Miami Bed Bugs Outbreak!!! Choose your Exterminator Wisely. 3 Tips to Choose Your Miami Pest Control Expert


Bedbugs are a small, nasty little parasitic insect which feeds of the blood of humans and their pets. They operate solely at night, like a minuscule ninja that feeds unnoticed until the host awakes in the morning with raised bumps or welts. Some can go over a year without feeding, which is why expert treatment is required. When selecting your Miami bed bug exterminator use the below list to qualify them.  

1.    Do they offer a free consultation?
As a vendor they should want your business and work hard to get it. A qualified and experienced Miami pest control expert will be happy to come on site and review your problem. Bed bugs are a unique pest, and there is no one-size-fits-all model to treat them. A trusted exterminator will not shoehorn you into a generic treatment plan, but rather work to resolve your issue and your concern, allowing your family to get the peaceful night’s sleep they deserve.

2.    Do they have experience? References?
Don’t be a test case. Your Miami pest control specialist should have the knowledge, expertise, and experience needed to treat your bed bug issue. A customer friendly exterminator should have ongoing clients who are happy to recommend them. Don’t be shy, ask to speak to their repeat customers.    

3.    Do they care?
This is the most important one. Choose a vendor that is genuinely concerned about your pest problem. Here I look for small and medium size businesses that want to see your issue resolved in a timely and professional matter. Often big vendors such as Orkin or Terminix simply don’t have the time to give the attention needed. 

I would encourage anyone in Miami with a bedbug or other insect/pest issue to contact Palmer Pest Management immediately. They can be reached at 305-370-4653. Tell them the bug blog sent you for 5% off your final invoice.

Billy the Exterminator: Arrested for Roach Infestation

First published by TMZ, it is reported that super exterminator Ricky Lee Bretherton, better known as "Billy the Exterminator" was busted for felony drug possession this weekend in his native Louisiana. According to a statement by the Leesville PD after a routine traffic stop they located a "quantity of suspected marijuana as well as a container that had more suspected marijuana as well as drug paraphernalia." Bond was set at $4,198 and the A&E star was released on his own recognizance. It seems all the roaches went to his head.



While bugs in Lousiana may be getting the day off thanks to the absence of Billy, rest assured that your local Miami pest control experts are on the job. Dwayne Palmer, local Miami exterminator, mentioned "being in the middle of Spring and with warm weather approaching we are seeing an increase in our call volume. It's still not too late for preventative action. Cutting off the problem before a full blown infestation is the most effective, and affordable, method of dealing with pests." He went on to give an informative run-down of the types of pests we have here in Miami-Dade and how to prevent them from infesting your home.
