Guest Speaker
This writer introduced Owner Stan Garfield and Office Manager
Jenna Blake, Garfield Pest Control to the club. Family owned
and staffed, they specialize in the treatment of wood-destroying
insects (carpenter ants, termites, and powder post beetles) and
hornets. With offices in Merrimac and Gilford, they service communities
from southern to central New Hampshire. They take special pride
in proper diagnosis and treatment of pest problems. The vast
majority of their business is dealing with carpenter ants, whose
workers often invade homes in search of food. These ants may
excavate moist, rotting wood and other soft materials (such as
foamed plastic insulation board). They hibernate during the winter
unless they are in a heated portion of the building. Ants can
survive harsh winters because they have a natural antifreeze
in their bodies. They can also withstand immersion in water up
to 70 hours without drowning. Queen carpenter ants can live 10-25
years under ideal conditions. First nests have to be located
and dealt with, then preventative EPA-approved chemicals are
injected into problematical areas such as around bathroom fixtures.
