Bell Environmental is a New Jersey-headquartered company so you may ask what took us so long to get to Bruce Springsteen as part of our Insect Music Friday blog series. Without any further wait, here’s “Wrecking Ball.” Why this one, of all of Bruce’s songs, you may ask? Because the lyrics include the line: “Now my
We and our children are fans and avid readers of Mo Willems’ pigeon series, especially the book “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus,” (available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble) and turned into a clever video on YouTube. But pigeons are a nuisance bird for reasons other than wanting to drive public transportation.
It took us a few weeks, but we got to one of our favorite Rock-n-Roll pioneers, Bully Holly & the Crickets, (and a direct inspiration for the Beatles.) Enjoy and have a great weekend!
We’ve been writing a lot about bed bug humor (and even included a clever routine from a stand up comic in our first blog on this topic), but now we’re turning our attention to a different kind of bed bug comic: comic books! We were big comic book fans when we were young and enjoy all
The Fourth of July holiday week isn’t going to stop us from posting our Insect Music Friday blog. Today: The Cars, the best American New Wave band. (We’ll see if we get any dissenting comments from Blondie and Talking Head-lovers.) For our Insect Music Friday, we bring you the first video from Heartbeat City. If
We came across a new pest control product and were instantly reminded of the ending of the comedy classic Caddyshack, in which Bill Murray, as Carl the golf course groundskeeper, uses explosives to try to eliminate the gopher that bedeviled him the whole movie. Now see the Rodentator, a real(?) pest control product, in action!
In honor of this week’s blockbuster movie The Amazing Spider-Man, our Insect Music Series is expanding to include some “Arachnid Music” - Specifically, the Ramones’ cover of the Spider-Man cartoon theme song. Has there ever been a better song for a superhero TV show or movie? Prince’s Bat Dance doesn’t come close. Neither does that Nickelback Spider-Man song
The New York Times recently wrote about how Indian city New Delhi is overrun with monkeys. We’re glad this is a problem we don’t have to solve here in the New York region. We don’t get calls about mice, rats, roaches, pigeons, and bed bugs “entering homes, ripping out wiring, stealing clothes and biting those
Thanks for all your requests for our Insect Music series, published on Fridays on this blog. We’re glad to be back this week with the PG-version of Papa Roach’s “Last Resort.” (Yes, PG is read as “sensored,” but are curses really hidden when the words are silenced or bleeped, and you can still easily fill
This is the best summary that we’ve seen of the recent study that over the counter foggers don’t work to eliminate bed bugs. Thanks to the Atlantic Magazine for boiling it down. In sum, foggers don’t reach the places bed bugs hide. And if the fog does reach the insects, the chemicals most likely don’t kill
