Cooler nighttime temperatures make us all want to bundle up, especially Asian Lady Beetles and Boxelder Bugs. These fall invaders sneak into homes in the fall, stay the winter and then look to escape back outside in the spring.

Are you living in denial? It is easy to do--especially with carpenter ants. But if you live in Wisconsin, you can't afford to ignore the warning signs of a carpenter ant infestation. Carpenter ants chew their way through support beams and load-bearing studs as they grow nest after nest in the walls of your home. If left unchecked, you could end up with damage that can never be repaired.
What does your home look like to bugs and rodents? Is it a foreboding place, devoid of even a morsel of food? Or, is it a buffet restaurant filled with every delicacy imaginable? In order to determine this, you have to get down to their level and see the world from their perspective. It might actually startle you how many food sources are littered throughout your home.
If the title of this article caught your eye, there is a good chance you are a doctor, or a health care professional. I'm sure you are aware that bacterial illness and disease must be suppressed continually. Instruments must be sterilized, hands must be washed, and rooms must be kept clean to protect patients with weakened immune systems, and prevent disease from spreading. This is not place for rats, mice, cockroaches, flies, and other illness-spreading pests. It is also not the place for pesticides.

We talk a lot about the dangers of rodents inside of homes and businesses but we don’t want you to forget that there is a threat of rodents outside as well. Meadow voles, also known as meadow mice or just voles, are a serious threat to the landscaping and even grass on properties of both homes and businesses in Eau Claire, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison and other Wisconsin communities. Our WI pest control professionals want to warn that as the snow melts this spring, you may begin to see damage to your property from an infestation of voles.
If you own or manage a food and/or beverage processing facility then you know that food safety is of the utmost importance. There have always been standards, laws, and regulations in place for food safety but now the FDA is taking food safety standards to a new level. The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed into law on January 4, 2011. Those in the food industry should expect even higher standard of food safety and a lot more documentation and record keeping requirements.
The result of a wet spring means an increase in those pests who thrive in moist conditions. You could say that April showers bring May pests. One of the common pests to find after a lot of rain and moisture are earwigs.
Have you heard of bioremediation? If you are in the food service industry, chances are you have. Bioremediation is any process that makes use of microorganisms or their enzymes to sanitize a contaminated environment, and this is especially important in the food service industry, where cleanliness can be of the utmost importance. At Terminix Wil-Kil, we take our commercial bioremediation services very seriously. If you have bad odors emanating from your restaurant kitchen, your drain line or your grease traps are clogged, you may lose customers and your reputation can become tarnished. We understand how badly a drainage problem can be for your bar, restaurant or food processing facility and that’s why we offer our professional bioremediation services throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northern Illinois, Northeast Iowa and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
