Knowing the facts about the behavior and habits of the Africanized bee should help calm the fears of area residents. The more feisty kin of the common European honeybee, Africanized honeybees were imported to Brazil in 1956 to enhance honey production in the tropics. Some of the bees escaped into the wild and steadily migrated north, reaching Texas in 1991. The first confirmed hive in Brazoria County was found in Angleton in 2001. Over time, the Africanized bees intermingle with the European bees creating hybridized hives. It is impossible for the average person to tell the difference between the Africanized honeybee and the common European honeybee. It takes an expert with sophisticated lab equipment to distinguish between the two. And behavior alone will not tell you if a hive is Africanized or European. European honeybees can also attack very aggressively if sufficiently riled. Often called "killer bees," the stings of the Africanized bee are actually less potent and less painful than the common bee sting. The so-called killers do not travel in ever growing swarms, combing the countryside in search of prey like a school of terrestrial piranha. However, especially in the vicinity of their nest, Africanized bees respond more quickly to noise, movement and other disturbances than European bees. They will chase their enemies farther and attack in greater numbers than their European counterparts, and unlucky victims often suffer hundreds of stings. There have been about 10 deaths in the U.S. since the bees were first spotted here. Nearly all of the victims were elderly. - [Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System](https://killum.com/sentricon-colony-elimination-system/): Do you want to protect your home from termites, but need to answer an important question: bait or liquid? - [Awards](https://killum.com/awards/): Best pest control company in Houston - [Residential](https://killum.com/our-services/residential/): Basic treatment will warranty roaches, ants and silverfish. We will treat the immediate perimeter and inside of the structure/home including the attic, where accessible. We have several add on services that can provide control for spiders,ants in the yard,rodents in the yard and/or structure. We can also tailor a pest control treatment to meet the special need of your particular situation. - [Bed Bugs](https://killum.com/bug-database/bed-bugs/): The Common Bed Bug definitely is “back”, and daily there may be dozens of news media articles related to this blood feeding parasite. From its rare occurrence into the 1990’s the bed bug now is routinely reported throughout the United States and Canada, and in such locations as theaters, schools, busses, offices, and upscale clothing stores. Because it is now so widely recognized it is logical that a great deal of misinformation is going to be spread about it. This article in BugInfo is intended to help you understand some of the Myths and Realities of the bed bug. - [Racoons](https://killum.com/bug-database/racoons/): Raccoons In The Attic: PLEASE do not try to trap and remove if you have raccoons in the attic. Nine times out of ten, there's baby raccoons up there! If you trap and remove the mother, you will have a BIG PROBLEM on your hands, and you will likely cause further house damage, noise, suffering of cute little raccoons, and a terrible odor as the babies die and decompose. This is not a job for homeowners! Call a pro! - [Bats](https://killum.com/bug-database/bats/): So, when it comes to bat "control" you have very few options. At this time there are no poisons registered for use against bats, so killing them in this manner is not allowed. That is probably just as well, for if the bats were poisoned and died within the walls of the structure there could be an immense odor problem. You also may have received advice about repelling them from the building with odors, and moth balls or moth crystals are the standard suggestion. The ingredient is naphthalene, and it can have an odor of its own that you or other people may object to, since several pounds of the material would be needed to have any effect on the bats. This may work as a temporary solution to move the bats out, but the physical exclusion is still the only long-term control solution. - [Birds](https://killum.com/bug-database/birds/): The general public affection toward birds translates into a serious underestimation of the health risks associated with pest birds. People who would never tolerate a colony of rats living in their attic will turn a blind eye towards pigeons entrenched in the rafters of their roof. Yet, in terms of disease and damage, the two pests can be quite similar. In order to better understand how some pest birds (or rats for that matter) spread disease we need to understand the basics of disease and transmission. - [Rodents](https://killum.com/bug-database/rodents/): Domestic rodents, also called commensal rodents, are three species of rats and mice which live in close contact with man. Damage caused by these animals is varied and extensive with losses reaching millions of dollars annually. They are found almost everywhere that man dwells. They inhabit man’s buildings and destroy his food and property. - [Wasps](https://killum.com/bug-database/wasps/) - [Bees](https://killum.com/bug-database/bees/): The first confirmed hive in Brazoria County was found in Angleton in 2001. Over time, the Africanized bees intermingle with the European bees creating hybridized hives. It is impossible for the average person to tell the difference between the Africanized honeybee and the common European honeybee. It takes an expert with sophisticated lab equipment to distinguish between the two. And behavior alone will not tell you if a hive is Africanized or European. European honeybees can also attack very aggressively if sufficiently riled. Often called "killer bees," the stings of the Africanized bee are actually less potent and less painful than the common bee sting. The so-called killers do not travel in ever growing swarms, combing the countryside in search of prey like a school of terrestrial piranha. However, especially in the vicinity of their nest, Africanized bees respond more quickly to noise, movement and other disturbances than European bees. They will chase their enemies farther and attack in greater numbers than their European counterparts, and unlucky victims often suffer hundreds of stings. There have been about 10 deaths in the U.S. since the bees were first spotted here. Nearly all of the victims were elderly. - [Mosquitoes](https://killum.com/bug-database/mosquitoes/): Immediately, when the weather warms to the mid to high 60's, even if it is a sudden warm spell in the middle of the winter, mosquito adults are out and about, the females looking for a blood meal and then a water source to lay her eggs. It may even be containers, such as buckets or tree holes, that do not yet have water in them, and yet the mosquito instinctively knows these cavities will fill up later, and she lays her eggs in them. The eggs may be deposited in clusters on top of the water (called "rafts") or one at a time on the surface of an object. - [Ticks](https://killum.com/bug-database/ticks/): Ticks grow from the egg to the adult by what is called simple metamorphosis, meaning their appearance does not change much. They emerge from the egg as a tiny tick, shed their skin some months later to become the second stage and a slightly larger tick, and then shed their outer skin one last time to become the adult tick, at which time males and females mate and large numbers of new eggs are laid. The life cycle of ticks, from egg to adult, generally takes around 2 years. - [Fleas](https://killum.com/bug-database/fleas/): There are certain steps which property owners can take to minimize the opportunities for fleas to infest homes or buildings. Some of these are: - [Ants](https://killum.com/bug-database/ants/): Sterile female fire ant workers can sting repeatedly. First they bite; then, while holding onto the skin with their jaws, they inject venom with stingers at the end of their abdomens. The unique venom produces a fire-like burning sensation. Most people react by developing a whitish pustule or fluid-filled blister at the sting site after a day or two. Those hypersensitive to the stings should be prepared for a medical emergency if stung. Most people can tolerate multiple stings, but may have problems with secondary infections at the sting sites. - [Roaches](https://killum.com/bug-database/roaches/): Adults 3/4" long, tan with 2 black, longitudinal marks on pronotum (shield-like plate on top of head). Average 30 eggs per capsule which is carried by female until ready to hatch. Only 3 months to the mature adult. Most common structural cockroach, a non-flyer carried into structures by man. German cockroaches are most commonly found in homes and commercial establishments. They are usually detected in kitchens, bathrooms or areas with daily access to water. They do not migrate into buildings from the outside, but are usually brought in with packages, groceries, etc. - [Termites](https://killum.com/bug-database/termites/): Termite season occurs when swarming begins in late February and early March. To a limited extent termites regulate temperature conditions to suit themselves. Therefore, some burrows will be situated above ground and some situated below the ground. Typically the winged reproductives may wait three months or more for the correct atmospheric conditions. When the humidity and temperature are adequate, the reproductives emerge from the tunnels that the workers and nymphs have built. - [Bug Database](https://killum.com/bug-database/): Termites Ants Bees Roaches Rodents Racoons Birds Fleas Bats Mosquitoes Bed Bugs - [Contact Us](https://killum.com/contact-us/): 2506 Francis DrPearland, TX 77581Ph: 281-297-9993 ## testimonials - [Brazosport Regional Healthcare System](https://killum.com/testimonials/brazosport-regional-healthcare-system/): It is with great pleasure that I recommend Killum Pest Control as an outstanding pest control company.They treat you as a partner,and not just another client. I am proud to have Killum Pest Control as our service partner for over 7 years now.They treat us with respect,and really care about the service they provide.  Any time pest control issues come up, they are always very knowledgeable, and they are there to provide us with the answers we need. - [Jessica M](https://killum.com/testimonials/jessica-m/): My name is Jessica MacDonald, My husband and I have been customers since we bought our home in Lake Jackson three years ago. Although our home is in a nice established neighborhood, we have had a few extra visitors along the way. Needless to say, when we bought it, someone forgot to tell us about the racoons and bats living in the attic or the roach/carpenter ant/mouse/flea problem associated with living near a wooded area. We have called Killum for all of the above and probably a few pests I'm forgetting. On every occasion, we have had an appointment within a week of calling, if not sooner, which is a comfort when you're dealing with unwanted visitors. In addition, your technicians are some of the friendliest I've ever met. They are extremely informative, knowledgeable and always have suggestions for prevention or "do it yourself" alternatives. I wish all businesses had this kind of customer service! I know that something like bat removal can't be at the top of someone's list as "something I'd love to do today," but your technician arrived with a smile, made jokes to ease the creepiness of knowing that bats were living in our attic and completely took care of the problem. (Thank goodness!) I had the same experience with a technician that came out a few weeks ago to help us with a mouse problem. He was great and had a great sense of humor and since then, our rodents have not given us any more trouble. - [Center for the Arts & Sciences](https://killum.com/testimonials/center-for-the-arts-sciences/): Termite control and repairs due to termite damage were ongoing challenges at the Center for the Arts & Sciences. Swarming termites appeared every spring for many years. Other treatment services had been ineffective in eliminating the problem, until we hired Killum Pest Control. The first spring season after installation of the Sentricon system, was the first spring without swarming termites in over 15 years and the first with no building repairs from termite damage. The system works beautifully and the people at Killum are professional and great to work with. Orren Gaspard Administrator Center for the Arts & Sciences - [GCA Services Group](https://killum.com/testimonials/gca-services-group/): In July 2009 GCA assumed management of 10 Houston Independent School District campuses.

GCA was particularly impressed with knowledge of pest management, in particular as pertained to schools. - [Nolan Ryan](https://killum.com/testimonials/nolan-ryan/): Killum Pest Control has been our residential exterminating company for the past five years. After trying other companies and methods of pest control, we switched to the courteous and professional services of the folks at Killum.

They also service our residence on a quarterly basis and are always dependable, friendly and willing to answer questions or solve any problems related to insects, rodents or other pests.
