Pest control provides a way for people to remove rodents and bugs from their homes or businesses in order to maintain sanitation and to prevent the spread of possible diseases carried by these creatures. What you may find interesting is that there are quite a few different approaches that can be taken to this process. Many of the newer sprays and methods that are available through professionals are safer than they ever have been before. Of course, you do need to exercise caution when you are preparing your home for a pest control service.

If you own any pets, you will want to ensure that they are not in the rooms where the technician is spraying the pesticides. While most of the chemicals used are going to be safe when they are dry, you will want to prevent your pet from coming in contact with them. Of course, it is a good idea to consult with the professional you hire to determine the possible risks that your pets and children may face in the contact of these bug-killing chemicals.

For the control of rodents and bugs, you may want to consult with a pest control technician about some of the green forms of products that are available. What you will find is that there are some alternative choices that can prove very effective against these pests and can potentially help to keep your home safer in the process as well.

When working with a pest control company for rodents, one thing you will need to be sure you discuss with them is their pest removal approach. Some companies will place down standard mousetraps. Others will use traps designed to keep the animal alive and then they will be released in the wild after they are removed from your home. In some cases, professionals might use rodent poison, and in this event you will need to ensure that any household pets that you may own don’t end up consuming the poison themselves.

Bugs, in turn, will typically be controlled by the use of certain pesticides. These chemicals are applied to the edges of your floor as well as entry points into the home. While it is being sprayed, some companies will fill in access points for your home to ensure that there is a reduction in the number of insects that gain access to your home.

One thing to keep in mind when you are dealing with any pest control company is that you need to ensure that they are going to stand behind their services. Take the time to explore their service reputation and review the warranty that they provide for your home. That way, you know what you can expect from them and ensure that you are covered from certain pest problems.

Above all, understand that when you have rodents and bugs in your home, not every method will be 100% effective. However, based on your local area, the pest control professional you are working with should be able to provide you with some solutions that will have a significant impact on the pests that you have. Just make sure that you sit down with this expert and go over the choices you will have and ensure that you end up reducing the problem of rodents and bugs in your home.

Ants ?

Ants will invade any structure once a food supply or nest site has been found. Myth: Ants only infest "dirty" areas. There is actually no particular criteria for an ant's habitat other then a nearby source of food and water. Once we obtain control, we suggest continued outside treatments to ensure ants do not re-infest the home. ?

Cockroaches?

A cockroach can live a week without it head. The roach only dies without a mouth, it can't drink water so it dies of thirst. Cockroaches can run up to tree miles in an hour. Young cockroaches need only a crack as thin as a dime (about .5mm wide) to crawl into. Adult males can squeeze into a space of 1.6mm or the thickness of a quarter.?

Rodents ?

Rodents may come in through almost any opening—pet door, holes in walls, missing vent screens, openings around pipes, dryer duct vents, etc. The roof may also be a handy highway into your home. Mice can squeeze through spaces as small as 1/4" wide. Rats can can squeeze through spaces as small as 1/2" wide. Rodents spread disease by constantly giving off hundreds of micro-droplets of urine as they travel around their territory every day.?
 
 
Regular Intruders ?

Depending on where you live, these pests may also enter your home in search of food and shelter.?

Select Pests

?These pests create unique problems and require select treatments. If you choose, Antac can treat your home for one or more of these pests for an additional fee.?

?Antac Pest Control is highly trained and Certified in the State of California for working with Africanized Honeybees. There are many pest control companies in the state of California, but if you want the job done right you will want to use a company that is Africanized Honey Bee (AHB) Certified.

    •    Bee Extermination
    •    Swarm Removal from Trees & Bushes
    •    Opening & Repairing Structures
    •    Sub-Structure Hives
    •    Beehive Eradication
    •    Chimney Tops
    •    Attic Vent Holes
    •    Bee Proofing

Bees enter small cracks or holes in the stucco, roof lines, attic vents, chimneys, plumbing and air conditioning line cuts through exterior walls, and wood beam insertion points of the roof support structure. Africanized "Killer Bees" as well as European honey bees will scout out small entrances in any structure to begin producing honey.

Any hive that has been established in a structure for more than a week or so should definitely be removed. Dead bees and the honeycomb can cause a variety of problems. Some of the primary reasons to consider Beehive Removal are the following:
    •    Dead bees generate an extremely offensive odor
    •    Wax and honey will melt and cause staining and damage to walls
    •    Remaining honey and comb can attract a wide variety of scavengers to the structure (i.e. rats, moths, roaches, ants, etc.)
    •    The smell of honey attracts new colonies of bees that infest both the same location and other areas of the structure.

Drywood Termites

One of the common symptoms of drywood termite attack is the accumulation of tiny, straw-colored fecal pellets inside or beneath infested furniture. These pellets sift from small holes in the surface of infested wood or are pushed out through small round openings maintained by the termites for this purpose. The hard fecal pellets have six distinct, concave surfaces. Signs of termite infestation also include swarming of winged forms in fall and spring and evidence of tunneling in wood.

Subterranean Termites
Infestations of the subterranean termites in a building may be recognized by the swarming of the reproductives in the spring in or about the building, by mud protruding from cracks between boards or beams or along basement joists, by the earthen tubes extending from the soil to the wood, or by the hollowness of the wood in which the insects have been tunneling.

Subterranean Termite Evidence.

Aside from the obvious health concerns regarding their feces and
urine; a rodent infestation can also be the cause of severe
damage to your home as well.

Rodents will chew their way into a building and gnaw on timbers.
Many residential fires have been attributed to rodents chewing on
wires inside the walls.  Every year thousands of dollars are spent
cleaning and sanitizing areas where rodents have nested or
harbored. Any way you look at it, rodents don't belong in your
home.

Closing open vents and filling gaps around plumbing can go a
long way in helping to prevent a hungry rat from crawling into the
house.  While no building can ever be made 100% rodent proof,
with a little creative maintenance and some attention to detail,
together we can make your property more secure.
