We offer specific as well as general pest control in Big Bear Lake, California. In the pest control industry, new systems and products are always being developed to take care of pests. As these improvements advance and grow, the general goal is to lower the impact on the environment and on other animals that aren't being targeted. Some of the most recent pest control products are used to get rid of the following insects:
Spiders
Spiders are actually fairly harmless to have in and around your home. Some people even like having them around because they often help keep the level of other household insects in check by eating them; they actually do a pretty good job of this. Still, you need to be aware of some of the problems they can present. First, a spider infestation is not good, if you think seeing one is bad, imagine seeing thousands of them scurrying all over the place and all over everything. It is not a pretty site. Also, while most are harmless, others are quite dangerous. Some, like the Black Widow can inflict painful and serious venomous bites.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) get their name from their reputation as being the worst bedfellows. These insects lay dormant during the daylight hours in small cracks and crevices, including mattress seams, furniture, sheets, behind baseboards, and electrical outlets. And like all parasitic vampires, bed bugs emerge at night (peak activity being between midnight and 7 a.m.) looking for warm bodies on which to feast. Bed bugs are tiny bloodsuckers – only about an eighth on an inch in length. They’re recognizable by their reddish-brown color and flat, oval-shaped bodies.
Fleas
The population of fleas has been rising in recent years as these pests become increasingly resistant to traditional methods of treatment. Fleas in the house can be very difficult to control because of the resistance they have developed. They can pose a serious health risk to humans and pets. Fleas will feed on the blood of any warm-blooded body and typically leave behind itchy, unsightly marks and can cause severe allergic reactions as well. If you suspect a flea infestation in your home, it is important to contact a licensed pest professional, immediately to rid your home of fleas and help prevent future occurrences.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches may become pests in homes, schools, restaurants, hospitals, warehouses, offices, and virtually in any structure that has food preparation or storage areas. They contaminate food and eating utensils, occasionally damage fabric and paper products, leave stains on surfaces, and produce unpleasant odors when present in high enough numbers. When cockroaches that live outdoors come into contact with human excrement in sewers or with pet droppings, they have the potential to transmit bacteria that cause food poisoning (Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp.) if they enter into structures. German cockroaches are believed to be capable of transmitting diseasecausing organisms such as Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., hepatitis virus, and coliform bacteria.
They also have been implicated in the spread of typhoid and dysentery. Indoor infestations of cockroaches are an important source of allergens and risk for asthma among some populations.
Wasps
While many homeowners believe the best way to deal with wasps is to crush them, the truth is that when wasps are crushed, their bodies release a chemical pheromone that draws other wasps close by to their nests. That’s why our seasoned pest control techs will either remove the hive directly or destroy it with commercial chemicals sprays. Our method will depend on the severity of the wasp problem, the proximity to your home, and whether there are trees, flowers, or a forest nearby.
