New Winter Treatment for 2013-2014

At Tanner Pest Control we are constantly looking to add value to our customers through innovation and better servicing methods. To offer an effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program we involve all methods: exclusion (sealing openings), mechanical (placing traps), preventative control (residual pest control products) and performing a thorough inspection during each treatment. The exclusion treatment is key during the winter service (December 1st through February 28th ). 
 The exterior winter treatment consists of sealing and treating any cracks and crevices. We do this by using clear silicone to seal off pipes, electrical cords, gas meters, A/C units, or any other openings that could pose a potential home to outside invaders. This treatment is key because it stops mice from squeezing through any openings the size of a dime (1/4 inch) or larger. The sealing treatment is also essential for insects such as ants, earwigs, centipedes, or arachnids to enter the home. 

The other part of the exclusion treatment is to use copper mesh in weep holes or other large openings so that rodents can't chew through. The copper mesh is designed to be convenient for any hole or opening 1/2 inch or smaller. It doesn't stain or leave any residue if moisture is applied to the mesh.

The interior treatment consists of three parts. The first is the interior flush-out. We treat your baseboards, spot treat windows, window wells, and any other areas where pests reside. The products last 60-90 days so the winter treatment will last well into the spring before the next service. The second part is a wall injection. We inject dust into plumbing voids under the sink, or any other wall openings where pests might be nesting. The final application is a bait application for mice, rats, cockroaches, crickets, ants, moths, or spiders.

Rodents are very active during the winter months. Bait boxes for mice and rats are placed on the exterior or on the interior of the home. We monitor, inspect, and refill the bait stations for rodent activity each treatment. Bait boxes are an excellent way to prevent rodents from getting inside the residence because they enter the station, consume the commercial grade bait and then return to the nest.

Happy Holidays!

Foundational Power-Spray
We power-spray 6-10 gallons of the highest commercial grade organic-based products along your foundation. We also treat your eaves, bushes, trees, property line and kids playsets. This 6 foot barrier stops any pest from coming into any entrance of your home.


Lawn Granulation 
We granulate your lawn for grubs, ants, earwigs, crickets and all sorts of other turf pests. With each service, we include baiting ant mounds individually along with the occasional snails, crickets, and earwigs eating up your garden. 


Eave Treatment
We have extension poles that reach 20-25 feet. We can reach your second story eaves to remove wasp nests, spider webs, hornets nest, and mud daubers. We also power-spray troubled areas with the products so the pests won't return. 

Rodent Bait Application
Each service includes the treatment for rodents, if there are signs of any. We cover rats, mice, gophers, and voles. We use commercial grade bait or traps for every rodent problem.




Interior Flush-Out
The inside is a great way to eliminate pests from the inside out. We do this by treating baseboards, garage, windows, doors, and any wall voids that could be a potential threat for unwelcome invaders

Common Utah Crickets

Picture
The Snowy Tree Cricket is also known as the “thermometer cricket”. They get the name because their sound is easily countable and a reliable temperature indicator during summer months. Snowy tree crickets are more slender and elongated compared to field crickets.They are most active in late summer months and early fall (July to October). The females lay eggs in the bark or stems of fruit and ornamental trees, with apple, peach, and especially cherry. Hopefully you wont find them in your pie...

Picture
The Field Cricket. Most people identify this cricket as the "Dark Cricket". They are usually dark brown or black in color. Field crickets are active from June to September. The females prefer to lay eggs in moist soil. Unlike other crickets, field crickets cannot live or reproduce indoors... thank goodness!
