Safety in the Workplace When we leave home for work each day, we have a reasonable expectation that we will also return home. For some though, a workplace accident can send you to the hospital, or even end your life. Either way, you didn’t make it back home. Do you think that you could be involved in an accident at work? Probably not. We think we are in control of
Halloween makes us feel like we’ve rounded an invisible corner and are now on the straightaway to Christmas and the New Year. Before the chill of winter sets in, though, we enjoy the harvest season and the traditional happenings of this spooky holiday. Creatures crawling around looking for blood, demons squealing, and ghouls out of their tombs are images meant to horrify us. Vincent Price’s bone-chilling narration in Thriller recreates
Our state has many kinds of wildlife sharing our living space. Some species can be harmful to our homes and businesses. Raccoons and squirrels can get into attics and crawl spaces, causing costly damage. Insects like bed bugs can invade our beds and inflict a great deal of misery. Incursions from Florida’s wildlife are inevitable. Removing these pests from your home or business is rarely in anyone’s budget. Our experts
 Most people pay little attention to the ground beneath their feet. Why should they, it’s beneath them, right? The reality is our entire lives are built upon the ground.

Since it is warm all year long in Florida, lawn care is in
 Imagine being able to jump 100 feet in the air with ease. Climb up a wall, and walk upside down on the ceiling without gravity pulling you down on your head. Imagine hearing a whisper from 50 feet across the room. These abilities seem ridiculous for a human to do, but for insects, they can do just these things and more. They defy gravity. They can hang upside down
 The roots of pest control can be traced all the way back to the ancient Sumerians. They are the first and earliest known civilization. There are written records of the Sumerians using sulfur to kill bugs. The Ancient Romans and Ancient Greeks were also known to use toxic compounds to kill unwanted bugs and insects. It would seem we have been pestered by bugs since the very beginning. Essential
 Imagine one day you just finished watering your favorite garden tomatoes in your yard in Ormond Beach, Florida, and you notice there is a small leak dripping from the shut-off valve. No matter how tight you turn the handle, it still has a small drip. But it’s not that bad, so it gets put into the, “I’ll get to fixing that next week”, file. Eventually, later, it gets fixed.
There is an alien invader living amongst us. It is a creature of nightmares. It can take over our homes. It feeds on everything humans have ever created. It thrives on human settlements and human waste. It will cannibalize, eating their own to survive. It can even live for up to two weeks – without its head! They give off a repugnant, unmistakable odor. You know them and you fear
Like everyone else, there are times when homeowner’s associations are responsible for dealing with pest control problems. Each HOA is different and has different responsibilities for pest control for their properties. If you serve on a homeowner’s association board, chances are at one point or another you’ll have to deal with pest control problems.
