When the pest control tech becomes the pest control problem 😂🕷️

Q was supposed to be DE-webbing the spider webs…

Instead, I think she’s decorating for Halloween. 😂🕷️

Look at all that spider activity!
Q…you’re not getting paid for this. 😂

Real pest control. Real life. Real spider drama. 🕷️

RESTAURANT MANAGERS 👀 CHECK UNDER YOUR FRYERS This could be feeding your roach problem.

Restaurant managers, be honest…when was the last time you looked underneath your fryers and cooking equipment? 👀

If your kitchen floor looks like this, you may be giving roaches exactly what they need to stick around:

🪳 Food debris
🪳 Grease & buildup
🪳 Moisture
🪳 Hidden harborage

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Pest control can’t compensate for poor sanitation.

You can treat for roaches repeatedly, but if they’re walking into a kitchen with an endless food source, you’re making the job much harder, and potentially wasting money.

Before asking, “Why do we still have roaches?”

Pull equipment out.

👉🏾 Deep clean underneath and behind it.
👉🏾 Remove grease and food buildup.
👉🏾 Repair leaks and eliminate moisture.
👉🏾 Then let your pest professional tackle the remaining pest pressure.

Restaurant managers: go look under your fryers. 👀

You might be surprised by what you find.

📍 Oakland • East Bay • Bay Area

Save this for your next kitchen inspection and send it to a restaurant manager who needs to see it.

Wasp Inspections Hit Different in the Oakland Hills

Cold mornings in the Oakland hills mean the wasps are basically on airplane mode.
Activity drops, flight paths disappear, and nests go quiet — which makes inspections a whole different game.

I’ll be back this afternoon once they warm up and start moving again.
Timing matters with wasps… and so does not becoming a coyote snack 😌🐝🌾

If you’re seeing wasp activity at your home, book your inspection with SPS today.

Lifecycle in Motion: Why One Treatment Isn’t Enough

This monitor is from a follow‑up visit a couple weeks after the initial service — and it tells the whole story. Adults, nymphs, an ootheca, and even a deformed adult showing the IGR is doing its job.

Roach work is science, not magic. Breaking a hive‑level infestation takes consistency, monitoring, and monthly service until the lifecycle collapses.

If you’re seeing activity like this at home, it’s time for a professional plan — not a one‑time fix.

A quiet moment at the top of Mission Peak with Q. After a week of educating folks on exclusion and rodent prevention, this is the part that keeps me grounded. Nature → presence → better service for my clients. Snack time at the summit is mandatory.

Rodents don’t just sneak in — they communicate through scent trails. And for years, I thought there was nothing you could spray to zap that… until we found our rodent odor neutralizer.

This application is our secret weapon. It helps us break scent cycles, boost trap success, and finally get homeowners long‑term relief.

If you’re smelling rodent activity or seeing signs, tap the link in the bio and we’ll inspect your home and apply our neutralizer where it actually works.

👉🏾 DM us “RODENT” for priority scheduling
