Insects and Spiders

Ants
Fire Ants are major nuisance pest in Texas. Fire Ants are usually found outside in a sunny area in yards and soil, fire ant infestations can get out of hand very quick and your yard can have several dozen ant mounds making it uninhabitable to use for your family and pets. Red imported fire ants are very aggressive and will sing multiple times and can cause serious medical problems. Red imported fire ants can sometimes make mounds next to buildings on the outside walls and in exposed soil inside buildings like bath traps. Fire Ant mounds are round and can be several feet across in size making your yard very unpleasant to look at. Affordable Termite & Pest Control, LLC offers two types of Fire Ant Yard Control. Direct mound treatments with a liquid Insecticide or with an ant bait granulation.
Spiders
Children and pets need to stay away from treatment on the inside, we recommend pets be placed inside a kennel or be taken away from the home and children be placed on a couch or leave the home as well. The same principle recommend on the outside is recommend on the inside for drying. After we treat throughout the interior of the home, we will treat the garage and place monitoring glue boards down to catch insects like spiders when they try to filter into the garage. This is a tool for the home owner and technician so that they can see what has been going on the environment in between visits. After the treatment is completed, Affordable's technicians will complete the invoice with you and then discuss payment terms.
Termites
Termites cause Texans hundreds of millions of dollars on an annually basis. Your home or business is a huge investment, and protecting it should be a top priority. Affordable Termite & Pest Control, LLC is certified and licensed with the Texas Department of Agriculture in category of termite control. Termites are silent and cause damage without the property owner knowing. Affordable Termite & Pest Control LLC is trained to know how to look for signs and evidence of Termite activity, and recommend your home or business be inspected annually. The technician will point out conducive conditions around your property that need to be removed or changed to make it less attractive to Termites. But don’t worry if Termites are found on your property, we have a solution to control them.
Bed Bugs
Everyone has heard the old saying “goodnight don't let the Bed bugs bite”. But if you have Bed bugs then it's out of your control. Bed bugs are parasites that feed on blood. They hitchhike from place to place by their hosts in material items like furniture, clothing, and electronics. The most common place Bed bugs are found are in hotels / motels, apartments, and homes. Bed bugs have been found in other places like schools, hospitals, public transportation and even retail stores. This means that if you have been to or visited one of these places than you could have been exposed to Bed bugs. When Bed bugs are introduced into your home it doesn't take long for an infestation to occur.
Fleas
Fleas are small (1/16 to 1/8 inches long), agile and usually dark in color. Fleas are wingless insects whose mouth parts are adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood. Their legs are long and the hind pair is well adapted for jumping. A Flea’s body is hard, polished and covered with many hairs and short spines directed backward. The flea’s tough body is able to withstand great pressure, even hard squeezing between the fingers is normally insufficient to kill a Flea. Adult Fleas must feed on blood before they can become capable of reproduction. Eggs are laid in batches of up to 20 and take around two days to two weeks to hatch.
Cockroaches
Is there anything worse than going out in the kitchen at night to get a midnight snack to see that Cockroaches have already been snacking on your food. Or when you open up the cabinet to get a clean plate, to find out it's not really clean because German Cockroaches have been spreading bacteria around. But don't sweat it, Affordable Termite & Pest Control, LLC has the solution.
Silverfish
Silverfish are wingless, having a fish-like appearance with a flat body, which is tapered at both ends and covered by overlapping scales. They prefer damp, moderate temperature places such as basements, kitchens, sinks, bathtubs, behind baseboards or wallpaper, window or door frames, and wall voids. This insect is about 1/2 inch long, named for the tiny silver scales on its body.
Bees
Rather you’re buying a home or having your home refinanced, chances are you are required to have a termite control company like Affordable Termite & Pest Control, LLC to come out to your property and inspect it. This is a very important and major part of the home buying process. This service is called a WDIR (wood destroying insect report) and it is not only checking for Termites, but also other wood destroying insects like Carpenter Ants, Carpenter Bees and Wood Boring Beetles. A WDIR service is a visual inspection only! Affordable Termite & Pest Control, LLC will go out to the property and look for not only live wood destroying insect activity but signs and evidence of them as well. Once the inspection is done, Affordable Termite & Pest Control, LLC will complete the WDIR by filling out the required state documents for the service to be complete. These documents will have all the required information on them for the real estate agents and title company.
Wasps
Mud daubers are not social wasps. They build a variety of mud nests, including organ-pipe nests and globular nests. These wasps paralyze spiders to provision mud cells built to enclose eggs, larvae and pupae. The mud cells form long clay tubes or large lumps. Mud daubers are slender and shiny black or brown, orange or yellow, with black.
Ticks
Ticks are arachnids. Adults have eight legs, whereas young ticks have six legs. Ticks are blood-feeding parasites that are often found in tall grass and shrubs where they will wait to attach to a passing host. Physical contact is the only method of transportation for ticks. They do not jump or fly, although they may drop from their perch and fall onto a host. Ticks are more active outdoors in warm weather, but can attack a host at any time. Ticks are especially abundant near water, where warm-blooded animals come to drink.
Crickets
House crickets live outdoors, but will come inside in great numbers. Adults are 3/4-1 inch long and light yellowish-brown with three dark bands on the head. They will eat almost anything and will chew on damaged silk and woolens. House crickets are nocturnal, staying hidden during the day. They have a distinctive chirping sound. House crickets can be found in warm places like kitchens, basements, in cracks and crevices and behind baseboards.
Earwigs
Earwigs are easily recognizable by their pincers (forceps harmless to humans) at the ends of their abdomen. They are dark reddish-brown, with light brown legs, and are about 5/8 inch long. In a season, females reproduce up to 20-60 eggs laid in burrows (called chambers), about two to three inches beneath the soil. Most species have one generation a year, over-wintering in the soil. Both adults and the young require moisture to live.
Mosquitoes
Besides the threat of diseases introduced to humans by mosquitoes, the tick and its array of problems is a close second. Ticks generally are not born with disease agents but rather acquire them during various feedings. Lyme disease is the most commonly known disease spread by ticks. Early symptoms of Lyme disease may include fever, headache, fatigue, depression and a characteristic circular skin rash. In most cases, the infection and its symptoms are eliminated by antibiotics, especially if the illness is treated early. Left untreated, later symptoms may involve the joints, heart and central nervous system.
Flies
Centipedes
Centipedes usually live outdoors in damp areas such as under leaves, stones, boards, tree bark, or in mulch around outdoor plantings. If they are around the foundation of the house, they may wander inside. Larger centipedes can bite that may cause light swelling. Most centipedes are active at night. In the summer, they will lay 35 eggs or more in or on the soil. Newly hatched centipedes have four pairs of legs. During subsequent molts, the centipede progressively increases the number of legs until becoming an adult. Adults of many species live a year and some as long as five to six years.
Millipedes
A millipede’s diet consists of damp and decaying wood and plant materials. Millipedes are found outdoors where there is moisture and decaying organic matter, such as trash, grass clippings, mulch, rotting firewood, leaf litter, etc. They may invade the house during extremely wet seasons or extreme drought. Millipedes usually die within a few days of entering a structure unless there is a source of high moisture and a food supply. Millipedes are most active at night. Millipedes are oval, 1-1/2 inches long, segmented with many legs, coiling up when resting or dead. Every millipede has two pairs of legs attached to each apparent body segment. Most millipedes are brown or black, but some species are orange or red.
Beetles
Type of fabric. Carpet beetles and clothes moths can digest keratin, a component of animal hair, which includes wool, fur and feathers. Fabric made of wool blends or silk may also be damaged.
Scorpions
Attic and pier and beam crawl spaces are perfect places for insects to thrive and live in, like American Cockroaches, Scorpions, Spiders, Silverfish, and many more. These crawl spaces are dark and humid making them the perfect environment for these insects. Affordable Termite & Pest Control LLC offers a dusting program, using a power duster with insecticide dust to treat in these crawl spaces. This is the best method to control these insects in the crawl spaces, leaving a long lasting contact residual to protect your family, pets and home.
Hornets
Hornets construct large grayish-brown carton like nests, many times hanging from a tree or bush. Treating for hornets as well as all other wasps should be done at night. Simply removing the wasp nest will not resolve the problem, because surviving wasps will reconstruct a new one. The best strategy is to treat the wasp nest at night when all the workers and queen are present.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets usually nest in the ground, but will also nest in railroad ties, wall voids, and other above ground locations. In the spring, most yellow jackets will feed on insects. In the fall, wasp colonies are at their largest size, and foraging workers may be a serious nuisance. as they search for food. For most people a sting is painful but temporary. However, an allergic individual may have a serious reaction requiring medical treatment.
Moths
The most prevalent fabric destroying insects in the United States include two clothes moths: webbing clothes moths and the case making clothes moths.
Pantry Pests
Indian meal moths are probably the most common pantry pest found in kitchens and pantries. Adults can have a wingspan of about 3/4 inch when at rest. The wings are folded together and held tightly together by the body. The wing is a blend of two colors, the front half being pale, grey or tan and the bottom half of the wings being a rust or bronze color.
Mites
There are more than 30,000 kinds of spiders. Some are smaller than the head of a pin but some are larger than a person’s hand. Spiders are not insects, they are classified as arachnids. Spiders have eight legs but ants, bees, beetles and other insects have only six legs. Arachnids include daddy long legs, scorpions, mites and ticks. Spiders are most commonly brown, grey or black. A spider has no bones but its tough skin serves as a protective outer skeleton.
Springtails
Springtails are very small (rarely more than 1/5 inch long), pale brown to cream colored insects that seem to hop and disappear when disturbed. The springtail is named for a spring-like mechanism on the underside of its abdomen. When at rest, the organ is folded forward and held in place under tension by a clasping structure. When the mechanism is released, the insect is able to jump a distance many times its own length.
Gnats
Bedbugs, Fleas, Bees, Termites, Rodents, Fire Ants, Carpenter Ants, German Cockroaches, Ticks, Flies, Gnats, Birds, Bats, Crazy Ants, Pharaoh Ants, Rover Ants, Scorpions And Wild Life Animals.
Pill Bugs
Earwigs are primarily nocturnal, feeding at night. They are scavengers, eating primarily dead insects and decomposing plant materials. Some earwig species are attracted to lights. During the day, earwigs will seek shelter under organic matter such as mulch, pine straw, leaf litter, and other debris. They prefer dark and damp areas like under sidewalks and stones. Earwigs can eat plants and do damage to field crops. They are found in homes and can get in through entry points like doors and windows, and by going up the foundation. Their populations build up around foundations. Earwigs produce large populations rather quickly and are often a major problem in new subdivisions. Earwigs live in habitats also harboring centipedes, sow bugs (pill bugs), and millipedes. Removing earwig habitats is very important to control all insects.
Sow Bugs
Boxelder Bugs
Box elder bugs are common over much of the United States. Adults are about 1/2 inch long. They are bright red or black with narrow reddish lines on the back.

Mice
Mice will eat almost anything (including soap & glue), but prefer cereal grains, seeds, or sweet material. They require very little water, obtaining most of their water needs from their food. If there are good living conditions (food, water, and shelter), they can multiply rapidly. They sexually mature in two months, producing about eight litters in a one year life time. Each litter has four to seven pups. House mice in a city environment may spend their entire life in buildings. In rural and suburban settings, mice may not only live inside, but be found outside near foundations, in shrubbery, weeds, crawl spaces, basements, or in garages. They survive well on weeds, seeds, or insects, but when their food supply is shortened by the colder months they move inside nesting closer to a food supply. They make their nest from soft material like paper, insulation, or furniture stuffing. These nests can be found in many places including walls, ceiling voids, storage boxes, drawers, under major appliances, or within the upholstery of furniture. Outside nests are found in debris or in ground burrows.
Rats
Rats: Adult rats can weigh anywhere from 516 ounces and measure 610 inches long. They have large ears and a pointed nose. A rat’s fur can be either smooth or shaggy depending on the type of rat. Their droppings are 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length, capsule shaped, with blunt ends. Rats will leave a hind foot track of about 3/41 inch where a mouse’s track measure’s 3/8 of an inch or less. They will also drag their tails, leaving a mark between their feet tracks. Tracking powder can be dusted to help determine their runways as they cross suspected areas.
Squirrels
Fleas can be your worst nightmare when they infest your home or yard. They can make your family and pets life miserable. Fleas are insects that are parasites, they feed on their hosts by sucking blood. Fleas can be found on animals like Dogs and Cats. But they are also found on other mammals like Raccoons, Opossums, Skunks, Squirrels, Rabbits, Mice and Rats. So just because you don't have any pets, doesn't mean you won't have to worry about fleas. If any of these animals make their way in your yard or home then you are at risk. This also means that if a neighboring property has animals with Fleas, that you could inherit their problem.
