About this service

Palmetto bugs, a type of large cockroach, often enter homes looking for water or through sewer lines. Control requires sealing entry points and applying treatments in areas where they hide, like bathrooms and laundry rooms. You need this service if you are seeing these large bugs frequently, especially near drains. They are difficult to get rid of on your own because they hide so well. Costs depend on the number of entry points. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer heat creates the perfect environment for pest populations to explode. Common summer pests like wasps, mosquitoes, and roaches are at their most active point of the year. Keeping your home protected during these months is essential to enjoy your space comfortably. If you notice an increase in bug sightings, reach out to get a professional assessment.

Frequently asked in Downey

What do technicians look for when treating carpenter ants in Downey?

When treating carpenter ants in Downey, technicians look for frass (sawdust-like material), listen for faint rustling sounds within walls, and inspect for the ants themselves and their galleries. They identify the primary nest and satellite nests. Treatment involves targeted applications of insecticides directly to the nests and surrounding areas to eliminate the colony. Prevention advice focuses on moisture control and wood-to-ground contact.

What's the process for controlling fox pests in Downey?

Controlling fox pests in Downey primarily involves exclusion and deterrents, as they are often protected wildlife.
