ATCO Pest Control recently hosted its First Annual Agape Charity Golf Tournament at the StoneTree Golf Club in Novato, benefiting the North Bay Regional Center (NBRC) and Golden Gate Regional Center (GGRC). These organizations support over 22,000 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across six counties. The event was a tremendous success, thanks to the participation of community members and partners such as Eclipse Business Insurance, Bay Club, 95.7 The Game, Rush Injury Law, and Harbor Truck & Van. A highlight of the event was a touching story shared by a board member who received crucial support from NBRC during a difficult time, showcasing the profound impact of the organizations. The day featured perfect weather, camaraderie, and generosity, culminating in a memorable awards ceremony. The event underscored the importance of community support and the vital work of NBRC and GGRC. Looking ahead, ATCO Pest Control aims to expand the tournament and continue raising funds for these essential services.Read more

While these insects serve vital roles in nature as predators, they can pose problems when they encroach upon human spaces. ATCO Pest Control offers effective, chemical-free wasp trapping services to manage populations around homes and public areas. By baiting traps with sweet substances in spring and protein-based attractants in summer, they capture and control wasps without harm. Additionally, they advise homeowners on steps to prevent wasp activity, such as identifying nests, avoiding disturbance, eliminating food sources, and discouraging nesting. With a commitment to protecting homes and families, ATCO Pest Control aims to ensure peace of mind for their customers by keeping homes free from the intrusion of wasps and other pests.Read more
