Ant Prevention And Control Tips From Oakland Exterminators

Ants are much more likely to be attracted to your dwelling and stay there if you incentivize them. If they find easy access points into the dwelling, they are likely to investigate. If they find food and shelter in an area where they are relatively undisturbed, they are likely to stay. The best approaches to ant control are targeted at fixing these areas.

Inspect/Seal: Careful inspections around the outside of the building can identify easy access points that can draw the curiosity of ants. Sealing them up effectively will vastly decrease the chances that ants will enter the building, and is the best source of DIY ant control.
Clean: What looks like clutter to us can look like home to ants. Maintaining a clean environment can discourage foraging ants from deciding to stay.
Don’t Feed Them: Ants like to eat close to where they live. Keeping work spaces clean of foods – even in garbage storage areas – can work wonders in keeping ants from becoming a problem.

Patriot Pest Control has the extensive expertise and equipment to assist you in showing ants the door. All it takes is an online contact form submitted to our local office.

The Do's And Don'ts Of Controlling Stinging Insects In Oakland

Some insect invasions are problematic in that they can cause significant damage to dwellings or equipment. Others can cause sickness and stigma among either employees or homeowners. Stinging insects, however, bring a whole new level of concern in that they can actually cause physical harm. If you discover an infestation of stinging insects, there are several things you can do - and several things you should avoid doing - in order to address them effectively.

Don’t:

Overreact or panic. Now that you’ve identified the problem, you can work toward an effective solution. Help is right around the corner with Patriot Pest Management.
Attempt to deal with the problem yourself. The National Institute of Health noted over 10,000,000 Emergency Department hospitalizations due to stinging insects between 2001 and 2010. Stings cost Americans more than $7.5 billion dollars in direct medical costs and lost workplace productivity every year.

Do:

Conduct routine inspections in order to catch potential problems sooner rather than later.
Stay away from identified infestations to avoid becoming a victim of stings.
Notify family members or employees of potential stinging insect infestations in order to keep everyone safe.
Promptly contact skilled professionals who are trained how to safely and effectively deal with the problem, in order to return to normal as soon as possible.

Given the dangers and severity of stinging insects, quick action to resolve the problem is the best course of action. Patriot Pest Management is here to serve you in restoring the safety of your business or home. Get in contact with our Oakland office building to explore your stinging insect control options.
