Rodents

Although rats and mice are the most common rodents in the area, you may also see possums and raccoons. Do not try to chase these pests away. They may carry rabies and will often attack and bite you if provoked. Mice and rats may hide behind walls or in secluded areas of your home. Rats can carry listeria, which is spread through their urine. Some mice carry hantavirus in their droppings. Both are serious illnesses that require medical treatment. Since rats and mice eat through paper and plastic food containers, they can also cost you money in lost inventory by contaminating your food supply.

Bedbugs

You may inadvertently pick up bedbugs in hotels, at work or at a friend's home. You may bring them home by purchasing used or returned furniture. Your child can also bring them home from school in a backpack. These pests multiply fast. Since they are tiny, flat and elusive, it is hard to detect an infestation. The itchy red bumps caused by them biting you while you sleep may be the only telltale sign. However, they also leave reddish-brown excrement that looks like dirt. You may find it along your mattress or on furniture. These pests feed on your blood but can live for over a month without it. We offer the most effective methods for removing and preventing all termites.

Carpenter Ants

These ants are distinguishable from other types because they chew on wood. Carpenter ants build colonies in the wood, and the destruction grows as their population increases. Although they are most common outdoors in damp trees and along wet exposed eaves, you may find them in your basement, bathroom or another room in the home where wood can get and stay damp. Our professionals know how to remove these ants and prevent further wood damage.
