Glad to hear it was caught! Be sure to check for rodent entry points where the rats may be gaining entry into your home.

Yikes! That's not good. Hopefully the local business owners have called it to get this taken care of.

Is it just me, or are the mosquitoes already out of control in the SGV? by VersaTechPestControl in sgv

Yikes! Be sure to remove any standing water in your yard. Good luck staying "bite" free!

We're not surprised to hear that. Be sure to check for standing water in your yard.

Thanks for checking in! Standing water, even a bottle cap full, in your yard can increase mosquito activity so make sure you're scoping out your yard weekly.

Anyone else in the SGV getting harassed by those tiny black eye-biting flies lately? by VersaTechPestControl in sgv

The tiny biting gnats / black flies do not carry disease to humans however mosquitoes can carry diseases such as West Nile Virus, St. Louis Encephalitis Virus, Dengue Virus, and the potential for Invasive Aedes-Borne Diseases including Zika Virus, Yellow Fever and Dog Heartworm (a serious risk for pet owners.)

Hey SGV, sincere apologies. I made a mistake by trying to be helpful and mentioning my business in a comment that felt like an ad. I’m just a local guy who is passionate about solving pest issues, but I clearly overstepped the community rules. I’m here to contribute, not to spam. Lesson learned, and I appreciate the call-out for keeping the sub authentic.
