Professional Occasional Invader Extermination In Santa Monica!

Are you familiar with the insect classification “occasional invader”? Most Santa Monica residents are familiar with pest infestations, but nothing more or nothing less. Occasional invaders are exactly as their name entails, they are insect species that invade residential and commercial buildings on occasion. Unfortunately, there is no possible way to determine when or where an occasional invader will attack. The only way to keep your home and family safe is to be prepared at all times.

Occasional invaders are possible through small openings around door and window frames, crawlspace vents, air conditioner ducts, and thresholds.

Insect species that fit the occasional invader classification include the following:

Why Is My Home Being Overtaken By Occasional Invaders?

Occasional invaders infiltrate homes accidentally and intentionally. For example, the ladybug, beetle, stinkbug, and box elder bugboxelder bug” invades homes to avoid spending the winter outdoors. These overwintering pests spend the entire winter season in a dormant state that allows them to survive on nutrients from their stored fat.

The centipede, pillbug, cricket, and spider unintentionally invade homes. These insect species find themselves inside buildings without a purpose.

Do Occasional Invaders Transmit Parasites And/Or Diseases?

No, but some occasional invaders have been linked to foodborne illnesses. These include the cluster fly, beetle, and ladybug. These insects feed on contaminated food that later ends up in a family’s food supply, resulting in foodborne illness.

Some occasional invader insects also pose danger to potted plants.

Then there is the spider, which consists of both venomous and non-venomous. Venomous spiders pose a health risk to humans and pets. Venomous spider bites cause a series of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. The symptoms include redness, edema (swelling), shortness of breath, profuse sweating, discomfort, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, hypertension (high blood pressure), and swollen lymph nodes.
