Top Pests in Fall
The Autumn leaves will soon begin to “fall” and with the cooler temperatures we will see a slight change in some of our usual pests. So grab that Halloween bin out of storage (don’t forget to check for spiders) and find out what pests you should be on the look out for this season.
Pests in Fall
Bees- One insect that seemed to have stayed with us all year long. Given the important roll bees play in nature, them being in our presents as much as they have been isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, if a bee colony has taken up residence outside, or sometimes even inside the walls of your home, or business there can “bee” a problem. Black Knight Pest Control is aware of the importance bees play in nature and will strive to safely remove, and relocate the colony when it is possible. Black Knight Pest Control Service Professionals will always work with local bee keepers in the area, to help relocate the bees safely so that they can continue to thrive.
Rodents- Rats and mice can be a problem all year long. Each month extracts different behavior from rodents. When the temperature begins to cool rodents will make their way indoors in search of shelter. That is if they haven't already. Rodents hide out in sub areas, crawl spaces, attics, and basements, scheduling a rodent inspection is key in eliminating a rodent infestation. Getting an educated assessment by a Rodent Control Professional can give you great insight into the rats creating a problem on your property. When dealing with a rodent problem, time is not something you want to waste. Rodents can cause health problems to humans, and your pets. Living in the Riverside, Temecula area, there are many homes that are surrounded by open fields which usually means rodents are not too far. Black Knight’s Rodent Division is specially trained in eliminating a rodent problem. Not only will Black Knight Rodent Control exterminate a rodent problem, but Black Knight will also do a rodent clean out. Never leaving a homeowner to deal with the mess rodents will leave behind.
Cockroaches- Cockroaches- It doesn’t seem like there is ever a time of year that cockroaches are not active. These bacteria ridden pests are a regular sighting in Temecula, indoors and out. Getting rid of a roach problem upon the first sighting is crucial! Black Knight Pest Control offers a Guaranteed Cockroach Extermination Service. A cockroach problem will spread rapidly. If you own a restaurant, or winery here in Temecula’s Wine Country a roach problem is definitely damaging to a business. Black Knight proudly serves local businesses with roach extermination.
Bed Bugs- These hitchhiking pests are still hanging around this month. As the public is wrapping up their summer vacations bed bugs are making way back home hidden in bags, and luggage. Black Knight Pest works together with sister company Thermal Heat Pest to safely, and effectively exterminate bed bugs without use of harsh chemicals. Instead of chemicals that are ineffective in treating bed bugs, Thermal Heat uses heaters to kill bed bugs. Bed bugs at any stage of life cannot survive the high temperatures of the heaters, eliminating them on site. Be aware that when you return to your home in Hemet from a long relaxing vacation you may be bringing more home than you planned. A whole house fumigation does not always have to be the answer when it come to killing off bed bugs. Thermal Heat is the safe effective alternative to fumigation treatment.
Spiders- Do spiders ever go away? Spiders are another pest that seems to infest indoor, and outdoor spaces all year long. They are not going away this month, creeping into spaces you least expect them. Spiders can be seen hiding away in high corners, or crawling up through your shower drain. Simply vacuuming up spider webs, and sealing cracks, and opening leading indoor will help decrease the spider population. In outdoor areas, routine pest control services will drastically eliminate spider problems.
