Pest Facts and Information
Not all insects are pests, and not all pests are insects. Pests are essentially any organism that creates a nuisance, causes destruction, or spreads disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and other germs.
Common examples include bugs like mosquitoes and ants, rodents like mice and rats, and nuisance wildlife like skunks and squirrels. For homes and businesses in parts of Upstate New York and Western Massachusetts, various pests can wreak havoc on properties.
In addition to common household pests like rats, cockroaches, bed bugs, and hornets, another class of pests are occasional invaders. Examples include boxelder bugs, centipedes, earwigs, and ladybugs — all of which can become a significant nuisance on residential and commercial properties.
However, gathering pest information and understanding what attracts these critters is only part of the solution. Partnering with a professional pest control company can help you quickly and effectively regain control over whatever pests are plaguing your home or business.
