Pest problems, like spiders and ants, cause more damage to
property and real estate in the United States; than fires and storms
combined. Varying weather, and other climatic factors throughout the
United States, create pockets of specialized problems and concerns; for
local residents and guests. In the State of Nevada, exterminators battle
highly aggressive invaders; like the Red Imported Fire Ant and Black
Widow spider. These tiny soldiers bite and inflict painful skin welts
and even cause death; with their powerful toxin.
The Red Imported Ant has spread from Alabama to almost every U.S. State in the American South; from Texas to Maryland. Their mound-building activity has damaged plant roots, lead to crop loss, and interfered with mechanical cultivation. It is not uncommon for Fire Ant mounds to appear suddenly in a rural/suburban yard or field. The Red Imported Fire Ant's sting is rarely life-threatening to humans, however 80 deaths have been documented; as of 2006. Moreover, one Queen Imported Fire Ant can produce (up to) 1,600 new ant eggs each day; creating major pest control concerns for Nevada residents.
Unwanted spider-invaders, include the Black Widow spider, Nevada Orb spider, Jumping spider, and Wolf spider. The female Black Widow spider's bite is particularly harmful to humans (males almost never bite humans), and the toxic venom injection from these attackers; can be lethal. It is said that Black Widow spiders will avoid human dwellings, but are more common in out-houses and garages.
As you can well imagine, a spider infestation is not easily corrected. As such, local pest control strategies employ technology and solutions; that were developed in Universities across the United States. An educated and focused strategy is strongly recommended, and is seen as a Nevada homeowner's best recourse.
