Living in Bakersfield, you get used to the presence of pests; or, at least, you better get used to it. Because they’re definitely going to be around! Ants, cockroaches, rats, mice, mosquitoes, termites and wasps are all familiar to Bakersfield residents. We live in a dry, arid part of California that’s full of agriculture. And that makes it a major breeding ground for all kinds of wildlife, including pests.
So what kind of pest control services do you need? Well, that depends on your problem. Here’s when you definitely should contact us for a little professional care:
- A termite infestation
You need termite treatment – but what kind? That depends on the extent of the infestation. You see, when termite problems are small, we can utilize spot treatments, like heat or the Electro Gun (which sounds a little cooler than it is). But once a termite infestation becomes widespread, your only option is structural fumigation.
And if you don’t deal with your small termite infestation, it will become widespread soon enough. Don’t put this off.
- Cockroaches
For starters, you need to do a better job cleaning your kitchen. A clean kitchen will go a very long way toward curbing pest problems. But a cockroach infestation deserves to be addressed, because annoyance and contaminated food isn’t all you need to worry about. Roaches carry all sorts of nasty diseases and bacteria, and they could spread it to you or your children. And since these critters can survive nuclear blasts, it really behooves you to hire professional help here.
- Bed bugs
Look, if you want to try to solve a bed bug problem on your own, don’t let me stop you. But I really wouldn’t recommend it. You can read a lot more about bed bugs on our blog, but let’s just say they’re difficult to manage. And since they also like to move around, they can be a nightmare to exterminate. Call in the professionals to handle this problem quickly, before it gets out of hand. Because guess how we deal with a deeply entrenched bed bug infestation? Structural fumigation.
