General Pest Control
Statista projects the global insecticide market value in 2022 will reach a whopping $19.3 billion because pest control is such a necessity, so if you are a homeowner in the St. Louis, Missouri area and you think you may have unwelcome pests in your space or are looking to prevent them, Cardinal Insect & Pest Solutions can help. Founded by an extremely experienced former Environmental Health and Safety Manager, the pest control company is well-versed in the various types of pests and the dangers and nuances they can bring to you and your family.
Missouri, is home to many types of critters that can be poisonous, harmful to your home, rare, and just creepy in general such as Luna Moths. Many species of pests intrude on human living spaces to seek warmth, shelter, and food, which can involve them slipping through tears in screens, foundation cracks, plumbing, and other structural irregularities. They come into homes at all times of the year, especially the winter when they need to find a hiding place, and many emerge in warmer times to seek light and nourishment.
Many pests have very few limitations when it comes to their diet; in fact, many will eat cardboard, paper, skin cells, carpet, fruits, dry food, and more. Missouri is also home to silverfish, which are sneaky, gray-toned nocturnal critters that would love to make the carbohydrates in your pantry (e.g. pasta) their home while also eating random things like glue. Fleas, of course, can use your pets as hosts and feed off of their blood, but they can also select you as their host if a pet is not available. Earwigs love light, so they may set up shop on your porch or patio and hide under outdoor cushions or chairs overnight, surprising you in the morning.
Pests not only eat and defecate throughout your space, but they also breed and therefore multiply, increasing the risk for more home damage as well as potential illnesses. Pests and rodents have the ability to spread numerous kinds of infectious agents to humans including Yellow Fever, Lyme disease, plague, asthma, malaria, and more. Even common house flies can cause conditions such as typhoid and cholera. Millipedes don’t transmit disease, but they can emit a very foul smell from their glands that can permeate throughout your home. Some species are capable of emitting a secretion when threatened that can cause a skin irritation.
To combat pests and rodents, Cardinal Insect & Pest Solutions uses a unique Max Control Program that works to both reduce existing pests and deter them from coming back for months. Both eco-friendly and traditional pest control methods are available, and a thorough inspection will identify and treat problem areas in your home.
