Before we can effectively treat an infestation or pest problem, we identify the pest causing you problems. Proper pest identification is important to prevent ineffective pest prevention strategies. It also prevents the improper use of control methods, such as pesticides that could impact the environment.
Do you feel like you are constantly battling ants in your home? The longer an ant infestation goes unaddressed, the more difficult it is to get rid of the problem.
Spiders
Spiders are a common pest in Northern California and across the country. Some species can be hazardous due to venomous bites. Black widows and brown widows are common in California, including the Sacramento area. These spiders may be found in and around properties, such as in brush piles, gardens, and in bedding or clothing. The venomous bite produced by a black widow can lead to painful and sometimes serious symptoms.
Termites
Carpenter ants. Carpenter ants are not like termites. They do not eat wood. However, they can still cause extensive structural damage to your home. Carpenter ants like nesting in wet or rotting wood. If you have water damage or leaky pipes that have affected your home, they may excavate the wood to build a nest.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on human blood. Due to their flat, oval-shaped bodies, bed bugs can easily hide undetected when they are inactive. Unfortunately, this means that it can be difficult to diagnose a bed bug population until an infestation exists. If you believe you have a
Fleas
There are millions of pet owners in Sacramento and across California. Although dogs and cats are wonderful companions, they can also attract blood-sucking insects such as fleas. If you have a flea infestation, it should be taken seriously. Our flea exterminators in Sacramento can help.
Cockroaches
Cockroach fossils have been dated as hundreds of millions of years old. Cockroaches have not been around for so long because of luck, but because they can adapt and thrive in most environments. This means that cockroaches are one of the hardest pests to eliminate.
Silverfish
There are few, if any, insects that you would be happy to find in your home. Infestations can be overwhelming, unsettling and uncomfortable for your family — not to mention visitors. But the truth is, some infestations are worse than others. One of the most annoying pests you could find in your home is the silverfish.
Bees
A telltale sign of an infestation is an increase in the number of stinging pest sightings near your property. This may warrant a call to your local pest control company.
Wasps
Paper wasps. These wasps are brown with yellow markings and are typically 16 to 20 millimeters long. Paper wasps make their hives out of a paper-like material, which can be found in residential cracks, crevices and yards.
Ticks
Ticks are disease-spreading pests that can cause serious injury and harm to you and your loved ones. Protecting yourself from ticks is difficult, especially in the warmer months. Ticks are common throughout California and often found in tall grass and wooded areas. However, even suburban backyards can become infested with ticks.
Crickets
Crickets prefer outdoor spaces and are most often an outdoor pest. Even so, crickets will invade homes and businesses in search for food, water and shelter. If you need Sacramento cricket extermination, contact our pest control company for a consultation.
Earwigs
Earwigs have a reputation for burrowing into people’s ears. This is a bad myth. An earwig is an insect recognized by its pincers or forceps. Their pincers may look dangerous, but they are generally harmless to humans. They are more of a nuisance pest. If you need help with earwig control on your property, contact our Sacramento earwig exterminators to discuss your situation.
Flies

Beetles
There are many beetle species that inhabit Northern California. Unfortunately for homeowners and businesses, beetles can cause significant damage to properties, furniture and clothing. Carpet beetles, for instance, can cause serious damage to fabrics in your home or business.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets. These insects have black and yellow stripes. They vary in length between 10 and 16 millimeters. Yellow jackets can be very aggressive. For example, they will first bite and sting their perceived attackers. They often make their hives in woodpiles, attics and the external nooks of houses.
Stinging Insects
Stinging insects in Sacramento come in many forms. While they all have stinging in common, these insects’ behaviors may vary. Some live solitary lifestyles, and others live in colonies. However, each will sting when they feel their hive or life is threatened. Often, this can mean trouble for us.
Mites
Keep in mind that a controlled number of earwigs in your garden could be beneficial. Earwigs are a natural predator to other California garden pests like aphids and mites.
Aphids
Our tree and shrub technician Rick went above and beyond yesterday. He helped me with paper wasp issues, and ants and shrub questions. He spent so long at my home outdoors spraying and performing a systemic treatment to keep away the aphids on my crepe myrtles. This treatment really works and my driveway is no longer a sticky mess. This is the third year for the systemic. Jones Bros has been servicing my home for over 10 years!
