Why do I have a pest problem in my new construction home?
New construction disturbs the existing landscape, exposes soil, and creates conditions that attract pests. The building process also leaves gaps and entry points that insects and rodents find before you do.
No-see-ums are tiny biting midges, so small they're hard to spot, but their bite packs a surprising, itchy punch. They breed in moist soil and around water edges.
The active ingredients used in conventional mosquito treatment can affect bees on direct contact. This is why responsible technicians keep the product off flowers that bees visit and time visits around when bees forage.
