Our Pest Control Tips for Stilwell, KS

What Makes Bed Bugs In Stilwell So Hard To Get Rid Of?

You are unlikely to get a peaceful night’s rest if you find bed bugs in your Stilwell house this afternoon. Bed bugs are common pests, but that doesn’t make it easier to handle your own infestation. It is even harder because bed bugs can be so difficult to get rid of. Why is that the case?

For starters, bed bugs are good at hiding. Although you will likely find them in your bed, that’s not the only place they hang out. You might also find them in cracks in your floor, in the far depths of your dresser drawers, behind picture frames, in the seams of upholstered furniture, or even inside your walls, which they access through electrical outlets.

Bed bugs are also resilient. Over the years, they have become resistant to many common products used to eliminate them. They can go for months without eating, and female bed bugs can lay up to 500 eggs in a lifetime. These factors make eliminating bed bugs difficult if you don’t have the proper training, experience, or tools.

Luckily, local pest control for bed bugs is available in Stilwell from the trained professionals at Mantis Pest Solutions. We use the most up-to-date methods and equipment to safely and effectively eliminate your bed bug infestation. Don’t waste time or money on DIY bed bug control or pest control companies that don’t have the proper experience to do the job right. Contact Mantis Pest Solutions today.

Stilwell Gopher Removal & Mole Removal

Gophers and moles may be cute, but they are also destructive. When they get onto your Stilwell property, you’ll quickly discover this to be true. Their underground tunnels and the holes they create when they surface can wreak havoc on your lawn and turf, as well as create tripping hazards for anyone who walks across your property. They also cause problems for your gardens, damaging roots and destroying plants.

Getting rid of moles and gophers can seem impossible, but Mantis Pest Solutions offers gopher and mole control in Stilwell that does the job. We warranty our gopher and mole control services to ensure the full elimination of the problem on your Stilwell property. Contact us to get started.

Bed Bug Control Tips For Stilwell Homeowners

Bed bugs are different from other pests in that they don’t simply crawl into your house from the outdoors. Instead, they hitchhike their way into your home on your clothes, luggage, and secondhand items. When it comes to bed bugs, the best prevention is to take steps to keep them from traveling into your home. Here are a few tips that will help you stop bed bugs in their tracks.

Always perform a bed bug inspection when staying somewhere away from home, even if it is the home of a friend or relative. Look for black fecal spotting and brown stains on fabrics that are pressed between two surfaces, such as a mattress or box spring. Inspect the folds and pockets of couches and chairs. Look under the feet of furniture, and inspect along baseboards.

Always inspect used items. Bed bugs can hitch a ride in a mattress, box spring, bed frame, nightstand, alarm clock, radio, computer, gaming chair, couch, piano, and more. Look for feces, blood stains, shed skins, white eggs, and bed bugs.

Manage your luggage while staying somewhere overnight. If a luggage rack is provided, open your luggage only on the rack. If not, open your luggage away from the bed and off the floor. These are locations where bed bugs can get into your bags while you get items out.

When you or your kids return home from spending the night somewhere, put all laundry items through a hot wash with soapy water. Soap dries bed bugs out and eliminates them. It is also essential to put your laundry through a 30-minute or longer dryer cycle. Heat eliminates bed bugs in all stages of development.

While these tactics can help you to avoid a bed bug infestation, you can’t completely eliminate the possibility of bed bugs entering your home. If you do see signs of bed bugs, be sure to call Mantis Pest Solutions for fast and effective bed bug control in Stilwell.

How To Identify A Rodent Infestation In Stilwell

You can’t know if you need rodent control if you have yet to identify a rodent problem. Unsure if any rats or mice have found refuge inside your home? Some clear signs of rodents in your home are:

Sounds of rodents, including scratching, squeaking, and shuffling
Noise coming from within your home’s walls
Rodent feces and urine stains
Foul smells
Gnaw marks
Chewed wires and food packaging
Nests made of paper, fabric, insulation, etc.
Seeing a live rodent

Rodents can be difficult to spot around an average home, but keep these telltale signs in mind to help you identify whether rodents are likely hiding in your garage, basement, attic, or pantry. As soon as you identify rats or mice in your home, contact the professionals at Mantis Pest Solutions for expert rodent control.

Mosquito Control Solutions In Stilwell

Mosquitoes are nuisance pests frequently found in and around Stilwell properties. Mosquitoes, although small, can cause severe illnesses in humans and pets. Your pet could potentially be infected with heartworm, while you or your family could be infected with West Nile virus, dengue, chikungunya, or an array of other illnesses. Worst of all, it seems that mosquitoes are everywhere we look. The good news, however, is that you don’t have to face mosquito infestations alone. Our team is prepared to provide you with mosquito control whenever you may need it.

You may still be wondering how you can prevent or control mosquitoes on your own. Although obtaining professional help is the best way to get mosquitoes under control, there are still a few simple tips that you can implement for basic mosquito control solutions:

Drain any objects that have been collecting water around your yard.
Keep your yard free of tires and other trash that could collect rainwater.
Clean your gutters frequently.
Regularly change swimming pool water.
Treat pools and ponds properly.
Drain bird baths, pet water bowls, and any sources of standing water.
Ensure that your lawn is cut short.

Pest control for mosquitoes doesn’t have to be a hassle. Contact Mantis Pest Solutions for more mosquito control tips and to schedule an appointment for professional help.

Are There Poisonous Spiders In Stilwell?

The good news is the vast majority of local spiders are no threat to you or your family. However, many residents worry about venomous spiders in Stilwell.

In short, it’s fairly likely that you’ll encounter one or more species of venomous spiders while in Stilwell. There are two main types of spiders that you should always be on the lookout for: the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider. Both of these venomous spiders pose a threat to humans.

The brown recluse spider is found throughout the Midwest and is considered dangerous. This type of spider has a violin-shaped mark found on its body. Although brown recluse spider bites are fairly rare, it isn’t impossible to get bitten by one. In that case, it’s crucial to know that the venom of a brown recluse spider can cause serious wounds. The initial bite is reported to be painless. Many times, you could be completely unaware that a brown recluse has bitten you until a few hours later. Your skin will likely react by turning red, tender, and swollen. Medical attention may be necessary.

The black widow spider is one of the most notorious spiders known for its poisonous bites. Black widow spiders are shiny black spiders with a red hourglass mark on the underside of their abdomen. Alternatively, you may just see two separate dots instead of an hourglass mark. Black widow venom can cause painful abdomen rigidity and chest tightness, and medical attention may be necessary.

Whether you’re worried about venomous spiders, pesky mosquitoes, or any other pests that are threatening the peace of your home or business, give us a call at Mantis Pest Solutions to get those pests under control once and for all. Call us today!
