We all like to be helped every now and again. If I have a huge cart of groceries and the lady behind only has milk and a screaming child I’ll gladly let her go ahead of me. Just the other day I was 8 cents short of buying something at the register at a gas station. The guy behind noticed, pulled out a dime and threw it on on the counter. Give a little. Get a little.
But not so for one of our own Houston locals. News reports say that Natalie Plummer was recently riding home on her bike from a grocery store. After spotting a speed trap she thought she’d lend one of those aforementioned mentioned helping hands.
Plummer got off her bike up the street and made a homemade sign warning oncoming drivers of the nearby trap. The officer spotted Plummer’s societal “good deed” and simply arrested the women for “standing in the street”. She was booked, jailed, and released on bond 12 hours later.
Plummer denies standing in the road like the officer claims and accuses the officer of making up facts because he knew he couldn’t charge her with holding a paper sign.
Classic.
This, of course, all begs the thought what pests around our houses try to say to one another. As soon as those little insects know they’re infected with Bulwark’s high quality products you’d like to think they’d lend a helping hand on their way out.
“Hey, you might want to invade the next house. I just got here this morning and am already not feeling so hot.”
“Oh. Do these folks have pest control?”
“Worse! They have Bulwark Exterminating”
“OH SHOOT! Cover your mouths kids! Get behind me! RUUUUN!!”
So let’s make a concerted effort to help those around us. Hand the guy in line in front of you a dime if he needs it. Let the mom with a screaming child cut in front of you at the grocery store. And for you insects out there, if you know your house is being serviced by Bulwark, then please, please, please do your own kind a favor and spread the word.

The crazy Raspberry ant is very pervasive and can cause many problems. They can displace other ants, insects, and wildlife. They can cause factory systems to shut down. They can contaminate water sources. They have even cause a few traffic problems when shorting out stop lights. They are indeed a nuisance pest.
Per a local new station, “Raspberry ants are uncontrollable.” The ants invade by the thousands. Treating yourself may provide temporary relief, but they keep coming back. One man reports that he sprays and every night he finds thousands of more dead ants. They just keep coming. They are attracted to your water supply, sugar, and climate controlled shelter. If they get in they will quickly multiply producing thousands of more ants every day. As they spread, they leave pheromones that attract more of their kind. Yes, its not a pretty sight and yes they are difficult to get rid of.
While the raspberry ant isn’t an easy job to take on, it is something that can be controlled. “We have hundreds of successful cases of controlling these difficult ants, right here in Houston. It’s not easy, but with the right product and a dedicated team it can be done.” Bulwark isn’t the only pest control company that would disagree with the reporters stance on controlling raspberry crazy ants. There are other Houston exterminators that have successfully tackled the raspberry ant problem. “It would be a lie to say that others can’t do it. But I can only speak for my own track record.”
You can identify raspberry ants by their spastic walk. They almost look like they are dancing or having convulsions. Crazy is a very good description of them. But not to confuse other black crazy ants with the raspberry ant. Regular crazy ants have longer legs than the raspberry ant. The best treatment plan applies products that will slowly kill of the colony. If you kill of the colony too quickly then you will never get the queen or queens, raspberry ants have more than one queen. Killing off the queens is key to successful Houston ant control.
Raspberry ants may have started in Houston of the docks of a few ships, but they have spread across the state and state lines. Currently, Raspberry ant problems are being found in Georgetown and Round Rock. They are spreading and as a whole, they are probably impossible to control and contain at this point.
