Bees & Wasps

While bees and wasps play a crucial role in the ecosystem not just locally here in Simi Valley, CA, but globally as well, they can be somewhat invasive to your home or business. They are primarily responsible for ensuring the planet’s flora is pollinated so a new generation of vegetation will grow; however, they also harbor a more sinister side. In addition to being responsible for pollination here in the U.S., they are also responsible for more deaths each year than any other venomous or toxic insect that induces mortality through anaphylaxis. If your home or office is falling victim to a bee or wasp hive, our trained pros at Abbott Pest Control are the best answer to any aerial pests that are plaguing your property! We offer same day and emergency pest control services for bees, wasps, and hornets - don’t hesitate to call us today if you have any of these troublesome intruders.

Rodent Control

Granted the rats nowadays aren’t as widespread or harmful as the rats in the Middle Ages that were riddled with the infectious diseases and microscopic parasites, they are still very much a real problem in contemporary California. While the population and treatment methods, be they preventative or reactive, are generally at more manageable levels, the rats themselves still play host to a horde of mites, fleas, chiggers, pathogens, diseases, and bacteria. Admittedly, preventive or proactive measures are a better way to avert exposure to these intrusive marsupials; however, they are very dastardly creatures and will infiltrate even the most impregnable of structures. Our leading pest control experts at Abbott Pest Control are familiar with the preferred lairs, hideouts, haunts, and burrows that rats, mice, and other vermin frequently take refuge. When it comes to identifying and controling a rodent problem, our licensed exterminators at Abbott Pest Control are second to none in Ventura County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County, and surrounding areas.

Gopher Control

The common gopher, ranging from 5-14 inches from snout to tail-tip, is varied in its coloring that fluctuates from a near ebony to a pale white, with shades of brown scattered in between. While these aren’t the largest or most densely populated of the common pests we purge, they definitely have the potential to be one of the most costly of invaders if their trespassing is not met with a swift and definitive eradication. There are a wealth of alternative methods for gopher prevention and treatment, such as sonic devices that deter gophers from insinuating their ilk into your property, or harmful organic retardants like the castor-oil plant, caper spurge, mole plant, and gopher purge. However, there is little scientific evidence to support these options as viable, and the organic “solutions” have actually been proven to be toxic to humans and pets alike.

Dead Animal Removal

With the ever-growing populations of peoples and animals alike reaching unprecedented numbers, it’s only natural that animals may perish and go immediately unnoticed. While this is a natural affair, it is still righteous to have the carcasses successfully identified and disposed of. One of the most prevalent reasons to have the corpses of the fallen interlopers safely abolished is their inherent penchant for harboring harmful microbes, germs, viruses, and microorganisms. This translates into the various carrion being safe-havens to contagious diseases and virulent sicknesses that can infect your friends, family, pets, and colleagues without discrimination. We offer an extensive and comprehensive dead animal removal service that is guaranteed to annihilate any minute organisms in addition to any earthly remains the deceased animal unfortunately left behind.

Helpful Information

To best provide our world-class pest control to our Ventura County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County, and clientele in the surrounding areas, we offer preventative measures as well as educational preparation to assist with pest and intruder aversion. By and large, it is common knowledge that different seasons equate to different types of interlopers throughout any given year in California. For example, during the winter months, you will typically experience an influx of warm-blooded critters that are malnourished & feral who are seeking sustenance, shelter, and succor. This is usually expressed by frequent raids to your larder, scat or other droppings being haphazardly left behind, or queer noises reverberating throughout the hollows of your home. Conversely, the summertime months typically contribute to an upsurge of overzealous monstrosities of the smaller variety; mostly insects, bugs, creepy crawlers, or other creatures that boast four or more appendages.

For example, our specialists at Abbott are called almost daily to address attics pests that include bats, squirrels, rats, mice, chipmunks and all sorts of rodents. Seeing as your attic is typically filled warm, cozy insulation that proves simply irresistible to varmint and vermin, it’s in your best interest to periodically have your attic and crawl space(s) inspected and treated for any unwelcome pests.
