First and most important don't worry they're not even close yet.They have been spotted in Pacific North West.Recent invaders from Asia.They are a threat to honeybees, but as understand it- because they are bigger so is that dang stinger.

MYTHS, FACTS AND INFO:

1. Name is a misnomer. Misleading due mainly to their size.They can be 2 inches and usually yellow/orange with brown/black body.
2. I would be more worried about Africanized Honeybees,far more aggressive in nature.Wasps or Hornets can sting multiple times.A bee suit can help but that stinger is long.
3. The Africanized Honeybees made their way from Brazil starting in 1956,so I'm sure these Hornets if not stopped will make their way here.It will take time and another reason to read this newsletter.State entomologists are keeping track and will keep the public informed.
4. Have an issue on your property? Call ProBest and let the Professionals give you their opinion.We will charge you an inspection fee.If you choose us for treatment within a 90 day period,we will credit the inspection fee into the price. 480-831-9328 or 623-414-0176

What is GREEN? Most people can't define it.Its part of IPM and a main reason we don't do inside normally.These days there are products just for inside pests and only if you have them.This is a main reason why ProBest is a Gold Member of PESP.I also serve on a Pesticide Stewardship Committee at the U.of A.Its not always about the bug - its the knowledge of the bug and pesticide and safety.Oh and how to properly treat and where.READ THE LABEL.

TRIVIA TIME

What has killed more humans than anything else? Mosquitoes-2nd is probably fleas.

Name 2 bugs that bring something to mankind?Honeybees of course and silkworms.

My nasty bug is the fly,hate them and cockroaches are a close second.That's why we are the Public Health Experts.

Rodent activity

This bait proves activity and I like to show customers.Bait doesn't always show dead things.We only use a calcium mobilizer and/or salt formulations.

NO anti-coagulates.NO secondary poisoning.

Scorpions

Scorpions are tough on certain parts of the Valley.We also do home-seals,this prevents them from getting in.

For a limited time special on home-seals.Currently $8 down to $6 a lineal foot,hard intensive work for techs.Caulking the j-trim helps to keep critters out.

Honeybees

Swarming bees may or may not take up home at your home.If you see a swarm stay clear,they will probably move on.But if you see them going in and out of an opening its time to call.480-831-9328 or 623-414-1076
