Spiders
Brown Recluse Spiders: The bites of these spiders can be deadly to humans, so it’s important to know what they look like. Brown recluses are, as the name implies, brown, with a dark brown fiddle-shaped marking, and can grow to be about 1/2" long. They feed upon soft-bodied insects and hunt their prey at night. At sunup, they drag their food to spun irregular off-white webs in dark secluded areas. They can live up to 3 years. If bitten, seek immediate medical attention.

Silverfish
Silverfish: These pests like to eat paper, glue, starch, and textiles. Silverfish will feed on wallpaper and are often found in books or cardboard packaging. They are nocturnal and flee from light and may even jump away. They are silvery-white, cone-shaped, and 1/2-3/4" long.
Bees
Bald-Faced Hornets: Bald-faced hornets are protective of their nests and will sting repeatedly if that nest is physically disturbed. They are more aggressive than other wasps, bees, and hornets you may encounter, and it is not considered safe to approach the nest for observation purposes. Bald-faced hornets will aggressively attack with little provocation, and if you suspect they may be present on your property, contact our pest control specialists immediately.
Wasps
Paper Wasps: These pests like to build hanging honeycomb-shaped nests from eaves, overhangs, or tree branches. Colors and sizes can differ among species. They are territorial and extremely aggressive, so it is best to let the professionals handle them and stay away from any nests you may find.
Ticks
Ticks: Ticks are found on pets, domestic animals, wildlife, and people. They are parasites, feeding on the blood of their hosts. Ticks are known vectors of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease, and can also cause paralysis in children and dogs.
Earwigs
Earwigs: Earwigs are small, with pairs of horny, forcepslike abdominal appendages, larger in the male than in the female, and short, leathery forewings that cover the membranous hindwings when folded.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes can make enjoying outdoor life extremely unpleasant. In addition to itchy bites, they can transmit potentially deadly diseases. Unfortunately, mosquitoes are a fact of life in our area of the country. While they can’t be completely eliminated, they can be significantly reduced with the right treatment and prevention approach. Cleary Exterminating Co. Inc has provided mosquito control in Covington, GA for more than 40 years.
Centipedes
Centipedes: Unlike millipedes, centipedes are venomous. Their venom allows them to attack prey and defend themselves against predators and other natural enemies. 5-hydroxytryptamine, a compound that can break down cell walls, is present in some centipede species found in North America. Centipede venom is not fatal to humans, although some individuals may be allergic to it.
Millipedes
Millipedes: Millipedes do not have a poisonous bite, but many protect themselves by producing offensive odors from their stink glands, and some produce highly irritating compounds that can injure the skin or eyes of attackers. They feed mostly on decaying vegetation, although some will consume decaying animal food. Some species attack plant roots and cause crop damage.
Beetles
If you are selling or refinancing your home, you may need a Georgia Wood Infestation Report, also known as a termite letter. This is a report that offers proof of any wood infestation. In addition to termites, these letters cover ventilation, powder post beetles, and wood to ground contact. We can provide an inspection and termite letter for your home.
Hornets
Yellow Jackets
Yellow Jackets: Yellow jackets typically build nests that hang from trees and buildings, but they will also nest in the ground and in walls-voids and attics. Their nests have one entrance, and many workers that protect the nest. They have a lance-like stinger with small barbs and typically sting repeatedly.
Boxelder Bugs
Boxelder Bugs: Boxelder bugs are a nuisance in and around homes from fall through early spring. This bug is about 1/2" long as an adult, black with three red lines on the thorax, a red line along each side, and a diagonal red line on each wing. The immature forms are smaller and are easily distinguished from the adults by their red abdomens and lack of wings.
The Norway Rat: Norway rats are a destructive pest commonly found in urban and suburban neighborhoods. These rodents eat and contaminate food, damage buildings and other property by their gnawing and burrowing, and may spread diseases that affect people and pets. These rats are larger than mice and have proportionally smaller ears and bigger hind feet.
Mice
Rats
The House Mouse: Mice are generally much smaller than rats and can squeeze through holes slightly larger than a pencil eraser. This means that even if your home is rat-proof, mice can still make their way inside, where they can eat your food and gnaw away at walls, wires, and insulation. As an additional distinction between the two, mice have proportionally smaller ears and smaller hind legs than rats.
