Do you remember elementary school days when the physical education teacher would announce a kickball game? The first thing she did was select you and another classmate as team captains. Next, she had your classmates line up so you and the other captain could make your selections. What was the basis for your choice? Athletic reputation. You and the competing captain would choose the best players for your team. Why? Because the more top-quality kickball players, the better the odds of winning. 

We all have a reputation for something. People are known for athletic ability, musical prowess, or mathematical abilities. Just as individuals gain standing among peers, businesses have reputations in the community. As a business owner, you know the value of a reputation and how long it takes to develop a positive prestige in the community.

The Many Pests That Can Invade Your Business

As a business owner, you understand that before you can tackle a problem, you must first identify the issue. So, this is a list of pests that are a problem for many businesses in our area:

We will briefly examine each pest to help you understand the steps you can take when making a commercial pest control decision. Fort Worth's unique climate, with hot summers and mild winters, creates an ideal breeding ground for many of these pests, increasing the demand for robust and adaptable pest control solutions. The first four pests on our list—ants, cockroaches, stinging insects, and termites—are insects. These pests have six legs, two antennae, compound eyes, a three-part body consisting of a head, thorax, and abdomen, and an exterior skeleton; they may or may not have wings. 

Ants range in size from 1/16 to 5/8 inches, and many have dark bodies, but a few have a lighter color. These pests typically live outside business structures in landscaping mulch, grassy areas, and pavement cracks. Once they enter a business, most species gravitate to areas around leaky pipes, fixtures, drains, or humid parts of the building.

Of the 4,000 cockroach species worldwide, about 70 call America home. German, American, oriental, and brown-banded cockroaches invade businesses in our area. German cockroaches are the smallest of the group (1/2 to 5/8 inches), while American cockroaches are the largest (1 1/4 to 2 1/8 inches). Like most ants, German, American, and oriental cockroaches live in moist areas in the building behind cabinets, appliances, and cracks. Brown-banded cockroaches do not require a humid environment and live along the ceiling on top of the cabinetry and ceiling corners. 

Stinging insects include bees, wasps, and various subspecies like hornets and yellow jackets. These flying insects create nests under eaves, trees, shrubs, and the ground, which a client may accidentally disturb when entering your facility. These insects become more of an issue in late summer and early fall when their nests reach capacity, and they become easily agitated due to overcrowding. 

Although many of our clients with commercial pest control services operate out of steel and metal structures, other customers use historic homes and other wooden structures to conduct business in the community. For those who use wood structures, termites can be a problem. Termites are about the same size as many ants (1/8 inch) but do not have a narrow waist or clubbed antennae; they also have a creamy white to dark brown or black body. Although a termite colony consists of a queen, soldiers, workers, and winged reproductive termites, you will see either the flying reproducing termites in the early spring or worker termites.

Spiders are not insects but are arachnids. Instead of the six legs of an insect, they have eight legs. They do not have antennae or wings, and their body has only two segments. Most spiders build webs to snare prey, but several other Texas spiders hunt down prey. Like cockroaches, spiders are active at night.

Rats and mice are rodents. Rats infest the lower levels of a building (Norway rats) or invade the upper areas (roof rats), while mice tend to be on lower levels. Both rodents have a grey or brown furry topside interlaced with black hairs and a light-colored belly. Rats and mice have long tails, but rat tails are scaly and thinner. Rats are about 16 inches long, while mice are approximately nine inches long. These pests are notorious for their ability to squeeze through small gaps, making it essential to seal all potential entry points.
