We all take pride in our homes, and we should. We spend almost ⅔ of our life at home, and want to do everything that we can to keep our homes safe and comfortable. That’s why we install alarm systems to protect our homes from burglars, and keep emergency supplies handy for those times when Mother Nature does her worst. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize just how devastating that an infestation of termites can be! In fact, termites cause more structural damage to homes each year than fires, floods, and tornadoes combined. Even worse, infestations are extremely difficult to detect in their early stages.

We all want our homes to be safe and comfortable places for us to spend quality time with our families and friends. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of “uninvited guests” looking for food and shelter, and it’s a constant struggle to keep them away. Window screens are important to keep flying insects away, and we also need to inspect our rooflines for water damage and wood rot that can provide easy points of access for mice, rats, and other larger wildlife. But insects and wildlife can be quite resourceful, and sometimes we need a little extra help to keep them away!

Cookouts and picnics during the summer and early fall are always a lot of fun. Whether you’re taking the family to the park, the beach, or just into the backyard, they’re a great way to create some memories with your family, and enjoy watching your children play before they get too old. Unfortunately, in Arkansas, it’s real easy to find yourself on the menu if you don’t take the proper precautions.

The Northern Mockingbird is the official state bird of Arkansas, but if you talk to the locals during the summertime, they’ll tell you that it should really be the mosquito. The Natural State is aptly named because residents and tourists alike enjoy outdoor activities year-round Unfortunately, mosquitoes are a familiar nuisance for campers, hikers, and families simply looking to relax in their backyards. Additionally, because of the recent flooding that we’ve experienced, mosquito activity will be on the rise. As the Arkansas river recedes, large areas of stagnant water will be left behind, which is an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Spring has officially sprung, and summer is right around the corner. What this means for most Arkansans is getting to enjoy all the outdoor activities that the Natural State has to offer with their family and friends. Unfortunately, what this also means is that we’re about to spend the next several months swatting flying insects when we’re outside, and possibly dealing with crawling insects inside.
