Fleas
Fleas are a common pest problem for many households, especially those with pets or those in rural farm areas. While we normally think of fleas as pests that cause discomfort by biting, they can also carry several diseases. Flea treatment for your pets and indoor and outdoor pesticide treatment. Regular house cleaning methods, such as vacuuming, can also control fleas and reduce their occurrence.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches have been around for a whopping 400 million years. During that time, they have become perhaps the most popular of household pests. While roach infestations are a nasty nuisance, they also carry several disease pathogens that are linked to food-poisoning, staph, strep, E-coli and others. Roaches often occur in groups, and will eat anything that provides nutritional value. To prevent roaches from coming into your property, check incoming items for roaches and maintain a clean environment.
Silverfish
Silverfish are fish-shaped insects with silvery scales covering their bodies. Signs of silverfish infestation include feeding marks, yellow stains and black, pepper-looking feces on food sources such as wall paper, labels and envelops. They can be found almost anywhere inside residential and commercial structures. They prefer room temperature areas with high humidity. If you identify silverfish at your property, a professional inspection followed by the necessary silverfish treatment should be done to eliminate the infestation.
Bees
Bees are a beneficial group of insects that pollinate flowering plants, supply humans with delectable honey and control other insect pest species. However, they can be of medical concern because of the effects of their sting. Bee control methods should be done only where bees are an immediate threat to humans and pets. Bees can be controlled using the appropriate pesticides and applications.
Wasps
Paper wasps are brown with yellow or red markings and are 5/8 to 3/4 inches long. They typically hang their nests from trees, shrubbery, porches, or other railings. They are not aggressive, but will sting if disturbed.
Ticks
As you may already know, ticks are parasites that that feed on the blood of mammal hosts. They are a problem because of the diseases various species carry, including Lyme disease Rocky Mountain, tick paralysis, Colorado tick fever and several others. Ticks are found all over the world, particularly in regions with warm, damp climates. It is important to be cautious in wooded areas, checking your skin and clothing after leaving. If you happen to catch a tick, be sure to remove it carefullIf you happen to catch a tick, the safest method for tick removal from your skin is to carefully pluck it with a pair of tweezers, disinfecting the bite area afterwards.y with a pair of tweezers, disinfecting the bite area afterwards.
Crickets
Crickets are nocturnal insects that are known for chirping. They eat a variety of plant material, organic matter and occasionally other crickets. While they are harmless to humans, they can become pests if they enter the home and damage clothes and other fabrics.
Earwigs
Earwigs are most easily identified by their forceps. They are dark red-brown in color with light brown legs and are around 5/8-inch long. They are nocturnal and will seek harborage areas under organic matter during the day.
Mosquitoes
The Southeastern United States is no stranger to mosquitoes; they appear like clockwork as soon as temperatures begin to warm in the spring. Health issues cause this pest to not only to be a nuisance but also a threat to health safety. Through source reduction methods and treatment programs the threat of mosquitoes can be diminished and allow for safe outdoor enjoyment. Learn more about American Pest Control mosquito removal and reduction methods to become better acquainted to our procedures.
Flies
Flies are both a nuisance and a health hazard, as they carry multiple disease-causing organisms. Identification is perhaps the most important step in pest control to apply the most effective fly elimination strategy.
Centipedes
House centipedes are gray-yellow with three stripes. They have elongated bodies and an average of 35 pairs of legs. The house centipede is 1 to 1 1/2 inches long. They prefer moist areas such as basements, closets, or bathrooms.
Millipedes
3. Guaranteed control of all common crawling pests, including but not limited to: ants, roaches, spiders, millipedes, centipedes, scorpions, earwigs, springtails, fleas, ticks, mice and rats.
Beetles
Powderpost Beetles are a wood destroying organism that feed on the sugar, starch, and protein found in wood. These beetles will be attracted to wood with high moisture content, so a low moisture environment in areas such as crawl spaces is ideal to avoid a powderpost beetle infestation. While you will likely never see the beetle itself, the damage can be identified by the small round holes they create in infested wood along with the frass they leave behind.
Scorpions
Scorpions can be identified by their pinchers and segmented tail. The venomous stinger is used to paralyze and kill insects and spiders. If they were to sting a human, however, most species only cause pain compared to that of a wasp sting. If the person is allergic to scorpion venom the results could be more painful or life-threatening.
Hornets
Yellow jackets are black and yellow patterned and are 3/8 to 5/8 inch long. As with bald-faced hornets, they can sting multiple times and will sting if they perceive a threat to their territory. Their nests are typically in the ground or in higher areas such as eaves or attics.
Yellow Jackets
Moths
Indian meal moths are known for feeding on corn meal, but will also feed on dried fruits, seeds, nuts, sweets, bird seed, dog food, etc. They have red-brown coloring on the outer part of their wings and are up to 5/8-inch long. Their main threat is contaminating infested food products.
Stink Bugs
Brown marmorated stink bugs are gray-brown in color and 3/4 inch long. They release an unpleasant odor when crushed or disturbed. They do pose a threat to crops, but otherwise are just a nuisance pest because of their tendency to invade homes in large numbers.
Mites
Most ladybugs are beneficial species of the beetle family. They eat other insects such as mites and mealybugs. A few ladybug species are leaf eaters, making them plant pests. No direct pest control of ladybugs is recommended, as they are most often beneficial insects that cause no health or structural hazards. As far as ladybug removal is concerned, temporary relief can be achieved by vacuuming and sealing possible entry points.
Springtails
Springtails derive their name from the spring-like structure that allows them to jump. They are nuisance pests that prefer high moisture areas where they can feed on decaying vegetation, bacteria, pollen, algae and the like. Since they are in search for moisture, Springtails often make their way into bathrooms, kitchens and crawl spaces as well as potted plants. Outdoors, they may be found in damp areas such as mulch, leaf piles and logs. If springtails are found in your house, the best way to remove them is to dry out the area of springtail infestation, after which they will leave or die. If the area cannot be dried, then the appropriate pesticide should be applied.
Boxelder Bugs
Boxelder bugs often are found on and around boxelder trees, hence their name. They feed on leaves, flowers, and seeds. While boxelder bugs do not bite, they do have piercing sucking mouthparts that can puncture skin and cause irritation similar to that of a mosquito bite.

Animal Control

Raccoons
Fleas are dark red-brown in color and are 1/12 to 1/16-inch long. They will feed on any warm-blooded body, typically dogs, cats, or humans. They may also infest wildlife animals such as raccoons, skunks, or opossums. They can carry diseases and cause allergies in pets. Frequent vacuuming and lawn maintenance can help deter this pest.

Rodent Control

Rodents
The Norway rat is the largest of rodents. They damage materials, eat and contaminate stored food and carry disease. They are 7 to 9 ¼ inches long with course brown and black fur. Signs of a house mouse infestation include gnaw marks, droppings, burrows, damaged goods, etc. They will eat almost anything, and enjoy meat, cereal and dog food in particular. They nest along embankments, sewers, basements and sometimes in attics. To eradicate and control Norway rats, it is important to understand their behavior in order to effectively set traps.
Mice
The house mouse is the most commonly seen rodent. They damage materials, eat and contaminate stored food and carry disease. Adult house mice are about 3 inches in size and dusty gray in color with a white belly. Signs of a rat infestation include gnaw marks, droppings, burrows, damaged goods, etc. They eat many kinds of food, preferring seeds and insects. They typically nest in dark, undisturbed places as mice are nocturnal creatures. Control is based on behavior - to set traps effectively, place them where mice are likely to have been.
Rats
These fleas are best-known as the carriers of bubonic plague from rats to humans. They are found worldwide as well as in the United States, especially in seaport areas. They are reddish brown in color, and primarily feed on rats.
