As a Nashville pest control expert, the professionals at All-American Pest Control make it clear they want to help Nashville residents maintain a pest free home this summer. "Finding pests in the home during the summer is more than just a nuisance, says Erin Richardson, President of All-American Pest Control. Many infestations can translate into health issues or even property damages which is why professional pest control services are always recommended."

Consider the following summer pest prevention tips from All-American Pest Control:

Check the outside perimeter of your house for any shrubs or tree limbs that may be touching the sides of the house or hanging down over the roof. This allows easy access for pests to enter your home. Trim or cut back as needed.

Check for any low spots in your yard that stay moist or allow standing water and fill in, sloping away from foundation. Also, check for any amount of standing water in pans or containers, as this is an attractant to mosquitoes and even termites. Mosquitoes are prone to carrying diseases and can be a detriment to your health. Termites are a physical threat to the condition of the structure of your home.

Clean all around your property and make sure that any pile of leaves and wood debris are gathered up and removed. This type of debris will attract ants, termites, spiders and other pests.

Use motion sensor lights around your property. Insects are attracted to exterior lighting and lights left on for extended periods of time will attract insects to your door. A motion sensor only turns on when you are going in or out of your home and is off the rest of the time, reducing the chances of insects coming in.

All-American Pest Control shares these pest prevention tips to Tennessee residents to help protect their home and family from unwanted pests. They also make available their Perimeter Pest Control program as a means of protection from more than 47 common pests. All-American Pest Control is a local, family owned and operated pest control company and has been serving Middle Tennessee since 1961. Visit http://www.allamericanpestcontrol.com to learn more!

FORMER Sen. and now Presidential Adviser on Food Security and Agricultural Modernization Francis Pangilinan during his first press briefing as a member of the Cabinet. GRIG C. MONTEGRANDE

LUCENA CITYAn official of the scientists group Advocates of Science and Technology for the People (Agham) on Friday blamed the government for its failure to prevent the outbreak of coconut scale infestation (CSI), or cocolisap, that could have been foiled five years ago.

Finesa Cosico, Agham secretary general, said the pest was first detected by the Regional Crop Protection Center of the Department of Agriculture in Barangay Ulango in Tanauan City, Batangas province, in 2009.

If only the government, led by the PCA (Philippine Coconut Authority), paid serious attention to reports of the initial infestation, we would not be dealing with CSI on such a massive scale right now, Cosico, an agriculturist and entomologist, said in a statement sent to the Inquirer.

At this point, Cosico said the government should adopt an integrated pest management in its war on the pest.

This, she said, includes all pest control measures, such as the introduction of natural enemies and the application of organic pesticides to ensure effectivity of pest control strategies.

Coconut farmers stand to lose more if the government continued to offer paltry solutions, according to Cosico, who worked with the National Food Authority from 1999 to 2009 before she joined Agham full time.

Cosico said there were colonies of cocolisap in each infected coconut tree, which should be matched with a swarm of predators, or biological control agents, like the coccinellid Cryptognatha nodiceps, or friendly beetle.

She said the PCA released 24,000 coccinellid beetles in 2013 but these were insufficient, as pests started to destroy nearly 500,000 coconut trees in Quezon province alone.

The PCA does not even have a beetle for every infected coconut tree in Quezon, Cosico said.

On Wednesday, a morning team installing trim finished just in time for an afternoon crew to start painting.

Ive been double-checking schedules and making many phone calls this week, said Merten, Jacksonville division vice president for Toll Brothers, a Pennsylvania-based homebuilder.

What would be bad is if someone didnt show up, he said. Thankfully everyones been here on time.

Merten is one of more than 30 homebuilders and subcontractors leading projects for HabiJaxs Builders Blitz. More than 1,500 volunteers also participated in the weeklong event to build 25 homes and renovate 25 others in New Town.

Its HabiJaxs second Builders Blitz since the recession and the first in which Builders Care, the nonprofit arm of the Northeast Florida Builders Association, has returned as a partner to renovate old homes.

Its been a challenge for builders like Toll Brothers short-staffed and keen to capitalize on a long-awaited market recovery to spare workforce for the charity build. But Merten seemed to be enjoying the pressure.

Its different to work for free. Its fun to help out, he said. This is a beautiful area. It just needs some support.

One pair of hands helping Merten belongs to Alysa Booth, a 23-year old technical support specialist for Citigroup. Booth will move into the home at the end of the week. She didnt qualify when she applied for a home loan through a bank, but did qualify for HabiJaxs zero-interest loan program.
