I think my home may have a termite problem... what should I be looking out for?

Termites can cause serious damage to your home or business. If not controlled properly, these pests can cause extensive damage to the structure of any building. It is vital to address termites as soon as possible to avoid home repair costs.

Look for damage in your flooring, any change in texture or feel may me a sign of termites. Visible cracks on your home’s ceiling or interior walls may be a warning sign as well – termites consume the interiors of these structures and cause visual exterior damage. Regardless of warning signs, if you suspect termites, call our Buffalo termite control professionals immediately. When it comes to termites, it pays to be safe rather than sorry.

When is the Best Time for Bee & Wasp Control?

What is the best time to treat my yard to prevent bees and wasps?

June in Buffalo is the perfect time to prevent problems with bee & wasp colonies because the queen has only recently established her colony and it is still small. However in late summer, often the situation will need professional attention since there are more mature insects in the area than earlier in the year. Our Buffalo bee & wasp experts can help whenever you notice a problem, however. Give us a call and we will eliminate the problem, no matter what level it is. Learn more about the differences between wasps and bees.

Help! I Need Rodent Control!

Moles are tunneling throughout our yard! Is there any way to get rid of them?

Absolutely. No one likes numerous crisscrossing tunnels in their yard. Moles and voles are actually quite different. Moles eat earthworms and insects including grubs. When food is scarce, tunneling activity increases and lawn damage escalates. Voles are herbivores and can damage grass, flower bulbs, trees and shrubs by destroying their roots. They tend to be a problem in cooler Buffalo months as they do not care for that. Both can be eliminated from your yard, but different treatment methods are used. Contact us today and we will determine the best solution to rid your property of troublesome rodents.

Not sure how to get rid of cockroaches?

Cockroaches enter homes in search of food, water and shelter. Once they arrive, they multiply quickly which becomes a hazard to your health and your comfort. Cockroaches carry all kinds of bacteria that can cause food poisoning, diarrhea, allergies and rashes. The best approach to cockroach control is to start out with a well thought out plan. It typically takes more than one treatment to get rid of the infestation. Leave the planning to the team at Advanced Exterminating Co. We will thoroughly investigate your home to find the infestation sites and then determine which course of action is necessary for your home. For more information, contact us today!

What Are the Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation?

Bedbugs are flat, oval insects that hide in household furniture (often in beds, hence their name, though you can find them anywhere) and feed on human blood. While they don't carry any diseases and generally are not dangerous, bedbugs can be incredibly annoying, stressful, and disgusting to deal with. Signs of an infestation include unexplained musty odors, blood stains on your sheets, itchy red marks on your body in the morning (especially if they are arranged in a line), rust-colored spots on your sheets, or dark spots in your walls. You might also find bedbug shells or even see the live critters themselves. If you suspect an infestation, reach out to us right away.

Do You Offer Commercial Pest Control?

We do! Our professionals understand how important it is to take fast action if your commercial property has a pest infestation. Your company's reputation is at stake, not to mention adherence to laws and ordinances regarding clean and hygienic workplaces. We will arrive quickly and work efficiently to make sure your commercial property is completely free of any unwanted intruders.

Why Should I Call An Exterminator?

An exterminator gets the job done quickly and thoroughly. When you use a professional, you know that the work is done safely and that the chances of a repeat infestation are dramatically reduced. We can also alert you to any damages your infestation might have caused, such as structural damage or other issues. If you find pests in your home or business, always contact a professional exterminator rather than attempting to handle the problem yourself.
