Question 1

What do you charge?

Accepted Answer

We provide free inspections, but we don't quote prices for specific pests because every infestation situation is unique and requires a customized solution.

Question 2

If your tech comes to my home and I accept his proposal, can he start the job immediately?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the pest. For ants and spiders, our technicians can treat immediately. Rodent control can begin right away, but may require several weeks to complete. Animal control requiring live traps might need a few days before we can start. Bat removal also typically requires a few days of preparation. For termites swarming from concrete slab floors, we may need about a week before beginning treatment.

Question 3

Do you guys offer termite inspections?

Accepted Answer

Currently, we're not conducting termite (wood-destroying organism) inspections for home sales transactions.

Question 4

Do I need a termite inspection when I buy/sell a home?

Accepted Answer

California state law doesn't mandate home inspections before sale. However, some lenders require termite clearance before approving a mortgage. For more specific information, we recommend consulting with a real estate professional.

Question 5

Do we have termites in the mountains?

Accepted Answer

In our mountain regions, we primarily encounter two termite types: subterranean termites that live underground and tunnel upward to homes, and dampwood termites that inhabit moist areas of stumps and logs. It's worth noting that drywood termites, which typically require fumigation with tenting, are uncommon in our mountain areas.

Question 6

Do carpenter ants eat wood?

Accepted Answer

Carpenter ants don't actually eat wood. They simply excavate tunnels in wood to create their nests, as ants lack the ability to digest wood fiber.

Question 7

Can ground squirrels/gophers undermine the foundation of my house?

Accepted Answer

While I'm not a structural engineer, it's highly improbable that ground squirrels or gophers could compromise the structural integrity of a foundation. In 35 years of pest management experience, I've never encountered such a case.

Question 8

What is the most destructive pest in the mountains?

Accepted Answer

Wood rot caused by fungus is actually the most damaging, causing more wood destruction than all other pests combined in our mountain environment.

Question 9

Do you treat for gophers?

Accepted Answer

Like all pest management companies, we implement our best strategies for gopher control. However, these creatures are particularly resilient and persistent.
