Can you imagine your steak being served by a dirty rat at Porterhouse Steakhouse? You might snicker at the thought, but there’s nothing funny about rodents taking over your home. How about if you were enjoying a nice picnic at Blue Heron Park when your lunch was picked up and carried away by ants? Even worse, how would you like to wake up to those ants in your home? We wouldn’t want that. That’s why we offer pest control in Moses Lake.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Both insects can damage wood, but there are key differences between termites and carpenter ants that tell them apart. Carpenter ants tunnel through moist wood, leaving behind smooth tunnels and sawdust-like piles, as they don't eat the wood but rather carve it for nesting. In contrast, termites actually consume wood, creating irregular galleries filled with mud and dirt, and leaving behind mud tubes as their signature. In terms of appearance, carpenter ants have segmented bodies with heart-shaped heads and larger front wings, while termites have more oval bodies with straight antennae and equal-sized wings.

Yes, stink bugs can play dead. Stink bugs don’t just release bad odors, they have a defense mechanism to pretend to be dead, even when flicked over and swept into a trash bin. That’s how stink bugs may keep coming back even if you thought you got rid of them.

A solution of vinegar and water can deter moles, but be careful about the strength of the solution. Too much vinegar can dry out and kill grass or other plants when distributed too frequently.

Gophers are ubiquitous in certain areas, and the only way to completely get rid of them is to put down gopher wire two feet below the surface of your soil and vertically along the edges of your yard. Unfortunately, this may not be a practical solution unless you’re completely redoing your yard or installing an aboveground garden. Alternatively, you may consider putting underground rock barriers around the edge of your yard to discourage gopher visits. However, you’ll still likely get some pests because they can dig as deep as 6 feet below the surface.

Flea eggs can’t take heat, so use that information to your advantage. Take any affected clothes and linens and wash them on a hot setting (140℉ or higher) to kill them off. You can also rid carpets and furniture using heat. After vacuuming all surfaces thoroughly, use a steam mop or cleaner to get rid of the remaining flea eggs and residue. 

Flea eggs also can’t handle extreme cold. You could seal affected linens and store them in a freezer.
