pest control services:

At Action Services Wildlife & Pest Control, we use only state approved products in ways that are consistent with their labeling which results in superior pest control using the least amount of chemical as possible. In addition, we now offer a full line of all-natural organic products that consist entirely of botanical compounds that plants produce and use as a natural defense against insect attacks. While those compounds are harmful to insects; mammals, birds, and fish are safe from their effects.

Most bugs only come inside when their outside environment threatens their chances of survival. Indoor environments such as food, water, shelter, and optimal humidity levels are an attraction to many pests. Not unlike humans,pests want to be comfortable too. However, routine pest prevention can greatly reduce their desire to take up permanent residence in your home.

loathsome raaches:

There is a misconception that cockroaches only invade dirty homes, however, cockroaches have been surviving on earth approximately 400 million years and have been found living in all types of structures and environments. German cockroaches (the smallest and most common cockroach) can gather inside the walls of any home, however, they thrive heavily in kitchens that have grease, clutter, and moisture problems.

Roaches are among the most difficult pests to control. For example, a female German cockroach can singlehandedly produce up to 30,000 offspring per year. The best way to eliminate them from a home and keep them away is to keep areas clean, put away food, clean and towel dry sinks, and call in a professional pest control company like Action Services Wildlife and Pest Control to treat the infestation.

Roaches secrete allergens that are mostly concentrated from their fecal matter or in an oily residue secreted by pores in their body, and in fragments of their body parts. The particles become airborne and therefore contaminate the air that you breathe. The contaminated air can aggravate asthma and cause allergic reactions to people who are sensitive to those secretions.

Bed bugs are hitchhikers who travel in suitcases, on clothing, or they might even hitch a ride on your family pet. A good idea is to always check your clothing after coming home from a heavy populated area with close proximity to others, (i.e. hotels, sporting events, movie theatres, etc.).

One female bed bug can produce up to 500 eggs in her lifetime. Bed bugs are mostly nocturnal pests whose primary food source is blood. In cool climates, they can survive for a year or more without food. In warmer climates, they can survive up to five months without food. Their resilience makes them almost impossible to kill through do-it-yourself methods. Our trained professionals can determine the source of the infestation and develop a treatment program that will eliminate and control future infestations.

Pest control professionals use the most effective methods and pesticide treatments to rid your home of termites in addition to keeping them away. While do-it-yourself termite control may sound appealing, researchers at Texas A&M AgriLife Extension state that, “Tests at Texas A&M University have been unable to demonstrate successful control with do-it-yourself products. Keep in mind that, should a do-it-yourself treatment not work, a money-back guarantee will not cover the costs of expensive repairs due to termite damage. If you have a confirmed termite problem, it’s best to seek help from a professional termite control company.”

Just a Bunch of Animals!

Whenever possible, Action Services Wildlife & Pest Control recommends forcing the animal to leave through its original exit, then blocking off its doorway into your home while also preventing future intruders from entering. We call this the one-way exclusion method. When the animal returns to find its doorway exit blocked off, it will leave to find another nesting area within its territory. The one-way exclusion method is the most beneficial for the animal by allowing it to remain in its own territory. However, there are times when we have no other choice than to trap and relocate the animal.

With 20 years of wildlife control experience in the Waco and surrounding Central Texas areas, we are experts in the field of trapping nuisance animals and removing them quickly from your property while ensuring the animal suffers little stress and the least amount of impact possible.

It depends on the type of problem. For example, if a raccoon is sneaking into your kitchen at night by way of the doggy door and helping himself to leftover dog food, then you can handle the problem yourself by simply picking up left over dog food, and closing off the doggy door at night. However, if trapping and removing the raccoon is required, you will need a license or permit to trap the animal as well as a permit to release it onto a state approved release site. Additionally, if the raccoon or other nuisance animal has made a hole to gain entry into your home then hiring a professional company like Action Services that has the experience in sealing the hole with the proper materials to prevent it from regaining access is usually required.
