Pest Identification
One of the best ways to protect your family from pests is by being able to identify them.
According to the National Pest Management Association, stinging insects send more than 500,000 people to the emergency room annually. Below you will find information about common pests found in the State of Oklahoma to help determine which you are dealing with around your home.
TERMITES
Chances are, your home is the biggest investment you've ever made. Even if you don't own it, you spend a lot of money maintaining it, making sure it is a safe and keeping it a comfortable place for you and your family. The last thing you want is a colony of termites moving in with you. Termite colonies can hold hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions, of termites. All these crafty pests are looking to do the same thing: feed on any wood they can find, including the very structure of your home.
Signs of termite damage are sagging walls, ceilings and floors, mud shelter tubes or dirt spots on walls and their shed wings, which many people think look like silver fish scales. And if you see termite swarmers in your home or business, that means worker termites are already causing damage! Unfortunately, because most termites are subterranean and fairly sneaky, by the time you notice the signs, or see a termite, they've already caused devastating, sometimes irreparable damage. Each spring, across the country, termites swarm millions of homes causing about $5 billion in damages—more than earthquakes, tornadoes and fires all put together!
Other pest control companies will tell you they offer termite treatment. But treatment doesn't always mean termite control, and control doesn't always mean elimination. At Emtec Pest Control, we have over 39 years of proven experience getting rid of termites from Oklahoma homes and businesses. We have the knowledge and experience to provide the right treatment for your property's needs. Our experts will evaluate your home or business and recommend the best possible treatment options to completely eradicate any and all termites. They will provide you with a written proposal describing in detail the service that will be provided and the total cost for the service, so you're never caught unprepared. Our termite treatment technicians have an average of 18 years of experience with Emtec—this level of experience and dedication is unmatched at any other pest control company.
The weather in Northeast Oklahoma makes termites a serious issue. Fortunately, Emtec Pest Control is Oklahoma's first Certified Sentricon® Specialist. Our experience has proven to us that The Sentricon® System is by far the most effective means of keeping subterranean termites from damaging a structure. In fact, it is the only method that we use to keep termites from damaging our own homes. Click the link to learn more about our Termite Elimination process!
ROACHES
Roaches. Just the word is enough to make you shudder. When you've got roaches in your home, we know exactly how upsetting that can be. They're also bad for business. No matter what kind of industry you're in, your customers aren't going to want to see a cockroach when they walk through the door!
There's no way to lose customers faster than with a roach problem. And to make matters even worse, they rarely come alone. Even if you've only seen one roach, there could be hundreds or thousands more lurking in walls or under appliances. Creepy, unsettling and unsanitary, roaches feed on anything from crumbs to rotten food in dumpsters. And aside from being gross, they also carry viruses and bacteria, including salmonella and parasitic worms. You don't want roaches spreading disease around your home or office.
Given how notoriously difficult roaches are to kill—they've been around since the dinosaurs—this is definitely a job you want to leave to the professionals. Our technicians are trained in the use of specialized equipment that we utilize in the application of a fast-acting dust insecticide. We apply this dust into all of the cracks, crevices and assembly joints of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets, drawers, countertops, trim and more. We also inspect the remainder of the home and apply a liquid and/or a dust insecticide as the particular situation warrants, followed by an exterior perimeter treatment. After our initial service visit, we typically see between 70 to 80 percent of the roaches dead within two days, and the remaining 20 to 30 percent dead within two weeks. When followed up with our Preventative Pest Control Program services, you will never have to worry about roaches taking over your home again.
ANTS
In Northeast Oklahoma, our weather patterns are just perfect for a wide array of insects to thrive. One of those pests that flourishes best here is ants. And while they might seem harmless in the garden and your kids might like playing with them on the sidewalk, you definitely do not want them inside your clean, well-maintained home or business.
Whether you're just seeing the occasional lone ant in the kitchen, or if they have mounted a full scale invasion on your home, our technicians at Emtec Pest Control are prepared to use deadly force to rid your home of these annoying scavengers.
It doesn't matter if they're Carpenter Ants, Red Pavement Ants, Formica ants or any other type of ants. Your technician will evaluate your particular situation and determine a course of action that will work the best for your home. Depending on what type of ants are bugging you, treatment may include liquid insecticides, baits, granules, dust insecticides, or a combination of these. Want to keep the ants away? Call Emtec today! Our Preventative Pest Control program ensures that you've always got an invisible barrier outside your home to make sure that the ants are not welcome guests.
SPIDERS
Just like those pesky ants, the weather conditions here in Oklahoma are absolutely perfect for our least-favorite eight-legged friends. A wide variety of spiders exist and invade structures all across the state, annoying and aggravating home and business owners alike. Whether you're spotting harmless garden spiders—like the Southern House Spider or the Spotted Orb Weaver—or venomous invaders—like the Carolina Wolf Spider or the Southern Black Widow—Emtec Pest Control is experienced at identifying and exterminating them all.
Whether it's Brown Recluse, Black Widows or just the occasional invaders, our skilled technicians who have years of spider-control experience know just what your home needs to keep the spiders under control. Whether as a tailor-made program or as part of our Preventative Pest Control Program, we will know how to target the specific type of spiders invading your home or business. The type and frequency of service that we recommend varies, depending on what types of spiders are trying to make your home into theirs. Give us a call today. We're happy to discuss your specific situation and recommend the service best suited to your individual needs. Get in touch with us today to get started on your free spider inspection and estimate.
RATS & MICE
Do you have uninvited guests living in your walls or attic? Burrows in your backyard haven? No matter where you live, city or country, apartment building or farmhouse, mice and rats are there, looking for a warm place to sleep at night. And if your home has some dark, unused spaces and access to food and water, it could be exactly what these rodents are looking for.
And while one or two might not seem like a big deal, these critters reproduce extremely quickly. What was two mice in the beginning of January could be 50 to 60 mice by the end of February.
While they might seem cute and cuddly sometimes, mice and rats actually carry several diseases, viruses and bacteria that can pose a serious risk to your family's health. As mice roam your home, they leave many patches of urine behind. Perhaps on a cutting board, on a plate, or in the bottom of a cup. If you come into contact with their urine or droppings or are bitten by a mouse or rat, you are at risk for any of the diseases they are carrying,
A few of the dangerous diseases that rats and mice can carry are:
-
Hantavirus
This disease can lead to fever, fatigue, muscle aches, dizziness and vomiting. In severe cases it can even be fatal.
-
Trichinosis
This parasitic disease causes nausea, diarrhea, heartburn, muscle pain and sometimes damage to the brain and central nervous system.
-
Toxoplasmosis
This disease also leads to muscle pain, fever and headache and in some cases can be fatal, especially for pregnant women.
-
Leptospirosis
This disease spreads rapidly and causes fever, bleeding, muscle pain, vomiting and if untreated can cause kidney and liver damage and be fatal.
-
Rat Bite Fever
This is caused by a bacterium which causes rash, joint pain, vomiting, fever and severe headache.
We know you want to keep yourself and your family safe from all these scary and dangerous diseases. And the good news is, they're totally preventable with vigilant rodent control. Call Emtec today, and we will arrange to send one of our skilled technicians to your home to eliminate these pesky and potentially dangerous rodents.
FLEAS & TICKS
Fleas and ticks are a problem everywhere, but especially in Oklahoma. And if you're a hunter, hiker, camper or just generally like to spend a lot of time outdoors, you're even more at risk. These pests are among some of the most annoying out there. However, what's often overlooked, is that they're also some of the most dangerous. Ticks carry a host of diseases including Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. And these don't just affect people, they can affect dogs, cats and horses, too.
At Emtec, we've been eliminating fleas and ticks from the homes and properties of our clients for over 40 years. Whether you have a typical home with a normal-sized city lot, or a sprawling acreage, our experienced technicians are ready for the job. We equip our service trucks with spray rigs that can hold up to 100 gallons of finished product. This enables our technicians to efficiently treat your lawn, without having to stop to borrow your water faucet and refill their tank every few minutes. Call Emtec today for a free quote or to schedule a service appointment!
SCORPIONS
Scorpions are a very real issue for many people in Green Country. With their eight legs, scorpions are not insects, but are arachnids. While they are related to spiders, scorpions do not bite but possess the ability to deliver a painful sting! While scorpions are not typically dangerous to most people, we know that they are no fun to have around. They can also pose a serious risk to people with sensitivity to their stings. If you are dealing with a scorpion issue, give Emtec a call today, and we will tailor a service for maximum effectiveness in your specific situation.
