Best Pest Control

Looks like the Monarch migration is underway. You have to look close 🤓

🥵

Not just for hikers 🤣🕷

Spiders: Unsuccessfully trapping hikers since, like, forever.

We’ve all walked through a spider web at some point. Are there ways to avoid a web on a trail? Not really, but we can offer a few tips that may lessen the shock.

🕸 As you walk, use a stick to make first contact with any potential webs. This way you can avoid using your face.

🕸 Invite a tall person to join you and walk behind them. After repeated web encounters, encouragement and compliments may be needed to keep this person in front. (Also, act surprised after each web encounter. You might want to say, “wow, that never happens,” or “I bet it was just the one.”)

🕸 Sleep in and let the early risers clear the trail for you. Amateurs.

🕸 Make the most of the little dance people do when they walk through a spider web and try to get it off. Let’s not scare anyone. Pull back. Pull back!!!!

P.S. The average spider can spin/repair a web in about 30 to 60 minutes. Something to keep in mind if the trail is not a loop.

Most of the time we are working toward controlling nuisance pests but once in a while we come across creatures that make us stop and appreciate nature and maybe even give them a helping hand when they find themselves stuck in a place they didn’t mean to get into. 🐢🐸

Have a safe weekend and remember what it’s about! 🇺🇸🎖🇺🇸
