PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY PEST CONTROL SOLUTIONS TO RESIDENTS IN CIBOLO, TX

There is a lot to see and do for residents of Cibolo but after spending a day at the Cibolo Grange Farmers & Artisans Market or Crescent Bend Nature Park, people want to retreat into their homes peacefully. Unfortunately, pests do not always make that possible. Mosquitoes, rodents, spiders, fleas, and ticks are just some of the pests that like to call Cibolo home, and they can all make a home very unpleasant to live in for humans. These pests are not only a nuisance, but they can also cause damage to the structure of the home and the contents within it. After spotting an infestation, it is always wise to speak to a Cibolo pest control company that can eliminate the problem.

Common Pests in Cibolo

Unfortunately, many pests are common in Cibolo. These include:

Fleas and ticks: Fleas and ticks are both pests that need blood hosts, usually in the form of a person or a pet, such as a cat or a dog. Fleas do not pose a health threat to humans, but they are extremely difficult to get rid of after they make their way inside a home. Ticks, on the other hand, do pose a threat to humans and animals, as they can transmit Lyme disease, babesiosis, and Anaplasmosis.
Fire ants: Fire ants are known for creating mounds in the outdoor space people like to enjoy, such as their backyards. When those mounds are disturbed, the ants within the colony will quickly emerge and sting anything they perceive to be a threat. Eliminating fire ants typically requires treating the entire yard, so the fire ants move out entirely and do not simply create another mound close by.
Mosquitoes: Like fire ants, mosquitoes can quickly make your outdoor space uninhabitable. Since they have wings, mosquitoes can also quickly make their way inside your home any time you open the door. Although all of this is inconvenient, that nuisance is quite small when compared to the danger mosquitoes pose to the health of humans. As such, it is essential to seek the help of a Cibolo pest control service, particularly when the number of mosquitoes is particularly large.
Spiders: Most spiders are harmless to humans, but the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider have the potential to do real harm. Homeowners mustn’t try to handle these spiders on their own, as doing so can be extremely dangerous. In these instances, a Cibolo pest control service will know how to remove these critters safely.
Rodents: Rodents cause many issues when they make their way into a home. Rats and mice both carry and transmit extremely harmful diseases, and they can also completely destroy a home. Rats and mice will chew and tear through insulation and other important structures of the home, and will quickly destroy the contents of a home, including the food supply and clothing.
Bed bugs: Although bed bugs do primarily make beds, mattresses, and box springs their home, they can be found anywhere that is soft and plush and is close to their food source, a blood host, such as a person or pet. Bed bugs are prolific eaters and can quickly multiply, causing an infestation very quickly. They are also extremely difficult to get rid of, so it is important to seek professional help.
Wood-destroying insects: The most common type of wood-destroying insect is, of course, the termite. However, powder post beetles and carpenter ants are two other creatures that are extremely invasive and can destroy the structure of a home. All of these insects are notoriously difficult to get rid of on one’s own, so it is usually best to seek help from a professional pest control service.

If you are dealing with any of these pests in your home, there are several ways a Cibolo pest control service can help.

How Our Cibolo Pest Control Company can Help

When working with a professional pest control service, they will take many steps to protect your home, including:

Inspection: All pest control services will begin with a full inspection that will identify where the pests are appearing in the home and any elements that are attracting pests inside.
Identification: Sometimes, homeowners mistake one pest for another, which can make eliminating them particularly challenging. A pest control company will understand how different pests behave, and how to identify the exact pest that is causing a problem. This is extremely important because different pests react to different pest control solutions differently. The only effective way to eliminate any pest is to correctly identify which type of pest it is first.
Recommendations: Once a pest has been properly identified, a pest control company will then make recommendations about how to get rid of it. These recommendations will include suggestions for eliminating the problem, and for preventing it from returning. Sometimes, preventative services are included within a specific type of service, while others are additional measures that can help keep pests out of your home.
Treatment: After determining which treatment solutions you are most interested in, the pest control company will then get to work quickly to help you with your issue. A quality pest control service will ensure that they keep toxic chemicals to a minimum, use them only when absolutely required, and then use as little as possible.

Common Cibolo Pest Control FAQS

How Often Should I Get Pest Control Treatments?

How often you need pest control treatments will largely depend on the type of pest you are dealing with. If you have a bed bug problem, you may only need one or two treatments. If you are dealing with fleas or mosquitoes on a regular basis, you may need monthly treatments for prevention. If there is a very large infestation of any pest, or there are extreme conditions such as heavy rain or flooding, which can contribute to the amount of pests you see, an Cibolo pest control professional can recommend the type and frequency of treatment needed.

When Should I Call for an Inspection?

Any time you think you have a pest problem, it is important to call a professional pest control company that can inspect the property for you. Our pest control experts can eliminate most pest problems including those involving ants, termites, bed bugs, cockroaches, spiders, and fleas.

What Questions Should I Ask a Pest Control Company?

When you have a pest problem, you should speak to a professional. However, there are some companies that may be a better fit for your situation than others. To ensure you are working with the very best, there are some important questions to ask. These are as follows:

Is a heat treatment necessary? (An especially important question if you are dealing with bed bugs)
How long will treatment take?
Do you offer free consultations? (You should not have to pay to learn more about how a professional can help)
Should I do anything before or after treatment?
What is the potential for damage to my home?
How much will treatment cost?

Do Termites Cause A Lot of Damage to Homes?

Of all the pests you can find in your home, termites are some of the most destructive. In the United States, termites cause up to $5 billion in damage each year. Even when a problem is found early, it may still cost the homeowner up to $10,000 in damage to their home. When a termite problem is left untreated, it can cost much more than that.

How Long Do Termite Treatments Take to Work?

Termite treatments do take some time to work, as termites must take the bait and then spread it throughout the entire colony. Still, you should see reduced activity within a day or two after receiving treatment. If you have a very large infestation, it could take up to two weeks after treatment before the entire colony is eliminated. If you are still seeing signs of termites after this time, it is important to speak to your pest control company about a follow-up treatment.

Do Bed Bugs Always Require Heat Treatment?

Heat is often the first type of treatment people think of when they have a bed bug problem. Fortunately, there are pesticides and other treatment options that are often used as an alternative to heat treatments.

Contrary to what many people believe, heat is not always the most appropriate solution for bed bugs. Temperatures in the home must be very high for heat treatment to work, usually between 113 and 118 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also necessary to maintain those high temperatures for about an hour and a half in most cases. That kind of extreme heat can cause serious damage to many different areas of a home.

Extremely high temperatures also make it dangerous for people and pets to stay in the home. This can be very inconvenient, and sometimes costly, option for families. When working with a bed bug specialist, it is important to discuss the type of treatment that is right for you.

What Should I Avoid Doing Before a Bed Bug Treatment?

There is not much required of you before receiving a bed bug treatment. However, there are some things you should try to avoid. The things you should not do before treating are as follows:

Move bedding or clothing through multiple rooms in the home to wash them, as this can spread the problem throughout the house
Put infested items outside, as the heat from the sun will not kill the bed bugs on even the hottest days and this will prevent the items from being treated
Try to eliminate the problem on your own, as the solution you use could have an adverse reaction with any professional chemicals that are used
Allow visitors into the home, as this can result in the infection spreading to another home
Try to kill the bugs on your own by raising the temperature, as you likely will not be able to reach a temperature that is hot enough
