Trusted Pest Control Services in San Jose, CA

Annually, dry wood termites, powder post beetles, bed bugs, and other wood-destroying pests cause billions of dollars in structural damage in the United States. Although deciding whether fumigate or not is complex; it is important to consider the cost of fumigation, versus the cost of damage to your structures if you do nothing.

Termites create holes, and they usually push oval shape, and tiny capsules called frass (droppings or pellets) out of the nest. You may also discover termite wings near windowsills and floors. As well as termites, powder post beetles create holes. Therefore, you can discover wood powder out of these tiny round shape holes. However, since termites and beetles feed and live entirely inside the wood, you may not see signs of their presence, unless you see under the damaged wood. If you observe any sign of Termite or Powder Post Beetles activity, contacting a pest control professional to schedule an inspection is the best option.

Usually, you may see evidence of a bed bug infestation even without seeing bed bugs. You can discover blood stains, rust, or dark red stains of bed bug excrement on your sheets, pillowcases, or mattresses. Some people may experience itchy welts while lying in bed and may find bite marks on parts of the body that are often uncovered while sleeping. However, bite marks on the skin are a poor indicator of a bed bug infestation since bed bug bites can resemble other insect bites, plus some people do not react to them. If you have seen signs that suggest the presence of bed bugs, you should get in touch with a pest control professional for an inspection.

For any fumigation involving tenting a structure, your utility company must be contacted. If you receive natural gas service, then the gas service needs to be turned off for the period of fumigation.

All keys for exterior door locks must be provided to the Field Representative (the leader of the fumigation crew) because, by law, all exterior doors, garage doors, outdoor sheds, etc., must be secured during fumigation. Additionally, fumigators need full access to the interior of the house/building for preparation.
