- AntsIn a nutshell, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the philosophy of using every possible tool at your disposal to help solve specific pest control problems. A good example of this might be eliminating an interior ant problem by simply trimming bushes and trees so that they are not physically touching the structure that we are trying to control. Then, the ants are forced to come into contact with our exterior chemical control measures, before they are able to appear inside. These same ants, can be killed on contact with just soapy water (call for details). The soapy water is meant to be a temporary fix, until we can arrive and determine the best, specific treatment to use for that species of ant.
- Spiders- Most people seem to have a very low tolerance for spiders. Here in the Las Vegas Valley, we have many spiders that we deal with. The two spiders of main concern, are the Black Widow and the Desert Brown spiders. The Black Widow is going to exist almost exclusively outside.
- Cockroaches*Cockroaches - The bad news on cockroaches is that they are not "water bugs" and they are everywhere. The good news is that most of our roaches in the Las Vegas Valley are exterior roaches and really don't want to be inside our homes. It's possible that on any given property, we can see an Oriental Roach, American Roach or a Turkistan Roach. These guys are all ugly and despised in and around our homes. Our general treatment is extremely successful in controlling all of these roaches. The materials that we use provide overnight results and in most cases are sufficient enough to control even the worst roach problems.
- Bees*Bees - Africanized bees are very common in our valley. This is important to note because of the manner with which these "killer" bees defend their colonies. Bees (including Africanized) are vital to our planet so the challenge becomes how do we share our space with them. In many cases, doing nothing is the appropriate treatment for a swarm of bees but in those instances where control measures are needed, we can handle it.
- Crickets- Sometimes mistakenly called a vinegaroon. This guy gets a bad rap. In fact, the argument could be made that this "bug" is actually beneficial. It doesn't even have venom. It is a great predator of roaches, crickets, spiders and potentially scorpions. It is active at night and is quite fast. Yes, it's quite ugly and scary looking but the pro's outweigh the con's. Chemical control can be tough (for a variety of reasons) so potential alterations to the property might be more successful when trying to reduce their numbers.
- Earwigs*Earwigs - These guys are crafty little devils. Because of their size, they can easily invade indoors and are most commonly seen alive. They can get inside our homes almost anywhere. Our general treatment does a fine job on them but the dead earwigs are really hard to spot whereas the alive earwigs are quite noticeable.
- Scorpions*Scorpions - This has become one of our two most common complaints. We actually imported the Bark Scorpion to our valley and they have done a fine job of establishing themselves. They love our climate and have demonstrated a very successful ability to reproduce in our valley. This problem will only continue to grow, the evidence supports that. Neighborhood awareness, chemicals and specific property changes are crucial in trying to minimize the number of scorpions that are on your property. We even offer nighttime services to maximize your results! Scorpions are easily detected at night with the proper tools. This treatment can go a long way in helping the residents to achieve their desired goals.
- RodentsWe have rodent control plans to fit every budget. We locate and identify the reasons that the rodents are on your property in the first place. From there, all of our rodent control programs are designed to fit the specific needs of the property and client.
- RatsBasic, low cost programs solve many of the rat problems we encounter. More complex, detailed and comprehensive rodent programs are available too. We know the reasons that rat control programs fail. There are NO hidden fees and you the client, have the final say as to which program best suits you and your property. A detailed inspection will be provided and gone over.
