Termites have been around for several million years. Termites play a valuable role in the environment by helping break down fallen trees, logs and branches into organic material that helps enrich the soil. Termites become pests when people build wooden structures that these wood loving insects love to eat! Central heating in homes and our moderate San Francisco Bay Area climate allow termites to feed nonstop. There are 40-55 species of termites in the U.S. but there are only three types in the Bay Area that we have to worry about.
Cockroaches are transmitters of many disease including food poisoning, salmonella and E.coli. Recent studies show the mounting evidence that German Cockroach feces and "dander" are responsible for increased evidence of Asthma among children living in chronically infested dwellings. It is important to combine a treatment from Omega Pest Control with proper sanitation and harborage site reductions. This will ensure effective control and limit the chance of re-infestation. Our highly trained technicians will be able to assist you in establishing a control program that meets your needs.

Most people don't like spiders but they are actually beneficial predators and they usually don't harm people. They are also resilient creatures and a difficult pest to control in and around your home. Omega Pest Control can greatly reduce the numbers by using targeted applications and employing integrated pest management solutions.
People with or without pets can experience problems with fleas. Large numbers of fleas can be found on wild animals and feral cats. Keeping wildlife from living under decks or in your crawl space will greatly reduce the chance of you experiencing a flea infestation. With the current advances in on-animal treatments, the need to apply chemicals inside the home has been greatly reduced. When fleas do become a problem, your control measures should be targeted toward areas that are frequented by pets and other animals as well as directly on the pets.
