EJ PEST CONTROL INC.
TERMITES: These pest can be your homes worst enemy. Without you even knowing, they eat the wood in your home. Termites eat wood using bacteria,protozoa and microbes that live inside their stomachs, they are able to digest cellulose, the main constituent of wood. The amount of damage can escalate very quickly, and can compromise the integrity of your home very quickly. Termites cannot eat through solid concrete,but they can get through a crack only 1/32 of an inch. Openings this size or bigger occur wher two pieces of concrete are joined together and around pipe openings through the concrete or where the concrete has cracked.Termites can infest a structure even during its construction phase if termites are present in the soil. Whether the home is occupied or not, makes no difference to the termites. We can create a soil barrier treatment. This will create a treatment zone in the soil at potential entry points into the structure. This treatment will not eliminate the entire termite colony, it will causes the termite colony to move to other food sources such as tree roots, fallen limbs, other homes, etc.
Termite treatment zones are intended to control termites for extended periods of time, however they may be breached due to physical disturbance of the treatment zone (landscaping activities,construction,erosion,etc.) tree roots growing through the treatment zone, natural degradation of the termicide,etc. For these reasons, we offer available renewable warranties.
Cockroach
There are many kinds of cockroaches. The American, the German, Oriental,Brownbanded are most common. They are also called by other names such as Water bugs or Palmetto bugs.Roaches carry egg casings attached to their bodies, or drop them in out of the way places. All cockroaches like warmth and moisture. They like tight places where their bodies touch the top and bottom, places like cracks between wall and floor, in cabinets, refrigerators, drains, paints, garbage, soiled laundry, soap, etc. Roaches aren't pleasant to have around, but they won't bite or sting you. Cockroaches crawl through waste and garbage, so they may pick up and spread bacteria and diseases.

Ants:
There are thousands of species of ants found all over the world and in just about every type of environment. Our specialist will need to identify what species of ant is infestiing your home in order to utilize the best available chemical. We need to find their colony and treat it direcly.
The life cycle of the ant has four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Fertilized eggs produce female ants (queen,workers); unfertilized eggs produce male ants. The worm like larvae have no eyes and no legs; they eat food regurgitated by adult ants. The larvae molt(shed their skin) many times as they grow. After a certain size, they spin a silk-like cocoon and pupate. During this time the body metamorphoses into its adult form. The pupa emerges as an adult. The entire life cycle usually lasts from 6 to 10 weeks. Some queens can live over 15 years, and some workers can live for up to 7 years.
