Hearing a little rustling in the garage lately, Rogers? When October nights cool off, mice go looking for a warm place to spend the winter, and the garage is usually the easiest way in. A worn door seal or a gap at the corner is all they need.

Once they are in, the birdseed, dog food and cardboard boxes make it feel like home. Some will even nest under the hood of the car parked inside.

Our new guide walks through how to check your garage door, what to move into sealed bins, and how to clean up droppings safely. It is worth ten minutes before the first freeze, whether you live in Rogers, Lowell or Cave Springs.

Mice in garage spaces around Rogers move in as nights cool. Learn how they get in, what draws them, and how to seal your garage before winter.

Do not buy this bottle. If you already bought one, do not open it.

This is Sniper, sold right here on Facebook Marketplace for ten to twenty five dollars and advertised for roaches and bed bugs. It contains DDVP, a highly concentrated organophosphate that works as a fumigant. It does not stay where you spray it. It turns into v***r and fills the air your family breathes.

The EPA has named Sniper in its own alert flyers. It is not registered with the EPA, selling it in the United States is illegal, and other states have warned residents after real poisonings from bottles bought on online marketplaces. Exposure can cause heavy sweating, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and headaches, and heavy exposure can cause convulsions and coma. Children are hit the hardest. The EPA also classifies DDVP as a probable human carcinogen.

The bottle itself says it was made for stored grain, warehouses, and farm crops. Not bedrooms. Not kitchens.

One check protects you on any pesticide. A legal US label has an EPA Registration Number printed on it. No EPA number, do not buy it.

Already have a bottle? Gloves on, double bag it in heavy plastic, and take it to household hazardous waste. Never pour it down the drain. Feeling sick after being around it? Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.

Not sure about a product or a bug? Text us a picture at (479) 446-6566 and a real person will answer. Please share this, somebody in your friend list has seen this bottle for sale.

Found a leggy, humpbacked bug jumping at you in the basement? That is a camel cricket, and lots of Bella Vista homeowners are seeing them right now as they move inside for the winter.

Here is the thing most people miss. Camel crickets are harmless, but they only pile up where it stays cool, dark and damp. So a basement or crawlspace full of them is really a moisture warning, and that same moisture can invite millipedes, earwigs and even termites.

Our new guide walks through why they show up in October, the simple fixes that dry out the space, and why sticky traps beat spraying the air. Whether you are in Bella Vista, Bentonville or Pea Ridge, it is worth a read before winter.

The camel crickets Bella Vista homes get each fall are harmless, but they flag a moisture problem. Learn why they move in and how to keep them out.

Sweeping down webs is one of the most important parts of a proper service.

It is not just about looks. Webs show us where spiders are feeding, and taking them down forces new activity out into the open where we can spot it on the next visit.

That is why our techs work the eaves, porch ceilings, and corners with a pole brush as part of the job. Every visit. Not just when a web gets big enough to notice.

If new webs keep building back fast in the exact same spot, that usually means food and shelter for spiders right nearby. Worth a closer look.

Still scratching at your ankles in October? Fleas did not get the memo that summer is over. Around Van Buren, flea numbers build all season and often peak in late summer and early fall.

Here is the catch. The fleas on your dog are only a small part of the problem. The rest are hiding in your carpet, couch cushions and shady yard spots as eggs, larvae and cocoons, and those cocoons can wait weeks to hatch. That is why fleas seem to come right back after you treat the pet.

Our new guide covers why treating the pet alone falls short, where fleas hide around Van Buren and Alma homes, and the pet, home and yard plan that actually works.

Flea infestation Van Buren homes see in fall started in summer. Learn why treating the pet alone fails and how to clear the home and yard for good.

This is what a full service actually looks like.

Attic opened and fogged. Every web swept down. Granular spread. Every crack, crevice, and hiding spot dusted. Then the full perimeter sprayed, every concrete and brick ledge included.

Spraying baseboards and calling it done is not a service. This is.

Free inspections. (479) 783-1822

We recently took over this termite account. The old bait stations were there, but nobody had serviced them in who knows how long. Lids off, overgrown, full of nothing.

A bait system only works if someone actually maintains it. Termite protection is liquid treatment plus maintained bait stations, checked on schedule, or it is decoration in the yard.

If your termite company has not been out in a while, that is worth a question. Free inspections: (479) 783-1822

Almost every bug in your house walked there from outside.

That is why we treat the full perimeter, including every concrete and brick ledge where insects travel. Sidewalks, foundations, window ledges. The wet band in this photo is doing the work while nobody is watching.

Quarterly service is mostly an outside job. Sweep the webs, treat the perimeter, keep the barrier up. Inside stays quiet because the outside is handled.
