Alameda, CA Pest Control

A wood-destroying pest, termites are an Alameda homeowner’s worst nightmare. The damage they cause inside of homes becomes extensive and costly to repair, especially because homeowners insurance usually doesn’t cover termite damage. Termites are not a pest you want to roll the dice with and “hope” they don’t find their way onto your property. Each year, these tiny terrors are responsible for more than five billion dollars in damage to homes across the United States.
 
The best way to protect your property from termite damage is to partner with Bay Pest and eliminate things from your yard and home that could attract them.

• If you have older or decaying wooden structures on your property, remove them. This includes old fences, play structures, sheds, decks, and porches.

• Replace wooden mulch with a non-organic option such as rubber mulch or crushed rocks.

• Make sure gutters and downspouts are in good working order to direct rainwater away from the exterior of your home.

• Do not overwater gardens and lawns.

• Repair leaky pipes and garden hoses.

• Reduce moisture levels inside of your home by using dehumidifiers.

• Replace structural wood and wooden trim in and on your home if it ever becomes water damaged.

The hot humid weather conditions found in our area allow one of the most annoying and dangerous pests in Alameda to thrive - mosquitoes. Female mosquitoes bite people and animals to consume blood meals required to form viable eggs. The mosquito’s relentless need for blood meals and their ability to swarm and live together in large numbers makes mosquitoes one of the most dreaded and difficult to control pests that invade our outdoor spaces.
 
Minimizing you and your family’s exposure to mosquitoes is important because they can spread a variety of serious diseases to both people and animals through their bites. To help you avoid mosquitoes bites we want to offer some helpful tips:

• Remove standing water (breeding sites) from your property.

• Do not overwater gardens.

• Fix areas in your lawn and driveway that allowing rainwater to collect.

• Mosquitoes love to hide in tall grass and thick vegetation. Keep the grass cut short, and cut back thick vegetation, especially any right next to your home.

• Keep mosquitoes out of your home by placing screens in windows and doors. Regularly inspect screens for rips or tears.
