About the Insects We Treat For
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are known for their ability to damage wood structures by hollowing out galleries for nesting. These large ants vary in size and color, typically black, red, or a combination of both. To prevent structural damage, it's crucial to address carpenter ant infestations promptly with professional pest control services.
Pavement Ants
Pavement ants are small brown or black ants commonly found nesting under sidewalks, driveways, and building foundations. While they are not aggressive, pavement ants can be a nuisance when they forage for food indoors. Effective pest control measures can help eliminate these ants and prevent future invasions.
Pharoah Ants
Pharaoh ants are tiny yellow ants that are notorious for their resilient colonies and rapid reproduction rates. These ants can pose a significant challenge for homeowners and businesses due to their ability to establish multiple nests indoors. Professional pest control is essential to eradicate pharaoh ant infestations thoroughly.
German Roaches
German cockroaches are common household pests known for their rapid reproduction and resilience. These light brown roaches are often found in kitchens and bathrooms, seeking food, moisture, and warmth. German roach infestations can quickly escalate, requiring professional pest control intervention to eliminate these disease-carrying insects.
American Roaches
American cockroaches, also known as palmetto bugs, are reddish-brown roaches that prefer warm and damp environments. These large roaches can enter buildings through drains and sewers, posing health risks due to their potential to spread pathogens. Effective pest control strategies are essential to address American roach infestations comprehensively.
Oriental Roaches
Oriental cockroaches, commonly referred to as water bugs, are dark brown to black roaches that thrive in damp and cool areas. These roaches are often found in basements, crawl spaces, and dark, moist environments. Controlling oriental roach populations requires professional pest management to address underlying moisture issues and eliminate breeding sites effectively.
Spiders:
Black Widow
Black Widows are known for their distinctive appearance, characterized by a shiny black body with a red hourglass marking on the underside. These venomous spiders are commonly found in dark, secluded areas such as woodpiles, garages, and basements. A Black Widow bite can be harmful to humans, causing symptoms like muscle cramps, nausea, and sweating, making prompt medical attention crucial in case of a bite.
Wolf Spider
Wolf Spiders are robust and agile hunters known for their excellent eyesight and speed. These spiders typically have a brown, gray, or black hairy body with various patterns. Wolf Spiders do not build webs to catch prey but actively hunt for insects on the ground. While their bite is venomous, it is not considered dangerous to humans unless an individual has an allergic reaction.
Yellow Sac Spider
Yellow Sac Spiders are pale yellow to beige spiders with a slender body and are known for their sac-like silk retreats. These spiders are commonly found indoors, preferring warm, dry environments. While their bite can cause mild symptoms like redness and swelling, Yellow Sac Spiders are not considered aggressive unless provoked, making them more of a nuisance pest than a serious threat.
Brown Recluse
The Brown Recluse Spider is a venomous spider that is recognizable by its violin-shaped marking. Brown recluse spiders are nocturnal hunters, feeding on insects and other prey. Their venom contains cytotoxins that can lead to necrosis and tissue damage, causing a condition known as loxoscelism in severe cases. If you suspect the presence of brown recluse spiders in your home or surroundings, contact us right away for removal.
Beetles:
Japanese Beetle
Japanese Beetles are invasive pests known for their voracious appetite and ability to cause significant damage to a wide range of plants.

Asian Lady Beetle
Asian Lady Beetles can become nuisance pests when they invade homes in large numbers seeking shelter. These beetles are typically orange or red with black spots and can emit a foul odor when threatened. Our techs can implement exclusion techniques and sealing entry points to help prevent them from entering your home and becoming a nuisance.
Ticks
Ticks are small parasitic arachnids that feed on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. These tiny creatures are known for transmitting diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever through their bites, making them a concern for both humans and pets. It's essential to take preventive measures like using insect repellents, wearing protective clothing, and performing regular tick checks after being outdoors in wooded or grassy areas to minimize the risk of tick bites.
Silverfish
Silverfish are small, wingless insects with a distinct silvery appearance and fish-like movements, hence their name. These nocturnal pests are commonly found in damp, dark areas like basements, kitchens, and bathrooms, where they feed on starchy materials such as paper, glue, and clothing. While silverfish are not harmful to humans or pets, they can cause damage to books, wallpaper, and other items.
Bedbugs
Bedbugs are reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals, typically at night while they sleep. These elusive pests can hide in cracks and crevices in furniture, walls, and bedding, making them challenging to detect and eliminate. They are nature’s most effective hitchhiker, often hopping on luggage and making a new home with you.
Bedbug bites often result in itchy red welts and can cause emotional distress due to the stigma associated with infestations. Please contact our professionals to address your bedbug problem right away.
