What pest are you dealing with?

Most ant problems start outside and move in through cracks around doors and windows. Some species bite, some damage wood, and some are just impossible to ignore.

Bed bugs hide in mattresses and furniture and come out at night to feed. An infestation spreads fast and won't go away without professional treatment.

Cockroaches thrive in warm, humid spaces and are active mostly at night. They carry bacteria and trigger allergies — and they're tough to eliminate.

Earwigs are drawn to moisture and often show up in basements, bathrooms, and garden beds. They rarely cause serious damage but can appear in large numbers when conditions are right.

Fleas come in on pets and spread through carpet, bedding, and furniture fast. They bite humans and animals and are hard to clear without treating both the pet and the home.

Mosquitoes breed in standing water and can make outdoor spaces unusable in summer. Some carry diseases including West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis.

Clothes moths destroy wool, silk, and natural fabrics stored in closets. Pantry moths infest dry goods like flour, grains, and pet food — both need different treatment approaches.

Mice and rats get into walls, chew wiring, and contaminate food. They breed quickly, so one or two sightings usually means a bigger problem.

Scorpions are common in the Southwest and hide in dark, dry spaces including shoes, boxes, and wall voids. Most stings cause pain and swelling, but the bark scorpion found in Arizona can be dangerous.

Silverfish target paper, fabric, and dry food — damage often shows up in books, closets, and pantries. They prefer damp spaces, so humidity control is part of any treatment plan.

Most snakes found near homes are non-venomous, but several species common to North America are not. If you can't identify the snake, don't approach it — call a professional.

Most spiders are harmless, but black widows and brown recluses are common across North America and their bites need medical attention. A heavy spider presence usually means other pests are nearby.

Termites eat wood from the inside out and damage is invisible until it's serious. They're active year-round and a threat to any structure with wood framing.

Ticks attach to skin during outdoor activity and can transmit Lyme disease and other serious illnesses. Finding and removing them quickly reduces risk, but a professional can help reduce tick populations on your property.

Wasps and hornets build nests in eaves, attics, and trees — and will sting repeatedly if disturbed. Nest removal should always be handled by a professional.

Raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and other wildlife can get into attics, crawl spaces, and garbage. Removal requires humane trapping and exclusion work to keep them from returning.
