How to Fight Pests, Mosquitos & Other Unwanted Visitors

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Rove Pest Control. All opinions are my own.

A couple weeks ago, I got an email from my friend Ryan at Rove Pest Control. After we chatted, I thought to myself, “I’m so glad that we don’t have to worry about pest control at our house.”

Ha.

Fast forward to the next day. I came home with little miss A after grocery shopping and went over to her side of the car to get her out of her car seat. Just then, a mouse scurried out from underneath my car and scampered to the other side of the garage! Naturally, I screamed, slammed her door shut and then stood there like someone had glued my shoes to the concrete. I’m sure if there was something to jump up on, I would have done that as well.

It made me instantly wonder if there was more than just the one mouse. *Shudder*

Apparently, we have to worry about pest control at our house.

Do you?

Well if you do (and even if you don’t), here are some things to consider:

• Do you have pets or children around? 
  • You’ll want someone who uses pet and child-friendly products in their process.
• Have you seen signs of pests around your home or garage? 
  • Ignoring the problem could create a bigger problem. Bringing in pest control can help you to maintain the value of your home and prevent having larger issues in the future.

That all brings me back to Rove Pest Control. They only use child and pet friendly products in their process. And with their company, they only have locations right here in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area (Minnesota) so you get the service and attention that the big pest control companies can’t offer you. That’s enough to sell me!

What does ‘Pest Control’ include?

I think the first thing that people think of when they hear pest control is mice. But it’s more than that, it covers bed bugs, mosquitos, termites, trees/shrubs, and other wildlife. With the ongoing joke that the mosquito is the Minnesota state bird, I think it’s important to understand that you actually can control mosquitos with pest control! How nice would it be to actually enjoy the outdoors this summer without worrying about the mosquitos?

Some of the most common household pests include:

Ants – Black Widow Spiders – Box Elder Bugs – Centipedes – Crickets
Bed Bugs – Earwigs – Fleas – Millipedes- Moles – Mice – Voles – Rats
Roaches- Silverfish – Ticks – Wasps – Termites

Yuck. Have I ever mentioned how much I absolutely hate bugs and small rodents?

Eeee… yuck, yuck, yuck.

On Rove’s website, they have a Pest Prediction Tool that takes into account the month and the pest, and then lets you know if if it’s likely a problem near you or not. It’s kind of neat to see what you can expect!
