Household Pest Threats

Pests are more than annoying; they can pose serious risks to your health and property. Certified's extensive training and advanced technology focus on attacking any pests already in your home and breaking the pest lifecycle to help control unwanted invaders in the future.

COMMON PESTS

  • Ants

 On the hunt for food, a single ant can lead the way for the entire colony to invade your home. The best to control the problem is to find the nest and remove the queen.           

  • Cockroaches

 Cockroaches can spread germs, make allergies worse and multiply at a record-breaking speed.

  • Termites

 More homes are damaged by termites each year than by fire.

  • Flies 

    Find out how flies carry more than 100 pathogens that can cause dangerous diseases in humans and animals, such as typhoid, polio and tuberculosis--and how to control these pests

  • Rodents 

    Because rodents multiply so quickly, just a few can lead to an out-of-control infestation before you know it.

  • Spiders 

    Not only are their webs a nuisance around the house, but spiders can inflict painful, sometimes dangerous bites.

  • Mosquitoes

    The threat of mosquito-borne diseases could affect your family and pets.

  • Silverfish

    Found in areas of high humidity, silverfish eat through paper and other items with high starch content.

  • Fleas

    Fleas feed on human blood through small bites in the skin. They can jump from your carpet up to your ankles and calves, and a female flea can produce up to 800 eggs during her lifetime.

  • Ticks

    Ticks carry many serious diseases, including Lyme disease, encephalitis and typhus. They can live for over 500 days without a meal.

  • Carpenter Bee

     The Carpenter Bee is a wood destroying insect usually seen in the spring time. They make holes the size of a dime in facia  boards and wood around the home. The real damage is unseen inside the wood members.

  • Crickets

    House crickets can damage silk, woolens, paper, fruits and vegetables. They can eat almost anything available.

  • Moths

    Female moths can lay up to 200 eggs, and moth larvae feed on wool fabric and fur, doing damage to valuable clothing items.

  • Carpenter Ants 

    Carpenter ants cut "galleries" into the wood in your home. Colonies can contain up to 50,000 workers, and infestations are very difficult to control. Carpenter ants may also be mistaken for termites.

  • Other 

    Depending on where you live, pests such as pill bugs, centipedes and scorpions can invade your home.
