Ants
Carpenter, odorous house, and pavement ants are among the most common home invaders in NY and NJ.
Bed Bugs
Tiny blood-feeders that hide in mattresses, furniture, and wall voids — and spread fast.
Bees & Wasps
Yellow jackets, hornets, and bald-faced hornets nest in eaves, attics, and underground.
Cockroaches
German, American, and Oriental cockroaches contaminate food and trigger asthma.
Fleas
Fleas infest pets and homes quickly; breaking the lifecycle requires targeted treatment.
Mice
House mice gnaw wiring, contaminate food, and can squeeze through a dime-sized gap.
Rats
Norway rats burrow around foundations and are common in dense suburban and urban areas.
Mosquitoes
Disease-carrying mosquitoes breed in standing water; barrier programs reduce populations significantly.
Ticks
Deer ticks carry Lyme disease; lone star ticks are also common across Westchester and Bergen County.
Termites
Subterranean termites silently destroy structural wood — often for years before detection.
Spiders
Most house spiders are harmless, but large populations inside signal an underlying pest issue.
Silverfish
Silverfish damage books, wallpaper, and clothing — they thrive in humid basements and bathrooms.
Water Bugs
Often confused with cockroaches, true water bugs require different control strategies.
Earwigs
Earwigs enter homes through foundation gaps and prefer damp areas like bathrooms and basements.
Crickets
House crickets are attracted to warmth and light; large numbers indoors signal entry-point issues.
Moths
Clothes moths damage wool and natural fibers; pantry moths infest stored grains and cereals.
Carpet Beetles
Carpet beetle larvae damage wool rugs, upholstery, and stored natural fiber items.
Flies
House flies, fruit flies, and drain flies each require different treatment approaches.
