Not too terribly long ago, bed bugs were relegated to the past, eradicated from the US in the 1950s. But recently, bed bugs have resurfaced and continue to be the cause of one of the most common pest issues throughout the US today. With more Grand Island visitors and residents on the go than ever before, hotels, hospitals and residential buildings are subject to harboring bed bugs, as these tiny, nocturnal creatures excel at hitching rides into your Platte River Oasis home, hotel or healthcare facility on clothing, in suitcases, knapsacks and even in electronics.

What to know about bed bugs in the Great Plains

In search of a blood meal, bed bugs, drawn to exhaled carbon dioxide and warm bodies at rest are quite adept at feasting on human blood around the head, neck and upper extremities. While bed bugs don’t pose direct health threats, their bites can cause secondary infections, due to victims scratching their wounds. Additionally, victims may suffer psychological and emotional distress, causing sleep deprivation, which can make people vulnerable to diseases, if prolonged.

Most victims are alerted to a bed bug infestation when they find itchy welts on their necks, heads and arms. By this time, a bed bug infestation can be well underway. Should Hall, Merrick, Howard or Hamilton County residents or business owners suspect they might have a bed bug situation, take a deep breath and contact Truly Nolen Grand Island immediately.

As Eastern subterranean termites are predicted to affect 1 out of 5 structures in the Platte River Oasis sooner or later, Truly Nolen Grand Island advises residents and commercial property owners in Hall County, as well as Merrick, Howard and Hamilton Counties to invest in educating themselves about the most destructive termite in central Nebraska.

What’s the deal with Eastern subterranean termites?

• Eastern subterranean termites, like most types of termites may go unnoticed for years, as they enter homes and businesses through tunnels they construct, leading from your construction timbers to their nests, underground.
• Eastern termite colonies are larger than drywood termite populations, leading to more damage to your home or business in a shorter amount of time.
• Eastern subterranean termites damage Douglas fir and other commonly used building timbers.
• Preferring the internal, spring wood to the harder, summer wood on a timber’s exterior, Eastern subterranean termites hollow out the middle sections of timber, compromising support beams.

Signs of subterranean termite activity

• Eastern subterranean termites swarm in large numbers around dusk after a spring rain, in order for the young adult termites to mate and form new colonies.
• Earthen tunnels running from your home or business into the ground outside your property.
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or evidence of honeycomb patterns in the wood, where termites have removed the wood they like.

Our innovative termite protection plan goes further than other companies, by treating all areas of your Platte River property including:

• Small crevices and cracks in your foundation
• Concrete block voids
• Slab joint spaces
• Plumbing pipe gaps
• Wall cracks and imperfections
• Eaves, doors, windows, attics and other swarm access points
• Firewood and vulnerable furniture

Truly Nolen Grand Island termite protection utilizes liquid treatments, inside, outside and underneath your home or business, using state of the art equipment that penetrates areas to deter termites. Because subterranean termites nest below the ground, our technicians administer a liquid repellent directly into termite galleries. Workers from the termite colony then spread this poisonous material throughout the colony, exterminating the queen, causing the colony to collapse.

Termites are a tricky business and should be handled by trusted professionals. Contact Truly Nolen Grand Island to set up a free termite evaluation or to eliminate a current infestation. Preventing termites in your central Nebraska home is serious business. Trust Truly Nolen Grand Island’s Total Termite Protection Plan^SM for year-round termite protection.

Rodents have co-existed alongside humans as far back as recorded history.
