What Pest Control Service Can We Help You With?

Spider management focuses on reducing their food sources and hiding places. Most house spiders are harmless, but we identify dangerous species like black widows and brown recluses.

Spider Control:

• Vacuum webs and egg sacs regularly
• Reduce outdoor lighting that attracts prey insects
• Seal entry points around windows and doors

Wasp control requires different timing and methods. We locate nests during daylight but treat them at dusk when wasps are less active.

Wasp Management:

• Apply insecticide sprays directly to nests
• Remove food sources like fallen fruit
• Seal garbage cans tightly

We wear protective clothing when treating wasp nests. Professional removal may be necessary for large colonies or hard-to-reach locations.

Both spiders and wasps benefit from habitat modification rather than chemical treatments alone.

Cockroaches are among the most common and resilient pests found in homes. They are typically nocturnal and prefer warm, humid environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and behind appliances. You may notice signs of an infestation including droppings that resemble coffee grounds, a musty odor, egg casings, or actual sightings of live roaches—especially at night.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation:

• Droppings that look like black pepper or coffee grounds
• Musty or oily odor
• Egg casings (small, brown capsules)
• Live cockroaches seen at night or during the day (in large infestations)

Steps to Deal with Cockroaches:

• Clean Thoroughly – Wipe down surfaces, vacuum floors, and remove crumbs or food debris.
• Eliminate Water Sources – Fix leaks and avoid leaving standing water in sinks or pet bowls overnight.
• Seal Entry Points – Close gaps and cracks around baseboards, doors, windows, and pipes.
• Remove Hiding Spots – Get rid of clutter, especially cardboard and paper.
• Use Treatments – Place bait stations, use cockroach gel, or apply insecticide sprays in affected areas.
• Call us – If the infestation persists, contact Action 1 Pest Control.

Prevention Tips:

• Store food in sealed containers.
• Take out the trash regularly.
• Keep kitchen and bathroom areas dry and clean.

Scorpions are unwelcome and potentially dangerous pests, especially common in warm, arid regions. These nocturnal arachnids often enter homes seeking water or shelter, typically hiding in dark, cool places like closets, shoes, under sinks, or in the garage. Signs of scorpion presence may include live sightings—usually at night—or finding one during the day in unexpected places.

Signs of a Scorpion Problem:

• Live sightings, especially at night
• Scorpions found in shoes, sinks, tubs, or under furniture
• Activity in basements, garages, or near water sources

Steps to Eliminate Scorpions:

• Seal Entry Points – Block cracks, door gaps, windows, and vents to prevent access.
• Remove Hiding Places – Clear clutter, especially in dark areas like closets, garages, and storage boxes.
• Eliminate Moisture – Fix leaks and remove standing water to reduce attraction.
• Use Traps – Place sticky traps in suspected activity zones to monitor and reduce their presence.
• Apply Insecticides – Use scorpion-specific sprays around the home’s perimeter and entry points.
• Hire Action 1 Pest Control– For ongoing issues, our pest control specialists can implement a more aggressive treatment plan.

Scorpion Prevention Tips:

• Keep shoes, towels, and clothing off the floor.
• Install door sweeps and weather stripping.
• Trim vegetation away from the house and remove yard debris.
