Why Orange County Residents Need To Take Rodent Problems Seriously

Rodent infestations aren’t something you want to take lightly. While destructive pests like termites tend to get a lot of attention for being dangerous and damaging, rodents can also lead to property damage. What’s worse is that they can impact your health. 

Rodents carry diseases and parasites like ticks and fleas, which are capable of spreading throughout your home, too. Even if they don’t carry pathogens, rodents can still contribute to foul odors that permeate your home, as well as dust and dander that can trigger allergies and respiratory issues. 

This is why you need local rodent control that you can count on, not just to eliminate rodents that have already invaded, but to protect you from infestations in the first place. At Allied Pest Control, we know how to identify and address rodent problems and proactively prevent infestations from forming.

What's Attracting Stinging Insects To My Orange County Home?

People don’t often pay attention to the ways their yards might be attracting pests. But with stinging insects like wasps, a lax approach to pest control can lead to dangerous colonies right outside your window. 

Wasps are drawn to local yards because of the easy access to food, water, and shelter they provide. As such, you need to address the factors that draw them in to begin with, not just address wasp nests after they’ve formed: 

• Harborage points: Wasps build nests in overgrown trees and on overhanging parts of roofs and outdoor trellises. Making sure these locations aren’t habitable for wasps through regular trimming and power washing is a key prevention step.  
• Moisture: Wasps also need water to survive, which is why yards with puddles or water features tend to be more attractive to them. 
• Other pests: The presence of one pest often attracts others, and this is especially true of stinging insects that hunt other yard pests. This is why general pest control can protect you from dangerous infestations. 

These are just some of the major factors that attract wasps to local homes, and protecting your yard and loved ones from stinging insects requires being proactive with pest control. Get started on complete wasp control in Orange County by contacting Allied Pest Control today.

How Wildlife Gets Into Orange County Residential Areas

There are some common animals that people don’t tend to think of as pests, like birds and squirrels. Then there are the forms of wildlife that people know are bad but they don’t think are common enough to spend any time or money preventing, like skunks and raccoons. But all of these pests fall into a category we call wildlife pests, and they can and will invade local properties to access the food and shelter that our homes provide. This is why staying up on effective wildlife control near you can save you from the damage and health risks that these pests can lead to. 

At Allied Pest Control, we know what attracts wildlife animals to properties and how to protect you from them. With exclusion methods and humane removal services, we can get rid of existing wildlife concerns and protect your home against future invasions.
