About Antioch, CA & Our Pest Control Services
In 1848, John Marsh, owner of Rancho Los Meganos, one of the largest ranches in California, built a landing on the San Joaquin River in what is now Antioch. It became known as Marsh’s Landing, and was the shipping point for the 17,000-acre rancho. It included a pier extending well out into the river, enabling vessels drawing 15 feet of water to tie up there at any season of the year. The landing also included a slaughterhouse, smokehouse for curing hams, rodeo grounds, and even a 1½-story dwelling, embellished with a liberal amount of fretwork, that was brought around the Horn to serve as a home for the mayordomo (manager) and his wife. In 1850, two brothers, William and Joseph Smith, founded a town slightly west of Marsh’s Landing, and named it Smith’s Landing. In 1851, the town’s new minister persuaded the residents to change the name of the town to Antioch, for the biblical city of Antioch.

Bedbugs like to strike in the evening and will remain active until just before morning. While lying on an infested bed, bedbugs bite a person’s exposed skin, creating crimson itchy marks. Bed bugs were previously thought to be extinct in the United States, but they’re making a comeback thanks to overseas travelers. The most common places to find them are motels and condominium developments. These bugs may live for a year without eating. This enables them to go from one location to another until they discover a comfy location with food.
Also, they are now residing in couches and may be transferred from house to house utilizing used furniture. Domestic animals with thick hair, such as dogs and cats, provide a great hiding area for bedbugs. Taking public transit, such as buses, trains, and taxis may expose you to bed bugs, which you may then bring home with you. Bedbugs are six-legged parasitic parasites that feed on human and animal blood. They are about a quarter of an inch long and have an oval flat shape. A typical female will lay 5 to 7 eggs each week and produce around 500 eggs throughout the length of her life, which can range from 12 to 75 months. Between 6 and 17 days after being deposited, the eggs mature into nymphs. Pesticides and herbicides have no impact on bed bug eggs.
Termite Pest Control in Antioch, CA
Wood eating termites feast upon decomposed vegetation and trees and shrubs within the dirt. A wood eating termite’s jaws are capable of tearing pieces of cellulose substance. This capacity is the thing that will cause worry in our dwellings. A normal nest of underground termites may well consume 16 grams of wood on a daily basis. This is about 13 lbs. of wood annually. Subterranean termite laborers only measure from 1 cm to a few millimeters in size, their particular eating routine is effective at producing costly property damage. House footings, furnishings, cabinets, and even magazines are eating areas for termites. Subterranean termite homes are generally formed in the earth. In these piles, termites construct elaborate tunnel systems and then use dirt tunnels in which they will access above ground wood resources. Drywood termites dwell within the hardwood that they consume as well as moving into and infesting walls and home furniture. Termites are typically referred to as silent destroyers, as they will often be hiding at home or in your lawn without any indication of damage.
Ant Pest Control in Antioch, CA
There are around 270 distinct kinds of ants in California. Ants are more prone to infiltrate homes in cold, damp weather, such as the winter, when they are seeking a warm place to stay. In Northern California, Argentine ants are one of the most common invaders. The ratio of 300 queens to 1,000 worker ants is not unusual in Argentine Ant colonies. They don’t make a permanent home and instead relocate when a threat is detected. Argentine Ants are known to live in cities because they have a constant supply of water.
