Powder Post Beetles Found Ruining Structural Integrity of Homes

Westside Pest Control technician Mike Londry recently inspected a home for issues with a wood boring insect. Upon close inspection, the beetles had been slowly compromising the structural integrity of the home for many decades.

In this case, major renovation work will be required to treat the powder posts beetles. Not great news for the home owner but better than a collapsing floor.

Powder post beetles can often be mistaken for termites or carpenter ants. Fine sawdust and/or holes in wood frames such as doorways are often a first clue. If you suspect you have an infestation, contact us and we would be happy to provide a free estimate.

Frank Gilmore Talks About Food Scrap Ban Deterring Rats on News 1130

Vancouver’s food scrap ban should deter rats: expert

Rodents will have a hard time accessing compost bins with lids

METRO VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – New rules requiring you to separate your compost from your garbage should decrease in the number of rodents in your yard according to Mike Londry with Frank Pest Control Perth.

He says as long as food scrap bins are contained, the new system will be a big improvement when it comes to keeping rats away. “A lot of people in their backyard are actually using regular composts because they want to do the right thing and compost a lot of their organic waste but with bins they are going to be picked up on a weekly basis and they have lids.”

Frank Pest Control Perth on Global News

The Summer of 2013 was a record for wasps in many parts of BC, but wasp numbers are expected to be even higher this year thanks to a hot and dry Spring. Global News covered the story on June 9, 2014 with Frank Gilmore from Frank Pest Control Perth.

“Having that awesome season last year means that we’re probably going to have a really bad, or good, for the wasp season this year,” said Frank Gilmore from Frank Pest Control Perth.

“During dry weather you’re just going to see the nest go from to a golf ball or a baseball over a day and then to a volleyball over a long weekend. So you’ll want to just be aware that when you’re barbecuing and hanging out with your glass of wine on the back deck that you might have some visitors.”
