California is home to around 270 different kinds of ants. In cold, damp weather, such as the winter, when they are seeking a warm place to stay, ants are more likely to enter homes. A common invader in Northern California is the Argentine ant. Argentine Ant colonies typically have 300 queens and 1,000 workers. They don’t make a permanent home and instead move to a new area when a threat is detected.
Spiders
Since spiders are arachnids and not insects, treating spider infestations may require different techniques than treating insect infestations. When our Sacramento spider control techs come to your home, they will thoroughly examine the interior and exterior of your space. Any spiders they spot can be killed with a direct spray, though we may also spray in your crawlspace, basement, or other dark areas where it is common for spiders to hide. To prevent spiders from gravitating to your house, our technicians can take away their food source, too—other bugs. This means you get two forms of pest control in one!
Termites
Wood eating termite homes are generally formed in the soil. In these mounds, subterranean termites build sophisticated tunnel systems and then use dirt tunnels by which they gain access to above-ground food resources. Drywood termites reside inside hardwood that they eat as well as entering into and infesting walls as well as furnishings. Little techniques make a big difference with termite elimination in addition to sustaining a subterranean termite plan for treatment. Start with doing away with moisture conditions along with wood eating termite food near your residence. These kinds of simple steps make your home a less attractive target, helping deter wood eating termites. Subterranean termites are often called noiseless destroyers, since they are frequently trying to hide in your residence or in your backyard without any signs of damage. All termites ingest wood based plant materials. All homes no matter what their structure type, offers wood foodstuff for wood eating termites. Wood eating termites go after dead plants and flowers in addition to trees in the dirt. A termite’s mouth is efficient at tearing pieces of woody substance.
Bed Bugs
They develop and multiply within a temperature range of 70 degrees around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. A bed bug, is generally known as a nymph, they are clear in color and changes into a bright red color after feeding. To achieve adulthood, a nymph bed bug must shed its skin approximately 5 times. The average female can lay 5 to 7 eggs weekly and can produce as much as 500 eggs throughout its life expectancy of 12 months to 1.5 years. The eggs will hatch out in just 6 to 17 days when they become known as nymphs. Bed Bug eggs are resistant to pesticide sprays. Bedbugs hide in bedding, carpeting, bedsheets, clothing, underneath wallpaper, under cloths, between window curtain folds, behind wall decorations and behind wooden furnishings. They love to attack in the evening and they will remain active until before daybreak. Bedbugs bite exposed skin of a person sleeping in an infested bed and leave red scratchy dots. They do not wander off from sleeping and lounging areas but they be capable of travel over 100 feet during the night to search for food. Bedbugs were once terminated in the US but they’re making a comeback with the aid of international travelers. The most common places to get them are inns and condominium buildings. The infestation can survive a year without food. This permits them to journey from different places until they found a comforting place with food. They will hide on clothes and suitcases of travelers. They also are in couches and can be transferred from house to house through used furniture. Domestic animals like cats and dogs have thick fur which makes for a good hiding spot for bed bugs.
Fleas
Cockroaches
That’s why if you have seen any more than one or two cockroaches hanging around your property, you should contact Official Pest Prevention right away.

Wild Hogs
Corcoran was founded by Hobart Johnstone Whitley, a prominent land developer from southern California, promoter who platted some 150 towns in the West, who took the lead in building Corcoran (the main street of the community is named in his honor). Liking what he saw during a visit to the area in 1905 (a blacksmith shop, small store, scattered homes and a lush, untapped vista with herds of grazing wild hogs, horses and steers) Whitley purchased 32,000 acres (130 km2) to start development.
