"As a real estate agent, I recently worked with Frank Vargas from Bright Environmental on a time-sensitive situation involving a tenant complaint that escalated to a HUD inspection. One of the key issues was a reported roach problem that needed immediate attention. Frank was incredibly professional from start to finish. He understood the urgency and sensitivity of the situation right away and took swift, decisive action. What really stood out was his responsiveness—he assessed and addressed the issue in less than 24 hours, which is critical when dealing with compliance-related matters. He communicated clearly, showed up on time, and handled everything with a high level of professionalism. In situations like this, having someone reliable and knowledgeable makes all the difference, and Frank delivered. I would highly recommend Frank and Bright Environmental to anyone in need of prompt, effective, and professional pest control services—especially in high-pressure situations."

"Anchor Pest Control and Lewis in particular have been extremely professional and helpful. Was looking for a regular pest control contract and reached out to several companies. Anchor pest control stood out in their clear responses, and treatment schedule and speed as well cost. Lewis was very professional and always prompt in returning any calls/questions I had. Would definitely recommend them."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Nope, not typically, especially if a continuous food source is available. Rats will leave their nesting spots briefly to forage for food and water and then quickly return. The inherent danger of exposure keeps their departures short-lived. It's why resolving a minor infestation takes about three weeks, while a severe one can stretch to three months. Swift action is crucial to prevent rat populations from establishing a lasting presence.

The time it takes for termites to damage a house varies, but it generally does not happen within days or weeks. Significant structural damage typically takes several months or years to occur, with serious damage often taking 3 to 8 years. The rate of destruction depends on factors like the termite colony's size and maturity, the type of wood they are feeding on, and local conditions. It can take 3 to 5 years for damage to become visible and 5 to 6 years for the home's structural integrity to be compromised. However, some species, such as Subterranean termites, are more destructive and can cause extensive damage in as little as 2 years. Because of this risk, it is important to treat your home as soon as you notice any signs of termites.

Termites are most active and cause the most damage in the spring and summer, when warm temperatures and increased moisture accelerate their activity. This is also when swarming typically occurs, allowing colonies to expand. However, termites remain active year-round, especially in warmer climates or heated homes. An established colony can continue to damage wood 365 days a year, even during cold weather.

Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil,  and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.

The best way to ward off roaches is to take preventative measures and stay on top of routine extermination services. Keep them away by cleaning your kitchen free from crumbs, properly storing away food, covering your pet’s food bowl, and reducing moisture in your home to make your house less tempting for roaming cockroaches. Remove clutter—especially cardboard boxes that roaches love to hide in, and replace them with plastic tubs.
