5 Perfectly Loving Ways to Celebrate National Cat Lovers Month

Thrasher’s Pet-Friendly Pest Control Team is All In

What does a pet-friendly pest control company think about National Cat Lovers Month? Bring on the love. Despite cats’ reputation for rodent control, we are not in competition. Cats are natural predators, but not all cats are good mousers. And some cats have been known to flee from large rats (we’re not shaming). So, let’s get to celebrating our furry friends!

  1. Santa Photos. Are there ever enough photos of you and your cat friends? We think not. But do you have one with Santa? Some pet stores, rescue shelters, and malls offer pictures with Santa for your kitty. At best, you’ll end up with an Instagramable moment. At least you’ll end up with a good story to tell.
  2. Kitty Cookies. Use small holiday cookie cutters to make some very special treats. Instructions below.
  3. Pamper. When it’s cold outside, pamper your cat by warming a blanket in the dryer and then placing it in your cat’s favorite patch of sun. A pet-safe heating pad is another option. Heating pads are especially cozy for older cats.
  4. Snuffle Enrichment. Snuffle balls or snuffle mats provide a very different enrichment experience for your cat. You can purchase or make snuffle toys with fleece. To use, hide kibble in the folds of the snuffle toy for your cat to find.
  5. Relaxation. Hire pet-friendly pest control professionals for rodent control and give your cat a break. Not only will professional rodent control protect you, your pet, and your property, someone else gets to dispose of those little “presents” that the kitty might leave at your feet (or worse, bring in alive to play with!).

How to Make Kitty Cookie Treats:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Spread pate-style cat food 1/2 inch thick onto the parchment paper.
  4. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove and use small cookie cutters to cut out the cookies. Be gentle! Yes, you will be left with a lot of edible crumbles.
  6. Flip cookies over and bake for another 15 minutes.
  7. Let kitty cookie treats cool completely before serving.

What pests are covered in your pest control services?

Thrasher Pest Control provides solutions for a wide range of common pests affecting San Diego’s homes and businesses. Services commonly address ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, termites, fleas, and other structural or seasonal pests common to Southern California properties. During an inspection, technicians identify the pest activity affecting the property and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach based on the infestation and conditions present.

Response times depend on scheduling availability and the type of service requested. In many cases, technicians are able to schedule service within a short timeframe after a request is received. During the initial contact, the team reviews the pest concern and schedules the earliest available appointment for inspection and treatment.

Preparation requirements vary depending on the type of pest and treatment being performed. For most general pest services, minimal preparation is needed beyond allowing technicians access to key areas of the home and exterior. For specialty services such as bed bug treatments or termite work, the team may provide specific preparation instructions before the scheduled appointment.

Most pest control services begin with a detailed inspection of the property to identify pest activity, entry points, and conditions that may attract pests. After the inspection, technicians apply targeted treatments to affected areas using methods appropriate for the pest involved. Preventive measures such as sealing entry points, removing attractants, and monitoring pest activity are then recommended to help reduce future infestations.

Thrasher Pest Control offers a limited warranty period after the initial treatment. If the target pest is found again in the previously treated area during the warranty period, technicians may return to re-treat the area according to the service agreement. Warranty eligibility depends on the service provided and the property conditions being maintained as recommended by the technician.
