Common Pests: Identifying and Eliminating the Intruders

Pest infestations can turn your peaceful living or working spaces into battlegrounds. At Power House Pest Control, we’ve encountered a wide array of pests over the years, each with its unique characteristics and challenges. Here, we shed light on some of the most common pests we’ve encountered and how our expert pest control services can help you reclaim your space.

**1. Ants: The Persistent Foragers

• Characteristics: Ants are highly social insects that form colonies. They are expert foragers and can quickly become a nuisance when they invade homes or businesses in search of food and water.
• Risks: While most ants are not a direct health threat, some can contaminate food. Certain ant species, like carpenter ants, can cause structural damage by tunneling through wood.
• Our Approach: We identify the ant species and their entry points, then implement targeted treatments to eliminate the colony and prevent future incursions.

**2. Rodents: The Stealthy Invaders

• Characteristics: Rats and mice are known for their agility and ability to squeeze through tiny openings. They can reproduce rapidly, leading to a serious infestation in no time.
• Risks: Rodents carry diseases, contaminate food, and can cause structural damage by gnawing on wires and insulation.
• Our Approach: We conduct thorough inspections, set up traps and bait stations, and provide recommendations for sealing entry points to keep rodents out.

**3. Cockroaches: The Resilient Survivors

• Characteristics: Cockroaches are nocturnal and can adapt to a wide range of environments. They’re known for their resilience and ability to hide in cracks and crevices.
• Risks: Cockroaches can transmit diseases, trigger allergies, and damage property by feeding on various materials.
• Our Approach: We use a combination of treatments, including baits and sprays, to eliminate cockroach infestations. Additionally, we advise on preventive measures.

**4. Termites: The Silent Destroyers

• Characteristics: Termites are often called “silent destroyers” because they can go unnoticed for years while causing extensive structural damage.
• Risks: Termites feed on cellulose-based materials, primarily wood, and can weaken the integrity of buildings.
• Our Approach: We perform detailed termite inspections and employ a variety of methods, including bait systems and liquid treatments, to eliminate termites and protect your property.

**5. Spiders: The Unwanted Weavers

• Characteristics: Spiders are common in many environments. While most are harmless, some species can deliver painful bites.
• Risks: Spider bites can cause discomfort, and certain venomous species can pose health risks.
• Our Approach: We identify spider species and provide targeted treatments to remove them from your space.
