Due to a mild winter and the early onset of the spring season, not only are insects appearing earlier but so is the wildlife in Arkansas. As more and more of the natural world becomes developed, it opens the gates for wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and skunks to start scavenging for food in urban areas and unfortunately for homeowners in Conway and Little Rock as well as elsewhere in Arkansas, trash cans, bird feeder and even grills can become likely targets for raccoons and other animals.

Every Thanksgiving, while most people in Little Rock, Benton and throughout Arkansas are giving thanks for their families, good health and employment, this year I am taking a moment to give thanks to McCauley Services and their year round pest control coverage.
