  How often should I check my home for termites?

  Termites can cause significant damage in only 3 years therefore we recommend that you should have an inspection every 2-3 years. However if you already notice some signs of termite activity in your home, such as damaged timber, mud tubes or flying termites, then you should have a professional inspection immediately.

  Termite activity could have been going on for years before signs become visible. So it is important to identify the species of termite and get an assessment of the extent of the infestation and damage caused.

  How do I get rid of ants?

  First you should identify the type of ant that is on your property as different species have different behaviour and methods of control. The invasive fire ant is harder to control and can give a nasty sting so this species needs to be handled carefully.

  There are many insecticide products available for DIY control, but you still require some knowledge about ant behaviour to use them effectively. In many cases they are not used successfully. There are also many myths about DIY control for ants using home remedies.

  Are there DIY products for controlling bed bugs

  There are some practical measures you can take to control bed bugs that are immediately visible, such as inspecting the right places, vacuuming, washing bedding at high temperature.

  We do not recommend the DIY application of insecticides for bed bugs in the home because of the risk of using too much in places where they are not effective.

  Our pest controllers are highly trained in identifying all the places where bed bugs can hide, using the most effective and safe treatments and have treatments not available to the home owner, such as heat treatment for rooms.

  Call us at (916) 929-7727 or contact us online to arrange a bed bug inspection.
