Bed Bugs

Download our bed bug prevention guide to keep your home free of infestation.

Many people think of bed bugs as no more than part of a cute bedtime saying: Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite! But they are quite real, and far from cute.

Bed bugs are small, brownish insects with flat, oval-shaped bodies. Young bed bugs can be no bigger than a pinhead, or even undetectable by the naked eye.

Bed Bugs feed solely on human blood. Their name comes from their tendency to live between mattresses and feed on bed occupants at night. Bed bugs don't fly, but move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings. Female bed bugs lay up to five eggs a day and 500 during a lifetime.

We offer bed bug prevention guidelines and a bed bug service preparation checklist for download.

May Declared National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month

May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), and Combat-brand pest control helped spread the message. As pest management professionals know, studies have shown that there is a link between cockroach allergen and the exacerbation and even causation of asthma.

The link between cockroaches and asthma has been proven in scientific research dating back to the 1970s. Between 78 and 98 percent of urban homes have cockroaches, and 23 to 60 percent of urban residents are allergic to the cockroach allergen, according to the AAFA. Cockroach allergens are is so pervasive in homes around the country, most doctors require patients with persistent asthma to be tested for cockroach allergies, in addition to other environmental factors, such as dust mites, mold and pets.

Modern Pest Homecare Tick Protection : Dog Tick

If you’ve lived in New England long you’ve probably noticed a dramatic increase in three tick species over the past few years; the American dog tick, brown dog tick, and the black-legged or “Deer” tick. These Hard Bodied ticks are the most prevalent ticks in New England and are important to us because they bite people and pets. Many also carry diseases and the black-legged “deer” tick is important because it is the vector of Lyme disease.

Modern’s Tick Protection program centers on reducing the number of ticks in and around your home and yard. We use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices to first identify and then treat areas ticks live and breed.

Pest of the Month

Carpenter Ants: Carpenter ants do not actually feed on the wood. They feed actively from sunset until the early morning hours on most human foods, particularly sweets and other insects.These ants are social insects that prefer nesting in wood. They commonly hollow out galleries or tunnels in trees, structures, wood, and foam insulation. Carpenter ants are often found in conjunction with moisture problems. An indication of possible infestation is evidence of sawdust, pieces of insulation, nesting materials, and winged adults, known as swarmers. In protecting your home against carpenter ants, Modern takes into account the biology of this pest and that is why we try to get people on a seasonal visit program. This allows us to get to your home before the wood destroying ants do each year. Carpenter ants have main colonies and sub (satellite) colonies. The main colony takes about five years to mature and is most often found in the woods. Once mature, a main colony will continually be setting up sub colonies. Homes are ideal for them since there are reliable water sources there (we often find the colonies around window or door frames or in the kitchen or bathroom). The seasonal visit program does guarantee you protection from these continual, wood destroying invaders throughout the spring and summer.
