As a pest control company, we took a special interest in the news story that emerged last year about the arrival in the United States of the so-called “murder hornets.” It was one of the many sensational events that seemed to characterize the year 2020. However, almost as soon as the story showed up in news cycles, it then disappeared, leaving many people to wonder, “What ever happened to the murder hornets? Are they still here? Should I be worried?”
As waves of the Coronavirus outbreak come and go in Temecula and Murrieta, businesses are constantly opening and closing. In addition, some are opened in a limited capacity and some have been forced to close their doors permanently. It can be difficult to determine which businesses are currently serving customers and which aren’t—especially because websites are not always up-to-date.
Living in the Temecula and Fallbrook areas has many perks—we have great weather pretty much year round, there are great schools here, and we have easy access to some of the best beaches in the world, just to name a few. There really aren’t many downsides to living in this area.
Nobody wants to tent their house for termites—nobody. Most people we know would much rather spend their home improvement dollars on things that beautify or add value to their homes, but when you have a termite infestation, it must be done. If not, the problem will only get worse over time, causing costly damage or even compromising the structural integrity of your home.
Have you been looking for a reliable pest control company in Fallbrook, but having little success? As a pest control company serving Fallbrook homeowners and business owners, we’ve been told over the years that it can be difficult to find a company that will provide consistently good service in the area.

Now that we’re in the hottest part of the year in the Temecula, Murrieta, and Fallbrook areas, you may be noticing more ant activity at your home or business. Why is this? Ants, like humans, like comfortable temperatures. If it’s too cold out, they’ll look for someplace warmer to hang out. If it’s extremely hot outside, they’ll try to find a place to hang out that’s cooler.
A couple of months ago, we talked in our blog about garden pests, such as gophers, rabbits, and moles. Moles aren’t terribly prevalent in the Temecula, Murrieta, and Fallbrook areas, but if they do find their way onto your property, they can do a ton of damage to your yard or garden before you know it!
Last month on our blog, we talked about the different levels of toxicity in pest control products (Danger, Warning, and Caution). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates pest control products and categorizes them based on how harmful they are if ingested, or if they get on your skin or in your eyes. Every product used by pest control companies is put in one of three categories, so technicians and consumers can compare “apples to apples” when it comes to toxicity levels. [Read more…]
We’re often asked by new customers and potential customers about the types of pest control products we use. They are understandably concerned about the safety of using pesticides around their family and pets. Yes, they want the ants, spiders, and other pests eliminated from their property, but not at the expense of the health of their loved ones. [Read more…]
Once again, it’s gardening season. If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to get those tomato plants in the ground, so you can be enjoying them at your summer barbecues. [Read more…]
