Eliminate Wasps from your Garden and Patio!

The first thought for many homeowners is to crush wasps, but when wasps are crushed, their bodies release a chemical pheromone that draws other wasps that are close to the nest. A skilled pest control tech from Official Pest Prevention will try to take away the hive or destroy the hive with commercial chemicals sprays. The method used will depend on the severity of the wasp problem close to your home and how many trees, flowers and if there is a forest in your immediate area.

Since spiders are arachnids and not insects, they exhibit different mannerisms, which means some of the techniques used to treat insect infestations do not always work for spider problems. When our technician is in your home, they will thoroughly examine the interior and exterior. Any spiders they spot can be killed with a direct spray. The technician may also spray in various areas of the home, which includes the crawl space or basement. To prevent spiders from gravitating to your house, the technician may take away their food source -- other bugs -- by coping with other pest.

We have a solution to your ant problem!

 If your home or yard is plagued with invading insects, the first step to getting the problem under control is identifying the unique varieties of ant. Our pest control technician will inspect inside and outside of your home to locate all areas of ants. Often the technician will recommend sealing any gaps and crevices in order to prevent ants from entering your home, and he will also recommend any preventive measures you will need to take to reduce the problem. Usually, a combination of baiting and commercial insecticide sprays prove to be an effective approach to most ant problems.

Mice and Rats

Mice and rat infestations tend to begin in the fall as a result of dropping temperatures. Rodents will consume any food discarded by humans, and they can fit through the tiniest of openings to enter your home. Rats can get through a half inch opening, about the size of a thumb. Mice only need half that space, about the size of a little finger. Besides being creepy to have around, rats and mice cause problems by gnawing on electrical wires and wooden structures such as doors, ledges, corners, and wall material. They also tear up insulation in walls and ceilings for nesting material.

Official Pest Prevention will eliminate rodents from your home, and prevent them from returning.

Mice can be fairly challenging to eliminate. All cracks and crevices must be sealed, which includes dryer vents and pipe openings. Food needs to be put away at all times, and the house must always be kept clean. Snare traps may be appropriate for a tiny mice problem; however, poisons administered by a pest control technician are the best way to stop a large mice infestation. Once a mouse ingests the poison, it will go back to its nest and spread the poison to other mice. The technician will carefully spot the poison to prevent access to pets.
