Ants
On the hunt for food, a single ant can lead the way for the entire colony to invade your home. The best way to control the problem is to find the nest and remove the queen.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches can spread germs, make allergies worse, and multiply at record-breaking speed.
Termites
More homes are damaged by termites each year than by fire.
Flies
Flies carry more than 100 pathogens that can cause dangerous diseases in humans and animals, such as typhoid, polio, and tuberculosis.
Rodents
Because rodents multiply so quickly, just a few can lead to an out-of-control infestation before you know it.
Spiders
Not only are their webs a nuisance around the house, but spiders can inflict painful, sometimes dangerous bites.
Mosquitoes
The threat of mosquito-borne diseases could affect your family and pets.
Silverfish
Found in areas of high humidity, silverfish eat through paper and other items with high starch content.
Fleas
Fleas feed on human blood through small bites in the skin. They can jump from your carpet up to your ankles and calves. A female flea can produce up to 800 eggs during her lifetime.
Ticks
Ticks carry many serious diseases, including Lyme disease, encephalitis, and typhus. They can live for over 500 days without a meal.
Wasps and Bees
Wasps can be distinguished from Bees by their smooth, rather than hairy, bodies. Very protective of their nests, they will defend against invaders with painful stings. The common bee stings, while harmless to most people, can be very painful.
Crickets
House crickets can damage silk, woolen, paper, fruits, and vegetables. They can eat almost anything available.
Moths
Female Moths can lay up to 200 eggs. Moth larvae feed on wool fabric and fur, damaging valuable clothing items.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants cut “galleries” into the wood in your home. Colonies can contain up to 50,000 workers, and infestations are very difficult to control. Carpenter ants may also be mistaken for termites.
Other
Depending on where you live, pests such as pill bugs, centipedes, and scorpions can invade your home.
