Trusted Saskatoon Pest Control Expert provide us with a tip on Wasps and Bees

 

Here we share a tip on Wasps and Bees:

 

 

When do you call an exterminator?

Here are a few tips to follow when to deciding whether to make that call or head down to Kreepy Kritterz new store for some Pro Attack Wasp and Hornet Killer.

First of all – DO NOT panic! That will likely make things worse. DON’T go throwing water on it, hitting with a hockey stick and most of all DON’T use a gasoline soaked rag – we’re trying to exterminate the wasps, not us.

Take a look to see if you can find the hive. If the hive is visible, in an open space, and within arm’s reach, you should be able to take care of it on your own – also make sure you have an escape route. Come on into the store and we’ll get you the right product to take care of it. We’ll also provide any instruction to lessen your chance of being stung. Wasps do not bite!

 However, if you see any wasps heading into a cavity of some sort – like under your steps, the concrete or into the wall, or if you find them in a small space like your shed, it’s time to call your personal pest control professionals at Kreepy Kritterz Pest Control for a treatment. We have the experience and the right tools and machines to deal with it right away. We’ll determine where the hive is and take care of it for you.

Here are few fun facts about those wasps!

 

  • End of July – early August they really start to multiply, a hive can double in size over a 2 week time period.
  • Mid August – Early September they start to get more aggressive. They are now protecting their hives.   
  • Every time a wasp stings, you become more allergic
  • They will try to sting you repeatedly
  • Wasp colonies are about 50 – 250+ wasps on average.

So what about Bees?

Bees are not that aggressive, and bees, like the leafcutter Bees, are essentially harmless, and are less likely to sting you

Bees will sting you if it’s a matter of life or death – because for them, it is. They don’t last long after they sting you.

Fun facts about Bees!

  • These are the most common bees in our area - Bumblebees, Honeybees and Leafcutter Bees
  • Bumblebee colonies are about 50-100 bees
  • Bumblebees range from very small to extremely large and kind of look silly while flying. They are typically a bit rounder and robust.
  • Honeybee’s colonies are massive in numbers. They will range from 5,000-75,000.
  • Honeybee’s are typically more have slender, wasp – like bodies and have more stripes than bumblebees.
  • It is rare to see a swarm of bees, yet it is very interesting if you do see one.
  • Leafcutter bees are solitary bees. Their life span is approx 1-2 months and will produce approx 5 young in that time.
  • Leafcutter bees cut the leaves of plants and roll the pieces up to create nest cells.
  • Leafcutter bees are also very important pollinators.   

 

If you’re having trouble with bees – you should always be calling a professional.  

So why always contact a professional? 

We recommend not exterminating them! A professional beekeeper will help relocate them if possible.  If the honey is not properly removed it will become an attractant for not only new honeybee colonies, but will also attract wasps, and hornets. Everything likes honey! 

So next time you see some kritterz buzzing around, you’ll know what to do!  

Trusted Saskatoon Mortgage Experts share a tip on Mortgage Payment Frequency Options


Mortgage Payment Frequency Options

 

 

When it comes to deciding how often you’d like to make your regular mortgage payments, you can choose which mortgage payment frequency option will best benefit you. You have the option to synchronize your mortgage payments with your pay schedule. In Canada, you can choose from five different mortgage payment options: monthly, bi-weekly, accelerative bi-weekly, or accelerated weekly. Since most employees get paid bi-weekly, this schedule option is the most popular.

Some payment frequencies actually accelerate your mortgage repayment allowing you to reduce the total amount of interest you pay over the life of your mortgage. Choosing an accelerated payment also gets you out of mortgage debt years sooner.

What Are Your Options?


Monthly Mortgage Payment

A monthly mortgage payment is when your mortgage payment is withdrawn from your bank account on the same day of every month (i.e. on the 1st). With a monthly mortgage payment, you make 12 payments per year.


Bi-weekly Mortgage Payment

A bi-weekly mortgage payment is when your monthly mortgage payment is multiplied by 12 months and divided by the 26 pay periods in a year. With a bi-weekly mortgage payment, you make 26 payments per year.

 

Accelerated Bi-weekly Mortgage Payment

An accelerated bi-weekly mortgage payment is when your monthly mortgage payment is divided by two and the amount is withdrawn from your bank account every two weeks. With an accelerated bi-weekly mortgage payment, you still make 26 payments per year but the payment amount is slightly more than a regular bi-weekly mortgage payment.

 

Weekly Mortgage Payment

A weekly mortgage payment is when your monthly mortgage payment is multiplied by 12 months and divided by the 52 weeks in a year. With a weekly mortgage payment, you make 52 payments per year.

 

Accelerated Weekly Mortgage Payment

An accelerated weekly mortgage payment is when your monthly mortgage payment is divided by four and the amount is withdrawn from your bank account every week. With an accelerated weekly mortgage payment, you still make 52 payments per year but the payment amount is slightly more than a regular weekly mortgage payment.

 

 The Benefit of Accelerated Payments

The one major difference between regular and accelerated payments is how the payment is calculated. With an accelerated payment option, you end up making roughly one extra payment a year. It’ll cost you a little more on a monthly basis, but will save you thousands in interest and help you pay off your mortgage even sooner.
