How Much Does Pest Control Cost in 2024? - Forbes

How much does pest control cost? One of the largest factors in estimating pest control prices is the type of pest you're treating for. See More See Less Termite Treatment Cost Termite treatment costs an average of $575 , but prices may range between $70 and $1,530 depending on the size of your home and infestation and the treatment employed by the exterminator. More severe infestations could exceed $2,000 for total fumigation. You may also need to budget roughly $100 for a termite inspection. Mosquito Treatment Cost You'll spend between $100 and $500 to rid your home and landscaping of a mosquito infestation. Typically, mosquitos are an ongoing problem requiring regular treatment to keep them from returning. If you can't dramatically alter your landscaping to make it less attractive to mosquitoes, you'll probably want to hire one of the best mosquito control companies to treat your home monthly during mosquito season.

How to Get Rid of the 10 Worst Insects for Your Garden - Family Handyman

Image
1 / 10 Awei/Shutterstock Aphids One of the most common plant pests out there, something that anyone who's even grown tomatoes will certainly be familiar with, but they can affect almost anything in your garden. These 1/6-inch pear-shaped creatures pierce plant tissues to suck out sap, causing one of the most common plant diseases. Affected plants often form puckered leaves, show stunted growth, and can die without treatment. Moreover, the honeydew (a sweet, sticky substance secreted by aphids) promotes the growth of sooty mold and attracts ants, which protect the aphids because they want the honeydew. How to get rid of aphids: Wash plants with a strong spray of water to dislodge aphids, or remove and destroy affected plant parts. Safe, natural pest control remedies include spraying with horticultural oil (petroleum- or vegetable-based oil used to smother insects), insecticidal soap or neem (insecticide m...

Best Weed and Feeds of 2024: Expert Picked | U.S. News - U.S. News & World Report

Image
Things To Consider When Buying Weed and Feeds Lawn Type and Coverage Area: It's essential to understand the type of grass growing in your lawn, as some weed and feed products can cause severe damage to certain types of grass. If you aren't sure, call your local extension agent (an agent employed by the county government) and ask them to come and take a look. The size of your lawn also plays a significant role in determining what product to use, and different products require different volumes of spread. "Depending on the lawn size, a 50-pound bag will typically cover 10,000 to 12,000 square feet," explains Steve Peeler, internal agronomist of Simple Lawn Solutions. "Make sure to read the label to confirm the application rate and do not exceed product recommendations to avoid excessive herbicide chemical buildup in the soil." "Weed and granular feed products typically require applying to wet grass such as morning dew so the chemical is absorbed into the ...

Critter Control, the Nation’s Largest Nuisance Wildlife - GlobeNewswire

Image
BRUNSWICK, Ga., May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critter Control , an industry leader in the humane removal of nuisance wildlife, is pleased to announce the grand opening of its newest franchise location in Brunswick, Georgia today. Co-owned and operated by Forester and Angela Scarboro, the new location will serve the Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Echols, Glynn, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Pierce, Ware and Wayne Counties, with the ability to focus their wildlife removal efforts on the residents of the Golden Isles , including St. Simons Island, Little St. Simons Island, Sea Island and Jekyll Island. The Golden Isles are lush with natural habitats, which are currently being disrupted by expanding real estate development. This often displaces many native animal species, such as rats, bats, armadillos, squirrels and raccoons, causing them to venture out into residential areas, in search of new places to live inside and around area homes. The presence of these critters often leads to unwant...

Get better weed control with soybean residuals - Farm Progress

Image
New herbicides are evaluated in university test plots during the growing season. "We rate them for efficacy on control of various weeds, and those results help us develop efficacy tables in the Weed Control Guide," explains Bill Johnson, Purdue Extension weed control specialist. While Johnson and others evaluate plots in Indiana, colleagues do the same in Ohio, Illinois and Missouri. Weed specialists collaborate to produce a weed control guide so growers from all four states can use it with confidence. Newer soybean residual herbicides Recently, Johnson demonstrated using tables to find chemicals to augment the newest soybean residual herbicides on tough weeds. "Many farmers and crop advisers ask this question: How do I get more control of waterhemp with soil-applied herbicides?" Johnson says. "To step up waterhemp and Palmer amaranth control, metribuzin is an option. So are Group 15 herbicides, including Dual, Warrant, Outlook and Zidua. "You could also c...

IGI CO2 Powered by Liphatech extends its reach to insects, commodity fumigation - Pest Management Professional magazine

Image
John Murphy demonstrates the IGI CO2 system at a "rat crawl" Liphatech co-sponsored with Catchmaster Pro before PestWorld 2022 in October. PHOTO: LIPHATECH IGI Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Powered by Liphatech has long had a record for being an effective method of rodent control. The technology was patented by Inert Gas Injector and in August 2016 received registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for "fumigation of storage, transport, [and] containment storage pest control." A short time later, it received a label amendment adding burrowing rodents. The full IGI CO2 system features the exclusive The Eliminator Injection Device for which to distribute the gas into rodent burrows. At press time, it is registered in every state but Maine. In September 2021, Liphatech acquired IGI and was able to take the ICI CO2 system to the next level. As a result of the acquisition, Liphatech's John Murphy, who has been with the Milwaukee, Wis.-based rodentic...

Image
Many factors can be weighed in deciding which pest control company you should hire. Our list of the best pest control companies provides a great starting point, but be sure to consider the following as you do your own research: Availability in Your Area Make sure the company you choose can accommodate services in your location. If you live in a remote area or a city where the company of your choice does not operate, it may not be able to provide service to your home. Double-check to make sure you are within range of a company's service area before moving forward. Cost Most pest control companies can provide a ballpark estimate of cost over the phone, but many will need to perform a home inspection before providing you with a more accurate quote. Some companies offer free inspections and quotes while others do not. Additionally, some companies offer payment plans whereas others only accept payment up-front. Ultimately, the cost of service will vary based on the type of pes...

6 Chemical-Free Homemade Weed Killers For Your Garden - House Beautiful

Image
Nothing ruins a garden like uninvited weeds that rob your plants of space and nutrients, but have you checked your kitchen cupboards for the answer? Common household supplies, such as salt, vinegar and baking soda, are brilliant for banishing garden weeds naturally. How to make homemade weed killer Weeds can be controlled without resorting to harsh weedkillers. Keep reading for ideas on how to make homemade weed killer using items you may already have at home: 1. Vinegar A homemade vinegar solution can effectively kill younger weeds, however, it's not a permanent solution for deep-rooted weeds. Vinegar can alter your soil to prevent things from growing there in the future, so make sure to use this on block paving and gravel driveways only. To use, add to a spray bottle and spritz the leaves and stems of weeds. 2. Salt Salt has been used as a herbicide and pesticide for hundreds of years and can be very effective in killing off garden weeds. To use, dilute three parts salt with on...
