Boo’s Bug Stoppers is out to get your flying insects
Many of our customers have asked us for some information on the different types of flying insects that we treat. These range from flies to bees to Cicada’s and Stink Bugs. There is no one size fits all treatment for these insects and the information below will link you to the area on our website that speaks to the specific treatment that we use.
DRAIN FLIES FLYING INSECTS
Drain flies are often confused with fruit flies. When observed closely, however, drain flies are dark gray to black in color, and when perched on the wall their body and wings are triangular in shape. They can infest a home any time of year. As the name indicates, these flies originate from drains in the home or business. When plumbing works properly, drain flies are typically not a problem. However when drains are clogged, or plumbing is slow or stagnant, drain fly larvae will work their way up the plumbing system, eating at the organic matter lining the drains. Once the adult flies hatch, they will typically stay in close proximity to the drain they came from (often perching on a wall close to a drain). They will breed and return to the gunky organic buildup in the drain to lay their eggs.

STINK BUGS FLYING INSECTS
Stink bugs typically spend the warm weather months (spring, summer) outdoors on tree foliage. It’s in late September and early October that stinkbugs become a problem in our homes and businesses. At this time of year, stinkbugs will start looking for a place to spend the winter. Naturally, they are drawn to the warmth of structures for an over-wintering destination. Once stinkbugs have crawled into the cracks and crevices around eaves, doors, windows, and siding, they simply want to go dormant for the wintertime so they can reemerge in the spring. However, because our home or office stays warm all winter long, stink bugs can remain active and continue to be a nuisance. Stink bugs may find their way into the home through cracks and crevices around trim, windows, wood paneling, or recessed lighting. They won’t leave until the trees put out their new leaves again in the spring.
HONEY BEES
As of 2014, Boo’s Bug Stoppers now raises its own honey bees. If a homeowner or business owner comes across a honey bee swarm, Boo’s Bug Stoppers, LLC can remove and relocate the swarm without harming the bees. Boo’s Bug Stoppers works with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture to safely remove and save honeybee nests in any situation possible. We are happy to remove honey bee swarms from customer locations and safely give them a new home where they can continue to benefit our environment and local farms.
