When it comes to pests, there are few creatures that bug us as much as roaches. The mere sight of a roach scurrying across our floors is enough to make us jump, not to mention the fact that they can contaminate our food, spread salmonella and other harmful bacteria, contribute to allergies and destroy paper and textile products. Roaches are highly adaptive, making them extremely difficult for homeowners to deal with on their own. The pros at ABC apply their extensive knowledge of pest behavior to find cockroach hiding spots and apply effective treatments to avoid future close encounters with these creatures.

Mosquitoes proliferate in wet areas, making communities along the coast particularly susceptible to large numbers of these pesky pests. In particular, inland areas which experience lowland flooding are places you can find species which transmit serious illnesses, including the Zika and West Nile viruses. During the warmer months of the year, it can be nearly impossible to spend time outside without constantly swatting these bloodsucking insects away. ABCs knowledgeable technicians can target nesting and breeding spots to help you reduce mosquito populations so you can enjoy spending time in the outdoors.

A trend we have seen in recent years is the resurgence of bed bugs as a public health issue. Experts suggest that an increase in travel patterns has contributed to homeowners increasingly reporting problems with this microscopic pest. As the name suggests, bed bugs often attack humans while we are asleep, although they can feed at any time of day. Bites are itchy and can cause skin irritation, and the bugs often retreat into the narrowest of hiding spots before we wake up, making them extremely hard to eliminate. The good news is that ABC can offer specialized, targeted treatments to get rid of both the adult bed bugs and their eggs so you can take care of the problem before the pests have a chance to proliferate.

Whats the one pest which can pose the biggest threat to your biggest investmentyour home? Termites. These social insects live in colonies which have up to a million members and arrive at your house through an underground tunnel, which means they can do significant damage to your foundation before you even realize there is a problem. Termites survive on cellulose, which is the building block of wood, so you are less likely to see these pests out in the open and more likely to find them out of sight in a wall cavity. Regardless of where the termites are holed up in your home, ABCs termite experts will find them and eliminate the entire colony before applying treatment underneath the soil in a perimeter around your home to prevent any future infestations.

While some pests are microscopic, others can be much larger: rats, mice, raccoons, opossums and even birds and squirrels, when they nest in places youd rather they didnt. These animals can chew through electrical wiring, knock over trash containers, contaminate food and leave behind droppings and other materials that pose a health concern. To make matters even worse, smaller pests can hitch a ride on the fur of these pests, so you could be dealing with other pest problems as well if these animals make their way into your attic, crawl spaces, garage and other areas on your property. ABCs wildlife specialists first will humanely trap and relocate these animals to a more suitable living environment. We will then seal any openings to prevent any future uninvited houseguests.

We are all very familiar with ants, and most of us have experienced the painful sensation of a fire ant bite. Other ant species can contaminate food and tunnel through wood. ABCs pest professionals can troubleshoot any ant problems you are having, indoors or outside, and come up with a customized treatment plan to keep your ant population under control and to protect your family from fire ant bites.

Fleas and ticks are not only a problem for the human members of our household, but also for our pets. These parasitic insects can be difficult for homeowners to control on their own because infestations tend to happen both inside and outside simultaneously. In addition, treatments can be less effective at different stages of these creatures life cycles. Flea bites may only serve to aggravate us, but our dogs and cats can be made quite miserable if they contract flea bite dermatitis. Ticks can spread illnesses to both humans and animals, including Lyme disease. ABCs experts can target each species and provide you with effective treatment plans to make these problems a thing of the past.

Its not uncommon to run across a spider or scorpion while we are out in the garden, sorting through our garage or getting linens out of the back closet. Few homeowners know which spiders and scorpions to avoid and what you can do to prevent having any run-ins with these creatures. ABCs pros can identify the spider and scorpion species in your home, handle any infestations you might have and suggest ways to avoid future close encounters.
