Missouri is an interesting state due to its diversity. It’s easy to find a ton of rural land throughout Missouri. On the other hand, there are some urban areas, as well. That means there’s different types of pests to deal with.
Most people don’t pay attention to differences in country
vs. city pests because they’re used to one or the other. However, it’s super
useful to acknowledge these differences for a few reasons. It’s crucial to
decipher between the two when relaying this information to your local
pest control company near mid-Missouri. It’s also important because
different creatures require different treatments and ways to prevent them.
We at, A
B Pest Control, want to outline the differences of country and city pests
for your future reference.
Country Pests
When you think about the concrete jungle, AKA the city, you
don’t picture mosquitoes, ticks, and snakes. That’s because those types of
critters need a certain type of ecosystem to exist.
For one, usually where wild animals wander is where we tend
to find ticks and other animal-related insects. Whereas mosquitoes are drawn to
bodies of water. That means wherever there’s a lake or pond, we tend to get
more mosquitoes swarming.
City Pests
While it’s nice to live in an urban area, you’re not
completely exempt from critters. Living in the city, you’ll see pests that are
able to adapt to their surroundings to survive. Because of their adaptability,
you’ll see pests, such as, cockroaches, termites, and bed bugs. Since cockroaches
and bed bugs tend to find urban shelter, you’ll normally see these two types of
bugs multiply quickly once they’ve found a good place to rest.
Termites reside deep underground and will eat away at
building foundations because a good portion of their diet is building
materials, such as wood, carpet, sheetrock, etc.
While there are many different types of pests that pop up in
different settings, it’s good to get familiar with the critters in the area you
reside. While country and city pests are different, suburban areas tend to get
a mix of the two, as well.
With that being said, A
B Pest Control is happy to serve you and your family. Whether you’re in the
city or country, we hope you stay pest-free this fall.
