Shimmy Pest Control OC, Orange County, Laguna Hills, California

What is the most common pest problem you see in Orange County homes and commercial properties?

After almost a decade now of having been in business here in Orange County, CA, I can tell you that the most common pests we get calls for are ants, cockroaches, termites, bedbugs, spiders and rats. At Shimmy Pest Control OC, we provide you with a complimentary inspection if you ask us. Also, we will not just get rid of the pests for you, our pest control service provides maintenance, so they don’t come back.

Are your pest control treatments safe?

Yes. Safety is top priority with us at Shimmy Pest Control OC. We use eco-friendly, low-toxicity EPA-registered products and will discuss your concerns first before we treat your property. Most of our treatments dry quickly and are safe. As long as you let us know your needs, we will always let you know which pre- and post-treatment procedures we will use, so your family (and your pets) stay safe and comfortable.

How often should I get my home treated for pests by you?

For most Orange County homes and commercial properties, we recommend a bi-monthly treatment or once every two months to keep the pests under control throughout the season. If you live in a forestry area or an area which is more damp like the beach, you might need monthly treatments, particularly during warmer months when insects breed more quickly.

Why do pests come back after I use store sprays or traps?

Those in-store sprays and store-bought traps only kill what you can see which is just a surface issue. Rodents and insects can actually live in colonies behind walls, beneath foundations, under the ground and even in your furniture. If you don’t get to the root of the problem, you around bound to miss the potential infestation that is churning. As a pest control professional, I use integrated pest management (IPM) which involves finding out where pests live, breed, and enter and not merely where they show up.

What makes Shimmy Pest Control OC different from the name-brand firms?

We’re family-owned, locally based, and we truly care about doing your pest control with great efficiency. With close to a decade in pest control experience, we’ve seen how corporations send out their employees. These employees are trained and given a formula to use. However, when you hire an expert local Orange County pest control company like ours, we make sure those pests do not return. Employees at a large company are limited as to what they can do based on their hourly rates. At Shimmy Pest Control OC, we get to know your home, your neighborhood, and your pest behavior.
