Spectrum protects homes, inside and out, from unwanted invaders with its residential pest control maintenance programs. The most common pest complaints heard in Ventura/Santa Barbara/ Los Angeles area are ants, and black and brown widow spiders. Many Southern California spiders are unsightly and can even pack a powerful venomous bite. Black widows are a common occurrence and even the brown widow is a major issue for some homeowners. 

When present, ticks and fleas need to be controlled immediately due to their ability to transmit dangerous diseases including:

• West Nile Virus
• Lyme Disease

The lush vegetation and moderate climate in Santa Barbara and Ventura areas foster amazing shelter and breeding grounds for rodent pests such as rats, and mice. Other outdoor landscape pests in the area include earwigs, silverfish, and beetles. Each regular home pest control visit includes various methods of ant control, roaches control, and spider removal, ALONG WITH ALL OTHER CRAWLING INSECTS. Other home pest services for ticks, fleas, and bees may require a custom service to perform.

Spectrum includes general rodent control services as an important component of its overall residential pest program. And there is no additional cost to maintain effective mice or rat control at your property. Mice and rats gnaw their way into crawl space areas, wall voids, garages, and behind counters. They are in constant search of moisture, food, and shelter. 

Other rodent problems can fester in outdoor locations under thick bushes or in patches of ground ivy. Once detected by a thorough pest inspection, mice and rats need to be sealed off from the shelter indoors and controlled outdoors. Spectrum Environmental customers and clients appreciate the peace of mind of knowing that rodent control is included in each general bi-monthly or quarterly pest control service. 

Wasp and Bee Removal

Bees are best left alone. They contribute enormously to our landscape vegetation and assist our valued crop farmers and orchards in Southern California. Sometimes, however, bee removal is the best option. 

Professional bee removal becomes necessary if a beehive is in an area with allergic people nearby, or if small children are in danger. Imagine a beehive established on the grounds near the front entrance of a hospital. IN OR AROUND YOUR HOME, OR IN A TREE OR SHRUB ON YOUR PROPERTY NEAR YOUR HOME In these certain circumstances, it is important to quickly remove the beehive and relocate it elsewhere. ( WE DON’T RELOCATE WE ERADICATE) WE CAN  REFER A BEE REMOVAL SERVICE WHEN NEEDED) And where better a place for bee relocation than a California orchard!

Cockroaches are a menace to every home that has a kitchen, and obviously, that means every home! Roaches can be dangerous as their numbers can quickly grow exponentially. The old myth about seeing one roach means there could be hundreds hiding is absolutely true. Roaches spread bacteria as they scurry about. As a roach infestation grows, it can even cause severe allergic reactions for homeowners and their children. Roach control is the best method for keeping them away.
