Five Categories Of Special Pests

Bugs can be persistent.

We know what we’re talking about. We are experienced at dealing with these types of insect infestations everywhere around Birmingham, AL. (People know that! We’ve got the awards and accolades to prove it.)

We've heard from a lot of homeowners and business owners about how tenacious insects can be, and how troubling their arrival might be for property owners. We think about that when we go out to every house with a plan to set up something proactive and give these worried people peace of mind.

We define “special pests” as a situation where there's a particular challenge in exterminating and remediating these pests from a building.

Here are some common categories of special pests that we can handle!

Ants

Ants are industrious, and they are populous, to put it one way. In other words: there are often a LOT of them. Thousands, not hundreds.

That’s part of the problem when it comes to remediating ants from a property. It's not going to be possible to try to deal with every one of them individually.

However, there are best practices based on research and design that can help you to remove ants from your property. Ask us about how this works.

Flies

Flies are another major pest that people want to completely eliminate from an indoor area.

Whether it's a restaurant or a home, when people are preparing food and eating in a space, they don't want flies around.

But flies can be persistent, too, and require some particular professional pest control methods beyond just flypaper or a swatter.

Fleas

These little pests are difficult to remediate, partly because they’re hard to see. You can feel them, though!

They also populate pretty quickly.

When it comes to fleas, the culprit is usually an animal that has tracked them into a property that has carpet or someplace where fleas can stay and breed.

Some of the professional techniques for fleas involve monitoring and detection. We can talk in more detail about this with our local Birmingham clients. Whether you’re trying to remediate a rental, or it’s your own home, we get you there.

Ticks

Part of the reason that people are scared of these insects is that they're bad for your health!

Lyme disease can be a devastating illness if not caught early.

That leads to concern about ticks in a home or business space.

The remediation may be simpler than with some of these other special pests, but it might require getting professionals on the scene. That’s where we come in.

Bees

This is a different type of special pest, where people are worried about a more immediate and direct injury.

Simply put, bee stings hurt. These insects also often nest close to a property, and that requires a particular approach to getting rid of them.
