Since 1980, we have been protecting homes and investments from unwanted pest problems across Southern California. That means 41 years of experience! We service Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Believe it or not, being an entrepreneur for Andy started at a very early age. Andy first became an entrepreneur at the tender age of 8 years old when he ran his own egg route in his neighborhood. Interestingly enough, his egg route was so successful that sometimes his mother borrowed money from Andy to pay the rent. During Andy's adolescent years, he met his wife Nancy in the 3rd grade and finally started dating her sophomore year of high school. Andy played football and basketball, while Nancy was head cheerleader. The high school sweethearts stayed together into college as Andy received a football scholarship from Stanford University. After graduation, Andy and Nancy headed back down to beautiful Southern California to start their own pest and termite control company, Bug Squad and POW! Exterminating, Inc. The company was established in 1980 and still going strong just like their marriage. That is what Bug Squad and POW! Exterminating is all about. We are a family operated company and your home is where our heart is.

FAQs for bug and insect pest control service projects in Lake Forest, CA

The most obvious sign of a spider infestation is seeing numerous spiders in one area. Other indicators include spider webs, an abundance of flying insects (which attract spiders), and the presence of spider egg sacs. If you notice hundreds of tiny spiderlings, it's a sign that eggs have hatched. Proactive prevention and regular inspections are essential to keep your home spider-free.

The duration of spider extermination depends on the treatment method and the size of the affected area. Localized treatments may require you to air out your home for several hours before it's safe to return inside, and fumigation treatments can take several days. Your extermination professional can provide an exact timeline based on your specific situation.

While a spider extermination treatment can last a few months, it's recommended to schedule routine treatments about four times per year (once each quarter) with a spider extermination pro to keep your home spider-free. An extermination professional can advise on the optimal frequency based on your home’s location and the season.

To deter spider infestations, seal entry points and maintain excellent insect control. Spiders are attracted to places with abundant prey. Natural repellents can offer additional protection. Scents like mint and chestnut oil disrupt spiders' navigation and, when applied around doorways and windows, can reduce the likelihood of spiders settling inside. These repellents, along with treatments and recommendations from a professional exterminator, can provide long-lasting results.
