Backyard games, swimming, and cookouts are just a few of the activities we enjoy as the temperature climbs. Unfortunately, there are uninvited guests waiting to put a damper on outdoor fun.

Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) are just a few of the diseases spread by these insects.

When addressing a rodent issue, it is important to identify harborage areas and food sources around the structure. Wood piles, construction material, dumpsters, and improperly contained garbage provide attractive environments for mice and rats.
