    The most common pest in Escondido, CA, includes ants, termites, cockroaches, rodents, and earwigs. Insects and rodents can cause significant damage to your home if you don’t take the necessary steps to get rid of them.

    Your home is probably your most significant investment, and you shouldn’t wait if you suspect you’re dealing with a pest infestation. There are also steps you can take to prevent pest problems.

    The main thing you can do for pest control is limited access to food, water, and shelter. These three things will attract insects and rodents.

    Food sources can include your pantry, pet food, or even your garbage. You can make food harder to access by cleaning your home regularly, getting rid of old items in your pantry, storing pet food in airtight containers, and storing your garbage can away from your house.

    If there is a humidity problem in your home, address it to limit access to water. You might have to fix some leaking pipes or improve ventilation in your bathroom, basement, or crawlspace.

    Lastly, you can limit shelter by cleaning your home thoroughly, including small nooks and crannies. You should also look for potential points of entry, like cracks in the foundation, and fix them. Reducing clutter is another thing that can limit shelter.

    Escondido Rodent Control

    Rodents chew on everything and reproduce quickly. A rodent problem can quickly get out of hand if you don’t find a way to restrict their access to your home.

    Besides damaging your home, rats and mice can spread 35 different diseases, including diseases you can catch through exposure to urine and droppings.

    Homeowners typically notice that rodents are nesting in their homes because they hear noises during the night. Other signs include an unpleasant smell, small droppings, and chewed-up food packaging. In some cases, you might see holes in the drywall or signs of a nest.

    The best way to prevent a rodent infestation is to seal any point of entry. Inspect the walls and foundation to look for tiny cracks. Squirrels can also get in if there are cracks in the roof.

    You should also eliminate water and food sources. Clean up your basement or crawlspace to get rid of anything rodents could use as nesting material. You can use traps to catch the animals and relocate them for a safe and humane way of dealing with the infestation.

    We can help you deal with this problem. We have many years of experience with catching and relocating rodents. We’ll inspect your home to figure out how rats or mice are getting in and seal these points of entry. Our services also include cleaning and disinfecting the nesting areas.

    Escondido Termite Control

    Subterranean termites are the most common types of termites you’ll encounter in the US. These insects cause a total of $2 billion in damage each year.

    These insects live in colonies. A large colony can eat through a pound of wood a day. Termites eat wood, but they can also eat drywall since it contains cellulose.

    They can cause extensive damage by burrowing through wood structures and damaging the frame of your house. Their presence can be hard to notice until signs of damages appear.

    You can do a few things to protect your home from termites. Termites won’t find their way into your home if you limit contact between soil and wood. Don’t store firewood next to your home, and get rid of plants and dead trees close to the house. You can also use some mulch to create a barrier around your home.

    Termites love humidity. You can limit their access to water by improving drainage around the foundation, fixing plumbing leaks, and installing a vapor barrier in your crawlspace.

    If there are termites in your home, it’s crucial to contact an Escondido pest control professional. It’s one of the services we offer at Payne Pest Management. We’ll start by inspecting the interior and exterior of your home to determine where the termites are coming from and how much damage they have caused.

    We offer treatment methods based on the construction type of your home and the size of the termite colony. We can use localized treatments in some cases, but fumigation is a better option for more severe infestations.

    You’ll get a detailed inspection report, and we’ll conduct another inspection after treating your home for termites. Our services include a warranty, and we’ll treat your home again for free if the termites come back. We can also help with wood repairs to fix what the termites damaged.
