Your Quick Guide to Pest Control

Carl Shaw | May 17, 2010

Critter and Pest Defense owner Carl Shaw is an extermination expert in Orlando, Florida. His company is certified, licensed, and insured, and uses the most eco-friendly pest control techniques possible. In addition, Shaw prides himself on using humane animal removal solutions when working with both commercial and residential clients. In these articles, Shaw tells homeowners how to better protect their homes from pests and other vermin.

Natural Ways to Get Rid of Pests

Using harsh chemicals during extermination can do more than just kill pests—it can potentially put homeowners and their families at risk. Thankfully, there are now a number of environmentally conscious pest control solutions made from natural elements that can effectively get rid of bugs and other pests without posing any potential risks to children or pets.

Your Extermination Calendar

Preventative maintenance is always important when trying to control pests, especially in warm climates like Florida. This calendar is meant to serve as a guide, letting you know when to be on the lookout for certain vermin and pests, and when is the right time to bring in an exterminator for an annual home inspection.

Will Extermination Chemicals Harm My Family?

Certain extermination chemicals and solutions can harm families with children or pets if the proper precautions are not taken. By utilizing the services of an eco-friendly pest control company, families can reduce their risk significantly. This is because these companies work with homeowners to ensure that projects are done in a way that will not be harmful to anyone but the pests that are being killed.

What to Do About Birds’ Nests

Birds nests that are allowed to grow can become a safety hazard to families with children. In order to get rid of nests effectively, and to ensure that the birds don’t try to come back, an extermination expert needs to be called in. A pest control specialist will be able to remove the nest and spike the area to ensure that birds don’t try to create nests in the same spots down the road.

What Can a Raccoon Do If It Gets Inside My Home?

Raccoons are dangerous animals that can cause physical harm to anyone they come into contact with, and a raccoon that has nested in an attic can cause thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to insulation and wiring. Unfortunately, because raccoons are nighttime creatures, many people don’t realize they have infiltrated their homes until it is already too late, which is why it’s important to call an exterminator immediately if one has been discovered in your house.
