You Might Be Hearing the Quiet, Destructive Sounds of Insects That Chew Through Wood
A little pile of what looks like sawdust near a window, or faint clicking sounds from within the walls, are serious red flags. Carpenter Ants and Subterranean Termites are two different species that both cause major headaches for homeowners. Carpenter Ants tunnel through wood to build their nests, often in a damp tree stump outside or moist wood in a basement or bathroom. Termites actually eat the wood, working from the inside out.
We know how to spot the subtle differences between them. Our ant and termite pest control services involve a complete inspection to find out exactly what you have, where they are, and how to get them out of your home for good. We also handle the Powder Post Beetle, whose larvae can turn beams into dust!
Enjoying Your Yard Should Not Feel Like You Are Walking Through a Minefield of Biting and Stinging Pests
Your property should be a safe space, but it can be home to some nasty characters. The Asian Tiger Mosquito is an aggressive biter that can carry diseases, and it can breed in a bottle cap full of water. Ticks, like the Deer Tick or Lone Star Tick, hang out on a tall plant waiting to latch on, posing a real health risk. Then you have the stinging insects. A Paper Wasp nest under your deck railing or a Baldfaced Hornet nest hanging from a tree branch is a serious threat.
Our mosquito and tick control focuses on making your yard comfortable again. We target mosquito breeding grounds and treat your property to reduce tick and flea populations, and we can safely remove a wasp nest so you can relax outside again.
We Handle Those Pantry Pests and Fabric Feeders That Move Into Your Closets and Cupboards
These pests get into your home in sneaky ways, often hitching a ride in bags of flour, pet food, or even on an antique rug. The Indian Meal Moth is a common one; you might see the adult moth flying around, but the real damage comes from its larva, which spins webs in your grains and food. The same goes for the Saw-Toothed Grain Beetle.
On the other side, the Webbing Clothes Moth and Carpet Beetle larvae will happily chew through your natural fibers, ruining clothing and rugs. This kind of pest control starts with a search. We help you find the source of the insect infestation, whether it is an old bag of rice or a forgotten sweater, and then treat the area to stop the cycle. We can even give you tips on how to store food and clothing to keep it from happening again.
When the Seasons Change, Your House Can Become a Convention Center for Bugs Like Stink Bugs and Millipedes
You open your curtains one fall morning and see a dozen Stink Bugs sunning themselves on the glass. Or you head to the basement and find a carpet of millipedes. These seasonal invaders, like Boxelder Bugs and even Lady Bugs, are just looking for a warm place to spend the winter. They are not like a fly buzzing around your fruit, and their presence is not as worrying as finding a mouse or a bed bug, but seeing them in huge numbers is still unsettling.
Our pest control work for these guys is all about prevention. We create a barrier around your home's exterior, sealing up the tiny cracks and gaps they use to get inside so they never become your roommates in the first place.
