Ants cause various types of damage, depending upon the variety. Carpenter ants tunnel through wood, destroying structures. Pharaoh ants may transmit serious diseases. A fire ant’s sting is potentially deadly to susceptible individuals, and all ants contaminate the food they infest.
Spiders
Except for poisonous spiders, such as the black widow and the brown recluse, spiders are not harmful to humans. When it’s important to control spiders, chemical control is used, along with destruction of webs and eggs. Since they feed on insects, measures that control unwanted insects will also reduce spider populations.
Termites
Termites eat wood, and can consequently cause great structural damage to your home if left unchecked. A typical homeowner's insurance policy does not cover destruction caused by termites, even though they cause over 1 billion dollars in damage to homes throughout the United States each year. Our inspection and treatment program can help you understand the threat of termites, and take the necessary steps to protect your home.
Fleas
The LeMarr Group specializes in termites, rodents and general pest control (ants, spiders, roaches, flying insects, and fleas). We offer yard perimeter spraying, animal trapping services, and wood destroying insect inspections, treatments, and pre-treatments (during and after final construction).
Cockroaches
Cockroaches spread human disease by depositing disease organisms on food and utensils. The American cockroach, which comes into contact with human excrement in sewers or with pet droppings, may transmit bacteria that cause Salmonella and Shigella. German cockroaches are believed to be capable of transmitting disease-causing organisms such as Staphylococcus, hepatitis, and coliform bacteria. They also have been implicated in the spread of typhoid and dysentery.
Silverfish
Crickets can get inside and feed on a wide variety of fabrics, such as cotton and wool. They may gather in large numbers at night around lights giving off that ever-present chirping noise. Silverfish will eat paper, cardboard, and certain fabrics. Millipedes feed on decaying organic material and are usually found outside in mulch and flower beds. They can make their way inside.
Bees
Termites aren’t the only wood-munching pests around. Wood bores, powder post beetles, carpenter bees and carpenter ants all bore and tunnel their way through wood in buildings, causing structural integrity issues.
Wasps
Crickets
For crickets and millipedes, total extermination outdoors is impossible but have great success indoors. Pests of this sort are best treated chemically.
Flies
The control of House flies, Cluster flies, Moths and others will always require on-going attention as these flying insects can go virtually anywhere. Our program will significantly reduce your flying insect problems through a careful plan that involves surface spraying, light traps, and bait.

Mice
The presence of mice and rats is usually detected by the damage they cause to food and structures, by their droppings, and by their nests. Treatment involves eliminating all entry points and population reduction by the application of rodenticides and traps. Learn more.
