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.
There are a lot of little-known facts about pests and the pest control industry, but not a lot of them matter to the average homeowner or business property owner. We don’t expect people to know everything there is to know about the pests that are common to Temecula (that’s our job), but these five facts are not only interesting—they can also help homeowners and business owners in Temecula protect themselves and their properties from the damage pests can cause.

As any Temecula homeowner will tell you, bugs and rodents are a problem in the Temecula Valley. Constant maintenance is required to keep unwanted pests out of your home and off of your property. Unfortunately, these pests don’t just affect homes—they also affect commercial properties.
Whether you operate your business out of an office building, a warehouse, or a retail store, your facility needs to be free of pests. Customers who see a pest problem at your place of business will not only be wary of your facility’s cleanliness, they may also wonder what else your business is neglecting to take care of. You could lose a potential customer over something as simple as a few bugs, which could have easily been taken care of by calling in a professional Temecula pest control company. Don’t give your customers any reason to take their business elsewhere!
It’s not just your customers and clients you need to be concerned about. You need to consider your employees as well. No one wants to work in an environment that has a bug or rodent problem. And you don’t want your employees spending their valuable time trying to get rid of the problem or cleaning up the mess left by pests. Hiring a Temecula pest control company to regularly service your facility will keep your place of work free of unwanted pests and allow your employees to be able to focus on the important tasks at hand—their jobs!
If you are a landlord of a business facility, you have certain obligations to your tenants. One of them is to maintain the property. If your property has a problem with bugs or rodents, you need to take care of it unless your lease specifically says that your tenants are responsible for this. And you should think twice about using DIY pest control methods, as using insecticides on a commercial property without a license could make you liable for any damages or illnesses they cause. Let a professional pest control company like Knockout handle bug extermination and rodent control. We know the most effective methods to use based on your specific pest problems. We also know how to correctly apply pesticides to keep your tenants as safe as possible.
We understand that business owners and landlords of a commercial property already have a lot of expenses, but professional pest control is one that is definitely worth the money. If you don’t already have a pest control company helping you keep your facility free of unwanted bugs and rodents, contact us at Knockout. We’d love to come out to your facility and tell you more about the pest control services we offer and give you a free estimate. We look forward to hearing from you!
