Carpenter ants can enter homes around door and window frames, eaves, vents, plumbing and utility lines, and shrub or tree branches that make contact with the house. Once inside the home they can cause devastating damage.
Spiders
Clover mites are part of the arachnid family (along with spiders and ticks). They feed on lawn grasses, clover, and a large variety of plants.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are nasty little critters that multiply quickly and create a large health hazard if not taken care of quickly AND properly.
Fleas
Adult fleas only account for about 5% of the flea population. The remaining population consists of 50% in the egg stage, 35% in the larval stage, and 10% in the pupae stage. Because all these stages are present at once, it makes it difficult to control the flea population. One flea can multiply into 1,000 in just 21 days.
Silverfish
Silverfish like to eat matter that has a high starch content. Some examples of what they will eat include...
Bees
Ticks
Ticks can transmit diseases such as Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis and Lyme Disease. Lyme Disease is the most common tick-bourne disease in the U.S.
Mosquitoes
Mosquito’s don’t see well. Their heightened sense of smell allows them to find us. They are attracted to body odor, body temperature, and the carbon dioxide that we exhale.
Flies
Beetles
Scorpions
Moths
Stink Bugs
As cold weather approaches leaf-footed bugs will seek a warm, protected place to spend winter. This is when many people will find them in their homes or other buildings. The bugs won’t harm anything in the house, but if held too long or crushed, they will emit a foul odor (for this reason they are sometimes referred to as “stink bugs”).
Mites
One reason spider mite have become such a problem is because many insecticides used today are killing off the natural predators of spider mites. It usually takes several treatments to eliminate an infestation and this does not prevent their return within the same season. Also, most miticides do not affect eggs, requiring a repeat application approximately 10-14 days later.
