Termites are the problem you never see coming. By the time you've found them it's often too late. As the weather warms up, swarming termites become a serious problem. Swarming termites are a group of termites looking to become a new colony. Don't let your home become their base camp this...

Rodents, just like people, prefer the warmth of indoors in the winter.
And who could blame them? That said, nobody wants to share their home with mice or rats. Not only are they potential disease carriers and nuisances, but they can do serious structural damage to insulation, electrical wiring,...

This holiday season, we wish all of our customers the merriest of Christmases. The merriest of pest-free Christmases, of course.

November means a lot of things: Fall, football, the deer woods. But the 11th month of the year will forever be associated, primarily, with Thanksgiving.
As our national day of reflection approaches, we give thanks to our customers, our family and our friends.

Bumps in the night go hand-in-hand — claw-in-claw, perhaps — with Halloween, just around the corner.
Our minds typically turn to ghosts and goblins this time of year, and our imaginations go into overdrive. But as much fun as Halloween is, those bumps, creaks and "moans"...

By late summer, Mother Nature seems to be at her peak. Like a teenager in need of a haircut, green encroaches everywhere the eye can see, especially in Arkansas — along the side of the road, in gardens, through the cracks of driveways and sidewalks.
Unfortunately, this is peak time for pests...

Roaches…It's fair to say that roaches are one pest for which not even the most enthusiastic "insectophobe" could generate much positive PR.
There's just really not much positive one can say about them. They carry disease; they invade our homes to munch on food, boxes and...

Patience. Discipline. Control of our faculties. We humans like to lay claim to each of these "virtues." Mosquitoes, however, are God's summer reminder that we're not in control. The "skeeters" may not be as bad this year in many parts of Arkansas thanks to a cold winter,...

Pests earn their name all year, perhaps no more so than in the summer. Humans spend more time outside in the summer months and our exposure to the bugs, insects and critters that we consider pests is increased. Therefore, so is our exposure to the stings, bites and even diseases many of them carry....
Tuesday, April 15, 2014
Pests are considered pests for a reason, and in Arkansas, one of our most formidable pests is the fire ant.
Fire ants are territorial, aggressive, and pack one heck of a sting that can represent serious trouble to those who are allergic to their bites. But at least we don’t have crazy ants....

You may have missed, and we won’t blame you if you did, but April is National Pest Management Month.

Regardless of whether the groundhog saw his shadow this year (he did), it's time to start thinking about spring cleaning.
His return to comfortable quarters in Punxsutawney may have foreshadowed six more weeks of winter, but even so, spring is right around the corner and our spring-cleaning instincts...

Winter, it seems, is going to make its presence felt in Arkansas this year. Cold temperatures, even sub-freezing ones, will mean critters of all varieties seeking shelter from the cold.
And unfortunately, that includes pests. But that doesn’t mean you can't be prepared for them. Everything...

Seasonal pests usually are associated with stored foods, but the holidays can bring them out as well.
Whether Christmas goes up in your house the day after Thanksgiving or well into December, be on the lookout for those seasonal pests that like to hide in your holiday storage boxes.

While you're checking the outside of your home for potential pest entry points, it might be a good idea to check your pipes as well.
Freezing pipes can lead to pipes that burst, and that's a problem no home owner wants to deal with. Here in the South, it's not as big a concern as it is...

Simply put, ticks are a part of summer in Arkansas. Like watermelon seeds, they simply are a factor to be dealt with. That doesn’t mean you can’t be smart about how you deal with them, or even take steps to avoid them. Of course, Legacy's organic outdoor treatment can help make your...

If you've got pets, then you've probably encountered fleas in your home. The parasitic pests may start off by hopping a ride on your dog or cat, but they're perfectly content to settle for human blood, too. And they'll go after any warm body within reach. Here are a five tips to help...

Bed bugs are making a comeback. Across the U.S., beg bug infestations are on the rise.
While bed bug populations were greatly reduced in the U.S. by the mid-20th century, experts think the recent up-tick in bed bug activity is due to several factors. According to the Arkansas Department of Health,...

Summer time is many things in Arkansas. Play time, swim time, grill time. Unfortunately, it's also bug time.

Mosquitoes have been around for millions of years. They are adaptable and resilient, and unfortunately, they aren't going anywhere.
The global range of mosquitoes excludes only parts of interior Greenland and Antarctica, and as we all know, it definitely includes Arkansas. Nuisance factor notwithstanding,...

Ants.
In your yard, in your home, and in the case of toddlers, in your pants. We watch them build intricate underground societies on The Discovery Channel. We see them depicted in movies and cartoons as benevolent busybodies.

Spring fever. That annual rite of passage for winter-worn humans ready to embark on trips to various bodies of water, be they pools, lakes, or even oceans. After months of mostly gray, Arkansans are ready to get outside and feel the warmth of sunshine on their skin.

We are on the verge of winter, which means that those heaters will be cranked up in our households, drawing us in from the cold. Unfortunately, pesky little critters like to make room for their family and friends where the warmth is, which can infringe on overall comfort in the home.

Mild Arkansas winters equate to bug-filled Arkansas summers. Unfortunately for Arkansans, we're in the process of concluding one of the mildest winters in years.

"Rats!"
Charlie Brown made the innocuous "expletive" something of a cultural icon back before TVs had flat screens and kids weren't all grown up by the age of 9.
Once upon a time, "Rats!" was a slang word of choice, dare we say, a lightly salted "cuss"...

Fleas occupy the same social strata as telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen: Unwelcome visitors.
So, fleas as permanent guests in your home? Whether you're two- or four-legged, that's just not an option. Fleas, indeed, keep us humble. They seem to exist everywhere, seemingly are impervious...

A: Signs of termites can be seen during swarm season. Clouds of flying termites can build both indoors and outdoors, and you may even spot small piles of papery wings they have left behind in your home. However, you shouldn’t count on seeing any of these things, so it is important to get an annual...

A: No. In fact, not only will the cold winter weather not kill off termites, the chill actually makes your home even more of a target, as termites will be eager to seek out the warmth.

A: Termites can be a problem at almost any time throughout the year, but they are most active during “swarm season,” which usually peeks in Arkansas around April or May. Be especially mindful if you are buying, building or remodeling a house. The most important thing is to always be on...

When a home has a very severe termite infestation a noise can sometimes be heard that is better described as “sizzling bacon” than as “rustling’. This is caused when the soldiers of the colony click their mandibles. Most active termite infestations inside walls remain undetected...
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Expert Answer: No. Even if active termites had been feeding on cellulose from the boxes, removing them from contact with the subterranean colony will put them in an environment where the odds of their survival is virtually nil.
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Expert Answer: While the wood will not “attract” termites, it will create a condition that is conducive for termites by providing a food source that they can easily find during the foraging process. Being close to the house offers a greater possibility that termites will start feeding on...
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Expert Answer: After a thorough inspection a professional Legacy technician will choose an effective treatment method. This will usually involve a combination of baiting and trapping, and while these methods are usually successful follow ups will generally be required. Pests such as rats usually enter...
