Don’t Dare Knock Down a Wasp Nest!
Here is a solid piece of advice from the Winnipeg pest control services of Gilles Lambert Pest Control: Do not disturb a wasp nest! There are several different wasp species. They’re considered to be very beneficial creatures in nature because of their capability of killing other insects that destroy crops. However, wasps do pose an issue for both pets and humans as their potent venom may be life-threatening to anyone who’s allergic to their uncomfortable sting. Like other kinds of creatures in nature, some kinds of wasps are more aggressive than others. Below we list a bit of helpful information to distinguish the difference between them:
Commercial Pest Control
Are you on the lookout for commercial pest control or residential pest control services? Don’t worry, because Gilles Lambert Pest Control can take care of you, either way with your Carpenter bee problem. Carpenter bees oftentimes are mistaken for bumble bees due to their similar body colours and shape.
However, these two kinds of bees are very different with the exception that both of them collect nectar and pollen. Bumblebees are docile insects that make their nests inside the ground. They do not usually sting unless someone decides that holding them might be a great idea.
Crispy Pest Control
Extermination has traditionally been focused on two axises: prevention and extermination. On the preventive axis, we have all of the things that you can do to avoid pests spawning in the first place: sealing holes in your walls so mice can’t access your food, turning over stagnant water so mosquitos can’t spawn, and all manner of other techniques that you use before pests become a problem. On the extermination axis, we have all the tools to deal with pests who have become a problem: fumigation, traps, heat treatment, and all of the other tools for pest control Winnipeg residents can use. There’s a new axis that has developed recently, though, one with a myriad of philosophical and scientific implications; the CRISPR system.
Ant Intelligence
Humans are fascinated by ants. One reason for this is how irritating they can be; an anthill near your home or a swarm of ants at your picnic can create a host of unpleasant problems, from inconveniences to real damage to your food and health. The other reason we’re so fascinated by ants is that they are social animals whose large group interactions may remind us of our own. Individuals working on artificial intelligence have used the concept of ant swarm intelligence in a lot of pioneering works, and algorithms inspired by ants are so prevalent in computer programming that a whole classification of them is known as “ant colony optimization algorithms”. How smart are ants, and what makes them so smart?
A Pesky Primer
We’ve worked hard to provide pest control Winnipeg can trust. The history of pest control is probably as long as the history of humans, and a lot of different techniques have been developed to limit the impact of pests on human activities. The ways of controlling pests differ based on the kinds of pest you’re looking to control, where they’re located, and what you’re trying to protect. To dive into all of this, it’s important to have an understanding of what pests are.
Staving off the Zombie Apocalypse
There are about a trillion different reasons you don’t want mice. First, they’re really creepy; you hear them skittering in the walls and occasionally squeaking, and it makes sleeping very uncomfortable. Then, there’s the feces and the contamination of your foodstuffs; definitely not a fun experience. There’s also a host of transmittable diseases that come from mice, the most well known being hantavirus, though there are plenty of other illnesses that can spawn from mice. Here’s something way more bizarre and outlandish, though; the potential for mice to cause a zombie apocalypse. We’re delving into the realm of speculative fiction here, so please note there is no hard evidence that mice are going to create zombies. Let’s dive in.
