Evansville, IN (PRWEB) March 13, 2014

Next week, March 16-22, Action Pest Control is proud to observe Termite Awareness Week, an annual observance by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) to promote public vigilance against termites and educate homeowners about ways to ensure their properties dont fall victim to this voracious pest.

Pest proofing and home improvement projects are often designated to the spring season. Now is the perfect time of year to take the necessary steps to protect our properties from costly damage, said Kevin C. Pass, President at Action Pest Control. Because termites arent often detected until its too late, we advise consumers to arrange for an annual termite inspection from a qualified pest professional.

Termites feed 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the cellulose found in wood and paper products. They can silently chew through structures undetected and cause more than $5 billion in property damage every year, an expense that isnt typically covered under homeowners insurance policies.

Last year, we fielded 1,487 termite calls and expect the tempo of swarms to increase when the weather warms, added Pass. In this region, we are especially concerned about the prevalence of subterranean termites and proper identification of the species is essential to effective treatment.

Action Pest Control offers the following prevention tips for homeowners to help guard against termites:

Evansville Pest Control Company Prepares For Termite Awareness Week

Riverside, CA (PRWEB) March 13, 2014

Gopher season begins in March for Riverside and Corona and by April it is in full swing. Rodent Guys Gopher Extermination Company offers pet friendly gopher control and mole removal for Corona and Riverside residence with a 60-day guarantee.

Rodent Guys uses two methods of gopher control. The primary gopher control in Riverside and Corona is trapping. Gopher traps are placed underground down inside of tunnels and out of sight. The traps are positioned in a manner to trap the gopher or mole while they traverse their tunnel system.

The second method of gopher and mole removal is with carbon monoxide. The gas injection is used as a back up method to trapping to ensure all gophers have been eliminated including young in the den.

This one, two punch is unique to Rodent Guys who developed this method in response to new regulations limiting the use of certain pesticides that were once used effectively to control gophers. Pest control companies today only have access to the same strength poison baits as consumers can buys at local hardware stores. For this reason, Rodent Guys no longer uses bait for residential gopher removal.

Rodent Guys thinks they will be among the few gopher service companies to be around because they strive to continue to update their methodology and evolve with the changing laws. Additional information about Rodent Guys Gopher Control Service for Riverside can be found on their website at http://www.rodentguys.com or give them a call at (909) 599-4711

Batten down the hatches!

That's the best way to limit the number of stink bugs that invade households, according to local exterminators.

Be diligent, said Patty Daniels, owner of Daniels Pest Control of Connellsville since 1995. Seal cracks and gaps around windows and doors, and repair damaged screens. Install screens on vents including bathroom, clothes dryer and stove vents.

Local exterminators concur that it's impossible to keep all stink bugs outside, although there are ways to reduce their numbers when they get inside, including traps.

The most effective are pheromone traps, which lure the insects with a stink bug-like scent, said Don Swaney, who has 34 years experience with Vermin Control Co. of Uniontown; The company has been in business since 1928.

Light traps also are somewhat effective, he said. Shaped like a funnel, the traps contain a bright LED light which attracts the bugs. They go in but can't get out.

Nix sticky traps

Sticky traps, used to catch many pests, have minimal success with stink bugs, said George Riggar, who has operated Safeway Pest Control in Uniontown since 1986. You only catch a few.

Swaney agreed.

Say good riddance to stinkbugs by staying vigilant, taking action ASAP

Taking a proactive approach, the Food Safety Modernization Act calls for implementing hands-on measures to prevent food contamination. Rigorous pest control management is one of these proactive primary lines of defense that prevents foodborne illness and contamination

The excitement generated around the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) promises to be a win-win for the consumer, as well as for all parties in the food supply chain. With rules more clearly defined and federally mandated, food processors will know exactly what is expected of them. Concurrently, the FDA will be endowed with the ability to inspect and issue fines and penalties for noncompliance.

Plants that have already been audited by major third-party auditors and the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standards will most likely be in compliance. Smaller, regional food processing plants that have not already implemented a formal food safety program will see the largest impact. Facilities will be required by FSMA to prepare and implement a written plan identifying possible hazards and specifying the steps that will be taken to ensure food safety and monitoring. Food processors will also be required to maintain thorough records, including those actions taken to correct potential or ongoing threats to food safety.

Learn how to survive an FDA audit

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) will be a critical component of any comprehensive food safety plan. The largest food recall in U.S. history occurred in 2009, the result of Salmonella traced back to Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) in Blakely, GA. The Salmonella outbreak killed eight and affected 19,000. Inspectors found rats scampering throughout the facility, a copious amount of rat feces, and a leaky roof capable of nurturing noxious germs. This massive recall, and subsequent plant closing, helped spur the push for federally mandated regulation, which has taken the form of FSMA.

IPM combines pest management, sanitation, and maintenance practices to prevent food contamination from rodents and insects. FSMA requires hazard analysis, necessitating facilities to identify and evaluate known or anticipated hazards. Comprehensive inspections and risk evaluation of a proactive IPM program should assess facility design, structural issues, and other conditions conducive to pest infestation. Additionally, FSMA requires preventive controls in order to prevent or significantly minimize food safety hazards. This compels processors to examine the use of sealants to prevent egress, the elimination of potential pest enticements, sanitation practices, and non-chemical options. Finally, FSMA requires corrective actions be taken, recorded and reported, as well as thoroughly documented monitoring schedules and procedures. It also necessitates reassessment of each facilitys food safety plan at least once every three years.

A recent agreement between the FDA, The Center for Environmental Health (CEH), and the Center for Food Safety (CFS) has resulted in a staggered schedule for implementation of FSMA. Originally set for full implementation in June 2015, the new deadlines are as follows:

Facilities, processors, and transporters should take note of the Aug 30, 2015 date. Putting an effective pest management plan in place now will ensure your efforts are consistent with what FSMA will demand. The standards, as time progresses, may become more stringent, but a well-devised and well-executed IPM plan now may prevent a costly and humiliating recall later.

A continued construction boom in South Florida and Miami-Dade County has put a heightened demand on skilled construction workers that has only increased over the past eight months.

To account for higher ratio of demand to supply, firms have begun increasing offered wages to attract skilled workers, said Brad Meltzer, the southeast president for Plaza Construction.

For Florida construction, there have been several hundred thousand jobs, and weve started to see more activity in that sector, said Sean Snaith, director of the University of Central Floridas Institute for Economic Competitiveness at the 2014 Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) Commercial Real Estate Outlook Conference this year.

With the current work, the skilled labor workforce is definitely becoming a situation that all of the general contractors and subcontractors are keeping an eye on as a valid concern, said Mr. Meltzer. The projects that tend to feel the brunt of the demand are mostly likely smaller ones, from which some of the larger projects in town are pulling away workers.

There has been competition to attract the skilled labor force and to try to lure them to different companies and job sites, Mr. Meltzer said.

For large projects like the Brickell City Centre, there was the expectation that the drain on the workforce would create an absence of workers. Thankfully, the City Centre project hasnt created as much of a void as some had expected, Mr. Meltzer said.

More technical trades like mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection the MEPS are typically in short supply. Those are traditionally the more complicated, and the trades that typically require the most education and training, Mr. Meltzer said. Others trades like painting, stuccos and masonry, which are still very critical trades to the industry but dont require as much training and education, may be easier to find, he said.

Plaza Construction has long looked on a national level to attract top talent in subcontracting, and its possible that in response to the local drain on the skilled workforce others will do the same, Mr. Meltzer said.

Both with general contractors and subcontractors, theres only so many skilled, qualified, experienced people in our industry, and while we are attracting talent from out of town its hard to find, he said.
