It seems that every time we write a blog we talk about what time of year it is and what critter or pest is planning on infiltrating your home. We have talked about bedbugs, rats, spiders, stinkbugs and even cockroaches. The bottom line is, in Sacramento, the creepy crawlies are present all year round and they are probably looking for a way into you home as we speak. Like little burglars, there may…Read More
Well spring has officially started and you know what that means! It means that the days will be getting longer, the heat will begin ramping up and the little critters will be having babies (No not your sister-in-law, the creepy crawly critters.). A little-known fact about Placer County is that we have a lot of bugs, shocking, right? The number of a good exterminator is extremely important to keep …Read More
Well it is that time of year again. The cosmic anomaly that causes the time to shift and humans all over the country are denied an hour of sleep. (Except for Arizona of course who is a conduit to another dimension and is immune.) Seriously, the time change can be worse than jet lag and it can leave you feeling like a zombie for days. What is good about the “spring forward” phenomenon? Nothing.…Read More
Well the election is finally over, the clocks have turned back on us and it is time to figure out your pre-winter, pest control strategy.

The days are going to be shorter now. Don't worry, it happens every year. We are a week or two away from the beginning of the end of daylight savings time. It is still unclear as to whether or not that means one gets to sleep in or needs to get up earlier. Regardless, someone always forgets about it and shows up either an hour late or an hour early. At Noble Way Pest Control, we lean towards the e…Read More
You are eating a bowl of gazpacho in the shade of your back patio and you start to get the feeling that you are being watched.

The one thing that will sink your business faster than anything else, is a rodent infestation. Customers tend to view a place of business with visible evidence of rodent activity as and extremely dirty environment. This is not always true. Don’t Blame Your…Read More
It is a big day today, not just for the solar cycle and the earth but in the life of mice everywhere. Today represents a huge day in the life of a mouse. It is the first day of summer in Sacramento and the sun does something to indicate this. What that is, I don't really know. In the general social culture of a mouse, the summer solstice is the day when the younger members of the nest become adult…Read More
Do you ever wish that when mice came into your house, it was easy to find them? You would find them sitting in their little archway-shaped hole in the trim; eating a piece of swiss cheese and watching TV. The cat would occasionally chase them and hilarity would ensue.
