Birds
There is nothing more peaceful than seeing birds gliding through the air. However, their sweet nature can be short-lived when they decide to make your home or yard into a roosting or nesting spot. While many birds will cause us no problems and nest quietly in our yards in trees or shrubs, others are destructive, dangerous, and annoying.

Cockroaches
Cockroaches are scavenging pests that will take advantage of any indoor or outdoor space that offers them food, water, and shelter. Ease of movement coupled with their prolific breeding habits mean that cockroaches can invade in large numbers, making them a tricky pest to prevent and eliminate.

Fleas & Ticks
Fleas and ticks usually become a problem in our homes after hitchhiking a ride inside on people, pets, or wild animals like mice that have moved indoors to nest. Once inside, it is typically only fleas that can develop large populations; most ticks cannot reproduce indoors.

Gophers, moles, and voles are tunneling pests that live in and feed on our lawns, gardens, and landscaping plants. Their feeding habits can cause extensive and unsightly damage that can be time-consuming and expensive to replace.

Occasional Invaders
The presence of occasional invaders is problematic because while they might not be dangerous if they find a way into your home, other pests that are potentially dangerous and destructive will have a way inside also. Though occasional invaders aren’t usually a significant threat, they still should not be living in our homes.

Rodents
Rodents are a type of mammal and are primarily nocturnal, resting during the day at their nesting sites and moving around during the evening hours foraging for food. All rodents have continuously growing front incisors. Their sharp front teeth are responsible for much of the damage these pests cause in and around our homes!

Spiders
Spiders tend to be favored by gardeners and farmers because they help to reduce populations of insects that feed on and damage their crops and plants. But, when they live near or in our homes, spiders and their fast movement tend to startle people, making them unwanted pests.

Stinging Insects
If you have ever been at the receiving end of a sting from a hornet or wasp, you know how painful and unpleasant the experience can be! Sharing your property with these pests is problematic, and you should have any nests removed quickly so you and your family can enjoy your yard to its fullest potential!

Termites
Termites are one of the most destructive pests that homeowners have to deal with. They move into our homes and businesses without our knowledge and work day and night for months or years, feeding on and destroying the wood within. Though they are tiny in size, you can believe the hype that comes with these pests.
