How To Limit Mosquito Exposure In Stokesdale
Mosquitoes can make your spring and summer in Stokesdale miserable, with their itchy bites and constant buzzing around. Here are a few tried and true tips for limiting your exposure to them:
Remove all areas of standing water. Mosquitoes require still water in order to lay their eggs, so always strive to turn over the water in places like kiddie pools, birdbaths, and your dog’s dishes. This also means not allowing water to pool up in grill and pool covers, flower pots, and in low-lying areas around your property.
Keep your yard free of debris. A close second location for mosquitoes to seek refuge is in places like leaf piles, hedge trimmings, and other backyard clutter because they are dark, moist, and cool. Regularly remove these items, lest you build a nest for mosquitoes unknowingly.
Try your hand at plants. There are some plants that are said to naturally contain elements that mosquitoes find repellent. They include lavender, citronella, gardenia, rosemary, thyme, eucalyptus, and clove.
Limit the human factor. Because mosquitoes require our blood in order to reproduce, they are after it, and so many things about humans are attractive to them. To limit your exposure to mosquitoes, opt for unscented hygiene products and detergents, minimize the time you spend outdoors during dusk and dawn, try not to sweat, and don’t drink too much alcohol, as these are all factors that determine how attracted mosquitos are to you.
Call the pros. Keeping mosquitoes away can be a real pain, which is why the most effective thing you can do to protect yourself from mosquitoes is to call a pest professional.

Answering Stokesdale's Most Frequently Asked Bed Bug Questions
Bed bugs are a very common pest in places like Stokesdale, but they don’t have to be. Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions about this pest and some answers that will help you understand preventing and handling them:
How did I get bed bugs? Bed bugs live wherever people are, so it’s easy enough to pick them up on used furniture or mattresses, after a trip to the movies, or even after a hotel stay or taking public transportation.
Will I know if I have them? Sometimes the signs of bed bugs are subtle and other times, less so. They may include pepper-like feces, eggs, eggshells, appleseed-shaped nymphs, bed bugs themselves, rust-colored staining on your sheets, and waking up covered in bites that you don’t remember getting.
Are they harmful to my health? Bed bugs feed off of your blood, but the biggest threats that they pose are the welts that they leave behind and the secondary infections that can come from scratching. They are also said to instigate allergies and asthma in some people.
How do I get rid of bed bugs? If you suspect that you have bed bugs, always call a professional exterminator. These situations must be handled in total and you can’t afford to skip a single step, which is why the best thing you can do is to contact a pro.

I'm very grateful that I found this company today!
“Amazing response time, reasonable prices, great customer service. Tevin was thorough and confident in his plan to fix our horrendous fire ant problem. We have had negative experiences with prior exterminators and probably waited way too long to call Go-For”

Great service with excellent solutions for any of our needs.
“We have been customers for almost 7 years for a reason. Our technician is the best. He always knows exactly how to address whatever pest has decided to bother us. We have referred them to many of our neighbors. Well worth the cost not to have to worry abou”
