Question 1

Question 2

What are signs of termite damage?

Accepted Answer

Signs of termite activity include mud tubes on foundations, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows, frass (drywood termite droppings that look like sawdust), buckling paint, and damaged or crumbling drywall. If you notice any of these signs, schedule an inspection immediately — termites cause billions in damage annually.

Question 3

How much does rodent control cost?

Accepted Answer

Rodent control in Salinas costs $200–$1,000 depending on infestation severity and exclusion work needed. Basic trapping and removal runs $200–$400, while comprehensive service with exclusion sealing costs $500–$1,000. Ongoing monitoring plans are available for $30–$60/month.

Question 4

How do you keep rodents from coming back?

Accepted Answer

Effective rodent control combines removal with exclusion — sealing all entry points larger than 1/4 inch with steel wool, metal flashing, or concrete. We inspect your entire home for gaps around pipes, vents, doors, and utility lines. Combined with removing food sources and nesting materials, exclusion prevents future infestations.

How much does ant treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

Ant treatment in Salinas costs $150–$500 depending on ant species and infestation severity. Standard Argentine ant treatment runs $150–$300, while carpenter ant treatment requiring structural treatment costs $300–$500. Quarterly prevention plans typically cost $100–$150 per visit.

Question 6

How long does ant treatment take to work?

Accepted Answer

Most ant treatments show significant results within 24–48 hours, with full colony elimination in 1–2 weeks. Bait treatments may take slightly longer as worker ants carry the bait back to the colony. Carpenter ant treatments may require follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination.
