Part 2 of Sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite

Increase in Nasty Bed Bugs Seen

ATLANTA - They are nasty little critters and they only come out at night but bed bugs are showing up in almost epidemic proportions and they aren't just showing up in beds -- they seem to be almost everywhere.

But you can protect yourself if you take the necessary precautions and you know what to look for.

Jason Stepowski, his son and his pregnant wife have all been viciously attacked by the critters. Experts say they don't carry disease but the numerous bites can be very painful.

And they are just in your bed anymore. From movie theatres like one in Times Square, the bed bugs are traveling at an alarming rate - even in high end stores and hotels. The nasty little critters prefer to catch a ride by jumping on you.

But you can protect yourself and it starts when you get off the plane...

"When you get back to your car you want to take your suitcase and wrap it in a thick heavy plastic bag," says Chuck Tindol.

Chuck Tindol is a pest control specialist with Allgood Pest Solutions . He says there are ways to protect yourself and keep the nasty bugs out of your bed and out of your home and it starts when you pull your bag out of your car and then head to the wash.

"You don't want to empty it inside your house because if you have bed bugs you are going bring them in your house," said Tindol.

Tindol says the next step is separating your clothes and heading to the laundry room.

"What will kill bed bugs is heat, so use the hot cycle," said Tindol.

And then we head to the bed room, so when traveling on business or pleasure learn how to check your beds. Dead bed bugs look no bigger than an apple seed but you can find them if you look carefully.

Tindol also says that next step is to encase your mattress in a protective covering that can be purchased where bedding is sold or from pest control specialists.

Tindol also adds that if you notice the bedbugs you need to call an expert immediately to eradicate the problem or they will continue to infest that area.

Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!

My Fox Atlanta's Mark Hayes reports on the growing epidemic and resurgence of bed bugs.
Chuck Tindol is on hand to inform on how to prevent bedbugs from getting into your home.

Pest Control Info on Earwigs

Earwigs get their name from the myth that they crawl into people’s ears and tunnel into the brain. This is of course not true. Common in the United States (22 types), the earwig has over 1000 species throughout the world.

An earwig can grow to about one inch in length, but it is common to find smaller ones that have not fully grown to this size. They are long and narrow in shape and have a dark brown coloration. This insect has six legs, a pair of antennae and does not have fully developed wings. They are easily identified by the forceps-like pincers at the end of the abdomen. Although they look scary, they do not spread disease.

Earwigs feed on flowers, leaves, fruits and molds as well as other insects. They typically spend the day hidden under piles of debris such as compost, leaf litter and grass clippings or in decomposed areas of trees or wooden structures. They enter by crawling through cracks in the walls.

The best control methods for earwigs involve IPM techniques such as the removal of debris and vegetation from the surrounding area and the sealing of cracks and crevices to prevent entry.

Pest Control and Prevention

Allgood Pest Solutions professionals utilize extensive pest control training and pest elimination expertise to insure that effective service procedures are followed to remove pest populations and prevent pests from returning. We start by conducting a thorough inspection of your home, noting all signs of pest activity, and locating potential points of pest entry or breeding sites. We then utilize a combination of non-pesticide techniques and pesticide applications for the best pest service to your home. (This includes preventive maintenance reports to assist you in blocking access points or removing potential harborages.)

We carefully place baits, liquids, dusts, traps or granular products to create barriers around and throughout critical areas to kill existing pests and repel those that may attempt to enter from outdoors. A thorough exterior treatment prevents many pest problems inside your home.

At Allgood Pest Solutions, we understand the importance of good environmental responsibility and take all necessary precautions to protect your family and your property from being harmed.

Tell Those Mosquitoes to Buzz Off!

It happens to all of us. You’re sitting outside, enjoying a lazy summer evening, when a familiar high-pitched noise assaults your ear. Almost simultaneously you feel a sting, which prompts an “ouch” and a quick slap in the offender’s general direction. They’re back and they’re determined to drive you inside.

Mosquitoes are pesky little insects than can wreak havoc on any outside plans. Not only can they transmit West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, Malaria and Dengue Fever but they also transmit heartworms to dogs and cats. Plus, they’re just downright annoying.

So what can you do to make your yard a no-mosquito zone? First, call your Allgood representative. He’ll inspect your home and yard and prepare a customized plan, including applying larvacide to noted breeding sites and adulticide to harborage areas. Throughout the summer, until mosquito season ends in October, your Allgood representative will visit every month to ensure your yard remains mosquito free.

Second, employ your own prevention methods. Use insect repellent that contains DEET and wear light, loose-fitting clothing. Also keep all doors (including garage doors) shut and check window and door screens to ensure they fit properly and don’t have holes. If you have standing water from birdbaths, wading pools, etc. replace the water at least once a week. Also clean roof gutters and downspouts regularly. Weekly lawn maintenance will also help cut the mosquito population – keep bushes and shrubs trimmed, the lawn mowed and eliminate any unneeded vegetation, weeds and brush.
For a FREE Mosquito evaluation at your home please call 1-800-ALLGOOD or contact us online @ http://www.allgoodpestsolutions.com/

Russell Tindol's interview from the Macon Cycling Classic

Hundreds of cyclists from across the southeast raced around Macon's Tattnall Square Park Saturday.
The event marked the city's first annual Macon Cycling Classic. The city hosted a similar event last June, but event organizers say they decided to move this year's race to the College Hill corridor.
Both beginner and professional cyclists raced in the all-day event that featured criterium races on a 0.7 mile course around the park.
Sixteen-year-old Russell Tindol traveled from Gwinnett County, Ga. for the event. The cyclist says he's been racing since he was nine years old. He won the juniors race for his age group on Saturday.
"It hurts but it's a fun, thrilling kind of thing," Tindol said. "It's really hard not to like the sport once you start doing it."
He says cycling builds character and mental toughness.
"It's all about team tactics and there's a lot of thinking that goes into it, along with just being able to hang on and push yourself as hard as you can," Tindol said.

Two years ago, Tindol battled a brain tumor. He says treatment kept him from racing competitively, but now he's cancer free and happy to back on the course. He says he hopes other young athletes give cycling a try.
"It'd be more fun to have more people to compete against and meet more people and race all around the U.S. if we could," Tindol said.
Bill Causey, who directs a Walthall-sponsored racing team and helped organize Saturday's event, says he hopes the cycling classic encourages more participation in the sport.
"Macon's a little behind as far as cycling as a sport," Causey said. "We don't have bike lanes around, we don't have biking facilities to speak of, but we're hoping to change all that."
He says the College Hill Alliance, Mercer University and other community groups are working together to increase events like Saturday's. He says future races, like Saturday's, will bring visitors and more spending to downtown Macon.
