The Most Common Pests Found by Pest Control Services

Pest control companies remain a popular option for eliminating pests. Many homeowners contact these companies because they think there may be an infestation. Other times, experts encounter pests that homeowners had no clue about. This article will cover the most common pests that pest control services encounter nationwide.

Spiders

According to Forbes, spiders are the most common pest nationwide. It’s easy to miss spiders creating a habitat in your house because they prefer areas where they won’t be disturbed. A spider is unlikely to make your kitchen its new home; instead, they hang out in damp basements, where most homeowners don’t go. You’ll also likely find plenty of cobwebs in your attic.

Cockroaches

Roaches are another surprisingly common pest that most people don’t know they have until a severe infestation becomes obvious. Cockroaches can hide inside walls and appliances to remain out of sight and often only come out at night when people sleep. Seeing coffee grounds is a surefire indication of a roach infestation.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs can be sneaky, like roaches and spiders, as they only come out of their nest to feed, usually when people sleep. This means most people do not know they have an infestation. Pest control services are well aware of the familiar places bed bugs hide and how to spot the signs of an infestation. These pests can be challenging to eliminate, making it necessary to contact professionals.

Mice

Mice are a common rodent found in residential and commercial buildings. Many mice seek a warm place to call home during the cold winter months to survive more easily. A house provides food, shelter, and warmth. This makes them one of the most common rodents found during the winter in northern areas, based on our experience. Mice multiply quickly, meaning that one or two can quickly turn into a full-blown infestation.

Ants

Ants are more prevalent in warmer months, based on our experience. They don’t hide the same way other pests do, but multiply quickly, making infestation challenging. Ants will slowly infiltrate every area of your house, living in the walls, cabinets, and everywhere else. Experienced pest control services can help eliminate these pests.
