What is the best way to get rid of ants?
First you must identify the species because different species of ants have different nesting habits, food sources and ways to reproduce. Once you know the species, you know where to find their nests. Contact us for a FREE PEST IDENTIFICATION today.
If I see what looks like an ant with wings, is it a termite?
No, not necessarily. All of your ant species and termite species have what is known as swarmers (winged-adults) and their purpose is to mate and start new nests.
How do I know if I have termites?
The only way to know is to have an inspection by a certified pest control inspector annually. We can also install a termite monitoring system for added protection.
Do skunks, raccoons, possum and squirrels carry rabies?
Squirrels do not carry rabies because they are a rodent; however they gnaw constantly like other rodents and can cause considerable damage and fires. All others can carry rabies and should be avoided.
Can anything be done to protect our family from ticks and mosquitoes so we can enjoy our yard?
Yes, we have multiple programs depending on where your yard is situated and the landscape within. There is also a list of cultural practices we can provide to you that will help reduce populations of ticks and mosquitoes in your yard.
Do Bumble Bees sting?
Yes, if their nesting area is provoked, but don't confuse Bumble Bees with Carpenter Bees. Carpenter Bees come back to the same areas every year (especially if not treated) to lay their eggs in wood. They are very active in May and June when they are mating. The females drill tunnels through the wood to lay their eggs. They will damage the wood if not treated. Bumble Bees usually nest in the ground or in crawl spaces and are more active in August.
If I hear noises in my attic, what could it be?
Usually squirrels, rodents or bats will nest in attic areas. Trapping, relocation and exclusion are usually needed.
