Fowler Pest Control & Termites: honest, reliable

Thursday, September 4th, 2014 Issue 36, Volume 18.

Fowler Pest Control and Termites has a longstanding reputation for honest and reliable service. Owner Glen Fowler has been in the industry for 30 years, and has operated his family business for over 20 years. With the help of his wife Karen, son Michael, brother-in-law Chuck, and daughters Molly and Maggi, Fowlers successful pest control has become a resource used by many families.

As a result of the growth of Fowlers company, they now have 17 service vehicles and cover San Diego, Riverside, Orange, and San Bernardino counties, although half of their business is still in Fallbrook, where Fowler was raised.

Some of the pests that Fowler Pest Control & Termites treat are: fleas, ticks, earwigs, roaches, wasps, bees, ants, mice, silverfish, sow bugs, spiders, rats, crickets, termites (subterranean and dry-rot), and pigeons.

Fowler uses bait technology, which approaches the insect problem with plant-derived alternatives, as opposed to the harsh chemicals the industry originally used, which are now banned. Bait technology has actually proven to be a more effective method since the insect must pass through the bait; it then brings it back to its colony, whereas the previous method using dangerous chemicals did not extinguish the insects at their source.

"Weather patterns have a lot to do with change in activity," explained Glen Fowler. "When things get stirred up, especially when the weather is abnormal for that time of year, we tend to see an increase in cases. Africanized bees are increasing in population, and are much more Advertisement [ Christ the King Lutheran Church ] aggressive than domestic bees."

Fowler mentioned that the worst thing one can do if being chased by a swarm of bees is to jump into a pool, for they will just keep summoning more bees from the hive. Instead, it is best to get into a safe, sheltered area.

For the last five years, Fowler has also been aiding clients with gopher and squirrel problems, which have increased dramatically.

When it comes to needed bird control, Fowler tends to use exclusionary techniques such as spikes to deter the animals, rather than trapping.

All of the technicians at Fowler Pest Control & Termites constantly update their education through quarterly and annual training classes and are professionally certified by the Pest Control Board of California. One of the reason employees are loyal to Fowler is the time and education that is invested in each technician.
