The 5 Most Common Pests Exterminators Work With

Oct 30, 2023

Pests in your home or yard are a serious issue and should be taken seriously. Calling local exterminators can protect you and your family and ensure everyone stays safe. After all, according to the CDC, about 100 people die every year because of stings by bees and wasps! While these stinging pests are common, there are other creatures you may need to call an exterminator for. Keep reading to learn more about a few of these common nuisances.

1. Spiders

Spiders are mostly harmless, but most people don’t want them in their homes. After all, they build nests and can even bite you if they feel threatened. Even worse, some (like black widows and brown recluse spiders) are very poisonous. Call an exterminator to keep your home safe from these eight-legged critters!

2. Bees/Wasps

Getting rid of bees and wasps in your home or yard can be life-saving. If anyone in your family has an allergy to these pests, exterminators can get rid of them to protect your loved ones. Even if you don’t have allergies, getting them out of your home and yard can prevent needless sting injuries.

3. Carpenter Ants/Termites

These pests aren’t particularly dangerous to you or your family. Instead, they tend to cause a lot of problems with a home by eating its wooden structures. If any sections of your house fail as a result of this damage, then your family is at risk. Thankfully, local exterminators can help reduce your risk and keep you safe.

4. Cockroaches

Cockroaches are some of the hardiest insects alive and breed faster than rabbits. If you ever see one, that probably means you have hundreds or more in your house. Talking to an exterminator right away will help manage them. You should keep in mind that cockroaches can spread disease and may even bite people if they get hungry!

5. Ants

Most ants typically don’t bite people or cause serious damage to a home, though they may crawl through some parts of it to make nests. That said, they can spread rapidly and may get into your food, drinks, and even your clothes. They’re annoying and should be managed quickly to avoid complications.

Taking care of these pests with local exterminators is a smart way of keeping your family safe and avoiding long-term health problems. Just as importantly, it can ensure that your home doesn’t get damaged, as many pests will eat through and destroy your home's structure.
