Have you ever hosted an outdoor cookout and felt like you were on the menu? You’re not alone! As much as we all love calling The Natural State home, there are certain times of the year when mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and other nuisance insects make us think twice about spending time outside.

There’s nothing like spending time outdoors during the spring. The temperatures and humidity outside haven’t reached their seasonal extremes yet, and it’s time to fire up the grill and watch the kids play. Unfortunately, when you’re having so much fun in your backyard, there seem to always be some unwanted guests that want to join the party!

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.
