Ants are social insects that live in colonies. These insects are known to enter buildings to seek shelter and forage for food. Some of the common ant species include sugar ants, fire ants, carpenter ants, black ants, and Argentina ants. Although their intentions are typically harmless, they can become a disturbance when they start infesting food sources or biting individuals. Being bitten by ants can be painful and some ants are also venomous.
Spiders
There is, apparently, no honor among spiders. They feed on not only various insects but other spiders (provided they can overtake them) or the prey of others. They like to hide in dark areas and is especially fond of warm, dry spaces such as attics, ceiling corners of any room, or subfloor air vents. Some do dampness so buildings with crawlspaces and basements are just the type of moisture laden places where they can be found. There are literally tens of thousands of species around the world. What they all have in common are two body segments and eight legs, and pairs of eyes that can number either four or three.
Termites
If you thought that termites are simply termites, think again. There are more than 2000 different species in all. There is the desert termite, conehead termite, subterranean termite, formosan termite, drywood termite, dampwood termite, and more. Regardless, every single one of them is referred to as the “silent destroyer”. Even though no immediate signs of damage may be apparent, they are likely thriving and hiding in your yard and home, just waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are recognized as a form of parasitic insects from the cimicid family. These insects are very tiny, are mainly active at night, and feed exclusively on blood (they prefer human blood!). Bed bugs are typically reddish-brown, flat, and have an overall oval shape. Size-wise, they are just about the size of an apple seed, i.e., 4-5 mm long. Here is more about this common pest and proper ways for bed bug control...
Fleas
Keep health hazards to a minimum: As mentioned, pest birds are known to spread over 60 transmittable diseases, including histoplasmosis, encephalitis, meningitis, and more. With bird proper control, you can also stop birds from spreading fleas, lice, ticks and mites.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are one of the most common creepy crawlies that can send tingles down one’s spine or make your skin crawl. There are two main types of cockroaches: German and American. The former is smaller in size (brown banded roaches are small as well) while the latter are the larger ones. German roaches are difficult to control for the untrained individual and they carry diseases that can cause diarrhea, dysentery, and food poisoning. Other common roaches found the United States include woods roaches, oriental roaches, smoky brown roaches, and Australian roaches.
Silverfish
Bees
Bees are winged insects that can either be solitary or social in nature. Some of the common species of bees include honey bees, bumble bees, carpenter bees, and ground bees. Although bees have a great ecological importance, having a bee hive in or near your property can be dangerous as bees do sting when they feel endangered or when they display the instinctive desire to feed themselves. Bee stings are painful and can trigger certain allergic reactions, that’s why it is pertinent to perform bee control and removal as soon as possible.
Wasps
Each of the pests listed above is an annoyance at the very least. With many, the possibility of them carrying diseases and spreading them to you and your family becomes a definite reality. Rodents, in particular, are known for carrying and spreading disease. Wasps, whereas they may not be disease carriers, can trigger anaphylactic shock in those suffering from specific allergies. And their sting is extremely painful. Flies, like rodents, have a reputation for spreading diseases.
Ticks
Ticks have never been a good thing where humans and animals are concerned. There are various species of ticks. If they get accidentally torn off or purposely removed without also removing the head, a serious infection could set in. They are ugly, annoying, disgusting, and now they have a whole new characteristic – Lyme disease. If a tick that has Lyme disease sinks his head into a human or animal, it can transfer the Lyme disease to that human or animal.
Crickets
Earwigs
Mosquitoes
Though mosquitoes have never been pleasant little creatures that you’d want around on even a temporary basis, they are pretty much just annoying. They cause itchiness, red bumps, they buzz around your ears when you’re trying to sleep – but now they are most notoriously known for spreading something even more devious – Zika. And though there are endless mosquito control products on the market, calling in a professional pest control company is your best bet of standing even a chance with these demons of the air.
Flies
Flies are nuisance insects that have existed for thousands of years. Flies, such as the common house fly, are classified as filth flies as they typically breed in garbage, manure, and rotten food. This means that they can affect your health and well-being via the diseases they can transmit. Fruits flies, flesh flies, small flies, etc., have a quick maturity rate and that’s why they can cause a serious fly problem within a short period of time.
Centipedes
Millipedes
The most common pest infestations for government buildings are these: Termites, rodents, millipedes, lice, flies, cockroaches, wasps and bees, bed bugs, and ants.
Beetles
Insects: Delhi Sands Flower-loving Flies, Quino Checkerspot Butterflies, Kern Primrose Sphinx Moths, Mount Hermon June Beetles, and more.
Scorpions
Particularly in children, or those with high sensitivity to insect bites and stings, the Bark Scorpions venom can be exceedingly toxic and possibly deadly Frequently, the only way someone knows if they’ve actually been stung by a scorpion is if they see the scorpion sting them or see it running away after being stung.
Hornets
Moths
There are a number of home remedies that people insist work, such as peppermint oil, citrus, cinnamon, etc. There are, of course, sprays on the market that will kill spiders on contact. But in order to make sure that spiders never come back, you will need to eliminate their food source – which could easily be moths and other bugs that are attracted to your porch light. Additionally, sealing up nooks and crevices will be helpful. Ideally, however, a professional pest control service will not only get rid of the spiders you currently have but take measures to ensure that your home will be spider free in the future as well.
Stink Bugs
Mites
Gnats
Use a moderate amount of water for indoor potted plants: Avoid over-watering your indoor plants because overly soaked soil provides an ideal breeding area for gnats. Make sure your pots are well-drained as well.
Bird pests can cause serious problems for businesses and that’s why Pest Elimination Systems Technology, Inc. is committed to solving these issues via safe, effective, and humane ways. At PEST, we provide stellar bird control solutions that can deter specific pest birds effectively. You can rest assured that we do not condone the use of dangerous chemicals and traps.
Woodpeckers
Some bird species are good to have around, perhaps for their mesmerizing birdsong and attractive plumage. However, many bird species are considered as pests when a large number of them flock together in a single roosting site. They may contaminate finished goods and raw materials, which lead to revenue losses. Also, slippery bird droppings can cause safety risks to employees and customers such as slip and fall accidents. In the U.S., pigeons, sparrows, starlings, crows, geese, and woodpeckers are some of the bird species that fall into this category.
Sparrows
Bird species such as sparrows and pigeons are known to carry ornithosis and campylobacter. The bacteria they carry can cause salmonellosis, which is a type of food poisoning.
Starlings
Crows
Pigeons
Using wire meshes: Cover small, cozy spaces like vents with wire mesh. Remember to secure them with nails. Good for preventing pigeons from nesting.
There is likely not one environment on earth, natural or man-made, that is 100% safe from insects, rodents, or some type of pest. Some buildings, businesses, homes, etc. are simply more conducive to pest infestation than others. Possibly one of the biggest challenges is knowing that you have a problem when all the signs and symptoms are well hidden. Additionally, figuring out how the invading entity got into your building in the first place is paramount. Without securing your space, it will never be entirely yours.
Mice
Mice are found in homes, farm fields, food production facilities, restaurants, livestock facilities, warehouses, supermarkets, and more. These pests have the ability to cause damage to a building by burrowing and gnawing. Mice are able to gnaw through an array of materials to get from point A to point B. These materials include concrete, aluminum siding, cinder block, and even lead sheathing. Mice are responsible for the spread of many different diseases and that’s why sanitation and mice control efforts must always be maintained. The most common mouse species found in the United States is the Norway rat.
Rats
Your best bet is to call in the professionals. Because rats are extremely intelligent and educate themselves about their surroundings and pathways, baits and traps are frequently ignored. Professionals are trained not only in how to kill pests but control their breeding, thereby assuring you of a pest free environment in the future as well as in the present. Pest control technicians are specially educated in the behavior of all of the pests that they encounter in their daily routines.
Squirrels
Invaders that are occasionally seen, but less common, include the following: ladybugs, stink bugs, earwigs, roly-poly bugs, centipedes, millipedes, crickets, and spiders. In facilities with courtyards, even wild animals can pose a problem such as birds, squirrels, raccoons, etc.
