I reached out to get quotes from various companies and narrowed down to 2, including Pest Defense. My process of elimination was based on cost and customer service. I ultimately went with Pest Defense since they answered when I called and remembered me requesting a quote the prior week. I'm glad I did because power spraying sets them apart along with their customer service. An added bonus is that I am assigned the same tech for every visit which is very well organized in their Customer Portal.

Services maybe good but I didn't get past the quote phase. It was a $130 for an initial spraying of the house unless I signed a one year contract even if I sold my house I would have to pay approx over $250 to cancel. Thats not on the website. I understand they guarantee their services but they also guarantee they get married with a contract. I'm the type of person when I'm happy with the service I'll continue without a contract and be a loyal customer.

I was finally able to meet and speak with the technician in person (as opposed to not being home). He as super professional and friendly; did a super thorough service. He even took the time to explain to me the technical details of the chemicals used. Great experience, highly recommend!

We are new to the El Paso. Pest Defense Solutions was the only company that reacted to our email and immediately was willing to help us. We needed the outside treated before moving in to protect our dogs. They did so and after service got a very detailed email what had been done and which products were used. We are very happy with them. They came a week later to treat the inside of the house. Also great service and very good recommendations. Thank you

I enjoy having this company as my pest control. They are very attentive and answer any and all questions. Not to mention the cost is great. There are so many over priced pest control companies. This is definitely one to go with. Haven't seen many bugs since they starting coming. A+ If you do see any they will send a tech out asap. Great services.

The best pest control in El Paso. Very professional technicians. They always listen to my concerns. Phone service is great. I get full outside spray every other month and can get the inside done if I have issues. The spray is safe for my dog and cats. I would recommend them to my family and friends.

Pest defense is simply the best! I love that in between my scheduled times to come treat my house, if any bugs or spiders come up, they automatically guarantee they will come spray again with no charge. Their work is guaranteed and their customer service has been phenomenal. We have a ditch in the back of our house and lots of trees so we get so many insects, but luckily we have these guys to come save the day! Definitely recommend. Thank you pest defense.

Giving this company 5 stars because they truly understand the meaning of customer satisfaction and is very military friendly. I was having problems with a few unwanted guests and called them up for a consultation. After talking to a rep who gave me a reasonable quote they sent someone out the next day. The guy who came over was awesome and super friendly. He took care of my insect problem and it’s been great so far. Highly recommend!! Thank you again pest defense!

We used Pest Defense Solutions for about a year, and they were great! We were scheduled for bi-monthly treatments, and always received reminders of the appointments in advance. If we ever had any issues between appointments, they were very helpful. The techs were always professional, and the service was well worth the price. We live in a very old house, and could definitely see a difference in appearance of bugs once we started using PDS. Only reason we stopped using them is because we’re moving to another city. Would highly recommend!

Please be carful before signing a contract with them. I’ve had nothing but miscommunication from the moment I signed. I was offered a promotional rate for signing the 12 month contract and on first auto withdrawal was over charged, the amount was corrected but affected other transactions from my Bank account. Next had my routine pest control and not sure if I received a text reminder or not, either way I had no way to ask them to spray inside my home. When I called to schedule an appointment for inside pest control I was hassled by the manager on how they sent text messages and I was supposed to let them know at that time via text message. I wasn’t calling to argue with the manager simply was looking to schedule an appointment. He didn’t like that I didn’t follow there text message policy. When I asked to speak with someone else he stated he was the highest person I could talk to and continued to “explain” to me about how the text message was sent to me and how I need to make arrangements via that text message if I want inside pest control. From a company that has high claims on being the best I regret getting in bed with them for an entire year. Pest control shouldn’t have to be this hard, trust me, us home owners have bigger maintenance issues on our homes that require more attention. Be transparent and do as you say. If the owner of the company sees this please give me a call, I don’t do well with text messages. I still need pest control inside my home.

Friendly and professional from the very beginning! They explained services in great detail, didn’t pressure us into signing up and instead emailed me an overview of services so I could discuss with my husband before signing up. Technician calls to give a heads up that they’re on their way. Technician Matt takes pride in his work and gives great customer service. Took his time while applying the pesticide was not rushed at all, like most pest control companies usually are. Happy customers!

I love PDS. I get notification when service is coming up, completed and a link to pay online. Great Customer service and bang for my buck. I live in a new housing area and with all the construction we were worried about all the creepy crawlies being dug up everyday and looking for a place to hide at night. I have seen a few creepy things outside of the house but nothing inside the house! that's all I can ask. Would highly recommend.

Note: Check pricing before committing to pest services. Made the mistake of not understanding contract before hand. After obtaining services from Pest defense Solutions, I was well satisfied with their services. Their technicians were professional, knowledgeable in their chemicals usage, and provided excellent customer service which I take seriously in every business that I deal with. I had two major ant holes in front and back yard and very small ants underneath the sink in kitchen area. Since my last visit, (July 2016) I no long have those pesky critters lurking on premises. Well worth the expense!

Brown Dog Tick Carrier of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Brown Dog Tick Pest Control

The brown dog tick is found throughout the world. This species gets its name for the brown color and the fact that it is usually found on flea-pest-control-el-paso-texaspet dogs. While brown dog ticks do not usually bite humans, they may do so if the dog host is no longer available. Brown dog ticks are known carriers of Rocky Mountain spotted fever and several other tick-borne diseases like canine babesia and canine ehrlichiosis.

Appearance

Brown dog ticks are about 3 mm long unengorged or up to 1/2″ when engorged with blood. They are usually reddish brown but their color can be a gray-blue when engorged. As larvae, brown dog ticks have six legs. Nymphs and adults have eight legs. Adults have an oval-shaped, flattened body.

Behavior

Brown dog ticks usually infest dogs. While they usually attach close to the ears or between the toes, they can be found anywhere on the dog at various stages of life. Unlike most species of ticks, brown dog ticks can go through their entire life cycle indoors. These ticks thrive indoors in dry, warm conditions such as a kennel, which has earned this species the nickname “kennel ticks.”

This type of tick is referred to as a three-host tick, which means it drops off the host after a meal but before each developmental stage. It is possible for a brown dog tick to remain on the same host for its entire life.

A tick infestation in the home is usually introduced by a pet dog. Sometimes the infestation is not apparent until ticks are visible crawling on floors or walls. When the problem has become this apparent this is when you are going to need professional help and flea and tick pest control is what you need by a pest control company, call us today at (915) 591-2847

Reproduction

After a blood meal, a female brown dog tick will lay up to 3,000 eggs on a flat surface. These eggs are usually found on window casings, Flea-and-tick-pest-control-El-Pasobaseboards, furniture, the edges of rugs, and curtains. The female dies shortly after depositing the eggs, which hatch in 20 to 60 days. The tiny larvae will attach to a dog as soon as possible, but they can live up to 8 months without blood. After attaching to a host, the larvae will become engorged and leave the host to molt in one to three weeks and transform into a nymph. The nymph will once more find a host and engorge over a period of 4 to 9 days. The nymph will detach and molt into an adult flea in 12 to 29 days, then seek a dog again. Adult ticks can survive for up to 19 months without food. After engorging on blood for up to 50 days, the adult will mate, drop off the dog, and lay eggs.

Ticks can produce up to 4 generations per year under ideal conditions.

Managing Brown Dog Ticks

Brown dog tick infestations can be difficult to control, especially a large infestation in the home. A large-scale infestation requires professional pest control and a four-stage process that involves sanitation of the home, treatment of the dog, indoor treatments, and outdoor pest control. If you are dealing with a brown dog tick infestation on your dog or in your home, contact Pest Defense Solutions today for help. Call us at (915) 591-2847

American Dog Tick Secrets Finally Exposed

The American dog tick or wood tick is found in almost every area of the United States and it is the only species of tick found only in North America. American dog ticks prefer dogs as hosts, unlike many ticks that infest deer and other wildlife. The wood tick is the number one carrier of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, but it can also transmit other diseases to pets.

Appearance

flea-pest-control-el-paso-texasThe American dog tick is about 5 mm (3/16″) when unengorged and three times larger, or 15 mm, when engorged with blood. American dog ticks are brown with mottled gray or whitish patterns on the back and a flattened, oval-shaped body. As larvae, they have six legs. Nymph and adult ticks have eight legs.

Behavior

It is believed that wood ticks are attracted to the scent of animals and this is why they are commonly found along trails and roads. American dog ticks usually live in grassy areas of low vegetation where large mammals like dogs will pass through. Unlike the brown dog tick, the America dog tick does not survive for long indoors.

Like other ticks, these arachnids are parasites that feed on a host’s blood. Ticks use claws and hairs on their body to crawl through a host’s fur before digging under the skin with specialized mouthparts. The mouth releases an anesthetic as the host drinks.

Reproduction

After mating on the dog host, adult female ticks will detach and find a place to lay eggs. When indoors, this is often done in a potted plant, but outdoors ticks will lay eggs underneath leaves in a garden. A single American dog tick can lay up to 5,000 eggs at once.

When the larvae emerge from the eggs, they will seek out small hosts like mice, squirrels, and chipmunks and feed until they are engorged before dropping off and developing into nymphs. Nymphs will attach to a new host and drink for about 6 days before dropping off and molting into an adult tick. As an adult, the tick will seek a third host, feed, and mate on the host. After mating, the male tick dies and the female drops off to lay eggs.

An American dog tick can develop fully into an adult within 3 months when conditions are ideal, but their development can take up to two years.

If you find a feeding tick on a pet, remove it by grasping it close to the mouth with tweezers, applying gentle pressure until the tick releases. Do not squeeze the body, as this can increase the risk of spreading disease. Make sure the mouthparts are completely removed from the skin.

If you have a tick infestation around your property, contact Pest Defense Solutions for a customized strategy to protect yourself and your pets from bites.
