How to Get Rid of Common Pest Problems 
                     8Pests 
That Invade 
Homes 
1.
Pest problems tend to come with a lot of stress. 
You'll feel anxious about your family’s health 
if you find evidence of bed bugs in a room.
2.
If you own a business, you’d be terrified 
of what would happen if a customer spots 
a rat or a cockroach. 
Despite all of the stigma, pest control issues 
are common among all property owners.
3.
At some point, everyone has to deal with 
some type of critter or insect using their 
property as a home. 
The most important thing is knowing how 
to get rid of those pesky bugs and rodents 
when they come.
4.
Identify the Type 
of Pests On 
Your Property
5.
The difference between a flea and a bed bug 
might be hard to see with an untrained eye. 
Knowing which type of insect you are dealing 
with is critical, since each type might need 
a different treatment. 
6.
You’ll also want to make sure that there aren’t 
additional problems that you aren’t aware of. 
A sudden spider problem could be a sign that 
you’ve got a steady food supply of insects that 
are attracting them to your property. 
7.
Determine 
How Far the 
Issue Extends
8.
It is possible for a mouse to only hang out 
in your garage, but it is more likely that 
the problem extends to other rooms. 
During a professional pest inspection, a technician 
will check all of the known insect and animal 
hideouts to identify which ones might be lurking 
on your property. 
9.
They’ll also let you know where they find the 
problems, along with whether or not you need 
to prepare for repairing any damage.
10.
Clean Up Clutter 
and Debris
11.
Having a cockroach or ant invasion doesn’t 
mean that you aren’t good at keeping your home 
or business building clean. 
You can be a stringent housekeeper 
and still find nuisances arriving on your property. 
12.
Still, it helps to do a little cleaning up after you 
arrange for treatment. 
Picking up indoor clutter and outdoor lawn debris 
helps the spray to get where it will have the most 
impact on pests. 
13.
You’ll also get a head start on preventing future 
problems by clearing out potential nesting places.
14.
Avoid Relying 
On DIY 
Remedies
15.
Those sprays and powders you see on store 
shelves may proclaim to be powerful, and they 
might very well be. 
Unfortunately, using them wrong could harm 
your pets, family or even yourself.
16.
Inappropriate use can also cause the insects 
or rodents to spread.
 Ants often scatter in response to sprays. 
If you don’t hit them all, then you could discover 
the problem just got bigger.
17.
Plan for 
Long-Term 
Pest Control
18.
The majority of pests prefer to stay out of sight. 
By the time you see them, you are likely 
already dealing with a serious problem. 
19.
Regular spraying takes the worry out 
of your prevention plan. 
When our technicians come out on a regular 
basis, they’ll look for common problems while 
they are on your property.
20.
They can also advise you of any potential 
risks that you need to be aware of during 
seasonal changes.

we’ve seen it all.
21.
Our technicians are trained to handle infestations 
with a compassionate approach to humans while 
launching a strong attack on the specific insects 
or animals that they find at your home or business. 
22.

resolved, getting a handle on it now means you’ll 
stop stressing and get back to living comfortably.
