Magic Joins the U.S. Green Building Council

Magic Pest Management has joined the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The USGBC developed the LEED Certification System to verify that a building is designed and built taking into account its environmental impact during its entire life cycle including construction, occupancy and decommissioning.

"We look forward to being involved in the design and planning stages of construction and renovation projects" stated Ralph Maestre BCE, "We often are called into a building that by design is enabling pests to flourish within the structure. As a Pest Control Professional and Board Certified Entomologist, I can provide advise to prevent such flaws in a buildings design and reduce the possibility of exposure to pest born diseases while limiting the use of pest control products. In addition, Magic's Green Shield Certified Services help both to limit exposure to non-target organisms around the exterior of a building, and reduce the impact to Indoor Air Quality."

Two employees will seek LEED Green Associate status and eventually LEED AP accreditation.

Mosquitoes shouldn't be the Life of the Party

Have you every invited friends over for a relaxing backyard BBQ or had an outdoor party that was crashed by a swarm of Mosquitoes? 

Spraying down your guest with bug spray is probably not what you had planned as entertainment.

What can you do?

Remove water born breeding areas - Man made containers come in a variety of shapes and sizes such as the lid of a garbage can, a flower pot or an old tire behind the garage. Elimination of any stagnant water will prevent an infestation directly on your property.

Magic's Outdoor Party Program can provide temporary relief from biting insects such as mosquitoes for up to 7 days. The program uses all natural botanically based products providing the relief a client expects without applying synthetic pesticides. Temporary control of mosquitoes and other insects such as aphids, ants, bees, boxelder bugs, centipedes, cockroaches, fleas, ground beetles, mites millipedes, silverfish, spiders,

ticks, and wasps is achieved.

These products may be applied as a treatment to the perimeter or recreational areas. It may also be applied as an outdoor yard treatment. This is not a service that is provided under our regular seasonal program.

Mechanical Traps work by producing carbon dioxide. This tricks Mosquitoes into believing that a human is present and as they attempt to feed, they are sucked into the trap. I have little
experience with these units so I will not comment on there efficiency.

Happy Earth Day

 ! Happy Earth Day !

This Sunday April 22 is Earth Day. Earth Day was established in 1970 to create public awareness for the environment, living organisms and public health. This year marks the 42nd anniversary with more than one billion people around the world participating in 2012.

Those Terrible Termites

Understanding the Sentricon Always Active Termite System

What to Expect from the
Sentricon Always Active Termite System

Sentricon Always Active Termite System Proven Protection &
Environmentally Responsible

Spring is Here! Prepared for Termites, Carpenter Ants / Bees & Wasps

Magic Exterminating expects a big surge in pest activity this Spring due to the mild winter and the topic is becoming a hot item on the Internet.

Termites remain active all year round. There colonies are beneath the ground below the frost line.

They travel in mud tubes that protect them. In the Spring, the warmth from the sun and moisture from rain, triggers there breeding cycle.

Swarmers (reproductive termites) emerge above ground and mate. This is sometimes the first evidence we have that an active colony is attacking our home or business.

Magic recommends the Sentricon Termite Elimination

System which is a proven method of eliminating

termite colonies. 

The newest and the best. Sentricon Always Active.

Sentricon's new Recruit HD bait gives year round protection.

Carpenter Ants bore into the wood of our homes and business' and the colony lives within the beams. As the colony grows it splits, moving to another area of the structure where they repeat the destructive behavior. If the colony has begun to split they can do excessive damage and tracking down the satellite colonies can be difficult. Carpenter Ants also have winged reproductives (Breeding Ants) that may emerge.

Paper Wasps & Hornets & Yellow Jackets all become active once the Queen emerges from wintering over. The Queen quickly begins to produce worker bees to the colony and the hive structure grows rapidly. All of these winged insects will become highly aggressive if they believe there nest (Hive) is being threatened. The shadow from your hand or body is enough to trigger them into attack mode.

Magic can handle all of the above problems and more.

Magic also offers Annual Pest Control Agreements that cover most common pest and include free emergency service.
