The dog days of summer are here, and the heat is coming. Bugs love the warm weather; they especially love the warm nights. As the average daily temperature rises there is an influx of all things buggy.
This time of year means beach time and finding ways to beat the heat, but the problem is that bugs like this weather best. That is why you’ve hired PacWest, to protect your home through these busy months. This is when we bring out the big guns to knock down all the active bugs.
Mosquitoes have hatched and are biting. Wasps’ nests are growing in your eaves. Spiders are out hunting other bugs and getting bigger. American and Turkestan cockroaches are emerging from the sewers and drains to invade your garages and kitchens. Fleas, triggered by warm weather, emerge from their pupae.
In short, the bugs are out in force. That's where our mid-summer treatments come to your defense. Our goal in this season is to knock down as many insects as we can and put up the strongest barriers allowed to protect your house.
Spider, and Cockroach Control
Our Summer treatment focuses on the other bugs. Since the last treatment focused on ants, we can trust they're under control and focus on the other bug problems at your home. We swept the eaves for spiders last time, so, this time we attack any new spiders we find aggressively. American roaches emerge from sewer access points and march toward homes in warm weather. We place barriers between your home and theirs to kill them on their way to you. If they try to use your drains to enter your house, you can add our optional drain treatments to control them there too.
General Granule Treatment
To combat the general increase in bugs all over the yard we treat the whole yard with a silica granule that can get down below the grass to where the insects hatch, live, and breed. This gets down to those emerging fleas. Warm weather triggers the fleas to come out of their pupae and hunt for a meal. Our granules are there to meet them. Earwigs and crickets live down below the grass and our granules will find them there and continue killing them all summer.
The granules are a controlled-release formulation that protects the yard all summer long. Watering your yard lightly, after our spray dries, helps to begin this slow-release process. Be sure to not let any water run off the landscape in this first watering. This ensures the granules’ peak effectiveness.
We want to remind you if you are under a service contract with us and are having a problem with covered insects inside your home then please call us so we can come and treat the problem for you.
If you partner with PacWest Exterminators, then we can control your pest problems all summer long. You will never have to worry about bugs in your house!
