Pest control problems, like spiders and ants, cause more damage to property and real estate in the United States; than fires and storms combined. Varying weather, and other climatic factors throughout the United States, create pockets of specialized pest problems and concerns; for local residents and guests. In many U.S. states, exterminators battle highly aggressive invaders; like the Red Imported Fire ants and Black Widow spiders. These tiny soldiers can bite and inflict painful skin welts, and even cause death; with their powerful venom.
Stealthfully, the Red Imported ant pest has spread from Alabama, to almost every U.S. State in the American South; from Texas to Maryland. Their mound-building activities have damaged plant roots, lead to crop loss, and interfered with the mechanical cultivation of agricultural resources. Pest control experts warn that it is not uncommon for
Fire ant mounds, to appear suddenly in a rural or suburban yard or field. Rarely, is the Red Imported Fire ant's sting life-threatening to humans. Nevertheless, in the United States, eighty deaths have been documented; as of 2006. Furthermore, a single Queen Imported Fire Ant, can produce (up to) 1,600 new ant eggs each day, creating an enormous pest control problem; for unsuspecting homeowners and area residents.
The most common of the unwanted spider-invaders, include the Black Widow spider, Nevada Orb spider, Jumping spider, and Wolf spider. The female Black Widow spider's bite is particularly harmful to humans (males almost never bite people), and the toxic venom that is injected from these tiny attackers; can be lethal. It has been said, that
Black Widow spiders will avoid human dwellings, but are more common in out-buildings, sheds and garages.
As you can well imagine, spider and ant infestations, are not easily prevented or corrected. As such, an educated and focused strategy is strongly recommended, encouraged, and seen as a homeowner's best recourse. Furthermore, the successful exterminating strategies for eliminating these pests, must employ the latest pest control technology and solutions, that has been extensively researched and developed in Universities; across the United States.
