Pests

Some of the most common pests we treat include:

Roaches
Roaches are a health hazard, carrying bacteria on their bodies that can be transmitted to people. The main diseases transmitted are different forms of gastroenteritis including food poisoning, dysentery, and diarrhea. There are several species of cockroaches, but the most common in the United States are: American Cockroach, Smoky Brown Cockroach, Oriental Cockroach, Woods Cockroach, German Cockroach and the Brown Banded Cockroach.

Our expertly trained staff can advise you on your roach control needs.

Ants (including Fire Ants)
Most ant species are highly developed social insects that live in permanent nests, which depending on the species, may be in the soil, in timber, under pavers, in wall cavities or roof voids.

Ants may travel large distances in search of food. Even the cleanest of homes can provide a ready food source for ants which once found can invade in large numbers, such that professional help is required. Some inflict severe bites, but most are a nuisanse pest when they infest kitchens and BBQ areas in large numbers.

Rats - Mice
Rats have been known to cause electrical fires in buildings by gnawing through plastic electrical junction boxes. Rats must constantly gnaw on hard objects to cut back their constaly growing incisor teeth.

In addition, they live in the most unsanitary places, and are carriers of serious health risks to humans from their droppings and contstant incontinence (they use urine trails to find their way in the dark).

Fleas - Ticks
Fleas are a parasite which feed on the blood of warm blooded animals, including humans. They pierce the skin, inject an anti-coagulant chemical into the host to prevent blood clotting and suck out the blood some passing straight through their rectum in order to lay their eggs. A flea bite can cause acute irritation, infection and transfer of other parasites, such as, tapeworms.

Fleas often enter a building on dogs and cats, and are commonly deposited in carpeted areas, in the garden, yard and under the building.
