Pigeon Control Tulsa, Broken Arrow

Pigeon Control Tulsa, Broken Arrow

Pigeons for most people look like cute, friendly birds but pigeons are a pest bird that can be a major factor in defacing, destroying structures, bridges and even our health. Pigeons feces is highly acidic and corrosive to metals, to concrete and other building materials and pigeon droppings harbor numerous diseases that can spread to human. Pigeon control in Tulsa is necessary to help reduce the spread of these diseases.

Stadiums, industrial plants, food crops are all affected by these pest pigeons. They can contaminate food and lets just face it, nobody wants to be walking in a stadium and have droppings fall on them. These birds infest industrial facilities and corrode the metal buildings, ladders and more. They ruin products and can cause sickness. This is why pigeon control Tulsa is so needed.

Termite Services in Broken Arrow

Termite Services in Broken Arrow.

With spring weather comes many pests like ants, spiders and of course, termites. These pests are already present in most cases but spring weather brings spikes in humidity and temperature which makes termites swarm. With so much sandy loam soil in the Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby and Coweta area termites tend to be a bigger problem then areas with other soil types. These loose, sandy loam soils are easy for termites to forage through and establish colonies. It also doesn't help that Oklahoma is a high activity state for termites.

If you encounter a termite swarm in or around your home/business, you likely need a termite treatment. We highly suggest having a termite inspection to see if any visible damages can be found. We suggest a treatment regardless of damages as termites will not go away unless properly treated.

In many cases you have the options of choosing a chemical treatment better known as a perimeter termite treatment or baiting the property. Either way some type of termite service is necessary to stop the colony and future damages to the structure. EnviroTech Exterminating offers both types of services with top rated products. You get local service from a local company right here in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The job will be done properly with one goal in mind, solving the termite problem you are dealing with. For more on an EnviroTech Exterminating termite treatment or termite services please visit our termite services in Broken Arrow website.

Ant Control Broken Arrow

Ant Control Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

     Spring is here and springtime means ant time. Ants are a serious problem during the spring months. As a matter of fact, ants are the number one call we get this time of year. So, what can be done about your ant problem? You could do an EnviroTech Exterminating Ant Service. We service the Broken Arrow, Bixby and Jenks metro area.

Why use EnviroTech?  Our service is done using one of the best products available for ants. We do an exterior perimeter service treating all the weep holes, the window sills and entry points. We also use a food bait around the exterior to provide the ants what they are looking for. In extreme cases additional interior baiting may be needed. This all works to infect the ants foraging and then returning to the nest site. These ants then transfer to insecticide to other ants through the social behavior they exhibit. In time, the colony simply implodes.

This ant treatment is unlike any ant service you have likely had in the past. It's highly effective and the results are Guaranteed.  For more on your Ant Control Broken Arrow please visit us online.

Ant Control Services Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Coweta, Tulsa

Ants will invade structures in the relentless search of food and water to feed the colony.

Bed Bug Treatment Services and Types of Treatment Options

   
     We receive calls everyday from folks dealing with one of the worst pests you can have infest a dwelling, bedbugs. In Broken Arrow alone our call volume has more than doubled over the last two years. This call volume extends into the Jenks, Bixby, Coweta and Tulsa area. No home is free from getting these pests. Bed Bugs are parasitic and feed on human and other animal blood. They relay on blood meals to grow and lay eggs. One of the most common things I hear in a bed bug phone calls is that the person has been treating with foggers, dusts and a number of other products for weeks. Sometimes they have already spent $300-$500 on chemicals but still have bed bugs. Why is it that these foggers and other products are not working? Well, for the most part these pests are experts at hiding. It is very rare for an individual without proper training and expertise to clear a home of bed bugs. I'm not saying it's impossible, it's just rare to have success.

Bedbugs can quickly build a resistance to chemical products and in many cases using a fogger just makes matters worse. We do not use foggers in any way when dealing with bedbugs. Typically a bedbug infestation can be dealt with in a number of way's but some of the methods used to treat are not very efficient. For instance, freezing can work but you need super cold temperatures below zero for a long duration of time. Our temperatures here in Oklahoma do not tend to get cold enough and who can stay in a home for day's at below zero temperatures!

Another method is steam but imagine trying to steam an entire house. The steam temperature must be higher than most store bought steamers can go and this really is only feasible for spot treatments. It's likely not going to solve or eradicate a bedbug infestation, bed bugs can be anywhere and everywhere.

Another method is the chemical treatment. Chemicals do work if done properly but it can take numerous treatments these day's due to the high numbers of bedbugs that are now chemical resistant. a light infestation may only need one or two treatments but a bigger bed bug infestation could need numerous services. In many cases a series of chemical treatments can cost more than doing a heat treatment.

Heat is likely the most effective and efficient means of treating bedbugs. The nice thing about heat is bedbugs cannot survive the temperatures used doing the treatment process and unlike cold which takes day's, heat only takes hours. Literally you can have the dwelling heat treated and stay the night in the dwelling where with just chemical treatments you may need to stay out of the home as most everything gets wet. Heat also kills bed bug eggs! In most cases we at EnviroTech put down a chemical barrier after our heat process is complete. The reason for doing this is to help minimize the chances of the customer reintroducing these pests into the home. After all, you got them from somewhere and they are just as easy to get again.

It is recommended that vehicles be cleaned and vacuumed regularly to reduce chances of a bed bug or bedbug eggs making it's way into the home or dwelling. Bedbug eggs are sticky, tacky and are easily introduced by accident on clothing, shoes, bags, back packs and so on.

Raccoon Removal

Raccoon Removal

The call volume for Raccoon Removal has increased over the last couple weeks. It's the time of the year where raccoons are looking to nest up inside a fireplace, an attic or in a crawl space. Once they are established in these dwellings it's only a matter of time before they have babies.

The calls are coming from all over the Tulsa metro area including places like Broken Arrow, Coweta, Jenks and Bixby. These urban pests thrive in the city environment. One thing to also consider is that other pests may also invade when there is an entry point. It's best to make sure you're home is sealed off from the pest intruders. Raccoons are not going to leave on their own. They must be removed and relocated. The risks of letting them be are high and the damage they can cause can be life threatening.

Pest Control

Pest Control

     Today I was able to speak to a potential customer regarding her pest control needs. She was dealing with a pest that nobody likes to talk about but everybody should, Bed Bugs. We discussed the way's treatment is performed and how one company can differ from another in their approach to dealing with these pests. I was very glad to hear that she has learned so much about bedbugs. I will say one thing that she stated really stood out to me. She mentioned that not every pest control company she spoke with seemed to have any real knowledge about bedbugs. She was very happy to have found me online and that I was the first to really spend any time explaining the treatment process, the life cycle of bedbugs and actually offered advice.

Although pests such as bedbugs are infesting more homes each year most infestations can easily be stopped if dealt with early on. I was happy to explain our treatment processes and schedule a time to meet to discuss in more detail. Nothing is more satisfying than helping others when they feel they have nowhere to turn. That is one thing about what we do that I can truly say makes my day. Even though dealing with bed bugs or any pest can be stressful we provide a means to an end to a very stressful situation.

Thanks for taking the time to read our post.

EnviroTech Exterminating Bed Bug Heat Treatment

EnviroTech Exterminating Bed Bug Heat Treatment. Serving Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby and the metro Tulsa area

A horrible trend has been occurring locally with bedbug infestations. I personally have seen a rise in the number of bed bug cases in Tulsa and the surrounding area and this trend can be blamed on a number of factors. Some factors include people moving from homes or apartments with bedbugs to other properties thus spreading this pest to the new home. They can be also spread via people that have them accidentally leaving eggs or even live bedbugs at a movie theater, favorite place to eat, a library, a school... All places where human activity is present can potentially get bed bugs.

So, what can you do to protect your home or business from getting bed bugs in the first place? Well, there is no real preventative measure that will insure you don't get these pests. All you can really do is be proactive in minimizing the chances. How do you do this? Well, first you must not spend time in places that you know have bedbugs. Now, we know that in most cases you will not know if somebody or a place has bedbugs but staying away from hoes that do is a good start. Look for signs of bed bug activity, spotting on chairs, mattresses, bed frames, or even seeing live bedbugs on the walls or crawling on a bed. If you see these things that's pretty much all the evidence you need to stay away from where you see them.

Don't buy used furniture without inspecting the furniture first. Used mattresses and boxsprings are not a good idea. If you even think bedbugs might be present do not sit down or rub up against the furniture. Have regular pest control services done at you're home or business. This will not stop a bedbug infestation but it sure could help by putting a layer of protection down to reduce the chances of bedbugs even making it. Keep in mind, bedbugs usually come in on the body, on clothing or on something you bring into the home. Bedbugs are introduced into a structure usually by people visiting, working or living in the structure.

What treatment options are available to deal with bed bug pest problems?

You have a few options available here.

First, you can study this pest, learn all about them and their life cycle and do you're own pest control services. This way for the vast majority of people does not work out. In the end they usually have spent a great deal of money on pest control products and time with little to no control of the bed bugs.

Hire a professional to treat the bed bug problem with pesticides: You can have a professional pest control operator do a chemical treatment. This could be like gambling. If the operator knows what they are doing, has done many of these treatments you can get them under control this way in light to mild infestations. It however may require a series of pest control applications and these treatments require pesticides to be placed all over the structure. It's not the same as a general pest control treatment service and the costs of chemical treatments can vary. Once done the costs could be higher then a heat treatment as multiple services may be needed. This may also require vacating the property for the night to allow the chemicals to dry before re-entry to the home or structure. A usually the bedbugs are not all killed or gone at the time of service.

Hire a professional to do a heat treatment service: Heat is a known killer of bedbugs. A professionally done heat treatment can eradicate bedbugs. This likely is the quickest way of getting relief and requires the least amount of follow-up work. Success rates are far higher of success with heat over just chemical.

Freezing the bedbugs: This may work to kill some bedbugs but it does not get cold enough in Oklahoma for a long enough period of time. Bedbugs are frozen with freeze machines but this may be better suited for localized areas of a known infestation and leaves much to risk.

Steam: Steam kills bedbugs but this like freezing them might be better suited as a part of a bedbug control plan.

Chemical and Heat Treatment: This provides both fast relief from bedbugs and a residual in place just in case. It also is nice if you have concerns that bedbugs have been spread to you're vehicle.

So what's next? Well, obviously you need to first inquire about a bedbug treatment, set the appointment and get the home ready. EnviroTech Exterminating offers Heat and or Chemical Treatment Services. We even offer a totally green service available with our heat treatment if desired for additional protection. We can customize you're service to meet the needs of you're unique situation because every infestation is different and every household is different. Visit Bed Bug Control Services for more information. Our local service area include Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Owasso but with bed bug treatments we do offer services to areas such as Haskell, Muskogee, Okmulgee, Skiatook, Pryor.

Fall Pests Cause Pest Control Problems

Fall is here and the pests will cause pest control problems

With fall and cooler weather all sorts of pests from rodents to spiders are looking to find a warm, cozy home to shack up in. This can be a residential home or a commercial business. These pests do not care which one as long as they have their needs met. After all, nobody wants to be out in the cold when they could easily find an entry point to get in.

So, what do you need to do in fall to prepare for these pests? In Oklahoma we have weather that can change from one minute to the next so it could be 60 degree's today and 30 degree's tomorrow. This makes the homes look like paradise to a mouse or spider. Typically a home or business can have dozens of easy access points for these types of pests to enter. You have weep holes, soffit, garage doors without good seals, rotted trim, rotted garage framing and cracks and gaps in siding, brick and other types of holes, access points all around the home. We recommend dealing with these security problems so spiders and rodents don't take advantage of you.

As the weather gets colder, more and more of these pests will enter. You need a plan in place to minimize their ability to stay. After all, rodents leave feces and urine just about everywhere they go. Mice are known carriers/vectors of disease.

EnviroTech services the Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby and Coweta metro area's. We are locally owned and operated and love helping good people with their pest problems.

Termite Activity Still High in Broken Arrow

Termite Activity Still High in Broken Arrow

It seems that with all the rains we had this summer termite activity is still high in the Broken Arrow metro areas. A number of calls have been coming in for termites this fall when activity for these pests drops in fall. The typical termite season runs from about mid February through July then this tapers off in August as the rains have ended and things dry up. We had one of the wettest August months in many years and this continued into September which means a higher water tables and moist soil.

Termites are nothing new to Broken Arrow as we live in a very high activity zone. These pests are responsible for billions of dollars each year in damages to homes. This is why EnviroTech Exterminating suggests homeowners have yearly termite inspections done. If you have a termite concern please visit Termite Services for more information or call (918) 282-7621 to speak to our representatives about your unique pest termite issue.

With the heavy rains we have endured in the local area pests are in high numbers. Ants seem to be the #1 problem currently with Spiders a close #2. With such huge amount of rain these pests are seeking shelter from all the water flooding their nests and dispersing food. Many of these pests are working into residential homes and commercial businesses.

We have seen a steady number of calls for ants and spiders here lately. The best service is an outside perimeter treatment to reduce the number of ants in the area so they are less invasive. Spiders can also be controlled with a perimeter treatment. Our recommendation is to have the home or business treated regularly on a bi-monthly or quarterly service interval. The time frame really depends on the number of pests in you're general area or the level of infestation you have.

Pigeon Control in Broken Arrow, Owasso, Jenks, Tulsa and Bixby, Oklahoma

Pigeon Control in Broken Arrow, Owasso, Jenks, Tulsa and Bixby, Oklahoma

Pigeon Control in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Pigeons although they look harmless are responsible for contaminating billions of dollars in food and raw material each and every year. These pest birds contaminate water, food, raw material and cause billions in damage to structures each and every year. Their feces accelerate the deterioration of buildings and increase the cost of maintenance. The droppings from pigeons may kill vegetation and it produces an very objectionable odor. Pigeons consume and contaminate large quantities of food destined for human consumption and or livestock. Pigeons also carry disease to people and livestock through their droppings.

Some of the disease pigeons carry are pigeon ornithosis, encephalitis, Newcastle disease, cryptococcosis, toxoplasmosis, salmonella poisoning, and several other diseases. The pigeons feces in the right conditions can harbor airborne spores. These spores can go airborne at any time from the wind, people stepping on them or moving objects where the spores may be.

Termite Swarmers are Active in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Termite Swarmers are Active in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

The number of calls for Termites has spiked as of this week. We are seeing a number of homes with termite swarmers also called Alates. These termites are reproductive termites and when you have a swarm it's an indicator that you have termites. If they are found outside It could also mean somebody near you has termites and they have now spread to your home or business.

  So what does a termite swarmer or Alate look like? Well, they have white/clear wings that are thin and these wings fall off relatively fast. The termite itself will be darker in color and have a body that is relatively the same width from head to the end of their body.

Termites are sometimes confused for being ants but they are nothing like their ant cousins. Ant's are more segmented and have a clear break or joint between the head, body and end. Even though we are talking termites here ants can be just as destructive as termites. Carpenter Ants do damage to structures just like termites do. We can assist with both of these pests.

With spring here and more humidity the swarmers are very active. These termite colonies are spreading to start new colonies. Treatment is absolutely necessary and if termite control is what you are needing please call EnviroTech at (918) 282-7621 for a Free Estimate. EnviroTech is locally owned and operated in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and offers a wide range of pest services from termite inspections, green pest control to nuisance wildlife removal for the Broken Arrow, Jenks and Bixby metro area.

Nuisance Wildlife Removal Services Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Oklahoma

Nuisance Wildlife Removal Services Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Oklahoma

This week I had the opportunity to help some folks that called with an animal stuck in there wall. Upon arrival I found an opening that had been chewed out by squirrels in the soffit of the home. The animal in the wall however was located along the inside wall of the garage about 15' from this opening. Since squirrels are such good climbers I had my doubts that it was a squirrel stuck in the wall unless it was a baby squirrel.

This home had no access to the attic space as the entry had been blocked off by the electronic garage door equipment so getting inside was not going to happen. We did however take a sheetrock knife and cut a small 3" x 3" hole in the garage side of the wall where the noise was coming from. Once the piece cut was removed a smaller sized sparrow poked it's head out the hole and just looked at us. The bird starred for about 10 seconds before it jumped up on the side of the opening and then flew away. I could tell by the smile on the bird that it was happy to be free :)

Our Rescued Baby Squirrel 

Needless to say a baby squirrel was found in the hot water tank closet in the garage. This squirrel was not injured, she had just fallen out of the attic space. I wanted to reunite the squirrel with it's mother but It could take literally days to reunite her with her mother due to the lack of access and the risk of her falling 5' if we just put her back in the 3 inch opening that was available in the closet. The baby squirrel also risked life from dehydration so we needed to act fast to assure this baby squirrel would have the highest possible chance for survival. I contacted a wildlife rehabilitation facility in Foil, Oklahoma called Wild Heart Ranch. The people at the ranch were very pleasant and understood the need for this animal to have a place to go and asked that I bring her in.

Once I arrived at the ranch I was given a tour of the facility and got to meet many of the wildlife animals they care for. Our baby squirrel was immediately cared for and fed. She was placed with three other squirrels that were about her age. I said goodbye to the baby squirrel knowing she was in good hands. The ranch that took her in takes donations in order to run and they help hundreds of animals that wouldn't have a chance without this help. Anybody that looks to make a donation should consider donating to this rehabilitation facility that helps these animals with such care. You can find their website at http://www.wildheartranch.org

Natural, Green Pest Control Services

Natural, Green Pest Control Services

(918) 282-7621            

Serving Broken Arrow, Jenks and Bixby, OK

Today I want to take a moment to talk about some of the reasons why a customer chooses to use our natural, green pest control services.

Every day we as Americans are bombarded with toxins. We eat foods treated with pesticides and drink water treated with chemicals. With population growth comes higher food demands. As a country, a world with a growing population the demands for more food and clean water require more chemicals and pesticides. We need food that we grow to produce faster and more resistant to insects so it's not ruined. All these human induced pressures means we must use more pesticides and usable potable water from places that we may not have been treating in the first place.

Sewage water is being treated in places to irrigate golf courses, and other land due to water shortage issues. Desalination plants are becoming more and more popular as a means of treating sea water. The truth is as more people populate the globe more methods of maintaining these populations are necessary thus the need for more chemical and pesticides to produce larger crops to feed the masses, water to keep a growing population alive.

Green Pest Control Services.. Safer For What Matters Most

  With all the toxins we are subjected to daily it's not a bad idea to consider using green pesticides rather than synthetic pesticides in your home. I'm not going to tell you one is better than the other as they both do their job. With a proper Integrated Pest Management "IPM" program you may find that you're business, home doesn't need the highly toxic pesticides and can use something more natural or greener.

Some circumstances where you may want to use a green pesticide over a synthetic:

1) You have customers in and out that may smell the synthetic pesticides. I've been to restaurants with my family, walked in the door and almost been knocked down by the smell of synthetic pesticides. I knew from the smell of the pesticide that they just had a roach treatment recently. The smells were strong and we decided to go eat somewhere else.

2) You are concerned that your employees/family may have allergies to synthetic pesticides. Many people have allergies or even asthma.

3) You have young children in you're household. Babies that are at crawling stage constantly put their fingers in their mouths. Less Toxic pesticides are better then more Toxic pesticides in this situation.

4) You don't have a serious pest problem and want the least amount of toxins but still want to reduce pest populations and keep them under control. There truly may be no need for a synthetic pesticide in your unique situation.

One thing I want to make sure people understand is Green may not necessarily mean Organic. An Organic pesticide may be made of things like mint oils, garlic, neem oil and other essential oils. A Green pesticide may be made of a pyrethrin. The product of a plant that most pesticides are made from. It attacks the nerve center of insects. Most synthetic pesticides are derived from taking this pyrethrin and synthesizing it to make a pyrethroid.

Hopefully this blog posting gives you at least some insight on why you may be better off using green pest control services rather then using a synthetic. If you are a residential property owner or business owner/manager that is interested in a Green IPM Service please feel free to call us at (918) 282-7621 to schedule an appointment. I'd be happy to help... For more on our services visit us at Pest Control Services today. EnviroTech services the Broken Arrow, Jenks and Bixby metro area and is locally owned and operated.

Mole and Gopher Services in Broken Arrow, Jenks & Bixby, Oklahoma.

You know moles and gophers are destructive little pests. They thrive where food sources are plentiful. Ever notice as you're driving down the road all the mounds of dirt in clusters from these critters? Moles and gophers are active year round so you will see these mounds regardless of the time of year. They can be destructive to a yard since gophers eat roots and the moles leave tunnels in the soil.

So, why do you have moles or gophers? Well, moles chase after things like earth worms and grubs. They can sense, detect these creatures in soil so moles will follow them around depleting them and moving. This is why a neighborhood that has them will see yard after yard infested with these pests. Once they deplete the food in a yard they just move next door and then back and forth.

Gophers love roots so if you plant a garden, spend time working in the yard planting flowers, plants and so forth then gophers could be a problem. Gophers differ from moles in many ways. They are after different foods, moles are gophers look nothing alike and gophers tunnel deep into soil where moles prefer the area closer to the surface where their food is easily found and the soil easier to tunnel through. Gophers can dig deep in the soil and may have living quarters a few feet down.

So what do we do about these pests? First thing I always look at is the soil types that we are finding these animals in. If you live in the souther parts of Broken Arrow, Jenks or Bixby then it's likely you may have sandy loam soil. This soil is found in area's closer to the Arkansas River. These animals thrive in sandy loam soil types. If you start going north the soil changes to more of a mix and then to other soil types which can be harder to tunnel through for these animals. They don't prefer clay nearly as much as sandy loam. I would say this is likely the reason Jenks, Bixby and Broken Arrow tend to have more issues with moles then I see in the north eastern cities.

We can of course trap them, which helps but may not be a total solution since they migrate and move around. Once you do this you may just be inviting you're neighbor's moles over to take control of the areas you just cleared. They can be poisoned but once again you may end up just seeing more move in because of the competition being removed. They can be smoked out with products that kill them but once again it may not be a total solution. They can be driven out with products that make what they eat taste horrible but yet this may not be a total solution. The truth is that nothing is a total solution for these animals because they are pests that migrate. Most people will tend to have moles or gophers because of where they live. It's kind of like having ants every spring... It just happens.

EnviroTech can help by looking at your unique situation and determining what may work best for the area, place, soil type you may have. Sometimes the best thing is a combination of methods. Sometimes depending on what's around you only one method is needed. I would recommend scheduling an appointment to find out what may be the best way to help your mole/gopher problem.

No matter what you decide to do about these pests I hope this page at least helps you to understand these animals better.
