Bees:The
most common stinging bee in California is the honey bee, introduced
into this country from Europe in the 17th century. Its stinger,
which resembles a hypodermic needle with barbs, is used to inject
a mixture of alkali venom and acid into the skin. The alkali venom
contains several kinds of proteins and enzymes which are believed
to cause allergic reactions of varying degrees in humans. We provide
bee control services such as bee extermination and bee hive removal.
Leaving the Honey comb will result in future and immediate problems.

Rats:The
fact about rats is that they are everywhere and not easy to control
unless you are a professional. Specifications for rats can vary.
The length of an average rat is from 6-18 inches that's including
their tail. Roof rats tend to be charcoal grey in color as compared
to your sewer rat which is a brownish tan. Their diet consists of
eating almost everything, its not much of a diet. They consume ½
to 2oz of liquid a day. These are nocturnal creatures they eat and
drink under the cover of darkness. They are loud and gnaw at anything
they can, rats have been known to cause electrical fires in homes
by exposed electrical wires in attics. Rats are the cause of much
damage and carriers of parasites and diseases.

Pigeons:
Pigeons mate for life and rear their broods together, although if
one dies the other will take a new mate. Once the simple nest is
built, the female lays an egg and then another a day or so later.
The incubation period for common pigeons is 17 to 19 days. The female
sits on the egg from late afternoon through the night until about
10AM. The male then takes over and does the day shift. Once the
eggs hatch, both parents feed the young squabs. The first food is
pigeon milk or crop milk, a cheesy substance that appears in the
crops of the parents at hatching time and is fed for a week or so.
Then the adults start regurgitating partially digested grains for
the young. By the time the squabs are ready to fly, about 4 weeks,
the father is doing most of the feeding. The squabs are fed for
another week to 10 days after they are free-flying.

Bats:
Bats, while some species can be larger, bats are usually not much
bigger than a house mouse. The wingspan of the two most common Canadian
species, the little brown bat and the big brown bat, ranges from
8 to 14 inches. Bats will mate in fall or winter and the pups are
usually weaned in July or August. A few bat species will migrate
to the south when cold weather approaches while other species will
just move to caves,mines and attics where the temperature does not
go below the freezing point. In some cases, the big brown bat will
even roost in buildings throughout the winter if conditions are
favourable, e.g. high humidity level and temperature above the freezing
point. Bats are loyal to their birthplaces, often returning to the
same roost site year after year. A bat can live more than 10 years.

Swallows:
Swallows feed on insects and spend a large part of each day in the
air catching flies, beetles, and mosquitoes. Their long, pointed
wings give them great speed and maneuverability. Normally, swallows
are not seen on the ground except when collecting mud for their
nests. Most do not have musical voices but only twitter or squeak.
The cliff swallow is 5 to 6 inches in length and is the only square-tailed
swallow in California. In contrast, its long, deeply forked tail
distinguishes the barn swallow. The cliff swallow is also recognized
by its pale, orange-brown rump, white forehead, dark rust-colored
throat, and steel blue crown and back.
