Riverside, CA (PRWEB) October 22, 2014

One of the leading pest control companies servicing all of Southern California, Gopher Patrol suggests that the end of fall is the perfect time to protect and prevent homes from incoming rodents looking for a nesting spot. It is almost certainly easier for rodents to get into the home than sometimes thought. The winter can be a tough season to maintain when the rodents have such a strong motivation to sustain themselves in an already established home. A few of the most common and easiest forms of prevention are:

Making sure the yard is neat and tidy; meaning cleaning and trimming those trees, branches, and plants that may be hanging over the home.

As well as maintaining a safe distance of 12 inches at least away from the foundation of the home.

Moving inwards, making sure there are weather strips in place helping aid in protection from not only rodents but pests such as spiders and earwigs looking for a warmer spot to stay for the winter.

If by chance one makes it in, limiting the amount of available food sources for them such as: having all food in sealed containers, pet food put away when not feeding time, etc.

The most effective way is prevention. However, if a few of the pesky creatures have made it in and there are noticeable droppings, Gopher Patrol a licensed and qualified pest control company, is offering a rodent and pest control special for this fall and winter of 2014. Being in the pest control business for over 17 years, they have managed to master the art of approaching each individual situation with extreme care and caution. Experience has made them experts at aiding home owners as well as commercial properties and property management companies with all of their pest control needs, ranging from gophers, rats, and voles to spiders, ants, and roaches.

The Bottom Line Other Business Features Local Stories from ThisWeek More Articles By JD Malone The Columbus Dispatch Tuesday October 21, 2014 3:24 AM

Scotts Miracle-Gro made good on a promise to buy a regional pest-control company this year.

Scotts agreed to buy Action Pest Control Inc., based in Evansville, Ind., and will add the pest-control service which addresses in-home infestations of termites, ants and such to its lawn business. The acquisition will be complete in January, and it will add $15 million in annual revenue, Scotts said in a statement yesterday.

Action Pest Control, which does business in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, will become part of Scotts Lawn-Service.

In February, Barry Sanders, Scotts president and chief operating officer, told analysts that the company was looking to buy a regional pest-control service and hoped to do so by the end of 2014.

Killing bugs and other pests has become a priority for Scotts. The company bought mouse-killing brand TomCat last year. CEO James Hagedorn bemoaned the lagging financial performance of the companys Ortho brand last quarter and said he wanted to find ways to boost the brands return.

Scotts tested an Ortho pest-control service in Florida for more than a year, according to the press release. Scotts officials were mum on whether the company plans to rebrand Action Pest Control as Ortho, but Hagedorn hinted at it in his comments.

Just as the Scotts brand has resonated with our lawn service business, the Ortho brand shows great long-term promise for home pest control, Hagedorn said in the press release. The demographics and economics of the service industry are strong strategic fits for our business. We are excited to complete the acquisition of Action Pest and see it as an important step forward in executing our long-term growth strategy.

Such a rebranding would make sense as Scotts also rebranded the lawn service, Emerald Green, which it bought in 1997.

The U.S. pest-control industry is dominated by Rollins, which operates under the Orkin brand, and ServiceMaster, which has the Terminix brand. The industry had revenue of $11.1 billion, according to IBISWorld, an industry market-research firm.
