Our Customers Love Us! See What They Are Saying.
I recently decided to use Barrier Lawn and Pest services as I became acquainted with their services through my place of work. The initial contact with Mike Dean was personable and informative. Scheduling of the service was also very accommodating as I was not given a 2-4 hour window as I had experienced with other companies. The technician arrived on time and reviewed the service with my wife before beginning. Upon completion, my wife was given the company's contact information in case we had any future questions. This experience was very pleasant, and we would recommend Barrier's services to any friend or neighbor.

Mealworms
Mealworms, the larval stage of the darkling beetle, are notorious pests often found in homes, barns, and food storage areas. These yellowish-brown larvae, typically about an inch long, are attracted to grains, cereals, and other dry goods, making them a common nuisance in kitchens and pantries. They thrive in warm, humid environments, making it easy to infest areas where food is improperly stored or where crumbs and spills are left unattended. Practicing good food storage and cleanliness habits is essential to avoid mealworm infestations. Store dry goods in airtight containers to keep mealworms out, and regularly clean your kitchen and pantry to remove crumbs and spills that could attract them. Additionally, inspect food purchases for any signs of infestation, such as damaged packaging or visible larvae, and promptly dispose of any contaminated items to prevent the spread of these pests. To prevent mealworms outside the home, remove any decaying organic matter like fallen leaves, mulch, or old wood, as these can serve as breeding grounds. Please keep outdoor areas clean and dry, and make sure that exterior food storage, such as pet food or birdseed, is securely stored. By maintaining cleanliness both inside and outside, you can reduce the risk of a mealworm infestation.
