Fly Facts, Appearance and Diet

Flies are a winged nuisance pest and are carriers of disease and vectors for pathogens and parasites. Flies are common familiar insects found all over the world. Flies have two pairs of wings and compound eyes. Flies develop from larvae, called maggots. Adult flies are usually a nuisance some distance from the breeding location of the fly larvae.
The house fly is the most common type of fly found in and around domestic locations.
Flies feed on a variety of material, including decaying or fermenting organic matter.

Fly Health Threats &amd Concerns

Flies feed on trash and filth and can carry and transmit diseases and pathogens because they regularly land on decaying and rotten materials such as animal waste, sewage, garbage, rotting debris, dead animals and other organic matter. House flies do not bite. Rather, they transmit diseases by landing on sources of pathogens and then landing on food and other areas that come into contact with humans.

Fly Infestation Fly Control

The most common attractants of flies in Southwest Riverside County are manure, grass clippings, household garbage and animal waste, among others. Fly problems typically begin outdoors and make their way inside through doors and windows.

AmeriGuard Pest Defense provides fly control services. Fly control is a multi-step approach and involves identifying the type of fly causing the problem as well as locating the breeding source of the fly larvae. The fly larvae may not be located in your backyard, but may be coming from a neighboring location as far as 1-2 miles away. The fact that flies spend most of their time in the air presents an additional challenge for fly elimination. A successful fly control service depends on the cooperation of our customers.

Rodenator Service - Ground Burrowing Rodent Control for Gophers, Squirrels and Moles

The Rodenator is a chemical-free solution for ground-burrowing pests like gophers, squirrels and moles. The Rodenator combines a precisely measured combination of an oxygen and propane mixture that delivers a concussive force to the underground burrow systems of vertebrate pests. The Rodenator can also collapse the tunnel systems ensuring that new burrowing pests aren't able to easily move into the existing burrow systems.

Gopher Control Alternatives

AmeriGuard offers a variety of options for getting rid of gophers and squirrels. The Rodenator is perfect for open landscapes where a severe gopher problem exists. The Rodenator is also a great alternative for sensitive areas in which pesticides cannot be used, especially in organic farming, wine vineyards and horse ranch settings, among others. The Rodenator is an option for pesticide-free gopher treatment.

AmeriGuard recently completed a gopher inspection where we observed a severe infestation of gophers and an abundance of fresh gopher activity. Due to the open space provided by this property and the length of time of the gopher problem, we were able to use the Rodenator to provide a quick and effective knockdown of the gopher population.

We filmed some of the gopher service using the Rodenator. 

The Rodenator is considered an organic gopher control method, meaning that it is safe for use in organic farming settings. The Rodenator is an environmentally safe alternative to gopher baiting services. 

If you are interested in learning more about how a Rodenator service can get rid of a gopher problem at your property, please contact AmeriGuard Pest Defense at (951) 652-0505 to discuss your gopher control needs. You may also contact us online by submitted a contact form on our website. 

Green vs. Botanical vs. Organic Pest Control

Organic vs. Botanical vs Green Pest Control

In an ever-changing world more and more consumers are becoming earth conscious and environmentally friendly and AmeriGuard Pest Defense is proud to offer services geared toward our customers that prefer this alternative method of pest control.

Organic Pest Control

There is a growing organic movement and we often hear about organic cotton, organic produce and organic farming. However, the term "organic" means something different in the pest industry. Organic chemicals are chemicals that contain carbon and hydrogen as their basic structure (Source: University of California). It is important not to become confused by pest control companies advertising their services as safe, non-toxic and organic. In fact, in California, it is illegal to advertise pest control services that are "safe", "non-poisonous", "harmless", "non-toxic" or "EPA-approved". 

Botanical Pest Control

Botanical pest control can also be misleading to consumers looking for alternatives to traditional pesticides. Did you know that the highly lethal strychnine is botanical? That's right - certain plants contain substances that are naturally poisonous to insects and other mammals. Chrysanthemum flowers produce pyrethrum and strychnine is produced from dried seeds from the strychnos tree in India. 

Just because something is labeled as organic or botanical does not mean that is what you intend to have used at your property to control your general household pests, such as ants, spiders, earwigs, crickets, beetles, fleas, etc.

AmeriGuard Green Defense

AmeriGuard offers a Green Defense program using low-impact botanical products with blends of naturally derived essential oils and pheromones specifically designed to take down target pests by blocking the insect's nervous system without impacting other animals. Examples of the botanical products used include wintergreen, rosemary among other essential oils.

As you can see, even products that come from nature and are botanical are not non-toxic or 100% "safe" and it is misleading to advertise as such. The best way to ensure that the pest populations are reduced at your home is to combine a reduced toxicity approach with Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

Is the AmeriGuard Green Defense service right for you?

Reducing use of pesticides on your property is the first step. Great green service also relies on Integrated Pest Management (IPM). An IPM approach can be very effective at reducing pest populations at your property. Below are some strategies for minimizing pest habitats and reducing infestations within your home.

• Clean rain gutters 

• Keep tree branches trimmed back from roofs

• Store firewood away from the house to reduce rodent and spider harborage sites

• Keep trash in sealed containers

• Make sure windows are screened securely

• Seal window frames

• Seal any exterior cracks, crevices or holes

• Keep bushes and shrubs trimmed and back from the house 

Contact AmeriGuard Pest Defense by calling (951) 652-0505 to discuss your pest control concerns and schedule a botanical pest control service appointment today. We look forward to speaking with you about your pest issues and working toward minimizing pest outbreaks.
