Coachella VALLEY SCORPION CONTROL
COACHELLA VALLEY SCORPION TREATMENT
How To Identify A Scorpion Infestation
Appearance - Scorpions possess a pair of strong pincers, four pairs of legs, and an elongated, segmented tail with a larger tip. They can range from 1 to 7 inches. Scorpions are uniquely shaped; if you have seen one, there is little chance to have mistaken it with another pest.
Behavior - Scorpions are nocturnal, predatory arachnids that locate their prey primarily by sensing vibrations. They prefer warm, dry climates. While many hide under rocks or seek shade most of the day, you may see one walking around in your yard near rocks. Even worse, some may try to beat the heat by coming inside. Scorpions have been known to hide in shoes and clothing which can be a painful experience for you or your family members.
Why You Might Have Scorpions
In the Coachella Valley, Scorpions usually nest outside and will enter your home in search of food and water. (They love to eat crickets). Scorpions commonly make their way into buildings through gaps under doors, windows, and in the foundation. It is also common for them to hitch a ride inside your home by jumping onto firewood, plants, patio furniture, and boxes.
Once they are inside your home, scorpions usually stick to a few favorite areas. Basements, crawl spaces, and garages are popular choices.
Getting rid of any piles of debris, boxes, firewood heaps or dense vegetation around your home can help prevent a scorpion infestation. Check that windows are sealed and closed tightly, and caulk any cracks in your walls or baseboards. Make sure to keep floors, corners, closets and crawl spaces dry and leak-free.
Reasons To Treat Your Scorpion Problem Immediately
Any scorpion sting, including those from scorpions living in the Coachella Valley, can be dangerous to any person or pet that is allergic to insect stings. Even if the victim of a sting is not allergic, a sting is still highly painful, and a doctor should always attend to all Scorpion stings.
Scorpions are not known to breed quickly, but leaving any potential scorpion infestation can lead to an increase in population in or around your home. This increase will also increase the chances of coming into contact with a scorpion with potentially painful results. Call us to perform the Coachella Valley scorpion control can ensure your family is safe from harm.
Coachella VALLEY SPIDER CONTROL
COACHELLA VALLEY SPIDER TREATMENT
How To Identify A Spider Infestation
Appearance - Common house spiders in the Coachella Valley range between 5-8 mm in length, and are usually brown or gray with stripes along their bodies. These arachnids possess several common attributes including their eight legs and two distinct body regions, instead of three like an insect has. These regions are called the cephalothorax – which contains the eyes, mouthparts, and legs, and the abdomen.
Behavior - Spiders are known for their unusual reproductive behaviors; the female house spider can lay as many as 250 eggs into a sac of silk. During their lifetime, they can produce more than 4,000 eggs. If you see spiders in your house, cobwebs or have gotten bitten, you probably have an infestation. Spiders usually only bite when they feel threatened; however, if they become pressed on by a human for any reason they may bite.
Why You Might Have Spiders
Although some spiders in the Coachella Valley like moisture and congregate toward bathrooms, basements, crawl spaces and other damp parts of buildings, others prefer dry, warm areas such as subfloor air vents, and upper corners of rooms and attics.
If your home has many entry points or you have some cracks or openings in walls or by doors, you may be inviting spiders into your home. If there are any rooms or places that do not get traveled through much, then those areas may be where spiders will congregate to stay safe so they can make their webs in peace.
Make sure common entry points, like windows and doors, are all sealed correctly and that cracks within wall foundations are caulked. Screens can help with prevention.
Reasons To Treat Your Spider Problem Immediately
Unfortunately, if you have spiders in your Coachella Valley home or business, there is a significant chance that you have other insects. Since spiders feed on insects, this is often an indication that there is a larger pest problem that will also need to be addressed. (They love Crickets.)
While bites are rare, they can cause allergic reactions in some people. In extremely rare cases, bites from certain species of spiders can be fatal. Spiders will not bite unless provoked, but you may inadvertently provoke a spider in your sleep if they have decided to hang out on your bed which could prompt a bite.
Additionally, spiders spin unattractive webs that make your home or business appear dirty. Coachella Valley spider infestations should be treated by a professional pest control technician.
To ensure effective spider control, Coachella Valley spider control professionals should be brought in to stop the reproduction cycle by removing all webs and egg sacs. We can also effectively eliminate the other insects in your home that the spiders may be feeding on.
Coachella VALLEY TICK CONTROL
COACHELLA VALLEY TICK TREATMENT
How To Identify A Tick Infestation
Appearance - The most common ticks in the Coachella Valley include the deer tick, American dog tick, and lone star tick. They vary in size depending on species, ranging from 1 mm (about the width of the narrow side of a dime) to over a centimeter long after a good meal. They have eight legs and are members of the arachnid family. Ticks have bodies comprised of a small head and larger body.
Behavior - Ticks survive on the blood of animals including mammals, birds, and reptiles. Although they have a preferred host, ticks will feed on anything available - including humans, deer, livestock and dogs and cats. Ticks consume blood during all four of their lifecycles, and as a result, pathogens (organisms that cause diseases in animals they infect) can be carried throughout all stages.
Living near tall grass, large properties or near any type of area with a decent amount of wildlife may make ticks more abundant in your area. Furthermore, having your pets or yourself and your family walk in these areas may cause a tick or two to hitch a ride back to your home, being the precursor to a potential tick problem.
Why You Might Have Ticks
If you live in a wooded area and have cats or dogs, you are more likely to develop a tick infestation. Since many of the Coachella Valley tick species are minuscule, it's hard to spot these parasites, which makes the Coachella Valley tick control especially difficult. They often hitch a ride indoors on your pet, on humans, or on clothing and shoes. After they finish sucking the blood from their host, they will drop off and begin laying eggs. They seek out crevices and cracks indoors, or dark areas below or within furniture.
By cutting your grass short and wearing insect repellent when doing work in thick brushy natural areas, you can take steps toward preventing a tick infestation. If you have ever seen a tick on your pet, or if the Coachella Valley tick infestations are particularly common in your neighborhood, then you may want to consider getting your dog or cat vet-prescribed preventative medication.
Reasons To Treat Your Tick Problem Immediately
Serious diseases such as Lyme disease are spread by the Phoenix Valley ticks. Having them on your property and in your home can cause health problems for yourself and your family. Pinpointing and treating a Coachella Valley tick infestation as soon as possible is extremely important. Our professional Coachella Valley tick control professionals are trained in the most effective tick removal methods.
Coachella VALLEY CRICKET CONTROL
COACHELLA VALLEY CRICKET TREATMENT
How To Identify A Cricket Infestation
Appearance- House crickets are usually a little less than an inch in length, with three dark stripes on their heads. Field crickets are brown or black colored and about an inch long. While most crickets have wings, some do not. Crickets tend to have long antennae, as well as long back legs which are used for jumping.
Behavior - The majority of cricket species like to live in moist places, such as your basement. Many are nocturnal. Crickets can produce a chirping sound, made by rubbing their legs together, often used to find a mate.
Why You Might Have Crickets
Crickets prefer damp environments, such as tall grass, under appliances or basements (depending on the species). Like many other pests, they come inside to seek shelter. Crickets may less frequently seek food in your pantry or gnaw on fabrics in your closet.
Reasons To Treat Your Cricket Problem Immediately
While crickets pose no physical threat, crickets chirping while you are trying to sleep in the Coachella Valley is never fun.
Giving us a call we can provide cricket control so that you do not have to rip apart your Coachella Valley residence just to find out where the incessant chirping is coming from. We will take care of your cricket problem
Coachella VALLEY EARWIG CONTROL
COACHELLA VALLEY EARWIG TREATMENT
How To Identify An Earwig Infestation
Appearance- Earwigs have an intimidating look about them with their pincers on the end of their abdomens, even though they are in reality harmless to humans and pets. Earwigs are only the size of a small bug, ¼ to 1 inch long. Old wives tales state that they will enter your ears - hence the name, which has created an entire culture around the misplaced fear of them.
Behavior - Earwigs tend to prefer damp, peaceful environments. They will feed on plants and plant material they find available. Infestations are easy to pick out because if you see multiple earwigs within your home then most likely there is an earwig problem that needs to be addressed. Earwig control is essential to keeping the problem under control as earwigs can become a nuisance if they begin to reproduce in or around your property.
Why You Might Have Earwigs
Earwigs are simple bugs and are looking for shelter and safety. Homes, apartments or yards can offer a safe place to live and breed.
Keeping your lawn cut and keeping an eye on basements and garages periodically can keep an earwig infestation from occurring, but if it has already become an issue then giving us a call for earwig control is the next best step to reclaiming your Coachella Valley home.
Reasons To Treat Your Earwig Problem Immediately
While most earwigs will only be in your home for shelter, some outdoor earwigs may start to eat your grass or anything in your garden. The damage that can be done is minimal, but any damage done by an earwig problem needs to be addressed. We will come to provide earwig control so that outdoor earwigs do not make it inside your Coachella Valley residence and the earwigs that have made it inside will find a new spot to live in.
COACHELLA VALLEY WASP CONTROL
COACHELLA VALLEY WASP TREATMENT
How To Identify A Wasp Infestation
Appearance - Although there are many different types of wasps in the Coachella Valley, they all share the common attributes of two sets of wings and a thin abdomen. Depending on the species of wasp, they can be black, yellow, blue or even green.
They range in size from tiny to several centimeters long. The Coachella Valley wasps usually fall into one of two categories: social or solitary. Some species of wasps in The Coachella Valley can be very aggressive and can sting multiple times when they feel threatened.
Behavior - Due to the fact that wasps tend to lay eggs in the winter, you may begin to see many wasps in the spring and summer. Wasps will congregate near homes or yards where their nest is. If you begin to see more than just one wasp, or spot a wasp nest, then you may have a wasp infestation.
Why You Might Have Wasps
Wasps need a safe place to live and breed and having a home with an undisturbed awning, wood piles that are left stagnant or a piece of property not bothered, you may be attracting wasps to your residence and property.
The Coachella Valley wasp infestations usually occur outdoors, and the pests only make their way indoors through openings within access points, so it is important to seal any openings. If a wasp nest is near a door or window, they can easily make their way inside and build more nests.
Wasp stings pose many dangers, and allergic reactions are relatively common; additionally, wasps are known to cause damage to woodwork, wallboard or ceiling. This is why removal by a trained Coachella Valley wasp removal specialist is so key.
Reasons To Treat Your Wasp Problem Immediately
Wasp infestations in The Coachella Valley can be dangerous, because, unlike bees, wasps are aggressive and can sting multiple times. Wasp stings will cause mild pain and discomfort. If an allergic reaction occurs, make sure to seek advanced medical attention immediately.
Because wasps are aggressive, do not go near a wasp nest. Having young children or pets poses an even bigger threat as they may provoke the wasps to attack.
Wasp removal should only be handled by a trained, professional Coachella Valley wasp removal professional.
