los angeles ants, ant control in san diego, riverside, san bernardino, palm springs

EVERY SERVICE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING


Eaves Treated	Window Casings and Door Frames	Foundation Treated	Periodic Grounds	Fence Line
This Plan is for properties with a moderate to heavy variety of landscape plants, shrubs and trees (see below) that draw plant-sucking insects (aphids and whiteflies) that draw ants, spiders and other crawling insects to your property.

Reward program treatments are performed for annual service plan customers at the time of their regularly scheduled service.

These plants are Major Hosts for plant attacking insects (aphids, whitefly, etc.).
Roses	Hibiscus	Conifers	Fruit Trees	Citrus

Plant insects and their secretions are the major food sources for ants and spiders.
Keeping these plants in check is the first step in ant and spider control.
We maintain an active inventory of all plants on your property to ensure the proper service is always performed.


		EARLY OCTOBER to MID NOVEMBER Plants, small trees, and the entire grounds are inspected and treated where necesary to reduce egg-laying insect populations. (Note - Adult insects are controlled prior to egg laying. Also, as the weather cools, be careful not to over water. This can encourage the growth of fungus).
		MID NOVEMBER to LATE DECEMBER Treatable plants, small trees and fruit trees are sprayed using a Botanical product to control the eggs of sucking, homopterous insects. This treatment is not applied to certain evergreen trees (such as pine, junipers, and cypress). (Note - Control of the insect egg stage prior to hatching is one of the most important tools of our service!) While working to control the egg stage we are not spraying the entire grounds, as this pesticide is not labeled for soil insects.
		LATE DECEMBER to EARLY FEBRUARY A second Botanical product is applied to provide control before insect eggs can hatch, and continued control of plant-damaging spores is accomplished. These first two treatments during the winter are critical to controlling your insects later during the warmer months, and providing effective year-round control.
		EARLY FEBRUARY to LATE MARCH Treatable plants, small trees including evergreens, fruit and citrus are power sprayed using an Botanical insecticide/fungicide as the weather starts to warm. This reduces the first crop of new migrating insects. Fungus continues to be a problem during this time of year. Plants that are infected with a fungus become easily stressed. This stress leads to the drawing of more homopterous insects which in turn draw ants and spiders to your property.
		LATE MARCH to EARLY MAY Plants, small trees, and the entire grounds are inspected and treated where necessary to gain control over the seasonal migration of plant attacking insects. Our experienced technicians search out locations likely to harbor future ant colonies. An botanical and/or low-impact granular insecticide is applied to these areas to prevent establishment of these colonies.
		EARLY MAY TO MID JUNE A treatment using Botanical or low impact products is applied to most plants, shrubs, and trees to reduce migrating insect populations. Insect activity is picking up this time of the year as the weather warms. NOTE—DEPENDING UPON YOUR SERVICE SCHEDULING, THE TREATMENTS PERFORMED ON YOUR HOME AND LANDSCAPING MAY VARY BY A FEW WEEKS.

All these treatments are done for you at no extra charge because you have chosen this annual service program.

*No implied guarantees for plant insects or fungi.
