Customers Notice the Little Things

Retail is all about presentation. If baseboards are chipped, shelves are sagging, or sawdust piles appear near the floor, a customer might notice before you do. These signs may be subtle but serious. One small detail could lose you a sale—or worse, a loyal customer. Stay alert and explore when termites swarm and how to inspect thoroughly before it’s too late.

One Inspection Can Save You Thousands

A single termite inspection can catch the early stages of a problem before it explodes into a crisis. Trained professionals know where to look, even behind fixtures and under flooring. The cost of prevention is minimal compared to full structural repairs. Read more on how to choose the right termite control provider and how Attack Pest Control fights termite resistance.

What is the Four Season approach?

Our four season approach targets the seasonal pest problem locally in Southern California. Each season and climate triggers particular pests to be active and to look for harborage. However, it is common to see ants, spiders and rodents year round.

WINTER

Warmth indoors attracts pests into your living spaces; rain and cold weather drive ants, rodents, silverfish and spiders inside. Pests can also be brought inside on plants, firewood, and other items. Rodents are especially problematic due to colder temperatures outside.

SPRING

Warmer spring weather invites bees, Argentine ants into your home and yard. Other common spring pests include: termite swarmers, carpenter ants, fire ants, pill bugs, spiders, aphids, wasps, fleas, ticks, box elder bugs, gophers and moles.

SUMMER

High temperature is conducive for bees, wasps, and yellow jackets, as well as ants, earwigs, millipedes, crickets, springtails, brown widow spiders, black widow spiders and water beetles. The summer weather also spikes the activity of bed bugs, fleas, ticks and German cockroach, scorpions especially in new development areas and in homes located in foothill like surroundings.

FALL

As temperatures drop and cooler weather approaches, orb weaver, spiders, beetles, rodents, stink bugs, box elder beetles and other overwintering pests begin to move indoors . These pests use walls, voids, basements and attics as winter retreats. Termites are very active this time of the year, so too are gophers. It is particularly important to be on the lookout for droppings and gnaw marks, indicating rodent infestation. Rodent control and exclusion work begin to significantly trend up during the fall.
