General Pest Control

California is home to the most richly diverse insect population in the country, home to roughly thirty percent of the 91,000 insect species that inhabit The United States. With tens of thousands of species, you will likely have an unwanted run-in with pests inside of your home. Whether it is termites, ants, or cockroaches, insect infestations can become a real nuisance, overwhelming homeowners before they realize the severity of their problem. Protect your home in the Golden State from undesired pests before they have left a lasting mark.

There are over seven hundred species of ants in the United States, and many may end up in your home, ranging from the Carpenter Ant to the Red Imported Fire Ant. Though you may not think of ants when you think of severe insect infestations, they can pose severe risks to your property. Carpenter Ants can leave a lasting mark on your home over a long time span, usually by points of entry or where wood can be exposed to moisture. They will chew holes in the wooden structures around your home to make space to lay their eggs. They can also create satellite nests throughout your home, further expanding the reach of the colony. Then there is the Argentine Ant, which is so abundant and ferocious that they are changing California's ecosystem.  

As one of the most opportunistic scavengers on the planet, cockroaches are found in all types of buildings and are a severe hazard to your health. Infestations can quickly get out of hand as these pests are notoriously hard to eradicate on your own. Typhoid, salmonella, and other types of bacteria can be spread by these disgusting pests, making their removal a high priority. There are 5 roaches that plague Northern California, with the Turkestan Cockroach being the fastest growing population.

Silverfish have been on earth for over 400 million years. They thrive in warm, humid environments, making California a beautiful place to live. These ancient creepy crawlers aren’t physically or biologically harmful to humans; that is, they are not known to bite or carry disease-causing pathogens, but they can destroy your belongings and quickly infest your home. Silverfish will even eat human hair that has fallen on the ground, making them a very adaptable and formidable pest!
