sometimes people can have allergic reactions that make them much worse. Children, or if you get bitten by a type of mosquito you have never been bitten by, are more likely to have worse reactions. The more severe reactions have symptoms like a large area of swelling, hives, swollen lymph nodes and even fever. If you are prone to getting bit by mosquitos, try wearing the mosquito preventative bracelets or spray.

Bugs are just a part of life, but bug allergies don’t have to be. If you find yourself always irritated by common bugs and their bites, call Apple Pest Control today for ways to prevent bugs in your home and pests in your backyard.

The BBC ran a story in early April about a homeowner who called a local pest controller after realising he had a bee problem. A thorough inspection revealed a 1.2 cubic metre hive housing an estimat 10,000 honeybees. It took the pest controller about six hours to relocate them to a new home.

Should you ever find yourself in a similar situation, there’s no need to panic. Honeybees are harmless for the most part. If you don’t bother them, they won’t bother you. We know there’s little comfort in that when you’re seeing thousands of bees swarming around your home. But know this, we can relocate them safely with no harm to either you or the bees.

Large Hives in a Home

It is the bees’ natural instinct to reproduce and grow their hives. As such, hearing the buzzing of activity in the spring is good news. It means the majority of the bees have survived the winter and are now ready to grow and expand their territory.

When large hives are found inside homes, it means that the bees have found a warm and safe place to set up house. The larger the hive, the more accommodating the house is. But again, there’s no need to panic. Those bees can be relocated while the house is buttoned up to prevent new hives in the future.

When Bees Swarm

We weren’t surprised by the BBC article inasmuch as this is the time of year when honeybee activity really starts to pick up. Over the next several weeks we should be receiving increased calls for dealing with swarms. Honeybees typically swarm in late spring and early summer as they search for new homes.

It’s easy to panic at the site of a swarm. What you might not know is that swarming occurs when bees in search of a new home need to take a rest. If you just leave them alone, they will eventually feel energized enough to get up and keep moving.

Why We Relocate Bees

Unlike a wasp removal procedure that may involve destroying an active nest, it’s in the best interests of honeybees to simply relocate them. There is no need to destroy their hives given that relocation is so easy. The question you might be asking is why we go to all the trouble of relocating.

The answer is found in dwindling honeybee populations around the world. Over the last decade or so, we have lost a lot of honeybees for reasons we can only begin to speculate about. Regardless of those reasons, we cannot afford to lose any more. So it’s better for us to relocate hives than destroy them.

As experts at pest control in Berkshire, we are standing by to handle any bee and wasp problems you might have in the coming weeks. In the event honeybees have made a home of your home, call us and allow us to come out and relocate them.

Ants come in many varieties, none of which you want in your home. Pavement ants, also known as Tetramorium caespitum, are a very common form of ants. They take their name from the most common place they’re seen – on sidewalks and pavements.

Pavement ants are very small, about 3 millimeters long. They’re dark brown to black in color with six legs and antennae. You will most commonly notice them outside on pavers, concrete, sidewalks, etc., especially near small mounds of dirt on or near cracks and seams in the concrete.

Where do you find pavement ants?

As their name indicates, pavement ants are primarily outdoor insects. They typically nest beneath gravel, sand, pavement, sidewalks, concrete slabs, etc. While they do come inside to forage for food and, sometimes, to seek a warm spot during winter; the majority of pavement ants stay outside.

Because they don’t nest in, eat or damage wood, pavement ants do not cause structural damage. They do sometimes nest inside over the winter. When they do, you will tend to find these ants near masonry walls on the ground level, in wall or ceiling voids, under floors, in wall insulation or near sources of heat. They will travel along pipes, electrical lines, conduits, along baseboards and near the edges of carpeting.

Pavement ants enter homes and buildings through expansion joints, cracks in the building’s concrete slab, weep holes, gaps, sub-slab heating ducts, around waste pipes, bathroom traps, and other small openings. Pavement ants can also follow trails as far as 30 feet when they’re searching for food.

Still, in general, pavement ants prefer to live outside. Carpenter ants are a much bigger problem indoors.

How can you tell if pavement ants are inside?

While pavement ants generally stay outdoors, here’s how to tell if they came inside:

1) A trail inside, especially in kitchens while they’re hunting for food.
2) Swarming ants
3) Piles of “ant dump,” which is dirt, debris, tiny pieces of concrete or mortar, etc. pushed out while pavement ants nest

A single ant or two can wander in or accidentally be carried inside any time. With regards to point number one above, if you see worker pavement ants consistently over a period of a few weeks, they might be nesting inside your home. Speaking of which…

What do pavement ants eat?

Pavement ants, Tetramorium caespitum, are also commonly called “sugar ants” in the United States, which are not to be confused with Camponotus consobrinus. That’s an Australian ant which is also referred to as “sugar ants.”

Pavement ants are often nicknamed “sugar ants” due to their taste in sweets. Sugar and crumbs from sweet foods attract them as do grains, cereal, and pet food. They can also be attracted by fats, grease and proteins. Outdoors, they are known to eat plant roots, seeds and the honeydew from aphids.

Can pavement ants sting?

Yes, but not usually humans.

Pavement ants do have a stinger but it’s primarily used when fighting with other ants. Even then pavement ants tend to be rather tame in comparison to some other insects, so they mostly fight to defend their territory, and attacking pavement ants tend to only do so when they need to expand into a new area that already has another ant colony.

Stingers in pavement ants are fairly weak. They’re not strong enough to break human skin so they’re more of a nuisance (unlike wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets).

Pavement ants, however, are very territorial and can get into fights on a large scale with other pavement ant colonies, especially in the spring and early summer. When you see large amounts of pavement ants on the sidewalk, this might be what happened.

It’s one of those things that keep any property owner up at night. You may do everything in your power to keep your home or business well maintained, but a bad termite infestation can definitely affect your property value. So you need to be on the lookout and this is the time of year you should pay special attention to possible termite problems. As the weather gets warmer, termites will become more active. It’s also common to see termites swarm in the spring. If you’re worrying about termites right now, you can protect yourself with Arrow Exterminating.

Arrow Has Been Battling Termites For More Than 70 Years

Arrow Exterminating is no newcomer to the battle against termites, we’ve been helping customers battle termites on Long Island in Nassau and Suffolk Counties since 1947. We also serve the 5 boroughs of New York City. Our expert technicians know all the ways termites can get onto your property. We will inspect the premises as well as the interior of your home or business for evidence of infestation. If we see something, we’ll design a plan to take care of the problem. We want our customers to know about spring termite swarms.

Termite Colonies and Swarming

To understand why termites begin to swarm in the spring, we need to understand a bit about the life cycle of termites and what goes on in termite colonies. According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), termites are usually classified in three groups: Workers, Soldiers and Swarmers. Workers are basically in the construction and repair business; they build and repair the colony’s nest. Soldiers take care of protecting the nests. Swarmers handle reproduction and there’s a lot of that going on in the spring.

When the weather gets warmer, NPMA estimates this occurs around the time temperatures hit 70 degrees Fahrenheit, both male and female swarmers become active. Termites look like ants but with a straight waist (instead of pinched) and wings about twice the length of the body. They leave their nests in large numbers and female swarmers release mating pheromones to attract males. The termites couple and begin to nest. When the coupling happens, the male termites shred their wings. If you see those wings in your home, it’s a telltale sign that you may have an infestation.

According to Angie’s List, you will only see termites swarm once and that is early in the spring.  Very often the swarming will occur right after a heavy rain. If you see any other type of insect swarming after spring, they usually aren’t termites. They might be ants and you shouldn’t ignore them but now is the time to begin looking for termites. The swarming termites won’t immediately damage your property, but once a colony is established you could see damage and termite damage can be extensive. These insects cause over $2 billion in damage each year.

If You Have Termites, You Need Arrow

Discarded wings aren’t the only signs of termite infestation. Other things that indicate you may have a problem include dark, blistering or rotted wood, and dirt colored tubes in or around your home or wooden structural features of your home or building which sound hollow when tapped. If you have any of these problems, don’t risk the damage. Contact Arrow today.

If you were to pause and think about how many bugs are in show business, you would realize that you made the wrong career choice and start Googling “insect talent agent.” Whether it’s as your conscience personified or as your phobia relived, insects find a way to make it onto the silver screen. Below, we’ve made a list of films with the most memorable insects for you to enjoy.

“James and the Giant Peach” – When you combine the twisted brilliance of Tim Burton and Roald Dahl, things are bound to get creepy. The group of insects that James befriends when he transforms from human to clay figure are what make the movie what it is. No one could ever forget the scene where Mr. Centipede gets captured by pirates and is stretched passed human/insect capacity. My joints ache just by thinking about it.

Scarab Beetles from “The Mummy” – Anyone and everyone’s nightmares come to life when the incredibly fast beetles crawl under the skin of the people in the movie. I think after this film was released, travel reservations to Egypt plummeted due to the public’s fear of these beetles’ existence. *Shudders*

Essentially any character in “A Bug’s Life” – An ant that invents a hang glider and a telescopes, a gluttonous German caterpillar and a gender-confused ladybug with a temper. What more could you need from a Disney movie?

The tarantula from “Home Alone” – This insect helped save Kevin McAlister’s life, for crying out loud! He deserves the Noble Peace Prize! Hero or not, I wouldn’t want him crawling on my face.

Charlotte from “Charlotte’s Web” – Charlotte is the only spider that I’ve mourned the death of – real or fiction. She taught Wilber – who was completely obnoxious – how to love himself. She showed him how to make the best of each day rather than wallow in the sad truth of his imminent death. She was “some spider.” Rest in peace, Charlotte. Rest in peace.

We often associate venom with snakebites, but did you know fire ants have it, too? If you’re unlucky enough to be injected by fire ant venom, you’ll likely suffer from small, red welts that are itchy, swelling and painful. In the worst case, you could even have a severe allergic reaction. Here’s how to mitigate the damage.

You’re Stung – Now What?

Start with a cold pack to alleviate itching, numb the area and bring down swelling. Next, take an antihistamine or apply hydrocortisone cream to reduce pain and itching. Follow up with a pain reliever. You’ll likely have a bump for up to an hour and a small blister for up to a day

Allergic Reactions

In the most extreme cases, one can have severe allergic reactions to fire ant stings. Hives, nausea and tongue swelling are a few of the many symptoms you can suffer. Seek medical attention immediately if a severe allergic reaction occurs. In the most extreme cases, fire ant bites can be life-threatening.

Spotting Fire Ants

Fire ants are reddish and build mounds, which are especially noticeable after a good rain. Not native to the India , fire ants were accidentally brought into the country in the 1930s. The best way to prevent fire ant stings is to be aware of your surroundings to avoid stepping into mounds. Home inspections also are an effective way to identify and receive guidance on how to keep fire ants out of your yard.

Villains and bugs have one thing in common: their intrinsic evilness. But do you ever wonder what kind of pest your favorite villain would be if he or she were in a bug movie? From comic book characters to children’s movies, here’s a breakdown of a few villains and the types of bugs they most identify with.

Lord Voldermort

As Lord Voldemort took hold of the Dark Arts in the Harry Potter series, the cockroach embraces the darkest areas of your home. Whether you’ve seen one creeping behind your dirty laundry hamper or crawling around your washing machine, these tiny creatures are just as evil and scary as the on-screen villain. If you’ve seen one too many of these in your home, call a pest-control muggle.

The Joker

The Joker is often pictured rubbing his hands together in a devious, yet creepy way – just like the common housefly. Just when you think they have left you alone, they are back to buzz in your ear and ruin your nice afternoon. Either way, the twitchy nature of both the fly and The Joker will leave you wondering what comes next.

The Wicked Witch

The Wicked Witch of the West is depicted as a green-skinned witch who ruins Dorothy’s trip to Oz. Similarly, the green stink bug can ruin anyone’s day after releasing the foul odor it uses as a defense mechanism. This smelly bug will get you, and your little dog, too

Freddy Krueger

Just like Freddy Krueger attacks during night time, the bed bug also strikes while you’re sleeping. While the bed bug won’t kill you, this stubborn parasite can leave behind itchy bites that will have you scratching for days. One…two they’re coming for you.

From on-screen to in-home, it’s easy to see that bugs and villains have a lot in common. If you have any evil pests that you need handled, contact us to schedule a pest control appointment today. Our team of experienced exterminators, not only help get bugs under control but can spot areas of risk.
