It's approaching that time of year again when summer is just around the corner and quickly creeping up on us. We've had a slight taste already with warmer temperatures and the early appearance of annoying pesky creatures. Of note, rattlesnakes are waking up earlier than usual and we've received quite a few calls about their sightings in yards. Best advice from your old bug guy is to stay away from them and call the local fire department. They're equipped with the expertise and gizmos to handle those rascals.

I know this is old hat and can already sense your smile, but hang with me for a few moments here. Scorpions breed from early May through November. During that period the female will be fertilized only once and will have 4-5 deliveries with each yielding 9-10 baby scorpions. The result is that there will be a lot of scorpions that can ruin your day.

In order to maximize your family's protection against these nasty critters I strongly recommend implementing our Kill Zone™ process whether it's for first time or you've previously done so.

If you had the Kill Zone™ applied last year it has been reinforced each month through our maintenance service for maximum effectiveness. However, during the year time and weather take their toll on the initial perimeter base and to ensure continuing effective protection from scorpions a new Kill Zone™ should be applied and supplemented with monthly maintenance.

If you didn't take advantage of the Kill Zone™ last year, or are not familiar with it, you'll find a brief description below.

The Kill Zone™ is our unique process that provides maximum protection against scorpions. It was developed some years ago by blending the industry's most effective and environmentally safe products together, and we consistently enhancement it as and when more effective products become available.

The process is applied annually around the home's perimeter to establish a protective barrier against scorpions. Over time the barrier gradually breaks down because of exposure to nature's elements thereby reducing its effectiveness. One part of our monthly service is to reinforce the barrier so its integrity is maintained and maximum protection is ensured. However, after about a year the initial base is pretty well shot and the process should be repeated in order to maintain™ the highest level of protection available.

This year we'll begin implementing the Kill Zone™ in early May. I suggest that you reserve a time slot soon as historically clients' want the process and we get booked early. Please call me at 480. 473.2264 with any questions about the process or to reserve your time slot.

Your business is appreciated and will never be taken for granted.
