Mosquito Control
How it Works
Five Star Pest Control uses a dual method of treatment. First we apply a larvaecide to all standing water on and adjacent to your property to stop mosquitoes from emerging. Then we apply a pyrethrum(for an instant knockdown effect which breaks down in sunlight in about 2 to 4 hours) and residue to all trees, shrubs, and shaded places where mosquitoes rest and hide. Depending on conditions this residue continues to be effective for as a month.
Our Most Popular Small-Scale Mosquito Control Services Include:
Residential homeowners maintenance | Fairs | Concerts | Backyard Weddings | Home Parties | Barbeques | Corporate Events | Adult & Larval Spot-Treatment
Tick Control
Traditional tried-and-true methods of tick control involve the strategic application of pesticides after a careful survey of your property’s needs.We don’t need to remind you how much of a health hazard deer ticks can be.
Five Star Pest Control can help protect your family from tick-borne illnesses. With the use of approved products, tick populations can be suppressed by 90% or more, thus reducing your chances of contracting diseases in your own yard.
As always we employ the latest advancements in ecologically responsible tactics and materials keeping the environment and your family our number one concern.
Carpenter Ant Control
Carpenter Ants are wood destroying insects; The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that there is over 1 Billion Dollars worth of homeowner’s damage caused by these wood destroying insects each year. When Carpenter Ants invade a structure they hollow out galleries in the wood. The smooth clean, sculptured appearance of there nesting galleries is a characteristic of Carpenter Ants-thus their name. This is an interesting point, but these perfect galleries can diminish the structural integrity of your home. That can mean damage to your home.
While carpenter ants don’t eat wood, they will feed on nearly anything people eat; particularly sweets and meats. They will also feed on other insects.
98% of all Carpenter Ant treatments can be completed without applying any pesticides inside your home. A perimeter treatment and the use of an ant bait gel inside where they are seen, typically kitchens, bathrooms, sliding doors, and fireplaces. A second perimeter treatment is conducted approximately three months later to provide you with continuing protection. All warranties offer are renewable on a year by year basis.
What are carpenter ants?
Carpenter Ants are social insects that live in colonies. These colonies can grow to over 4000 insects in a single nest. Many times in a building or home, carpenter ants will establish satellite colonies. This can make it difficult to locate the sources of infestation.
How do they get into my house?
Carpenter Ants can enter your home while searching for food, moisture and shelter in a variety of ways. These include:
- Crawling up the foundaion and finding an entry point
- Dropping from tree branches on to your roof
- Crossing utility wires that lead into your house
- Being brought in on firewood or other items
- Or just by walking in the front door
