Dock Spiders, Yard Ticks, And Other Lake Of The Ozarks Creepy Crawlers: Here's How To Beat Them

It has begun. Homeowners across the Lake of the Ozarks are battling the annual invasion of creepy-crawlers that we’re doomed to encounter as spring temperatures rise. Often, the lone spider in the bedroom can spark the sudden dreadful realization that there is likely an entire family—or horde—of arachnids someplace nearby.

Best Pest Control, locally owned and operated for more than 29 years, has made it their company’s mission to annihilate termites and roaches, obliterate scorpions, destroy wasps and intrusive bees, eliminate ants, bedbugs, ticks, mites, and fleas, and trounce that small society of spiders pow-wowing beneath the bed.

So what is the catalyst for individuals utilizing a pest control service, especially this spring?

Indoor services can range from a pesky rodent problem in an attic space, to a major termite infestation discovered during a property inspection, to a mattress that seems to subtly vibrate of its own accord (thanks to a few unwelcomed bedbugs). Mice will chew on nearly anything that can be perceived as useful to help them construct a comfy nest, while termites eat 24/7, meaning that they can pose a formidable threat to the structural integrity of your home. Bedbugs, while not overly common, are a type of insect that feed on human blood, usually at night, and can often be overlooked until symptoms, such as itching, occur.

What about a less drastic, more expected household pest that is often underestimated and viewed as a nuisance rather than a threat? Did you know that one of the most dangerous insects in the world is the common housefly, carrying and transmitting more diseases than any other animal? Springtime spraying services can both eliminate and prevent insect infiltration.

Best Pest Control also specializes in outdoor services. With an increased number of emerging tick-borne diseases, infectious bacteria, and newly discovered viruses, pet owners have taken to preventative measures for those ominous yard bugs. Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever are just a few of the tick-borne ailments which plague our beloved canines every year. Spraying a yard for ticks, fleas, and other (potentially dangerous) insects can help lessen this risk to domesticated animals while also decreasing their chances of carrying these free ticket parasites back into the home.

From the interior to the exterior of your home, to your porch, deck, driveway, yard, and all the way down to your dock, Best Pest Control is equipped to handle any of your pest control needs. They also service small business locations and commercial properties, such as restaurants, where an endless supply of food commonly attracts unwanted pests.

According to Ameren Missouri Shoreline Management, there are approximately 25,000 registered docks along the Lake of the Ozarks. Are you one of those happily permitted dock owners? Do you possibly have a storage shed that houses your children’s life jackets and swimming accessories, or have a compartment for all of your fishing gear? All of these creature comforts, when left unused for an extended period of time, can become a sanctuary for six to eight legged manifestations seeking refuge during the harsh winter months.

Ryan and Katie Dauber, Iowan natives at heart and current owners of the pest control business, recommend a free inspection and thorough evaluation of property for suggested seasonal/annual scheduling. They are readily available for new service calls and promptly assist their returning customer base by scheduled and/or “as needed” request.

Best Pest Control not only offers extermination and pest control services, but they also have all of the experience, knowledge, and equipment to handle anything pest related. Several years ago, Ryan was contacted by a private film company to assist with a movie scene. His task was to trap a raccoon and bring it to the producers working the set. Luckily for Ryan, he caught not one, but two raccoons in live traps outside of his home that night. The film crew chose the larger, calmer raccoon of the two, and had Ryan release it from a trashcan and into a cabin (so we can officially add stunt performance to the company’s area of expertise).
