The colonies are established by winged reproductives which usually appear "swarm" in the spring during the morning hours after a warm rain. If you do not notice the mud tubes subterranean termites create then the infestations may go unnoticed until this swarm happens in or around the structure. The "swarm" is a sign that a well-established colony is around the immediate structure. These subterranean termite colonies are located in the soil from which the workers build mud tubes to structural wood where they can then feed.

Mainly a summer pest, mosquitoes breed in standing water or soft soil. Eggs develop into adults in 14 days or less. To prevent them, replace standing water at least once a week (including bird baths, ponds, water dishes) and to keep them from coming indoors, use screens on windows and doors. We are experienced in dealing with all sorts of flying insect issues, and are ready to help you reclaim your space using proven techniques.

The Norway Rat is an excellent swimmer and is often found in waterfront areas, sewers, storm drains, underground burrow and yes in our homes. The Roof Rat is a phenominal climber, easily climbing trees, power poles, sides of houses, or utility lines. They prefer to nest above ground, and commonly nest in trees or thick shrubbery, as well as in the attics of our houses. Worldwide rodents destroy about on half of the food we produce. Most due to contamination of the food with ecrement. Rats eliminate an average of 20-50 droppings a day, along with an ounce of urine, onto whatever surface they are on when the urge hits.

Alpha Pest Control offers green, environmentally friendly pest control solutions. The key to the most successful Green Pest Management is the use of what is called Integrated Pest Management or IPM. The overall goal is to reduce any negative impact on the environment, while still continuing to provide the necessary pest management that clearly benefits our homes, food supply, and our health. It is less about the pesticides than it is about the overall manner in which we go about eliminating the potential for pests.

Termites are very common in Arizona. You might have termite issues if you notice mud tubes on the walls around the base of your house or business. You might also see peeling paint, grooves or dry rot on wood surfaces. The first step in termite control services is to remove scrap wood, firewood, and any other wood materials that are in contact with the soil. There should be at least six inches between any wood and the exterior soil. If you have a crawl space there should be 18 inches between the soil and the floor joists.
