Common Household Pests
Ants
Ants are one of the most common household pests. Once they find food or moisture, colonies can quickly expand. Our professional treatment targets both visible ants and hidden nesting areas to help stop infestations at the source.
If you have an ant problem, you may notice trails of ants near the kitchen or bathroom, small piles of dirt or debris near walls, ant activity around windows and doors, and increased activity during warmer months.
Spiders
Most spiders are harmless, but frequent sightings or large populations inside the home can be unsettling or annoying. Spiders often settle in garages, crawl spaces, basements, attics, and storage areas where insects are present.
Our team focuses on removing webs and egg sacs, treating entry points, reducing insect populations, and monitoring high-activity areas.
Rodents
Rodents can damage insulation, wiring, and stored belongings, as well as spread bacteria and contaminate food sources. Mice and rats often enter homes through small openings around foundations, utility lines, garages, and roofs.
If you have rodent activity in your home, you may hear scratching sounds in the walls or ceiling, see droppings near food or storage areas, find gnaw marks on materials, or uncover nesting materials in hidden areas.
Our professional rodent control services may include trapping, monitoring, exclusion recommendations, and sanitation guidance.
Cockroach Control
Cockroaches are resilient pests that thrive in dark, humid environments. They can spread bacteria and trigger allergies or asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals. Cockroaches are commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and utility areas.
We apply targeted treatments to help reduce infestations and prevent recurrence
Stinging Insect Control
Wasps, hornets, and bees can become aggressive when nesting near home, patios, decks, and play areas. With our professional service, we can reduce the risk of stings and address active nests, so you can spend time in your yard without risk.
Common nesting locations include roof eaves, garages, deck railings, trees, shrubs, sheds, and fences.
