It’s Stink Bug Season.

Welcome to stink bug season!  Sounds like fun doesn’t it?  Stink bugs are from the genus known as Hemiptera.  They are creatures equipped with piercing capability from their mouths and have straight antennae. The adult brown stink bug is about 1 inch in length and its body is nearly as wide as it is long.  You will also notice a brown color in the adult stink bug.

Most stink bugs are real pests to fruits and vegetables so they are undoubtedly attacking the garden on which you have worked so hard.  To feed off of fruit the stink bug pierces the skin and sucks out the juice.  Not only are the stink bugs that we see in Chicagoland a pest in our gardens, but they are a nuisance in our homes as well.  In late summer they begin seeking shelter indoors for the winter.

Now is the time to rid yourself of these nasty creatures.  You need an expert to come to your home or office to make sure that the stink bug is not setting up a “winter retreat”.  Call A Complete Pest Solution today at (630) 464-1542.  They have been serving Chicagoland year round for many years and for many years to come.

Beware the Box Elder Bug.

Box elder bugs are common pests over much of the United States. Adults are about 1/2 inch long. They are bright red or black with narrow reddish lines on the back.  Box elder bugs mainly feed by sucking juices from the box elder tree, however sometimes they are found inhabiting other plants.

Surprisingly they do very little damage to the trees they attack, but at certain times of the year they can become a nuisance. We have seen box elders dominate a property covering windows, getting into your clothes and your hair.

When box elder bugs build up to large populations and invade a home they are usually pests only by their presence, although their piercing-sucking mouthparts can sometimes puncture skin, causing slight irritation. Once box elder bugs have become established in the home, there aren't a lot of treatment options. There are not a lot of recommended chemical measures at this point.

It is important to call an expert to exterminate these summer pests.  A Complete Pest Solution has been that very solution for Chicagoland for many years.  Eliminate box elder bugs TODAY!  Call A Complete Pest Solution at (630) 464-1542.

Removing Bees and Wasps.

Did you know that up to 100 people die as a result of a bee or wasp sting each year? This is mostly because of an adverse allergic reaction they have to the venom that is released as part of the sting attack.  In this discussion we will become more familiar with bees.

There are 3 types of bees that are of importance… The bumble bee which is up to one inch long and has yellow and black stripes.  The carpenter bee, which looks like a bumble bee but it has a completely black and smooth abdomen.  The male’s face is yellow and the female’s face is black.  And then there is the honey bee, which is about a half-inch long and covered in fuzz.

Next time we will meet the wasp and learn more about this potentially dangerous creature.  For now, at the first sign of a bee, wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket infestation, immediately call A Complete Pest Solution.  They have been eliminating summertime pests in Chicagoland for decades.  Call them today at (630) 464-1542.  You and your family should be the only ones buzzing around your home!
