Okay so I know tumblr ads are usually unbearably strange but like... what is going on!?! For the entire month of November my ads have either been for "all natural rodent repellent pouches" accompanied by pictures of dead rodents (I sincerely hope those are just trained rodents playing dead) or ads for a dating website for men seeking "sophisticated seniors" accompanied by somewhat suggestive pictures of elderly women in elegant formalwear.

What is the implication here?

Am I bringing these erudite elders back to my hypothetically rat-infested bachelor pad for an evening of romance and very serious pest problems? How are these ritzy retirees supposed to enjoy their cocktails and candlelit dinner when they are fending off legions of rats? And what kind of aspiring young suitor would bring the object of his desire back to such an environment, eh? How can I seek the hand of my snazzy senior citizen with my sensuous sonnets when Stuart Little is waiting in the wings? These posh pensioners are interested thoughtful young men who have their eye on marriage, not catching the bubonic plague from sitting on my couch.

I'm not trying to remake Willard nor do I wish to wine and dine winsome wrinkled women. To put it simply: What, dear Tumblr ad bots, is wrong with you?

[theinnermeyoullneverknow]

Hey snake people of tumblr

(by which I mean, people who have/had pet snakes or who care/cared for snakes as part of the their job or who study/studied snakes & their behavior)

Would it be safe to allow a domesticated (or semi-domesticated) snake to roam a house for a few days to take care of a rodent problem?

If so, what species would be appropriate for this and are there any organizations that would allow someone with no past experience caring for snakes to like borrow/rent/foster one for this purpose? And what type of remnants could I expect to be left behind?

Floridian 1: yeah, the lizards are definitely more of an issue. FL has a Lot Of Them and the iguanas are mostly an issue in the south (I couldn’t walk my terrier at night without a stick to whack them with because they’d come after her), and they’re super invasive so. We hate them lol. I had a Cuban anole living in the bush outside my bathroom window and she and her babies ate all the flies we’d usually get so she never got chased off. Sometimes snakes are issues, but as long as you leave the bitey ones alone you’re good. And gators don’t care about humans much, just make a lot of noise and they leave, or if they’re small just grab em by the tail and toss ‘em back into the water

lizards are sounding a Lot Less Cool with these additions

also yeah erosion!! that was the other issue i kept seeing along with the saltblasting winds

Termite facts from the pest guy

I am paying it forward to you, lovely individuals of tumblr. Is your home made of wood inside the walls? If yes read on.

If there is mud on your walls or in corners in your house, that's termites doing that. Call a pest guy.

An inspection once a year does not do the full job. Ideally you should check all your corners/walls for mud every 2 months.

You can also bang on the walls and if you hear anything "falling" inside there when you do it, that's mud. Termites.

If you happen to have the cash money for buying a home, check for termites and/or termite damage before you buy it, or it might cost you an extra 50k to fix the problem the prev owner left you with.

In an ideal world, paved areas next to your house should be paved at a level BELOW the foundation of the house. Makes it harder for the termites to get in.

If your HOA or strata pays for a pest inspection guy once a year, please actually let him in! Pest guy doesn't care if you have embarassing shit in the house, pest guy only cares for termites.

This concludes the knowledge that the pest guy has passed to me, and now to you. May the wood inside your walls stay strong and uneaten.

Some Splotches have names, usually given to them by other people.

They fit in the palm of human hands, and each have unique faceplates that they decorate with dyes made from plants and insects.

Cracking the Cockroach Code: How They Communicate and Ways to Disrupt Their Signals

Cockroaches are among the most resilient and adaptable pests on the planet. One of the reasons for their survival is their ability to communicate effectively with each other. While they don’t chirp or make audible sounds like other pests, cockroaches have developed complex methods of communication that help them find food, avoid danger, and even attract mates. Understanding how cockroaches communicate is key to disrupting their signals and controlling infestations more effectively. Let’s delve into the fascinating world of cockroach communication and explore ways to break their code.

How Do Cockroaches Communicate?

Cockroaches rely on three primary methods of communication: pheromones, touch, and vibrations. These silent signals help them navigate their surroundings and survive in even the most challenging environments.

1. Pheromones: The Chemical Language of Cockroaches

Pheromones are chemical signals that cockroaches release to send messages to others in their colony. These chemicals play a crucial role in their social structure and survival.

a. Aggregation pheromones: Cockroaches secrete these chemicals to attract others to a specific location, often leading to large infestations in hidden areas.

b. Trail pheromones: Used to mark paths to food and water sources, guiding other roaches to sustenance.

c. Sex pheromones: Emitted by female cockroaches to attract mates and ensure reproduction.

By following these pheromone trails, cockroaches can build large colonies quickly, making infestations harder to control.

2. Touch and Tactile Communication

Cockroaches are social insects and often use their antennae to touch and communicate with one another. This tactile interaction helps them recognize their colony members and assess their environment.

a. When two cockroaches meet, they use their antennae to exchange information about food sources and potential threats.

b. This touch-based communication helps reinforce their social structure and enhances their ability to work as a unit.

3. Vibrations and Sensory Cues

Cockroaches are highly sensitive to vibrations and air currents, which they use to detect danger.

a. They can sense minute changes in air movement caused by approaching predators, allowing them to escape quickly.

b. Vibrations in their environment can signal the presence of food or potential mates.

How to Disrupt Cockroach Communication and Control Infestations

Understanding how cockroaches communicate gives us an edge in disrupting their signals and preventing infestations. Here are some effective strategies to break their communication channels and eliminate them from your home or business.

1. Eliminate Pheromone Trails

Since cockroaches rely heavily on pheromones to find food and nesting areas, disrupting these trails can significantly impact their ability to establish colonies.

a. Deep cleaning: Regularly clean floors, countertops, and hidden spaces to remove any pheromone trails.

b. Soap and vinegar solutions: Wipe down surfaces with soap or vinegar to break down pheromone residues.

c. Vacuum regularly: This helps remove pheromone deposits and eggs hidden in cracks and crevices.

2. Block Tactile Communication

Since cockroaches use touch to recognize colony members and coordinate their activities, limiting their movement can interfere with their communication.

a. Seal entry points: Use caulk to close gaps and cracks in walls, floors, and around plumbing.

b. Use insecticidal dust: Applying boric acid or diatomaceous earth in key areas can disrupt their movement and communication.

3. Disrupt Vibrational Cues

Cockroaches rely on vibrations to detect threats and food sources, so altering their environment can confuse them.

a. Reduce clutter: A clean, uncluttered space minimizes the number of hiding spots and nesting areas.

b. Use ultrasonic repellents: Some studies suggest that ultrasonic sound waves can interfere with cockroach movement and communication.

c. Introduce natural predators: Certain wasp species and geckos are natural cockroach predators that can help control infestations.

4. Deploy Professional Pest Control Solutions

For severe infestations, professional pest control services are the most effective way to disrupt cockroach communication and eradicate their presence.

a. Bait stations: Professional-grade bait lures cockroaches and eliminates them at the source.

b. Targeted insecticide treatments: Experts use safe yet powerful insecticides to eliminate colonies while preventing future infestations.

c. Integrated pest management (IPM): A holistic approach combining physical barriers, sanitation, and chemical treatments ensures long-term results.
