Q. Who Needs A Pest Inspection?
VIEW MOREQ. My wife’s mother gave her a wooden dresser that is fairly new. It has groupings of small, shallow holes in the surface. My wife thinks these are some kind of wood borer holes, but I think they might have been done on purpose by the manufacturer. Have you ever heard of anything like this?
VIEW MOREBiologists know that when favorable conditions result in a heavy crop of tree nuts, there’s a corresponding increase in rodents and other animals that feed on these nuts. There is also a correlation between this increase in nuts, the increase in rodents, and an increase in certain diseases in humans.
VIEW MOREQ. My brother and I made a bet about something and my mom said to ask you. My brother says all insects have wings when they get to be adults. I say he’s wrong. Fleas don’t have wings, do they? This is important because the winner gets the other guy’s allowance this week.
A. You can tell your brother that you win that bet, just remember to save some of that money for college. Maybe you’ll be an entomologist some day!
VIEW MOREInsects are without a doubt our greatest competitors here on planet Earth. Worldwide crop losses due to insects and other pests are estimated to be about 48% of production every year. Another 25% of this production is lost in storage predominately due to insects and mites. Insects (invasive forest insects) cost US taxpayers and homeowners billions of dollars in lost property values every year. http://biology.cos.ucf.edu/2011/10/insects-cost-homeowners-taxpayers-billions/
VIEW MOREQ. We recently had a dead squirrel in our attic. When my husband finally found the body, there wasn’t much left of it but there were a number of black beetles on the body. Were they feeding on it? Where did they come from?
