"Shane responded to my HomeAdvisor inquiry within minutes. He worked with me for an appointment time. He was here on time. He inspected my problem. And gave me the good news that there was no evidence (droppings) of the roof rats living in my roof. They can be controlled if we do a few things. When we offered to pay him , he said he did free inspections. No charge. He could have easily charged us for the time he spent. I would highly recommend Amaral Pest Control. Excellent service."

"Robert Myers is SUCH a nice guy. Two of his crew (didn't get their names) were respectful and knew just what they were supposed to do. Robert first met with us personally to inspect our house and right away had his guys doing the job including dry rot repair, spot-hitting the areas of detected infestation of termites and went out of their way to match our house paint stucco and trim colors when they saw that our original paint didn't match as well anymore. We would recommend 805 Termite Control highly. Robert knew we needed the job done for escrow and didn't stack on a lot of other additional jobs ... only did what was necessary to pass inspection for our refi...and we know we'll need to have our house tented at some point. When we decide to do it, we won't go to anyone else but 805 Termite/Robert Myers."

FAQs for bug and insect pest control service projects in Santa Maria, CA

The timeframe it takes to eliminate gnats varies considerably depending on the infestation's severity and the treatment approach. According to pest control professionals, completely eliminating gnats from your home can take several days to a few weeks. Success depends mainly on identifying and addressing the source of the infestation, such as overwatered plants, decaying organic matter, or moisture problems. Following treatment, continued prevention measures significantly improve long-term results.

When applied correctly, professional exterminators use treatments that present minimal risk to household members. Many companies now offer family-friendly options specifically formulated to be less toxic while remaining effective against gnats. If necessary, your pest control professional should provide clear instructions regarding temporary evacuation during application and advise on appropriate waiting periods before resuming regular activity in treated areas.

Though often grouped together, these small flying insects have distinct characteristics and habits. True gnats commonly gather around houseplants and moist soil. Fruit flies, which are lighter colored, primarily target overripe produce and fermented items. Drain flies, recognizable by their moth-like appearance, breed in the organic matter in drains and plumbing. Identifying which type you're dealing with helps determine the most effective elimination strategy.
