Here in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, there is no shortage of pests, bugs, and insects that survive by eating the plants throughout our landscape.
Drywood termites are a serious threat to properties across the southern U.S., and unfortunately, south Florida.
Termite tenting is something all South Floridians know about, or will know about, but no one wants to deal with. Fumigation can be costly, and the inside and outside preparation that is required is quite the burden. Not to mention, you and your family will have to evacuate for a number of days.
On a warm, humid evening, perhaps following a gentle spring rain, the air is alive with thousands of tiny winged insects, darting and fluttering in a chaotic dance, navigating towards the light around your property.
Whether they’re buzzing through your barbecue, harassing you as they dart around your head, or contaminating food in open containers, flies are an unwelcome sight in any home. But how did they get inside?
Ants and termites are both incredibly common pests. They are so common and look enough alike (termites and flying ants in particular look eerily alike) that, at first glance, many people confuse the two. It is important, though, that you learn how to tell the two apart.
There are two common types of rats here in South Florida. If your home becomes infested, you might be wondering how to tell the difference between roof rats vs. Norway rats? Roof rats go by many names: Florida palm tree rats, black rats, ship rats, or house rats.
As the weather warms up in Florida, spending time outdoors becomes a daily activity. However, being outside playing in the yard can lead to unwanted bug bites, particularly in the spring when insects are highly active.
Moving is stressful enough without worrying about pests tagging along. Unfortunately, moving and cockroaches often go hand in hand, especially in South Florida’s warm climate.
In Florida, bugs are a part of life. Thanks to the humid weather, residents often share their living space with many household pests.
We have all heard of spiders, but what are opiliones? First of all opiliones are better known as “harvestman.” Second of all there does not exist much difference between the two types since they are both arthropods and they are both members of the arachnida animal class.
Big Headed Ants are an invasive species that are common in subtropical climates, like we have here in south Florida. They can be particularly difficult to control due to a single colony having multiple queens, reproducing year round.
Termites are among every homeowner’s worst fears. Subterranean termites can especially cause significant damage to the structure of your home if an infestation is not eradicated quickly.
Opossums are often misunderstood animals. While they might look intimidating with their sharp teeth and beady eyes, opossums are not typically aggressive creatures. In fact, they’re often quite shy and prefer to stay away from humans.
Here at Hulett Environmental Services, we receive many questions regarding the different species of termites and questions about the various effective treatment methods for eradicating infestations, including “Do you tent for subterranean termites?”, along with “Does tenting kill subterranean ter
