Bed bugs are an unfortunate find in many homes and businesses each year, and no place is exempt. It’s also important to note that bed bugs can be active during all months of the year, though only adult bed bugs can survive the Minnesota winters.
Oftentimes, reports of bed bugs increase after the holidays because of the increase in the number of visitors to one’s home or business. Bed bugs often “hitchhike” into a home

It is common knowledge that Minnesota deals with extreme dips in the temperatures in the winter months (dropping from a summer average of 75oF to a bone-chilling average of 12oF in the peak of winter). It’s not only the humans that get cold and seek warmth during this season, but pests are also on the hunt for warmth. Unfortunately, that warmth is, more often than not, found in your homes and businesses.
Perhaps we’ve all been there, we open a box of decorations that have been in storage all year and out comes a bug. It gives us the creeps! Perhaps you’ve seen signs of critters being around.

The same chemical makeup that makes popular pesticides so deadly to pests can also be dangerous
Cockroaches are among the top pests that plague homes. Worldwide, there are over 4,000 species of roaches. Thankfully, there are only four main species that are commonly found. We know, this is four too many! The pest control specialists at EcoTech are ready to help you rid yourself of roaches, if you find them in your home or business.
