Identify Pests with Our Pest Guide

It is important to accurately identify the pests before an effective pest control. That’s why we have created this informative pest guide for you!

Almost every pest species look different as they go through their life cycles. For example, an immature housefly and mosquito may look like worms. Because of this, even pests are mistaken as non-pests, and you may ignore their presence.

Follow this guide for an accurate pest identification and you may find out that your “pest” is actually a beneficial organism.

Let’s begin:

Stinging Insects

Insects like wasp and bees send more than 500,000 people to the ER (Emergency Room) each year. These stinging pests are quite active during the second half of summer and the early fall when their colonies collect food that helps their queens to sustain during the winter.

If you notice a swarm or flying insect nest on your property, immediately contact one of the best pest control companies near you.

Rodents

Rodents are very destructive and difficult to keep out of structures. Did you know? Mice can easily squeeze through small cracks and dimes. Rats can easily fit and crawl through holes the size of a quarter.

After a rodent pest identification, seal any cracks and voids around your property. If you notice any signs of a rodent menace, immediately call a rodent exterminator for the best course of rodent control treatment.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are little vampires that love to feed on your blood and may mess up with your sleep. They are present at almost every place where you may like to go including your room at home, restaurants, hotels, schools, offices, and even public transportation.

If you notice any signs of bed bugs, contact a professional pest exterminator. Remember, bed bugs love to hide in small cracks and crevices close to a human environment during daylight. These little vampires commonly hunt at night!

Cockroaches

Cockroaches have been long despised by the human kind due to their scary appearance. These haunting insects are known to cause allergic reactions and they can trigger asthma attacks. A cockroach can carry and spread nearly 33 kinds of bacteria including Salmonella and E. coli.

You can commonly spot a cockroach in your kitchen or bathroom at night. If you notice any signs of a cockroach infestation, immediately contact a cockroach exterminator to get rid of them.

These were some of the pests that can be identified with help of this pest guide. Prevention and pest extermination is always better than paying the medical bills.
