Tiny but mighty, mice can generate significant damage to your home. The house mouse is the most common mammal in the United States, giving them the top spot in the list of extermination requests. Rodents carry and transmit disease and illness, including Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome.
Bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, bumblebees, and cicadas can cause property damage and personal injury for homeowners and business owners alike. While most can be a nuisance, some are aggressive. Destructive bees come in the form of carpenter bees and mortar bees. The damage that can occur to your home and other wooded structures can be costly.
Termites love the dark and feed below the foundation levels of structures. They look for opportunities where wood meets the ground and is often damp. They bore through these surfaces and other entry possibilities via cracked foundations or in brick or stone facing. Damage can be extensive.
Ants are probably the most common complaint we get as a pest control service. If you have ants in your kitchen on the counters or floors, they are most likely pavement ants or house ants. Carpenter ants are destructive and dangerous to your home or commercial structures. They got their name because they build tunnels by drilling through the wood, creating a home for their nests.
The German cockroach is the most common species worldwide. These roaches love to inhabit restaurants, hotels, food-producing factories, and institutional facilities. Other species include the American cockroach and the Oriental cockroach. These roaches carry bacteria and viruses, including E-coli, salmonella, and forms of food poisoning and illness.
Flea infestation should be taken seriously and often require professional treatment to eradicate. Fleas can carry and transmit several potential illnesses, including typhus and plague. Bird mites are part of the arthropod family and are extremely small and very mobile. They are parasites that feed on the blood of the birds nesting around your home.
Crawling insects encompass a wide range of pests and bugs. Some have wings but prefer to crawl, and others do not have wings. This category includes many of the pests mentioned within, adding spiders, lice, silverfish, centipedes, and millipedes.
We begin with a full inspection confirming the infestation of bedbugs and the scope of their activity. We do this to rule out a misreported flea or tick infestation (we can take care of that, too!). We provide prep sheets that must be followed before the arrival of our technicians. While time-consuming on both our end and the customer, it ensures success in removing and treating the bedbugs.
Ticks and mosquitos thrive in the summer months in New York and New England. Exposure to them can present a risk of infection or disease such as West Nile and Lyme Disease. We offer green and organic products in addition to granular and fogging applications for ticks and mosquitoes. Treatments on a consistent and regular basis are critical for success.
