Controlling Pests at your Business.

When it comes to business the very sight of a pest infestation by a customer could spell doom for the future of your enterprise.  A bug or a rodent in a restaurant is damaging to YOUR future as an entrepreneur!  You must be sure that you are pest-free 24/7 365.  That means hiring a professional that will keep away those unwanted creatures even when the snow flies.

Perhaps some area business owners think that with Winter weather comes hibernation for all pests.  They may believe that keeping unwanted guests away in cold weather is the something that needs no attention paid to it.  As you make your business plan for 2018 include year-round pest control.

In Quincy and Hannibal as well as the surrounding area that choice is easy.  Call on the professional commercial pest-control team at Double G Pest and Lawn.  For more than two decades Double G has served the residents of Great River Country with expert service 12 months a year.  Give Greg a call today at (217) 440-2847. 
 

Controlling Pests Year Around.

Getting rid of creepy, crawly things is important…keeping them away once and for all is much better!  If you had any type of pest problem in your Western Illinois or Northeast Missouri business this year you know what we are talking about.  Keeping bugs and rodents out of your store or restaurant is an absolute must.

As 2017 comes slowly to an end in Great River Country we should all think about keeping pests out of our business 24/7 365 days a year.  It is not only a health hazard, but it can literally put you out of business if you are not diligent!  Think about the future even if you were lucky enough not to have an infestation this year.

Why not call the professional exterminators at Double G Pest Control?  Greg and his team are there every day to protect your environment.  Double G Pest Control is Quincy and Hannibal’s commercial pest control professional.  It may be the difference between success and failure for your business!  Call Double G today to arrange year around control at (217) 440-2847.

The Final Rodent Invasion.

It has all the “trappings” (pun intended) of a horror movie.  When mice invade your home in the fall it IS your own personal horror story.  This is it!  If you live near a field in the Quincy/Hannibal area mid-October is when the mice who have lived comfortably over the last several months seek shelter in your home or business.

You can be proactive in a number of ways including –

1.  Close down the entry points

2.  Traps need the proper bait

3.  Place those traps strategically

4.  Keep your home as clean as possible

5.  Tackle the problem outside as well as inside

Of course, the real answer is Double G Pest Control.  Greg Goodwin and his team have seen this scenario every October for many years and know exactly what to do.  Safe, secure, and long-term elimination of rodents is the end-game.  Just like your favorite football team have a game-plan.  Call Great River Country’s mouse exterminating experts Double G Pest Control and Lawn Services at (217) 440-2847.

One Final Invasion.

This time of year, creepy, crawly, things try to make your home THEIR home before the snow flies.  Creatures such as roaches, spiders, bedbugs, and mice know instinctively that winter is coming to Great River Country and they want food and shelter.  Your castle is just the place to spend the next six months!

When you let your guard down they will invade.  Worst of all, you may think, well, I only saw a few of them and I killed them off so they are gone now.  Oh my, NO!  Where there are a few pests visible there are hundreds or even thousands lurking around or just inside your home…you just haven’t met them yet.

This is NOT the time of year to get complacent.  Any sign of infestation must be met with swiftly and permanently.  That is why residents of Quincy and Hannibal as well as the surrounding area have counted on Double G Pest Control for years.  Greg Goodwin and his team are this area’s bug extermination experts.  Call them today at (217) 440-2847.

I Don’t Like Spiders and Snakes.

Remember the old Jim Stafford song?  It put into pop culture what most of us are thinking.  We can watch them on television, but when spiders invade our home that means war!  They are in your home, in your car, and at your desk. During this time of year, it seems spiders are everywhere.  Enough already!  It is time to fight back.

Spiders do have a purpose in our ecological system.  They keep populations of insects in check like cockroaches, silverfish and mites. Without spiders, another critter would have to do that job.  That does not mean that they belong in your castle.  Remember this basic premise…no crumbs, no pet food left lying out; in other words, no nutrition for household insects.

In the Quincy and Hannibal area, spiders can be eradicated quickly and simply.  It takes a phone call to Double G Pest Control.  People of Great River Country have counted on Double G to remove spiders in their homes and offices for many years.  Even if you think they are cute, they need to go away.  Call Double G Pest Control for complete spider control at (217) 440-2847.

Squeak Means EEEEEK!

It’s September and those dreaded mice will be eeking their way into your home and business.  You probably know someone who knows someone who classifies themselves as a “snowbird”.  Well, mice are the ultimate snowbirds.  Soon, mice will start looking for a place to spend the winter. And one of the places they may be looking at is your house.

There are dozens of ways that a flexible field mouse will find to take up residence in your castle.  The goal is to seal up everything possible, but that is a lofty task indeed.  Every building has a pipe that goes through a wall somewhere.  Most of the time, the space around the pipe is big enough for a mouse to get through.

This is a war that YOU, the homeowner must win!  Mice are nasty, dirty, unpleasant additions to your surroundings.  In the case of a business, they could be devastating.  At the first sight or sound you need to call Quincy and Hannibal mouse control expert Double G Pest Control.  Get in front of the problem before it becomes a nightmare by calling (217) 440-2847.

Time for a Bridge Feeding.

No, we are not going out to the river and throw food at the bridge leading to West Quincy!  In this case we are talking about your lawn - the same lawn that you have been trampling on all summer long.  As we approach fall it may be time for something known as a bridge feeding.

This is the fertilization of a lawn so that it gets through the change of seasons and comes out healthy on the other end.  Your lawn may have had its late-spring feeding to restore its carbohydrate reserves so it was able to get through the ups and downs of summer.  What have you done since then besides mow it?

When you have a professional at your disposal, you know exactly when and how much to fertilize your yard.  It starts with a visit to www.doublegpestandlawn.com.  You will discover a Great River pro at lawn maintenance and pest control.  The next step is to call Greg and have someone come out to give you an estimate on year-round lawn maintenance at (217) 440-2847.

Why so Angry?

Doesn’t it seem like hornets and wasps have an “attitude” this time of year.  They are aggressive and often dangerous creatures in the summer.  They ruin your picnic and other warm-weather outings.  They also seem to indiscriminately sting humans and pets without provocation all over the Quincy/Hannibal area.  What’s up with that?

Are you aware that hornets and wasps kill over 100 Americans a year and are no friend to your four-legged companions either?  Many of the hornet and yellow jacket species that sting us are social insects.  Because of that, everything that they do is for the good of the colony.  They are not just mean, they are pre-programmed to inflict chaos!

You may be perfectly innocent, just walking around and suddenly you come upon a hornet’s nest.  Stop them before they attack by calling Double G Pest Control.  They have been eliminating hornets and wasps in Great River Country for over 20 years.  There is plenty of summer remaining so call Double G today at (217) 440-2847.

Scratch that Itch.

Most of us don’t spend our day dwelling on mosquitoes.  After all, during the day when we are working they are out of sight out of mind.  However, when it comes to summer fun in the Quincy/Hannibal area they always seem to be omnipresent just when you are trying to have a nice outing on weekends or in the evening.

Sure, you can slap, and scratch, and spray continuously the area around your outdoor event.  Some of the 176 mosquito species in the United States are not only annoying, but are a downright health hazard to people and their pets.  Did that get your attention?  Some bites may cause rash, fever, and joint pains.

Let’s get rid of these obnoxious creatures from your property once and for all!  In Hannibal and Quincy as well as the surrounding area home and business owners count on the team from Double G Pest Control and Lawn Service.  Visit their website at www.doublegpestandlawn.com.  Then call for an appointment at (217) 440-2847.

Doing A Self-Inspection for Termites.

Before you can even think about repairing termite damage you should do a quick self-assessment around your home.  Did you know that termites cause over five million dollars of damage a year to American homes?  Those numbers come from the National Pest Management Association.  That’s a lot of destruction from these tiny winged creatures!

Structural damage caused by these pests is best left to a professional exterminator.  As often as not, wood that has been significantly damaged is close to pipes and wiring and also many times that particular wood is load bearing. Let a professional do the repair work so that it will be done right the first time.

Homeowners in the Quincy and Hannibal area have learned that at the first sign of termites they call Double G Pest and Lawn Services.  They are this area’s termite control experts and have been for years.  Whether it is your home or your business, at the first sign of termites call Double G for complete extermination at (217) 440-2847.

Take Bee and Wasp Stings Seriously!

I know these are words that are not just idle reminders to most of you.  Some people in the Quincy/Hannibal area are even allergic to them, which makes them life-threatening.  The bee and wasp season is upon us on both sides of the river.  It is also important NOT to kill the valuable pollinators if that can be avoided.

Let’s focus on hornets and yellow jackets.  They do little or nothing to help pollinate the land.  So, this becomes the challenge…eliminate the dangerous pests while protecting the creatures that are disappearing by the millions and are essential to our future food supply.  You should never just start “nuking” bees and wasps without a professional exterminator!

This is where Double G Pest and Lawn Services comes to the rescue.  They have been helping residents of Great River Country eliminate the RIGHT flying, stinging pests year after year.  Before you tackle a job with which you are not qualified call hornet and yellow jacket exterminator Double G Pest at (217) 440-2847.

Good question…why should someone who lives in the Quincy area have their lawn professionally fertilized.  I guess you could do it yourself and run the risk of not doing it properly.  Now that it’s June I’m sure that you would like a lush, green front and back yard for the remainder of the summer and beyond.

Here are a few reasons to call a pro –

- Keep the weeds at bay!  A beautiful lawn can become a tangled nightmare within days.

In Quincy, hundreds of people have turned to Double G Pest and Lawn Services.  Their reputation for eliminating varmints and beautifying your property is second to none in our area.  Call them today before the weather turns really hot and have one of Quincy’s lawn fertilization professionals from Double G come to your home at (217) 440-2847.
