Prince, visited my home on April 16, 2010. First visit, by Bulwark. Had another company, but let them go for poor service. If this visit is a sign of things to come, will be a long term customer of Bulwark. Prince was friendly, and very outgoing. He was really interested in taking good care of my home, and pets. Already seeing signs that there product works, so am completely satisfied.
The technician, Tyler T., that treated my home today called me to let me know that upon his arrival he noticed that my backdoor was left wide open. Although I had already received a call from my home security company and was on my way home to find out what happened, I was very much appreciative of the extra step Tyler took to ensure that my home was safe and secure. When I arrived home, I noticed that he was waiting down the street for my arrival. Great customer service! Additionally, each and everytime I speak with a representative from Bulwark they always go out of their way to make sure I that I am a happy customer. Customer service is extremely important to me and the excellent service that I receive from Bulwark will keep me a customer for a long time to come!
Thank you klamaestra1 for writing a Bulwark Exterminating customer review and thanks to Tyler for doing a job-well-done! Continue to be the great exterminator that you are!

Well, at least that’s what thousands of live cockroaches spelled earlier this week in Dallas in front of Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s (DART) Mockingbird Station. In a unique publicity stunt, The Dallas Observer reported that a local pest control company raised a billboard in front of DART’s station in an attempt to remind the passing public that cockroaches can carry up to 33 infectious deseases, including E. coli. The billboard was only on display for an afternoon, and the cockroaches are said to have returned to the roach farm from which they came.
We certainly hope all the cockroaches are accounted for back at the farm. Otherwise, there could be a few stowaways traveling in and around the greater Dallas metropolitan area. Be on the lookout for any hitchhikers in your luggage. And if asked if traveling alone, just tell them that is your best assumption.
No one likes cockroaches. They’re dirty. They’re icky. They’re dirty and icky.
While most of us see absolutely no purpose for these invading pests, scientists have begun to apply principles of nature to the study lab. For years scientists have struggled to perfect the workings of human robotics. Meaning, they could develop a robotic hand to grab a coffee mug off a table, but it couldn’t grab it that well. It could never pick up that mug in the same way a human hand would. Variables such as weight, size and balance could not be computed fast enough that a robot could compensate for those unknown and changing variables fast enough. What if that same robotic hand went from picking up a 10 pound bag of potatoes to a 2 ounce campaign glass? How would it decipher how much force and leverage to use to pick up both items in a safe and efficient manner?

Inside Science New Service tells us that professor Robert Full from UC Berkeley began studying the walking mechanics of cockroaches almost 30 years ago. His studies and findings over those years have recently influenced scientists Robert Howe (Harvard) and Aaron Dollar (Yale) as they have begun to redesign their version of a robotic hand. Cockroaches are able to travel at higher speeds (relatively speaking) along very uneven surfaces. The actual mechanics of their legs, working in unison, help compensate for bumps along the road.
So as Howe and Dollar have taken a special interest in our dirty and icky little friends, let’s not forget that even cockroaches can show us a thing to two.
