Ant Control

Ants can be a problem as the weather gets warmer. There are three different types of ants that may plague your home and property. Household ants will come into your kitchen or other areas of your home looking for food and water. Carpenter ants set up their nests inside of the wood of your home and cause damage similar to termites. Fire ants are the most dangerous ants because they can bite you, your children or your pets. They leave painful bites and can cause allergic reactions for some people.

Treating ants on your own can be difficult because in order to eliminate all the ants, you need to kill the queen and the entire colony. Baits that you buy at the store may stop the ants temporarily, but they will often come back. The technicians at EcoTek can perform a free ant inspection. They can quickly determine the types of ants and choose the best ant control treatment to solve the problem. Contact EcoTek today.

Termite Control

Termites can cause thousands of dollars in damage in just a short time. They are one of the most destructive pests that can invade your home. It is even more difficult since they often do the damage in areas of your home that you do not usually see. Termites can eat through an entire home in just two years, which is why it is important to have a termite inspection each year. You should also keep your eye out for mud tubes or damaged wood to keep your home safe.

Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are an itchy problem that are bothering more people throughout the United States. Bed bugs were eradicated from the United States in the 1960s, but in recent years they have made a resurgence primarily because of the increased travel. People will pick them up when traveling and bring them home in their luggage. Bed bugs can quickly set up an infestation because many people do not realize there is an issue right away.

Signs of bed bugs include seeing rows of small bites, droppings in the bedding and mattress, as well as bloodstained sheets. Bed bugs are difficult to find and treat yon your own because of their small size. Bed bugs are nocturnal so you will rarely see them out at night. It is important to apply the bed bug treatment directly to the bugs. Our technicians can find all the places the bed bugs may be hiding and apply a bed bug control treatment to stop them. Contact EcoTek to set up your free bed bug inspection.

Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are known for spreading illnesses and causing issues for people with allergies or asthma. They can wander into your home or they can come inside packages or shopping bags. Once in your home, they can quickly set up an infestation because roaches can lay up to fifty eggs at a time. If you see cockroach droppings (looks like pepper flakes), egg casings or the cockroaches themselves, you likely have an issue with cockroaches. A serious infestation may have strong odor.

There are several types of cockroaches that can invade your home including American, German and Oriental roaches. Each type of roach requires a different treatment plan. Our technicians can identify the types of roaches that are in your home and perform a cockroach control treatment to eliminate the roaches that are in your home.

While it is more common for people with pets to have to deal with fleas and ticks, you can have an infestation even if you do not have pets. Treat for fleas on your own can be a messy process and the flea powders are not always effective in removing and killing all the fleas. You will also need to treat your pet for fleas.

They will spread disease as they leave trails of droppings and urine wherever they go.

Wildlife Control and Removal

Squirrels, raccoons, birds and bats may be fine outside, but it becomes an entirely different issue when they set up their nests inside of your home. Squirrels and raccoons can damage your home and cause significant damage to the structure while birds and bats pose a health risk because of the droppings that they leave behind in your attic. More importantly, these animals may also threaten your family or pets as they try to defend their territory.

The wildlife control experts at EcoTek can help you protect your home and catch the animals for you. We only use humane traps and we will check them daily to make sure that the animals do not face dehydration or go hungry. These traps are safe in the event that a neighborhood pet accidentally wanders in.
