Viedo: How to Eliminate Cockroaches

Determining the extent of a cockroach infestation can be difficult because the insects tend to stay hidden during the day. Watch this video for a useful explanation of how pest control companies determine where most of these insects are living and how severe the infestation is.

Instead of looking for the bugs themselves, professional exterminators look for their droppings, which look a bit like sprinklings of black pepper. Pest control experts will pay closest attention to hidden areas like under the sink or around the refrigerator, but with a really bad infestation, you may find cockroach droppings inside kitchen cabinets and even on your dishware.

If you’re afraid that you might have a cockroach infestation, call Berrett Pest Control. Serving the Dallas and Fort Worth areas, we handle everything from cockroach extermination to bed bug and termite removal. To learn more, call (469) 619-2424 today.

Which Pest Control Service Plan is Right for You?

Choosing the right pest control service plan is one of the most important aspects of properly maintaining your home or business. Read this article to explore the different pest control service plans available from Berrett Pest Control so you can determine which is best for you:

Treatment Plan Overview

Berrett Pest Control offers three pest control service plans, which differ in the frequency with which your home or business is treated. Each plan includes:

• A thorough beginning treatment that aims to destroy any infestation you might have either indoors or out
• Entryway treatment to discourage outdoor pests from becoming indoor pests
• Anti-spider and fly treatments on windows and in the garage
• Baseboard and corner measures
• Treatment of the fence line outdoors
• Removal of wasp nests and spider webs, and application of repellent to areas likely to be affected by those pests
• Power spraying of the foundation to prevent termite infestation

Choosing a Treatment Plan

Berrett Pest Control offers three pest control service plans: monthly, bimonthly, and quarterly. Which plan you choose largely depends on personal circumstances. Here are our recommendations:

• Monthly. Monthly plans are best for restaurants and other businesses that could potentially be shut down for health code violations if insects or rodents are spotted on the premises. Monthly plans are also best for homeowners who live in extremely insect- or rodent-compromised areas or who can’t stand the sight of bugs.
• Bimonthly. Bimonthly plans are good for homeowners who do not live in highly infested areas and don’t mind seeing the occasional insect.
• Quarterly. Quarterly plans are best for those who are okay with handling insects themselves from time to time, or who aren’t currently living on the premises. The quarterly plan is a good cost-saving measure for a home that you’re waiting to sell or rent out, or a vacation property.

If you’re interested in making sure that your home is protected from pests, consult Berrett Pest Control. We provide pest control to the Dallas and Fort Worth areas, and specialize in bed bug and termite removal. For more information, call (469) 619-2424 today.

Keep the Itsy Bitsy Spiders OUT!

Arachnophobia is the most common animal-based fear in the world. Thankfully, for those who suffer from a fear of spiders, pest control professionals can virtually spider-proof your home. Through regular inspections, you can keep your property free from spiders all year long. Read this article to find out why spiders are one unfriendly sight that you don’t have to come into contact with on a daily basis:

Spider Detection and Elimination

The first step toward living a life that is free from arachnids is to locate all living and deceased spiders on your property and remove them. For many homeowners, spider detection is a difficult task. Fortunately, a pest removal expert can check every corner in your home, search every nook and cranny in your attic, and even scour your basement for signs of spider life. After locating all of the eight-legged pests living on your property, a professional can eliminate them from your home.

Web Removal

To ensure that no spiders are missed and to improve the appearance and cleanliness of your home’s exterior, a spider removal professional will destroy and remove all webs on your property, even those hidden in the eaves underneath your roof.

Safe and Effective Indoor Treatment

When eliminating spiders from your property, a reputable pest control professional will use only safe and effective removal methods, ensuring that your family and pets are not exposed to hazardous toxins or dangerous traps.

Creation of a Spider Barrier

The best way to ensure that you live a spider-free life is to prevent spiders from entering your home in the first place. After all spiders have been removed, your pest control technician can apply a specially designed solution to your home’s foundation, doors, and windows that effectively acts as a spider barrier. Any spider that finds its way into your home will die almost immediately after passing through an entryway that has been sprayed with the solution.

To keep spiders off of your property all year long, we recommend a minimum of four spider barrier treatments. This number coincides nicely with the visits a pest control professional will make to your home when you sign up for Berrett Pest Control’s quarterly service.
