The Benefits Of Professional Pest Control For Your Pleasanton Home

There isn’t a season here in Pleasanton where pests are not trying to invade homes. We have warm and cold weather pests and those that do not care what the temperature is outside. Keeping this in mind, homeowners experience the most problems with invasive species during the summer months and in late fall and early winter. During colder weather, many pests that don’t typically invade, look to homes as a place to shelter through the colder months, including boxelder bugs, stink bugs, and ladybugs. The question is, is having pests indoors really that bad?

There are many different pests, but not all cause the same problems. The issues that various types of pests cause can be separated into three main categories; annoyances, destructive behavior, and a direct threat to human health. Almost all invasive species are annoying with how they crawl or fly through living areas. Some local invaders, including cockroaches, rodents, wasps, bees, and some species of ants, are also a direct threat. Cockroaches, rodents, and certain ants carry and spread disease-causing organisms indoors. Wasps and bees are venomous and occasionally bite people.

Conversely, some pests threaten property, like carpenter ants, carpenter bees, termites, wildlife, and silverfish. Carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and termites destroy wood. Wildlife damages trash cans, screens, plants, bird baths, and other ornate features. Pests like silverfish invade living areas and chew up rugs, clothing, drapes, and other fabric-based items. As a quick summary, there are a lot of invasive species you do not want to spend time with in or around your home.

As you already know, pests can be dangerous. What is also dangerous is trying to utilize commercial pest control products without the proper training. Many conventional pesticides contain harmful chemicals that can get people and animals sick when ingested. Another reason to avoid DIY pest control is that it is challenging. Most invasive species that live in our area are great at avoiding danger and will quickly hide inside wall voids, attic spaces, and other secluded areas when faced with harm. Unless you know how to deal with these pests properly, it is best that you leave the care of your home to a dependable pest control company.
