Pests & Rodents
Ants
Ants will invade homes and businesses in the spring of the year and are commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms.
Treatment
Treatment begins with an inspection to find nests and trails. Applications are made to the exterior of the home and to infested areas of the home’s interior.
Spiders
It seems no building is exempt from having spider problems but lake homes and cabins tend to feel the pain worse than others.
Treatment
Applications can be made to the interior and exterior of the building. One tip is to schedule your treatment before you wash your windows.
Roaches
The German Cockroach can be found typically in kitchens and bathrooms of home and businesses, especially at night.
Treatment
Directly treating the nest is essential and can usually be done from the exterior of the building. Do not seal the entrance hole.
Wasps
Wasps build nests inside wall voids and soffits from branches of trees.
Treatment
Directly treating the nest is essential and can usually be done from the exterior of the building. Do not seal the entrance of the hole.
Centipedes
These are usually found outdoors, near foundations and prefer damp, dark, moist conditions with decaying vegetation.
Treatment
Treatment consists of making an application to the basement as well as treating the exterior perimeter of the building.
Asian Lady Beetles
Asian Lady Beetles will invade homes and businesses in the fall of the year and will find their way into the interior of the home for the rest of the winter.
Treatment
One application is made to the entire exterior of the building and best when made early or at the first sign of activity.
Boxelder Bugs
Boxelder Bugs will invade homes and businesses, usually around the end of September. They gain access to buildings through gaps in the siding and soffit.
Treatment
Applications are made to the entire exterior of the building and have the best results when made early, typically September 1–October 1.
Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs were once nearly eliminated from our country in the 1940’s but have come back with a vengeance. Typically, bedbugs are found near beds.
Treatment
Heat treatment or fumigation are the two best options for complete control. Chemical-only applications can be made but are not guaranteed.
Mice
Mice are able to enter a building through an opening as big around as a pencil and usually invade in late fall.
Treatment
Treatment begins with a thorough inspection to locate and seal rodent openings, followed by extensive trapping to eliminate populations. Baits should only be used in extreme circumstances to avoid odor issues.
Rats
Rats are usually found near the exterior of buildings but can sometimes find entry into the interior of homes and businesses.
Treatment
Extensive trapping is the best option to eliminate population but tracking powder may be used where labels allow.
