What are the clues of gulf coast ticks?
Gulf coast ticks have dark bodies with white spots, often tracked in on damp clothes from humid areas, hiding in washers or baskets and biting for blood, risking ehrlichiosis in utility spaces. Ticks in loads or coastal-patterned bites indicate them. Prize Pest Control sorts laundry for checks and applies heat treatments to kill stages, using dryer sheets as repellents. We advise separate hampers and immediate dries, ensuring your washing zones stay tick-free and efficient.
How do I manage hispid cotton rats nesting in home walls?
Hispid cotton rats have spiky fur and seek dark voids for litters, chewing drywall and leaving prickly hairs or droppings that irritate allergies in interior walls. Spiky remnants or wall scratches are signals. At Prize Pest Control, we probe voids for removal and patch with rodent-resistant materials, baiting externally. Our insulation upgrades and void fillers keep these spiky squatters out, protecting your walls' soundness.

What solutions are available for almond moths emerging from nut stashes in pantries?
Almond moths have grayish wings, larvae infesting nuts or seeds with frass and silk, ruining snacks and attracting more in storage drawers. Frass in bags or evening flights confirm activity. Prize Pest Control inspects stashes and vacuums thoroughly, introducing nut-safe traps. We recommend frozen storage and nut rotations, maintaining your snack drawers moth-free and appetizing.
How can homeowners prevent rodents burrowing?
Marmots dig large dens under attached decks, destabilizing supports and entering basements via tunnels, with whistles echoing in close quarters. Burrow openings or whistles near decks warn of them.
At Prize Pest Control, we collapse tunnels humanely and reinforce with buried fencing, using sound deterrents. Our deck skirting and habitat clears ensure no marmot burrows compromise your attached outdoor extensions.

DIY Bed Bug Solutions: What Works and What Doesn't
Effective DIY: Washing and drying infested linens on high heat kills bugs and eggs. Vacuuming daily with a HEPA filter bag captures live pests, dispose of the bag outside immediately.
What doesn't work: Essential oils like tea tree may repel but won't eliminate infestations. Bug bombs spread chemicals without targeting hidden bugs, often making things worse. Rubbing alcohol kills on contact but misses eggs.
While DIY can help contain, it's no substitute for pros. Prize Pest Control advises combining home efforts with our expert services for total eradication. If DIY isn't cutting it, let our team handle the heavy lifting.
