Preventive Pest Control featured in syngentaPMP.comThursday, May 5th, 2011We were recently featured on the syngentaPMP.com website here: http://www.securechoice.us/articles/NewsArticle.aspx?paid=146454&type=feature This is a pest control industry website specifically target to pest management professionals (PMPs). Now you know why we kick so much butt at controlling scorpions. Poem…Ants in my HouseMonday, April 25th, 2011Here is the 2nd poem written by our new customer Sue about the ants she had in her home before Preventive Pest Control came to service. The 1st poem can be found here. Ants in My House First mice in the house and now there are ants, They all march in a line, almost seeming to dance… They waltz on the counters and tango in the sink, In and out of the outlet, like skaters on a rink… Those black little critters come in and go out, Searching and smelling for food, no doubt… They make quite a pattern as they come and they go Marching and dancing and skating, oh no!! How do they know from their secret hiding place, That there’s a crumb on the counter from a donut that was glazed? Somehow their sniffers must be truly high tech, But the point to this poem is they’re making me a wreck! I get out the Raid and kill the ones in sight, But more come out in the wee hours of the night. They dance and they skate and they march in a line, But curve around those dead ants, all ready to dine, On a morsel, a dribble, a crumb or a spill I swear all these ants are making me ill!! - Sue Crawford - Poem…Mouse in my HouseMonday, April 25th, 2011A few weeks ago one of our faithful customers referred their neighbor to our Preventive Pest Control service. As we went by the new customer’s home she was excited for the service and told us she had even written some poems recently about the little things getting in. She has graciously aloud us to share her thought here…can any of you relate? This first poem is about mice: I Have a Mouse in my House There’s a mouse in my house, Nope…there’s three, oh no seven! Holy Moly, these mice need to see mousy heaven!!!
So out with the traps and the arsenic too…. I bought D-Con and stickies To catch twenty two?
Under the stove and behind my new fridge.. They’re in cupboards and spaces…. Inside the door hinge….
Where do they come from I want to know… Why do they come in to bother me sooooooooo???!!!
Well….9 dead in the traps, and now in my trash, Two flushed down the sewer For the system to hash…
I’m sick and I’m wobbly as I see beedy eyes Staring back under the stove This will be my demise…..
There are 20, no 40, no 80 me thinks…. This whole brand new house, stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks!!!!
I’m sure I’m at war. I’ll win wait and see….. You rodents…watch out Ouch…..did one just bite me????????????
- Sue Crawford - Thank you new customer Sue, and thanks to Jill for referring you’re friend.

New Preventive Pest Control Company LogoTuesday, October 27th, 2009Since Preventive Pest Control Company’s inception in 1997 we’ve gone through a few different logos. We first started with this turquoise logo. It may be considered a little bright now, but it was pretty happenin in the late 90′s. With this logo we also saw the first appearance of the Preventive Pest Control black widow spider.  Original Turquoise Pest Control Logo A few years ago we decided to change the coloring on the logo a bit to this forest green.  Logo With Green Lettering We liked the change but at long last have decided that the logo needed a more modern feel. We are pleased to announce this new and improved Preventive Pest Control logo. It is our hope that this newer logo will appeal to a wider audience. And yes…we kept the black widow spider!  New And Improved Preventive Pest Control Logo Some Fun Pest Facts and TidbitsFriday, October 16th, 2009We thought it would be fun to put together a brief slideshow on fun facts and tidbits about some of the most common pests we run across in our pest control visits.
Sit back and enjoy the interesting pest facts, and as always, let us know if we can assist you in getting rid of your pesky pests! President Obama supports pest controlMonday, June 22nd, 2009Watch President Barack Obama’s lightning-fast reflexes as he swats that fly during a CNBC interview: As soon as the interview was over he called Preventive Pest Control to set up service for the White House. OK…so that isn’t really true, but it is great to see our fearless leader supporting pest control. As the summer continues on it is important to realize that certain pests – flies, stinging insects, and ants – are more than just a nuisance but can pose serious health risks to your family. Whether trying to prevent pests from interrupting a news interview or interrupting a summer BBQ in your backyard, call Preventive Pest Control today and let us handle the dirty work. How to get rid of scorpions in and around your homeThursday, April 30th, 2009Scorpions and the Sonoran Desert go hand in hand. Phoenix is home to more than 40 different species of scorpions but only one is considered to be dangerous to humans. Most scorpion stings will have the same effects as a bee sting. Itching, burning, and redness around the immediate area are common, however the sting of the bark scorpion is more serious. The sting of the bark scorpion is usually very painful at the site of the sting. It can cause difficulty breathing, foaming at the mouth, muscle twitching and even convulsions. Children and the elderly are more susceptible to complications from scorpion stings but no deaths have been reported from scorpion stings in decades. Most people that have lived in Arizona for any amount of time have seen one of these pests. They are scary looking creatures that invoke fear in people’s heart. They call their pest control company only to be told that scorpions cannot be killed. This just is not true. There are quite a few products that are actually labeled to kill scorpions. The great thing is these products are still environmentally friendly. You don’t have to endanger your family to get rid of scorpions. A trained pest management professional can inspect your home and recommend a treatment program to get rid of your scorpion problem completely. It will not be overnight but it can be done. Preventive Pest Control uses multiple products that can get rid of your scorpion problem. We actually guarantee it. Scorpions are probably the most common pest people complain about when they call Preventive Pest Control. On top of a good maintenance program there are plenty of things that can be done to help prevent scorpions in our yards. Scorpions do not actually nest like other pests do. They wander around at night looking for food, water, and shelter. If they find a place that they like, they stay. If one scorpion likes your yard, chances are others will as well. That is why some houses have such a problem with scorpions. That means if we make our yard less appealing to scorpions it will help keep them from staying on our property. Eliminating food sources helps a lot to get scorpions to move on. A regular pest treatment to eliminate crickets and roaches gets rid of the food sources. Eliminate any excess water. Broken sprinklers or pipes and over watering give scorpions the water they need to survive the harsh desert. Scorpions love piles of debris including wood, rocks, leaves, bricks, or garbage. It offers them plenty of hiding places to get away from predators. Cleaning these up eliminate the amount of places they can hide. It is impossible to eliminate all food, water, and shelter for scorpions. Doing what we can in the yard along with using a good maintenance program will make it possible to live without fear of scorpions. |
