With temperatures slowly on the decline, fall has finally made its grand appearance and provided us with a bit of a reprieve from the intense summer heat.

Check out some of our spooktacular fall pest control services below and then give us a call!
Common Fall Pest Control Services
Spider Control
Spiders are one of the most common fall pests in the Folsom area. As a theme commonly used in Halloween decorations, these eight-legged pests have quite a spooky reputation. Sometimes this reputation is justified, and other times it’s not. Spiders like the black widow, the brown widow, and the cellar spider are all poisonous, so it is wise to steer clear of them. Other spiders, like the common house spider, are virtually harmless. It can be difficult to identify spiders when your adrenaline is pumping and it is always wise to call in a pest professional for spider control to ensure the safety of your family.
Rodent Control
If you have ever caught sight of something scurrying across the floor out of the corner of your eye, then you know all too well the immediate sense of panic that sets in. You might even let out a scream that is worthy of a Hollywood thriller if you think you catch sight of a rat or mouse in your home, and for good reason. These pests are bad news for many reasons. First, rodents are direct transmitters of Hantavirus, leptospirosis, plague, tularemia, and many other concerning diseases. Beyond that, they love chewing through plumbing lines and electrical wires, which can cause significant damage to your home. Professional rodent control is the best way to remove these troublesome pests from your home.
Ant Control
Ants might not seem like that big of a deal, especially if you only see a couple around your house here and there. It is true that many types of ants are more of a nuisance than anything else, but there are several species that can actually hurt people and cause damage to structures. For example, fire ants and bulldog ants are both known for packing a powerful, painful sting that causes extreme discomfort. Carpenter ants have strong mandibles that allow them to burrow and set up nests in wood framing members that can compromise the structural integrity of a building. There are other types of ants in Folsom that can spell trouble, and our ant control experts are here when you need us most.
Bed Bug Treatments
While bed bugs are pretty much always a constant threat regardless of the season, we commonly see infestations increase during the fall and winter. This is not because bed bugs are migratory or because they are seeking out a warm place to live. Rather, it is because people tend to travel a lot in the fall and winter because of the holiday season. These pests are incredibly difficult to eradicate, primarily because they are resistant to many of the chemical pesticides on the market today. However, there are effective bed bug treatments to get rid of the bugs without the use of harmful chemicals, and you can rest assured that our team is up-to-date on all the most effective bed bug extermination techniques.
