Midnight Intruders

Bed bugs are small, flat, reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed. They feed on human and animal blood, usually at night while you sleep. Though they don’t fly, they’re excellent at hiding and can quickly spread through a home or building.

Where They’re Found

Mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and headboards.

Cracks and crevices in walls and furniture.

Luggage, clothing, and second-hand furniture are common ways they’re introduced.

How We Treat Bed Bugs

Detailed inspection to locate all hiding spots.

Follow-up visits to ensure the infestation is fully eradicated.

Professional-grade treatments that reach deep into cracks and crevices.

The Hidden Invaders

Mice and rats are among the most common — and destructive — household pests. Both are rodents, but rats are larger, with long, thick tails, while mice are smaller with proportionally bigger ears and finer features. Both can squeeze through tiny openings and reproduce quickly, making infestations escalate fast if not addressed.

Where They’re Found

Kitchens, pantries, and food storage areas.

Inside walls, ceilings, basements, and attics.

Around garbage bins, crawl spaces, and utility lines.

Signs of Infestation

Scratching or scurrying noises, especially at night.

Grease marks or trails along walls and floors.

Sightings of live or dead rodents, often a sign of a larger hidden population.

The Resilient Invaders

Cockroaches are hardy, fast-moving insects known for their ability to survive in even the cleanest environments. Usually brown or black, with long antennae and flat, oval-shaped bodies, they thrive in warm, dark, and damp spaces and are mostly active at night.

Risks

Produce a foul, musty odor in areas of heavy infestation.

Fast breeders — even a few cockroaches can turn into an infestation quickly.

Spread bacteria, viruses, and allergens that can trigger asthma and other health issues.

Contaminate food, utensils, and surfaces with droppings and shed skin.

Signs of Infestation

Live or dead roaches, especially at night.

Small dark droppings or smears on surfaces.

Shed skins and egg cases hidden in corners or behind appliances.

Musty or oily odor in heavily infested areas.

Survivors in the Shadows

Termites are small, pale insects that live in large colonies and feed on wood, paper, and other cellulose materials. Often mistaken for ants, termites can go undetected for months or even years while quietly causing extensive structural damage to homes and buildings.

Risks

Cause severe damage to wood framing, floors, walls, and furniture.

Damage can compromise the structural integrity of a building.

Repairs from termite infestations can cost thousands if not caught early.

Termites work silently and out of sight, making early detection difficult.

Where They’re Found

In soil around and beneath foundations.

Inside wooden beams, floors, and walls.

In crawl spaces, basements, and attics.

Swarming near windows and doors during mating season.

Simple Steps to Stay Pest-Free

Preventing pests is simpler and more affordable than dealing with an infestation. Start by sealing cracks, gaps, and holes around your home or business to block entry. Keep indoor and outdoor areas clean, store food properly, and dispose of trash regularly to remove food sources.
Fix leaks, eliminate standing water, and keep humidity low to discourage moisture-loving pests. Outdoors, trim overgrown plants, clear debris, and keep firewood away from the building to reduce hiding spots.
Even with prevention, pests can still find a way in — so regular inspections from a professional help catch problems early and keep your property protected year-round.
