Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Schedule Pest Control in Fresno?

Most homes in Fresno do best with a visit every two to three months. In our experience, pest pressure shifts with the seasons. Summer heat dries out soil and sends ants and spiders looking for water inside your home, and cooler months push rodents toward attics and wall voids. 

Treatments also lose strength as sprinklers, sun, and rain wear on products around the foundation, so a single application leaves gaps before the next wave of pests arrives.

Some properties need closer spacing, including homes with a history of rats, yards with heavy irrigation, and lots near open space. A newer home with few problems can often stretch the schedule. 

Are Your Treatments Safe for Kids and Pets?

Yes, our treatments are safe for kids and pets. Tell your technician where your pets spend time and we will plan treatment around those areas.

What Are Signs of Termites in My Home?

Common signs include mud tubes along foundation or crawl space walls, discarded wings near windows and doors, and wood that sounds hollow or feels soft when tapped. Drywood termites also leave small pellets near infested wood. Damage often sits behind walls, so a WDI inspection finds activity before surface signs show.

Why Am I Getting Bitten by Mosquitoes During the Day?

Daytime bites in Fresno often come from Aedes aegypti, a small, dark mosquito with white markings and banded legs. This species bites most often during the day, and often indoors. Clearing yard drains and standing water around your home removes the breeding sites, which is where our treatments start.

Why Are Ants Coming into My Kitchen in the Summer?

The most likely cause is Argentine ants. Dry summer heat drives them to look for water, so trails show up at sinks, faucets, and drains even in a clean kitchen. Wiping trails with soapy water and removing food slows them down, but the colony outside keeps sending workers until treatment reaches the nests.
