Seeking warmth, food, and shelter, these small creatures often make their way into attics and homes, causing potential property damage and health risks. According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), rodents invade an estimated 21 million U.S. homes each fall, leading to costly and stressful infestations for homeowners.

Cook’s Strategy](https://cookspest.com/how-john-r-cooks-marketing-genius-catapulted-a-brand-and-jingle/): Once you get the jingle in your head, it’s tough to get it out. Lookie, Lookie, Lookie, Here Comes Cookie has become synonymous with Cook’s brand over the years. But, are you aware of how the song became the focal point for the pest control company?  - [Pest Profile: Belostomadidae](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-belostomadidae/): Often times when people have German roach, they will say that they have “water bugs”. Admitting that you have roaches is distasteful, so this is a more palatable alternative. The belostomatid, I’m sure, would take offense to this because it is the actual “water bug." As one of the largest members of the Hemipteran order, they can reach lengths up to 4 inches. Making their homes in ponds, ditches, and marshy areas; these predatory insects will lie in wait for their next meal consisting of small fish, amphibians, or insects. When the prey is in range, the water bug will launch an ambush and grab its victim with its powerful front legs. Then the prey is injected with venomous saliva which will digest the food source, allowing the water bug to ingest the liquified nutrients. If you are fortunate enough to see a belostomatid in the wild, it is not recommended that pick them up with your bare hands. Their bite can be extremely painful, but it is not medically significant. - [Belostomatidae: From Predator to Delicacy](https://cookspest.com/belostomatidae-from-predator-to-delicacy/): Belostomatidae, also known as “giant water bugs,” are easily recognizable by their large size and a pair of short, strap-like posterior respiratory appendages. They are one of the largest insects in the Hemiptera order. They use these appendages to obtain air at the water's surface. They are large, predatory aquatic insects that will fly in large numbers to light during evening hours, hence another nickname: “electric light bugs.” They have two ways of inflicting harm: attacking with their painful beak or pinching with their large front legs. They prey on a number of different organisms such as aquatic insects, small fish, frogs, tadpoles, small birds, and any other organism they are able to capture. These water bugs will inject a deadly enzyme into their prey in order to kill and consume them. - [Pest Profile: Norway Rat](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-norway-rat/): Norway rats are often referred to as the street or sewer rats. They are a large species of rat that is said to have first arrived in the Americas on ships in the 1700s. Today they can be found throughout the world. They are very agile and are capable of running, climbing, jumping, and swimming. Their gnawing is a well-known cause of damage to properties and structures. Their teeth are said to be stronger than iron, and they are able to chew through a number of different materials. In appearance, they are brown and black rats with a white underside. They are long, heavily bodied, and have a blunt muzzle. They are commonly misidentified as their relative the roof rat. One way to tell the difference between these two species of rodents is their tails: roof rats have a very long tail that when pulled over its head is longer than the length of its body, whereas the Norway rat has a shorter tail that does not extend past its body. Norway rats also have a rounder, more blunt snout, and smaller ears. - [Intelligent Rodents](https://cookspest.com/intelligent-rodents/): One of my favorite speakers in the pest control industry is Dr. Bobby Corrigan, a rodent enthusiast, or, as he's more professionally known, an Urban Rodentologist. Some of the most useful information I have learned about rodents has come from seminars Dr. Corrigan has led. In one such event that I watched recently, he talked about rodents and how fascinatingly intelligent they are. In our industry, we often think of rodents as a nuisance, mere vermin that we as pest control professionals are to eliminate. While that is true, have you ever stopped to consider the rodent itself? Perhaps learning more about them can not only expand our knowledge of what we do and why we do it but also help us more efficiently control these pests. - [Pest Profile: Japanese Beetles](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-japanese-beetles/): This beetle is currently the most widespread pest of turfgrass and is responsible for almost $450 million in damage every year. Japanese beetles are found in a number of different countries including Japan, China, Russia, Portugal, Canada, and the United States. Since the original introduction in the U.S to New Jersey, this beetle has been found in a number of different states all across the country. - [Pest Profile: Social Wasp](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-social-wasp/): Pest Profile: Yellow Jackets (Vespula spp.) - [Social Wasp 101](https://cookspest.com/social-wasp-101/): What does it mean to be social? Being social, or sociality is defined as a group of individuals of the same species exchanging information and cooperating in one way or another. The key to this cooperative living is communication. The word communication is derived from the Latin word “communis”, which is translated to mean “to exchange or share obligations.” That is precisely what these social insects do: they share information on where to eat, what to eat, dangers to avoid, potential mates, etc. Many interactions in the insect community demonstrate characteristics of sociality; however, not all insect gatherings are considered “social.” Many times, a large gathering of insects indicates a response to an environmental stimulus, either positive or negative. There are numerous forms of social behavior among insects: eusocial, semi-social, subsocial, solitary, communal, and quasi-social. - [Pest Profile: Formosan Termite](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-formosan-termite/): The Formosan termite Coptotermes formosanus is the most widely distributed and most economically important termite in the genus Coptotermes. A single Formosan colony may contain millions of termites that forage up to 300 feet in soil; this population size and foraging range pose a serious threat to structures. - [Soldier Termites and Their Wild Helmets](https://cookspest.com/soldier-termites-and-their-wild-helmets/): When we think of termites, we typically think of destruction, damage, wood-eating, and good-for-nothing insects. However, termites are so much more than that. Termites are complex insects and one of the few insects out there that can eat wood. They have a uniquely complicated reproduction cycle, and they are one of the truly social, or eusocial, insects out there. One of the qualifications to be "truly social" is to have a developed caste system. This means that different termites are born to do different tasks within the colony. In a termite colony, there are workers, soldiers, and reproductives. The workers make up the majority of the colony and do most of the work for the colony. Reproductives are responsible for mating, starting new colonies, and continuing the current one. Lastly, there are soldier termites. I feel like the soldier termite doesn’t get a whole lot of credit for how interesting they are and how different they can be among the various termite species. - [Pest Profile: Mole Crickets](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-mole-crickets/): Have you ever been to a soccer field or other sports field during the evening and see swarms of large insects crawling around? There could be a number of critters out; however, oftentimes they are mole crickets. These crickets are fascinating and very different looking than what you would expect of a cricket, but unique as they are, they can cause significant plant damage. - [A Legacy of Giving – Interview with Brian Cook](https://cookspest.com/legacy-of-giving/): President and CEO of Cook’s Pest Control, Brian Cook, was recently featured on a leadership podcast to discuss the importance of giving. He's joined by Larry Little, CEO of the Eagle Center for Leadership, who's been a friend to the Cook family for years. - [The Electric Buzz](https://cookspest.com/the-electric-buzz/): I love writing about bugs, but sometimes I struggle to think of new and exciting topics to explore in my writing. Sometimes I ask around for ideas, and I recently asked our Training Coordinator Ashley, "if you could ask one question about insects, what would it be?" She said, “Kristen, I don’t know, why do bumblebees have fur?” I thought I knew the answer ("to collect pollen"), so I didn’t think it was a worthy topic. It turns out, I was wrong. Bumblebee fuzz does much more than just collect pollen. - [For the Luck of Crickets](https://cookspest.com/for-the-luck-of-crickets/): Aside from my birthday, one of my favorite days in March is St. Patrick’s Day. The holiday brings back fun memories of silly green outfits I used to wear as a kid, and, more importantly, my mom’s yummy corned beef and cabbage. When we think of St. Patrick’s Day, we often think of good luck charms like four leaf clovers. Did you know that the insect world has its own good luck charms? One of those insects that was superstitiously seen as lucky, and still is, is the cricket. - [Pest Profile – Luna Moth](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-luna-moth/): The luna moth (Actias luna) is one of my favorite moths and arguably one of the most beautiful moths out there. This moth is so popular that it appeared on a U.S. postage stamp in 1987. The Luna moth was one of the first recorded moths from North America in its family Saturniidae. They get their name from the moon-like spots on their wings. They are typically found in forest areas and are distributed in every eastern state from Maine to Florida and from Texas to eastern North Dakota. - [Dinner and a Show: Peacock Jumping Spider](https://cookspest.com/dinner-and-a-show-peacock-jumping-spider/): It's once again that time of year when store shelves abound in heart-shaped valentine boxes, kids are making valentines, couples are planning dates and maybe you're doing none of those things, which is perfectly okay! Would you believe me if I told you that there are some creepy crawlers that may be planning their dates, too? One of my favorite activities, regardless of Valentine's Day, is dinner and a movie, or dinner and a show. Peacock jumping spiders (Maratus spp.) may enjoy the same; however, dinner, if it’s included, will cost a male it’s life. - [Pest Profile: Golden Silk Orb Weaver](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-golden-silk-orb-weaver/): Ever go for a hike and come across a large, magnificent web with a large spider that looks like it could potentially eat you if given the chance? Such a spider may be the Golden silk-orb weaver (Trichonephila clavipes). This spider can be found in Florida and other southeastern states. It is a large orange and brown spider with feather tufts on its legs. It is well known and often despised by those that hike because it makes a very large web that may often be run into accidentally. However, the spider really poses no danger and will only bite if held or pinched. Webs are typically made in the open woods or on the edges of dense forest and are attached to trees and low-lying shrubs. These are placed strategically in order to exploit insect flight paths. - [Pest Profile: Field Mice](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-field-mice/): Being from Florida, I really do not like the cold. It makes me want to stay inside and stay snuggled on my couch with a warm glass of tea. However, I am not the only one that wants to be inside during these frigid months. Field mice have the same feelings about the cold as I do, they too want to be inside a warm house, perhaps not drinking a cup of tea, but definitely looking for any tasty scraps they can find. Unfortunately they often find their ways into our homes looking for warmth and food. - [Silverfish](https://cookspest.com/silverfish/): Silverfish are in the order Zygentoma. This soft-bodied insect is a voracious feeder on items high in starch, glue, and cellulose. For example, they are common in libraries and museums where paper books and labels are abundant. However, they can also be found outdoors in cool shaded places, such as under leaf litter, under rocks, in caves, and even in ant nests. Similar to other insects found in homes, silverfish can be found worldwide. - [Insects in the Snow: Snow Fleas](https://cookspest.com/insects-in-the-snow-snow-fleas/): When I think of snow, I don’t think of many things living in it that aren’t covered in fur or blubber. You especially don’t think of insects being able to survive. Sometimes, I don’t think I am going to survive, being from Florida I would take the sand in my toes than the snow in my front yard any day. However, there are indeed tiny insects that would prefer that snowy weather to the warm indoors. There are actually a few different types of insects that will thrive in these colder conditions resulting from perhaps some confusing calls from customers who think the cold weather means zero insects. These insects are snow fleas, midges, scorpionflies, stoneflies, and snow flies. - [Remembering Eleanor “Jo” Cook](https://cookspest.com/remembering-jo-cook/): Mrs. Cook’s desire throughout her adult life was to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and to share her Savior’s love with others. - [Pest Profile: Fungus Gnats](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-fungus-gnats-2/): As colder weather approaches, some outdoor plants are now getting chilly and need to be brought inside. Although moving plants indoors is great for keeping them alive, this can bring in some unwanted house guests, specifically fungus gnats. The fungus gnat is a small fly that enjoys eating fungus and decaying organic matter that often grows in the soil of these potted plants. There are about 65 different species here in North America, and they are found on all other continents and most of the major islands. - [Pest Profile: Silverfish](https://cookspest.com/pest-profile-silverfish/): Silverfish are in the order Zygentoma. This soft-bodied insect is a voracious feeder on items high in starch, glue, and cellulose. For example, they are common in libraries and museums where paper books and labels are abundant. However, they can also be found outdoors in cool shaded places, such as under leaf litter, under rocks, in caves, and even in ant nests. Similar to other insects found in homes, silverfish can be found worldwide. - [A Bookworm’s Nightmare: Book Infesting Insects](https://cookspest.com/a-bookworms-nightmare-book-infesting-insects/): I have always been a big reader of books, and nowadays reading is more convenient than ever thanks to eBooks that can be read on whatever electronic device suits your fancy. However, I find that there is nothing better than a new paper book. I love the way they feel and smell, and I love turning actual pages. As strange as some of you may think I am, there are certain insects out there that love to eat these starchy substances and will invade our precious books. Two of the main ones that we deal with are silverfish and psocids, also known as booklice. - [Monarch Migration: How it Happens](https://cookspest.com/monarch-migration/): When we think of migrating animals, we often think of ducks and other birds that fly to places with warmer weather. However, birds are not the only animals that migrate; monarch butterflies also have unique migrating behavior. Each fall, North American monarchs will migrate almost 3,000 miles from their summer breeding grounds. There is a generation of monarchs that lives east of the Rocky Mountains that will overwinter in Central Mexico, and some western monarchs have a shorter migration to the southern coast of California. How does their migration work, and why are they practicing this behavior? ## Pages - [LP – Form Thank You](https://cookspest.com/landing/lp-form-thank-you/): THANK YOU!
