Insects and Spiders

• Ants
  In Williamsburg, we have a stinky ant called the odorous house ant. It doesn't bite or sting, and it is considered a low public health risk, but when these ants get into your home, they can be an incredible nuisance. While each individual ant is only about ⅛ of an inch in length, you aren't going to have just one ant get inside. There can be 100,000 workers in an odorous house ant colony. That's a lot of tiny ants! And all of those ants can start to create an unpleasant smell in your home. Here are a few more important facts you need to know about odorous house ants in Williamsburg, Virginia.
• Spiders
  Spiders are easy for most to identify; they are arachnids and have two body parts, eight legs, and many eyes. Ranging in size from tiny to big, every species of spider has their own unique looks and behaviors. All spiders produce silk, but not all spiders make webs with the silk. Non-web building spiders create burrows in the ground where they hide and stalk their prey. Another difference between spiders is that some use webs to passively catch prey, while others actively chase after and hunt down prey.

• Bed Bugs
  Many people consider bed bugs to be pests that only infest filthy homes and businesses, but that is not the case. Bed bugs can get into any house or commercial facility in Williamsburg, no matter how clean or dirty. Once inside, they can be extremely difficult to get rid of without professional bed bug exterminators.
• Fleas
  No one wants to spend time outside when they’re sure to get covered in itchy bug bites. No one wants to worry about sending their kids or pets out to play because of the threat of tick bites or the concern of bringing fleas into your house. No one wants to get sick with any of the many illnesses that these pests transmit, some of which are deadly.
• Cockroaches
  As one of the most common pests living worldwide, cockroaches are relatively easy for most people to identify. Cockroaches have oval-shaped bodies, six legs, long antennae, and chewing mouthparts. Most cockroaches have wings, but most don't use them; instead, cockroaches rely on their legs and people to move them from place to place. They are also usually a dark color, helping them to hide.
• Silverfish
  Silverfish are hearty insects capable of adapting to most climates but have high moisture needs, and when living outside or inside structures, they prefer to live in dark, damp areas. Pearl-gray in color, covered in metallic scales, and moving from place to place using a wiggling fish-like manner, it is easy to see how silverfish received their name. These insects are also called “bristle-tails” because of the three long tail-like appendages that emerge from the body’s end.
• Wasps
• Ticks
  Ticks feed on the blood on people and animals, usually feeding on a new host at each stage of life. Most ticks go through four life stages: eggs, larva, nymph, and adult. Completing their entire life cycle can take more than three years, depending on environmental conditions and the availability of hosts.
• Crickets
• Earwigs
• Mosquitoes
  The male’s proboscis differs from the female’s in that it is not strong enough to pierce human or animal skin. Males do not consume blood meals; only females do in order to get the protein they need to make eggs and complete their life cycle. When female mosquitoes pierce the skin with their proboscis, they inject two tubes — one to inject an enzyme to stop the blood from clotting and the other to suck out the blood.
• Flies
  Tiny fly-like insects that are most active when people are active, mosquitoes are bothersome, biting pests that no one wants living on their Virginia property. Mosquitoes seem to have an unspoken commitment to making us miserable. Mosquitoes have two wings and are a type of fly, but they differ from other flies because their wings are covered in scales. They also have a long-piercing mouthpart (proboscis) they use for sucking up liquids. The principal food source for mosquitoes is nectar or other sugary liquids.

• Moths
• Mites
  Ticks are both arachnids and ectoparasites and are related to spiders and mites. Adult ticks have eight legs, two body parts, and lack wings and antennae. Ectoparasites are parasites that feed on their host’s blood from the outside of the host’s body. Ticks don’t jump or fly, so in order to find a host, they wait in tall grass or dense vegetation for a person or animal to come by that they can climb on.
• Aphids
  Odorous house ants are often found climbing all over landscape vegetation because the honeydew left by plant-damaging insects, such as aphids, are an ideal food source.

Bird Control

Rodent Control

• Squirrels
  Ticks mainly live and breed outside and are carried from place to place on the backs of their animal hosts. When animals like rodents, deer, foxes, raccoons, and squirrels travel across our properties or forage for food, it is common for them to leave behind some unwelcome visitors: ticks.
• Rodents
  Although having any pest get into your home or business is an unpleasant experience, rodents can be particularly problematic. Getting rid of a rodent infestation is hard to do and can be dangerous if you attempt it yourself. However, ignoring the problem is not an option.
• Mice
  There are many different rodent species worldwide; in fact, rodents make up the largest groups of mammals. Many species live far away from people, but some, including mice and rats, have learned to live near humans. In our area, house mice, roof rats, and Norway rats have become a problem for home and business owners. They gain their basic necessities from our properties.
• Rats
  Agile roof rats like to nest up off the ground in attics, roof eaves, wall voids, and upper cabinets.
