Termites are incredibly problematic pests for homeowners. These wood-destroying pests cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage annually across the United States. If they move onto your property, termites can cause extensive damage to your home, leaving you on the hook for costly repairs.

The only good news about termites is they aren't dangerous to humans. They don't sting and will only bite if they feel cornered or threatened. Even if they do bite, they are so small that it will only feel like a tiny pinch. Sometimes you won't even feel a termite bite at all, and run-ins with termites are rare. The only health concern with termites is a potential allergic reaction to termite excrement, known as frass.

Just because they aren't dangerous to humans doesn't mean you want them around. Avoid the expensive damage that termites can cause to your home with a termite control plan from the experts at Gecko Pest Control.

Many species of rodents look more like family pets than scary pests. They have cute little noses, long whiskers, and fuzzy little ears—not so scary, right? Don't let their small size or seemingly harmless appearance fool you. Rodents are bad news for your Elysian Fields home.

To begin, rodents are dangerous. They spread diseases like salmonellosis and rat-bite fever, among others. Rodent droppings, urine, and dandruff can trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks. In addition, rodents can also be very destructive. They have to gnaw constantly to keep their teeth sharp and healthy and can chew through just about anything. In fact, rodents can gnaw through live electrical wires and plumbing, leaving you at risk for floods and fires inside your home.

If you have rodents in your home, don't waste time trying to tackle them by yourself. Instead, call us immediately and let our trained rodent control specialists remove the rodents in your home. We will also determine how they are getting inside and help you make sure these pests don't return. Protect your home and your family from rodents with the help of Gecko Pest Control.

For Elysian Fields residents, it might feel like mosquitoes are everywhere. Here are some of the reasons why they appear:

• Environmental conditions: Mosquitoes are drawn out by heat and humidity, which this area is abundant with. When conditions grow warmer or become damp, people may notice increased mosquito populations on their properties. 
• An abundance of people: Female mosquitoes need human blood in order to reproduce, so if people are present on a property, perhaps during an outdoor gathering, mosquitoes may be out in full force. Additional factors such as body sweat, alcohol consumption, and the use of perfume can make certain people more attractive. 
• Landscaping factors: These pests utilize areas of stagnant water or shady places to lay their eggs. Having kiddie pools, bird baths, puddles of water, or leaf piles can give them numerous places to breed.
• Time of day: Mosquitoes are also most active during the hours of dusk and dawn. It’s very common for people to see an uptick in activity during these times. 

In order to address local mosquitoes, Gecko Pest Control is here to help. We provide detailed services that bring immediate results. Our process begins with a complete yard inspection in order for our technicians to locate key breeding grounds. During this step, we make sure that our customers are provided with helpful tips on ways to prevent additional mosquitoes.

As far as treatments go, we have a few options to choose from in order to provide the most effective results. We usually provide holistic fogging treatments and install In2Care Mosquito Traps for continued support. To provide service without interruption, we usually recommend services on a monthly basis.

Fleas are one of Elysian Fields' most determined parasites. They attach themselves to hosts and go for a free ride directly into homes where they proceed to feed off of pets and perhaps even people.

Here are a few quick household items that might keep fleas away:

• Essential oils: Citronella, lavender, and rosemary all contain natural properties that fleas find repelling. Diffusing these scents may provide some relief. 
• Apple cider vinegar: By combining apple cider vinegar with water and spraying areas of the home, people may benefit from a natural barrier of protection. 
• Plants: There are also plants such as spearmint, lavender, and chrysanthemums that contain properties that repel fleas and may be useful outdoors.  

While these items may provide limited protection against fleas, the most effective way to deter fleas is with professional help from Gecko Pest Control. We provide safe and cost-effective services that are backed by more than 20 years of experience. Our technicians deliver encompassing treatments to eliminate fleas while also ensuring that customers have proper guidance on reducing flea infestations in the future.

While crickets may seem friendly and harmless, they can become quite a nuisance for Elysian Fields homeowners. Their incessant chirping and rapid reproductive schedules can make life very uncomfortable.

Here are a few ways that they get inside of homes:

• Slipping through crevices in the foundation while looking for warmth and shelter
• Getting brought in as food for various pets
• Being attracted by porch lights left on at night
• Inhabiting wood piles that are located too close to the home
• Taking advantage of moisture accumulation around kitchen sinks
• Accidentally getting transported indoors with gardening materials or outdoor gear from camping trips

There are a variety of innocent ways that crickets can become an issue for local homeowners, so professional help is the most expedient way to address them. For more information on cricket prevention, call Gecko Pest Control today.

Cockroaches are some of the most tenacious pests in the Elysian Fields area. They are scavengers that will do anything in order to find a food or water source. If they are able to access a local home or place of business, cockroaches will hide from people in order to reap their benefits.

The average female cockroach is capable of laying one ootheca, or egg sac, that can contain upwards of 16 eggs a month for ten months. This simple fact can cause a large outbreak usually without people’s knowledge. Additionally, cockroaches are notoriously difficult to eliminate because they hide from people, have hard exteriors making them difficult to crush, and the most common species, the German cockroach, has a growing immunity to many treatments.

At Gecko Pest Control, our services are backed by more than 20 years of experience and the most qualified team of technicians. Our service begins with a free comprehensive home inspection so that we can determine the extent of an outbreak and identify the species that’s present. The treatments follow a holistic approach in order to safely eliminate cockroaches from their source. We will also make sure that customers have tips on ways to prevent cockroach activity in the future. These services are guaranteed as well. For more information on cockroach control, call us today.
