Wow, I can't believe February is over and March is coming! This winter has flown by. Now is the time to get out into the yard. While you are cleaning up around the house and getting the yard ready for spring, it is a good time to check for termites or any other pest infestations. Here are some tips to help prevent unwanted visitors: Seal cracks and crevices around the house. Remove any wood to ground contact to prevent termites from entering the home. Trim tree limbs so they aren't touching the side of the house (when the limbs touch the house, that is an invitation to the insects to come in.) Keep the grass short and maintained around the slab of the home (this way you are able to see any signs of insect infestation) Keep the grade of the soil low enough around the home, so that you can see slab all the way around the home.
Now is the perfect time to start thinking about the health of your trees! They are starting to bloom and we want to make sure they have all the nutrients they need to thrive. We are now offering a tree fertilization and treatment service. The system that we are using is called the ArborSystem. It is a direct inject system, which means there is no drilling or spraying involved. This is healthier for the tree and the environment.

This time of year, we are all getting excited about the cold weather and are ready to start a fire in the fireplace. Warning: insects live in the wood outside. Remember to inspect the wood before you bring it into your home to make sure there are no ants, scorpions, termites, wood bores or any other insect in them. Also, we recommend stacking the firewood away from your home and not next to the foundation. This is conducive to termites. If you want to bring in a few pieces of wood for the fire, make sure to bring them in when you are ready to use them. As always, if you have any questions, or need any further information, call our office at 979-822-5524 .
Binford does Rodent Exclusions! If you are having any problems with rodents or are needing more information, call Binford today!! There are many health hazards that rodents can bring to your home, including but not limited to rabies, allergies, fleas, mites, ticks, lice and hantavirus. Bats, raccoons and skunks carry rabies, which is potentially fatal if left untreated. In fact, as many as 40,000 people each year in the United States are exposed to animals that might have rabies. Even the smallest amount of mouse/rat urine can cause allergies in children. Mice can also bring fleas, mites, ticks and lice into your home. Did you know that roof rats secured their place in history by spreading the highly dangerous bubonic plague? They support many ectoparasites and urinate on food. Another major danger that rodents can cause is fire. Rats can and have been known to chew through wiring. I know, having these rodents in your home sounds appealing, right? Wrong! Binford specializes in eliminating these rodents from your home or business and creating a safer environment for your family. We have been providing this service to the Bryan/College Station area for over 65 years! Who better to call than us!
Now that we are entering into the fall season and cooler weather is approaching, it is now time to protect your home from rodents and other insects and animals that will want to enter your home for shelter. We have removed all kinds of creatures from homes in the past. Mainly rats, squirrels, opossums, raccoons, and yes, snakes. Here are some tips for preventing them from coming into the home. Clean around the outside of your home. Remove any debris, trash, tall grass, and firewood away from the perimeter of the house. Make sure the flower beds and shrubs are trimmed and at least 1 foot from the exterior of the house. Seal any noticeable holes that you can see. Rodents can squeeze through the tiniest of holes, even the size of a nickel or dime. Caulk around the window, doors and other crevices of your home to keep away insects and rodents. This will also help with keeping your home to be more energy efficient. So you are doing two things at once! Doing these simple steps can help keeps your costs down in many ways and keep your home safer for the winter.
