COMMERCIAL COCKROACHES SPRAY EXTERMINATION REMOVAL & CONTROL SERVICES



Seattle's Queen Anne area apartment complex has new tenants but not human. One of the tenants was stressed to see cockroaches and  wanted the creepy pests gone. The sad news is that if one apartment has a cockroach infestation chances are other units do too. The pests are constantly on the move. The tenant called the manager immediately to report the problem. Right then the cockroach infestation became a matter of record.

How do pest control companies get rid of wasps?


Hotter than hot weather in a Seattle area called Magnolia. Recently the Blue Angels were in town for Seafair. But the feared and aggressive Yellow jackets had already landed. The stinging and biting pests are bright yellow and black and are generally found outdoors. But the pests can also be found in attics, open carports, garages, in residences and other structures. In a Magnolia neighborhood a resident learned that Yellow Jackets are not seen only in the Summer. Many people refer to yellowjackets as bees. But yellow jackets are actually a type of Wasp. The Magnolia homeowner was quite alarmed at the number of Yellow Jackets swarming around the property. It was definitely time to contact a pest control company. Yellow jacket removal from both the attic and attached garage was a job for the pest control experts. This much needed professional service was the job for AMPM Exterminators. A company that did a successful pest control service last year.

Busy Yellow Jackets always on the move:

Yellow Jackets hunt for sweet foods, sweet liquids and all types of meat. Especially protein sources such as meats and other foods on the grill, insects and food garbage. The stinging pests even seek out protein found in bugs.  Important to remember that Winter is for the inseminated queens who tend to reside in attics and walls. Yellow jackets will attack humans and can be deadly if people have allergic reactions to the sting. Keep in mind that yellow jackets can chase humans for hundreds of yards. The yellow jackets stinger does not drop off. Do it yourself methods to get rid of the pests may not be enough to take care of an infestation.  Opt for professional pest control service. Call AMPM Exterminators to get rid of the Yellow Jack infestation successfully and safely.

Yellow Jackets are very aggressive:

Yellowjackets are very aggressive. More so than other stinging insects such as Hornets,  Mud Daubers, Bees and Wasps. Yellowjackets can sting and bite. Since the pests do not lose the stinger, it can sting many times.
Yellowjackets vigorously protect the nests. Swarm attacks can and will occur if someone accidentally steps on or hits a nest opening. If a nest is spotted do not poke, touch or kick it.  Mowing lawns can be hazardous during the late Summer season when colonies are huge. It's best to call on a professional pest eliminator. AMPM Exterminators covers many cities such as Seattle, Bellevue, Federal Way, Kirkland, Sammamish, Magnolia and more.

Prevention  and precautionary tips:

Yellowjackets can be unpredictable and very aggressive. Especially in late summer when the colonies are at the largest. Always look before taking a drink is because the stinging pests will fly into drinks. Yellowjackets hunt for sweet foods and drinks like juices, sodas and yes even adult beverages. Keep all garbage cans and dumpsters covered tightly  and away from eating areas. Yellow Jackets buzz around in the garbage for scraps and everything sweet. If swarming Yellow Jackets Stay attack stay calm as possible. Only because flailing movement will cause the yellowjackets to become even more aggressive. Crushing a yellow jacket is not advisable. The Yellow Jackets give off an alarm pheromone that alerts others in the area to attack. Keep children  away from overgrown or wooded areas which are prime nesting sites for yellow jackets. Do not use gasoline to try to eliminate a yellowjacket nest. This is very dangerous and environmentally unsound. Especially in the scorching heat here in the Puget Sound right now. Grass is dry along with trees and foliage. An AMPM Exterminators technician recommended recurring services for follow up treatments. The Magnolia homeowner opted for a three month service for prevention.

How to treat a Yellow Jacket sting:

Wash the spot with soap and water to remove venom. Apply cold water, icy cold wet cloth or a paste of meat tenderizer and water.
Give the sting victim a pain reliever or antihistamine to reduce swelling
Calamine products help to reduce itching.
Have the sting victim lie down.
Lower the stung arm or leg below the heart.
Do not drink alcohol or take sedatives.
If the sting is to the throat or mouth, Seek Medical Attention immediately. Swelling can lead to suffocation. Know the signs of allergic reactions.
