Bed Bugs
Bed bugs can live (and thrive) anywhere humans live. From the fanciest hotels, to small apartments, to your home.
Fleas
The bane of every pet owner is fleas and tick. When prevalent on your property, they can make life miserable for animals and be almost impossible to eliminate without professional assistance. What makes these bugs harder to deal with than most other pests is the fact that they can live and travel in wide-open areas. Unlike most insects, they do not reside exclusively in the nooks and crannies of a house. Anywhere inside or outside the home is fair game. In addition to this, they have been known to be carriers of diseases such as lyme disease, rocky mountain spotted fever, and babesiosis; the last of which can be potentially fatal. Preventative measures taken in the spring and mid-summer can make a big difference in controlling both fleas and ticks.
Cockroaches
When waking up in the morning, the last thing you want to see as you make a cup of coffee is a two inch long flying cockroach. This unfortunately, is a common occurrence across the U.S. These cockroaches, the oriental, and more specifically the sewer cockroach, breed outdoors for the most part, but find their way indoors when looking for cooler locations during the summer, or warmer places in the winter. They come up through outdoor and even indoor plumbing, and breed in water meter boxes, parks, and golf courses. Resilient insects that they are, they make appearances in all seasons, and are not as susceptible to weather conditions as most other outdoor breeding pests. During times of drought or excessive rain, they simply relocate, usually into your home.
Silverfish
What insects does the general pest service cover? Spiders, crickets, ants, roaches, silverfish are generally covered under routine general pest control service. Fleas, ticks, scorpions and flying insects require different and often difficult treatment strategies and thus are charged accordingly.
Bees
An essential insect, they pollinate our flowers and fruit. Without them our way of life would be very different. But what makes these insects so successful is also what makes them so dangerous. Honey bee colonies work like a well oiled machine. With a clear division of labor and an unwavering dedication to their hive, these are insects to be respected. While out foraging for pollen, they are relatively harmless. If a nest is nearby, however, watch out. Provoked honey bees will attack the face around the eyes, nose, and mouth; attracted to the carbon dioxide that is exhaled. If you happen to be close to an Africanized honey bee hive, the risk of this happening is greatly increased. The presence of a hive should be dealt with sooner than later, as bee hives have a tendency to grow very quickly. If it is located within the home, irreparable damage can be done to the walls and/or ceiling from the honey; possibly necessitating replacement and cleaning of large portions of drywall and interior voids. Bee Removal is your only option some times.
Wasps
Ticks
On the part of the homeowner, lawn maintenance combined with monthly flea and tick treatments for pets can be very effective. If, however, there is proof of activity, professional help will be needed. Sexton Pest Control provides services specifically designed to deal with these pests, using the top rated products in the industry. When it comes to flea and ticks, it’s best to be proactive. Call Sexton before things get out of hand.
Crickets
A constant source of annoyance for just about every homeowner in the Southwest, the house cricket is a prolific and loud companion. It prefers temperatures above 80 degrees and below 95, and can go from egg to adult in a little over 2 months. Because they feed on almost any type of organic matter, crickets will find food within the cleanest of homes. Everything from sawdust, to trash, to paper are fair game when it comes to crickets, and every homeowner obliges. Because of this, management of this pest can be difficult and ongoing. Even if they are eliminated completely from the home, chances are they will come from neighboring fields or properties within a matter of months, and begin breeding again.
Earwigs
Mosquitoes
Centipedes
Millipedes
Beetles
Termites are often mistaken for carpenter ants or bark beetles. If you are unsure which type of wood boring insect you’re dealing with, it’s best to have a professional come and inspect the situation.
Scorpions
There is no overnight solution to controlling this pest. Due to its resilient nature, extreme temperatures seem to have no effect on it, and store bought pesticides do not even slow it down. On the part of the homeowner, the only effective method of dealing with scorpions is going out at night and searching for them with a black light, then smashing them; not the most practical or pleasant of solutions. If you plan on doing this on your own, take care you don’t injure yourself. Professional pest control is a necessary step in limiting its food source, as well as applying measures to prevent the entering of scorpions into the home. Only through the consistent use of pest management can the bark scorpion, or any scorpion for that matter, be subdued.
But the reality is that bed bugs that are infesting homes today are the great-great-great-great grandchildren of cave dwelling bugs that originally fed on the blood of bats.
Let’s be real. Discovering pests or rodents is never fun. But controlling pests doesn’t need to be hard. Do you know how to

Rats
Originally from East Asia, the roof rat has spread to every corner of the world. It has the quickest breeding cycle of all the rats, is an adept climber, and will eat just about anything. The heat of summer does not slow them down, and can actually speed up their breeding cycle. They are around 15 inches long and sleek in appearance, with a tail that is longer than their body. In the valley, they are found just about everywhere. Communities with large amounts of citrus trees, and vegetation in general, are the most prone to having an infestation. As their name implies, they are likely to be found in the attic. Gnawed electrical wires, droppings, and loud rustling sounds are good indications that you have one or two in the house. Because they multiply so quickly, it is important to deal with them right away. Make sure they don’t get near your Air Conditioning unit. Within a matter of months two roof rats can become ten, and things only get worse from there. Over time, this rat’s presence in the home will lead to unsanitary and unsafe conditions in the attic, in addition to causing electrical shorts caused by wiring chewed all the way through.
