Why Are Bugs Worse After Pest Control?
Posted by Mosquito SquadApril 9, 2024
Noticing an influx of bugs after your pest control in Fort Worth TX?
After pest control treatments, it's not uncommon to notice an uptick in bug activity. While this might seem counterintuitive at first glance, there are a few reasons why bugs appear worse after pest control. If you have had a Fort Worth pest control service, and worry that it is having the opposite effect it is supposed to produce, we recommend giving your treatment time to work.
Pest Control in Fort Worth Might Cause a Stir in The Short Term
One reason your Fort Worth pest control service might send bugs scurrying all over your property, is that the treatment has disrupted their hiding places. The treatment can send them quickly seeking shelter elsewhere.
Pests might also be led by their strong survival instincts to escape the immediate threat. They might become active trying to leave the area where pesticide has been applied and find new food sources and breeding spots.
Some pest control treatments, such as Mosquito Squad’s natural mosquito treatment, are odiferous to pests. These natural treatments work to repel bugs through their sense of smell. It might seem like the number of bugs has increased, but you’re only seeing more bugs because they’re all coming out at once.
Bugs and pests can also become disoriented through the residual effects of pest control. Mosquito Squad’s traditional mosquito control formula works about three weeks between treatments. Our micro-encapsulated formula time-releases pesticide long after the treatment is applied.
Some pest control methods, such as baits, attract bugs and pests. In the beginning, you will see bugs going to the bait. But don’t worry! They are coming to the baits and brining the pesticide back to their hiding places, where they help the pest control get to work on their colonies.
