Here's what actually happens during a Pest Authority service visit. 👇

Inspection first. We check both inside and outside your home, including the foundation, entry points, attic, crawlspace, and known problem areas, to identify current activity rather than guess at it.

Targeted treatment. Products are applied where pests are actually active and where they enter, not sprayed broadly across the whole property.

Sealing recommendations. Where gaps or entry points are found, we flag them so they can be closed off, not just treated around.

Documentation. Every visit is recorded, so you always know what was found, what was done, and what's being monitored.

This isn't a spray-and-leave. It's a program built around your specific property.

Rodent control isn't a trap in the garage and a "good luck." Here's what a real Pest Authority rodent program actually includes. 👇

1️⃣ Inspection. We identify existing activity, entry points, and conditions attracting rodents to your property.

2️⃣ Exclusion. We seal or flag the gaps, gaps around utility lines, and foundation openings that rodents are using to get in.

3️⃣ Targeted treatment. Bait and trap placement based on where activity is actually occurring — not a generic setup.

4️⃣ Monitoring. Recurring checks through the fall and winter, when rodent pressure is at its highest.

September is the month to start this — before rodents are established for winter, not after you hear them in the walls.

Barrier 360 is exactly what it sounds like: continuous pest protection around the full perimeter of your home. 🛡

Most pest problems start on the outside. Ants trailing along the foundation, spiders settling into siding and door frames, rodents testing the gaps around utility lines. Barrier 360 is built to address that activity at the perimeter, before anything finds its way indoors.

Here's what it covers:

🗓 PREVENT. Stop infestations before they begin, on a scheduled visit rather than a reaction to a problem you've already noticed.

🛡 PROTECT. A continuous treated barrier around your home, maintained on a recurring schedule so your coverage doesn't lapse between visits.

🏠 PEACE. Professional service you can count on, with documented visits from a team that knows your property.

One barrier. Every side of the house. Every season.

September's pest of the month is the rodent. 🐭

As temperatures start to drop, mice and rats begin actively scouting for a warm place to spend the winter — and a house with food, shelter, and a few unsealed gaps looks a lot better than a cold field.

Here's what to know this month:
🔲 Rodents can squeeze through openings as small as a dime (mice) or a quarter (rats)
🔲 They're most active at night — scratching in walls or attics is often the first sign
🔲 A single pair can produce dozens of offspring in a season if left unaddressed
🔲 The scouting phase — right now — is the easiest time to stop them

Pest Authority's rodent program is built around this exact window: inspection, exclusion, and monitoring before they move in for winter.

Summer's winding down — but pest activity isn't slowing down yet. It's shifting.

Here's what to expect as the season turns:

Ants and rodents start scouting for indoor entry points as outdoor conditions become less favorable ️ Spiders remain highly visible as they feed on the last wave of summer insect activity

Mosquitoes stay active later into fall than most homeowners expect, especially in warmer regions

Overwintering pests (stink bugs, boxelder bugs) begin their move toward structures as temperatures start to drop

The pests that were outside all summer are actively looking for a way in right now. That's exactly the transition a recurring plan is designed to catch — shifting focus before the problem shows up inside instead of reacting once it has.

Pest Authority's seasonal treatment adjusts automatically as the calendar turns, so you're covered for what's active now, not just what was active in July.

Get ahead of the fall shift before it starts.

Before you unpack a single bag in a hotel room, run this two-minute check for bed bugs and other pests.

1️⃣ Keep luggage off the bed and floor. Use the luggage rack, or the bathroom tile, until the room is cleared.

2️⃣ Pull back the sheets and check the mattress seams. Look along the piping and corners for small rust-colored or dark spots — this is often the first sign, even before you see a bug.

3️⃣ Check the headboard. It's one of the most common hiding spots and one of the least-checked by guests.

4️⃣ Inspect the fabric on furniture near the bed. Chairs and curtains within a few feet of the bed are common secondary hiding spots.

5️⃣ If you see anything suspicious, don't unpack — ask for a room change immediately and keep your luggage sealed until you're sure.

This won't guarantee a bed bug will never come home with you — but it dramatically lowers the odds, and it takes less time than checking your email.

Save this before your next trip. ✈️

Student move-in season is one of the highest-risk windows of the year for multifamily and student housing pest compliance.

Move-in day means dozens (or hundreds) of units receiving furniture, boxes, and belongings from unknown sources — including secondhand furniture and long storage-unit stays, both common bed bug vectors.

Here's what property managers should have in place for students during the semester:
✅ Documented pest inspection for every unit
✅ A clear, fast-response protocol for tenant-reported activity in the first 30 days
✅ Common-area monitoring — laundry rooms, lounges, and hallways see the heaviest traffic
✅ Lease-ready documentation in case a pest-related dispute comes up later in the year

That can of spray on the store shelf and a Pest Authority treatment plan are not solving the same problem. Here's the real difference.

DIY store products typically:

Kill what's visible on contact, and nothing else

Offer no lasting residual protection once they dry

Provide no inspection, so the entry point or nest stays unaddressed

Come with no documentation if you're managing a rental or commercial property

Pest Authority treatment typically includes:

A property inspection to identify the actual source, not just the symptom

Species-specific product application, matched to what's actually active

Barrier and residual protection designed to keep working between visits

Full service documentation for your records — critical for landlords, HOAs, and commercial accounts

Schedule a professional inspection instead of guessing.

Before backpacks, dorm bins, and moving boxes come inside, here's what to check first. ✅

DORMS & COLLEGE APARTMENTS

Inspect secondhand or storage-unit furniture before it enters the room

Check mattress seams for bed bug activity before making the bed

Look for gaps around windows and doors common in older dorm buildings

FAMILY HOMES

Inspect backpacks and lunch boxes returning from summer camp or travel

Check window screens and door sweeps before the AC-to-heat transition

Clear yard debris and standing water before backyard traffic slows down for fall

RENTAL APARTMENTS

Report any pest activity to property management in writing, right away

Check shared laundry room bins and hallways for signs of shared-space pest issues

Confirm move-in pest inspection records if you're a new tenant this fall

A five-minute check before you unpack saves weeks of dealing with a problem after you're already settled in.

Three things most people get completely wrong about mosquito prevention.

Myth 1: "Citronella candles keep mosquitoes away." Reality: citronella provides mild, short-range masking at best — it doesn't reduce the mosquito population around your yard, and effectiveness drops fast outside a small radius.

Myth 2: "If I don't see standing water, I don't have a breeding problem." Reality: mosquitoes can breed in an amount of water as small as a bottle cap — clogged gutters, plant saucers, and tarp folds are common breeding sites people overlook entirely.

Myth 3: "Bug zappers reduce mosquito bites." Reality: zappers primarily attract and kill other flying insects, not the mosquitoes actually biting you — several studies have found mosquitoes make up a small fraction of what zappers actually catch.

Real mosquito reduction comes from targeted barrier treatment and breeding-site elimination — not gadgets and candles.
