KNOCKOUT – HONEY, I’M HOME!!!

January 20, 2012

Honey... I'm home!
Winter Vacation

It’s winter in New York. The ice and snow storms may not be here yet but they will come. However, the temps are dropping, especially at night. So, when the weather becomes too inhospitable outside for the billions of insects and millions of rodents… what do they do? Well, many insects simply die and just leave behind eggs and egg casings for their offspring to emerge in the spring. Other insects, act like migrating birds; they take off to warmer regions, only to return when warmer weather patterns shift back north. Other insects burrow their way deeper into the ground or use a unique survival technique called “homogenous nucleation” where the insect turns its body fluids into a sort of anti-freeze so they can hibernate over the winter.

Unfortunately, the majority of outdoor pests, including rodents, do what WE do - they go “inside”, into our homes and places of business. Basically, they want to move in with us. What really makes matters worse is that when these pests find out how good WE have it indoors and that WE are a seemingly endless resource for food… they never want to go back outside.

Whenever YOU see in the wintertime a mouse scurry across a kitchen floor, a centipede speed across a basement floor, a clicking firebrat near the fireplace, or even one of those scary cave crickets anywhere in your home… you realize then you’ve got the potential of a big problem.

Whether it’s a home or business, it doesn’t take long in the ideal conditions of the warmth and safety of an indoor environment to have a population of rodents or insects explode into a full blown infestation.

So may we suggest THREE things – (1) BEFORE you see the first signs of any pest invasion problem CALL Knockout Pest Control to do an interior and exterior inspection of your home or business property to alert you to existing or potential pest entry issue. (2) CALL Knockout Pest Control at the very first sign of any pest you see or see signs of in your home or business. Addressing a pest problem early on means treatments will be more effective and less costly.,
(3) CALL
Knockout Pest Control and arrange to protect your home or business with our unique KO-12 Program. Having a Knockout Pest Control KO-12 program will give you the ability to CALL Knockout Pest Control for almost any pest problem WITHOUT worrying about any extra costs. See the KO-12 Banner on this website for more details.

We hope you enjoy your winter.

Hi. I have located your webpage by mistake when I was searching for something else. I just wanted to tell you that I found the information on it very useful even though I wasn’t looking for anything remotely related to pest control. I also like the design, it’s cool!

Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your weblog? My website is in the same niche as yours but in a totally different country. My website’s visitors would truly benefit from some of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this is alright with you. Thanks.

I have been reading a few of your posts and I must say nice stuff. Some of it is very humorously written yet informative. Odd, but I’m going to bookmark your website’s blog. It’s entertainingly written.

The idea of having bed bugs is very traumatizing. I keep my house so clean people think I have O C D. Just the idea freaks me out. I’m clean and not a pig who has a house full of dust mites, fleas, or bed bugs. Then I read your blog postings. I’m still freaked out about the idea of dust mites and bed bugs but I understand the problem better and it is helping me deal with the idea. Could you write a blog posting about all of the different parasitic pests there are and maybe if I understand them better I can deal with the idea and know what to look for and how to deal with them. It may sound a little crazy but I’m sure I’m not the only person who gets freaked out by the idea of having these animals on my body all over sucking blood from me. It’s an eerie feeling.
