Fowler Pest Control and Termites has a longstanding reputation for honest and reliable service. Owner Glen Fowler has been in the industry for 30 years, and has operated his family business for over 20 years. With the help of his wife Karen, son Michael, brother-in-law Chuck, and daughters Molly and Maggi, Fowlers successful pest control has become a resource used by many families.

As a result of the growth of Fowlers company, they now have 17 service vehicles and cover San Diego, Riverside, Orange, and San Bernardino counties, although half of their business is still in Fallbrook, where Fowler was raised.

Some of the pests that Fowler Pest Control & Termites treat are: fleas, ticks, earwigs, roaches, wasps, bees, ants, mice, silverfish, sow bugs, spiders, rats, crickets, termites (subterranean and dry-rot), and pigeons.

Fowler uses bait technology, which approaches the insect problem with plant-derived alternatives, as opposed to the harsh chemicals the industry originally used, which are now banned. Bait technology has actually proven to be a more effective method since the insect must pass through the bait; it then brings it back to its colony, whereas the previous method using dangerous chemicals did not extinguish the insects at their source.

"Weather patterns have a lot to do with change in activity," explained Glen Fowler. "When things get stirred up, especially when the weather is abnormal for that time of year, we tend to see an increase in cases. Africanized bees are increasing in population, and are much more Advertisement [ Christ the King Lutheran Church ] aggressive than domestic bees."

Fowler mentioned that the worst thing one can do if being chased by a swarm of bees is to jump into a pool, for they will just keep summoning more bees from the hive. Instead, it is best to get into a safe, sheltered area.

For the last five years, Fowler has also been aiding clients with gopher and squirrel problems, which have increased dramatically.

When it comes to needed bird control, Fowler tends to use exclusionary techniques such as spikes to deter the animals, rather than trapping.

All of the technicians at Fowler Pest Control & Termites constantly update their education through quarterly and annual training classes and are professionally certified by the Pest Control Board of California. One of the reason employees are loyal to Fowler is the time and education that is invested in each technician.

Fowler Pest Control & Termites: honest, reliable

The VW Beetle is one of several different types of vehicles in Bug Doctor's fleet. Each white-covered fleet vehicle includes several company logos.

For New Jersey-based Bug Doctor Termite & Pest Control, expanding its services to new states means growth in employees as well as fleet. With 32 vehicles and counting, Bug Doctor now serves customers in five pest control divisions, each with specific fleet needs.

Stuart Aust, owner and president, started Bug Doctor Termite & Pest Control with his wife as a mom-and-pop operation in Paramus, N.J., in 1992.

As the business grew, Aust expanded his companys reach into other pest control divisions. In 1996, Bird Doctor was born. Three divisions soon followed: Mosquito Doctor, Animal Doctor (trapping of skunks, raccoons, squirrels) and Bedbug Doctor.

In 2009, Bug Doctor took one of its divisions nationwide. With its other pest control divisions mainly serving customers in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, Bird Doctor Nationwide now has customers as far as Texas and California.

Currently, Bug Doctor is averaging a revenue increase of 10% to 12% each year, says Aust. In the face of such growth, how does Bug Doctor manage the challenges of fleet?

A Diverse and Customized Fleet

With an expanding reach, Bug Doctor needs a reliable and up-to-date fleet. Aust decided to start leasing his vehicles instead of buying them. Cycling fleet every three years not only keeps maintenance costs in check, We found that gives our brand a clean and fresh look, he says.

Although each fleet vehicle wears the color white, Bug Doctors fleet is made up of several different types of vehicles. The trucks are broken down by division: 13 trucks for Bug Doctor, 10 trucks for Bird Doctor Nationwide, one for Animal Doctor and one for Bedbug Doctor.

Leasing Keeps Pest Control Fleet Up-to-Date

A study released by researchers at North Carolina State University shows Asian camel crickets are now common in homes across the United States.

Pest control experts in the Piedmont Triad say the exotic insects tend to live in dark, damp spaces. They do not bite or sting, but they leave behind a mess.

Theyre honestly very creepy. They jump very far; they dont have a lot of control over where theyre jumping or what theyre jumping toward. They look a lot like spiders and they move like spiders, except when theyre jumping, said Chase Hazelwood, with Go-Forth Pest Control.

The NC State study says Asian camel crickets are now more common than native crickets. The insects are scavengers, so they eat things like fungus and other insects.

Pest Control companies can take care of cricket infestations, but there are also some easy ways to take care of the problem yourself with glue boards or insect bait.

If you can get one caught on [a glue board], it will send out pheromone signals that will attract other camel crickets to the glue board as well. Its a very simple technique, said Hazelwood.

Other tricks include keeping crawl space vents open and keeping dark spaces in the house clean and dry.

DEAR ABBY: My wife walks around our house nude or topless with the shades open, and anybody walking outside can see in. Recently she did this while some painting contractors were working around our house. I have begged her not to, to no avail. What should I do?

DEAR M.M.: It appears you married an exhibitionist. You might point out to her that parading around that way could be considered disrespectful to the workers she's exposed herself to. But don't be surprised if she's unwilling to change because it may give her some kind of thrill. (I'm sure it also gives the viewers something to talk about around the dinner table.)

DEAR ABBY: Please remind beachgoers that they need to leave their fire pits OPEN and not cover them with sand. My 16- month-old grandnephew was walking on a beach in Carmel, California, with his mom and dad when he suffered burns to his feet from walking across sand beneath which were hot coals. It will take at least three weeks for this dear baby's feet to heal from those burns.

People don't realize that covering the coals with sand hides them and keeps them hot for up to 24 hours! Beach fires must be treated differently from those in a forest, where they should be covered with dirt because of the surrounding trees.
