Heat & Drought Accelerates Mosquito Life Cycle The combination of heat and drought can accelerate the mosquito life cycle, resulting in more frequent breeding and larger swarms. This increase not only poses a nuisance, but also heightens the risk of mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus, Zika virus, and dengue fever. The health implications can be severe, particularly for vulnerable populations, making effective mosquito control more critical than ever. U.S. Pest understands the unique challenges that come with managing mosquito populations during extreme weather conditions. Our comprehensive approach includes inspecting properties for potential breeding sites, treating standing water with environmentally friendly larvicides, and implementing barrier treatments to reduce adult mosquito populations. By addressing both the immediate and long-term threats, U.S. Pest ensures that homes remain safe and comfortable, providing peace of mind during the hottest months of the year. As always, if you need professional help, U.S. Pest professional services are available to assist in managing more severe infestations.

Mosquito Activity On The Rise Due To Heat & Humidity We must address the threat of mosquitoes this week and for the rest of the summer season. While it's widely known that mosquitoes thrive in standing water, many people don't realize that drought can also exacerbate mosquito problems. During dry spells, stagnant water sources like birdbaths, clogged gutters, and even puddles from over-irrigation become prime breeding grounds. The lack of natural bodies of water forces mosquitoes to lay eggs in these easily overlooked areas, leading to a surge in their population.

7 Common Ant Species In Tennessee Tennessee is home to several common ant species. Here are some of the most prevalent ones that could plague your home during this heat and drought: • Odorous House Ants - Known for the strong, rotten coconut-like smell they emit when crushed. • Carpenter Ants - Large ants that can cause structural damage by excavating wood to build their nests. • Pavement Ants - Small ants often found in pavement cracks, but they can also enter homes in search of food. • Argentine Ants - Highly invasive ants that form large colonies and are difficult to control. • Fire Ants - Known for their painful stings, these ants build mounds outdoors but can occasionally enter buildings. • Acrobat Ants - Small ants that raise their abdomen over their thorax and head, resembling a heart shape when viewed from above. • Pharaoh Ants - Tiny, yellowish ants that can be a major indoor nuisance, often forming large colonies.

Homes provide a consistent environment with both water and food sources, making them attractive to ants during these conditions. So, what can homeowners do to prevent an ant invasion? Here are some tips: • Purchase a U.S. Pest Protection pest control plan and make sure to keep it active and current. • Eliminate Food Sources: Keep food in sealed containers, clean up spills immediately, and don't leave pet food out for extended periods. • Reduce Moisture: Fix leaky faucets, ensure good ventilation in damp areas like bathrooms, and use a dehumidifier if necessary. *Also, U.S. Pest offers complimentary inspections to offer solutions for moisture issues or potential moisture issues that could attract a host of insects or ants. • Regular Cleaning: Maintain a regular cleaning schedule to remove crumbs and residues that attract ants.

Heat & Humidity Increasing Ant & Mosquito Activity As we move deeper into the summer season, we're experiencing some of the hottest and driest weather of the year. But it's not just people and pets seeking relief from the heat. With the ongoing heatwave and dry conditions, our homes are becoming a haven for some pests, including an array of ants. These insects are on the hunt for water and food, which are harder to come by in their natural habitats right now. When the ground becomes too dry, ants begin to move indoors in search of moisture and sustenance. Cracks in walls, gaps around windows and doors, and even plumbing lines can serve as entry points for these determined pests. They can become a significant nuisance, especially in kitchens and bathrooms where water is more accessible. U.S. Pest has a few different options and treatment protocols for each type of ant, but it is important to disrupt their foraging and behavior before they become an infestation inside your home. As always, if you need professional help, U.S. Pest professional services are available to assist in managing more severe infestations.
