littleton spider control

Venomous or not, spiders are one of the most feared pests commonly found in homes. From wolf spiders to hobo spiders to black widow spiders to brown recluse spiders to house spiders, these pests are never welcome guests.

Without professional pest control, keeping spiders out of your home is very difficult to do. These critters have no trouble finding openings into your house and making themselves feel right at home.

Spiders are drawn to houses that can provide:

  • Shelter: Spiders escape extreme weather conditions by hiding away in dark corners, basements, crawlspaces, and attics.
  • Mates: During mating season, males will enter your home in search of mates.
  • Food: Other pests are spiders’ main source of food, so they will come into a home if they know there are plenty of other pests there.

Regardless of what kind of spiders you’re seeing around your home or business, we can take care of them for you!

Black Widows

Easily recognizable by the red hourglass shape on their bellies, black widows are a feared spider among many. While their bites don’t often cause death, their venom is 15 times stronger than that of a rattlesnake, making them quite dangerous. Symptoms of a black widow bite include nausea, paralysis of the diaphragm, and muscle aches.

Black widows survive off other pests and insects such as:

Black widows prefer to hide away in dark, dry, man-made structures such as barns, decks, outhouses, sheds, woodpiles, and more. Inside a home, they are commonly found in dimly lit crawl spaces, garages, and basements.

Hobo Spiders

The Hobo spider hitched rides with humans along Pacific Northwest highways to distribute itself in 6 American states. Hobo spiders are aggressive house spiders that are quite difficult to identify due to the similarities they share with other spiders. They love to hide in dark, moist spaces—such as basements and crawl spaces—and are often found in holes, cracks, and crevices. Hobo spiders are not great at climbing, so you will almost always find them underground.

In order to prevent hobo spiders in your home:

  • Seal common entry points such as cracks along the foundation
  • Replace all window screens that have holes
  • Clear away clutter from basement or garage
  • Avoid storing shoes on the floor
  • Keep basement dry

littleton wasp removal

During late summer and early fall, wasps come out in full force as they search for food to sustain themselves through winter. While they typically do not sting unless they are provoked, having a wasp colony near your home can be incredibly unsafe for you and your family, particularly for those who are allergic to wasps. Unlike bees, wasps can sting over and over again thanks to their smooth stingers.

Wasps like residential neighborhoods for the wide variety of potential nest locations they provide. If these pests choose your home or yard to build their nest, give us a call today and we’ll be happy to take them out for you!

To keep wasps away, you should:

  • Avoid leaving meat or sweet drinks sitting outside
  • Keep your trashcans sealed up
  • Keep your doors and windows shut
  • Don’t leave trash lying around
  • Cover or fill any holes in the ground

If you discover a wasp nest on your property, it is best to reach out to a professional pest control team right away.

littleton, co termite control

Costing billions of dollars’ worth of damage each year, termites are every homeowner’s worst nightmare. Since they are often hidden away within the structure of a home, they can be there for years before a homeowner finally discovers them. The three types of termites are subterranean, drywood, and dampwood. All in search of wood, termites have the potential to cause extensive, irreversible damage to your home.

Things that attract termites include:

  • Excess foliage
  • Piles of wood
  • Dead or decaying trees
  • Mulch
  • Cellulose material
  • Clogged gutters
  • Warm, dark places
  • Moist soil

If you notice winged ants, mud tubes, wings that have been shed, or structural damage to your home, you might be facing a termite infestation.

carpenter ant control

Carpenter ants are the largest ant species in North America. You should have no trouble spotting them if they have taken up residence on your property. They prefer to make their homes in damp, rotting wood so you’ll often see them in and around Englewood homes near water sources like the South Platte River.

Carpenter ants don’t eat the wood like termites do but they still create nests and connecting tunnels in it, which can weaken the structure of your home over time.

These destructive ants are one of more than 30 common Colorado pests that we cover on our year-round Pest Free Guarantee™ service.

rat removal in littleton

Rats are one of the most dreaded pests around. With the ability to squeeze through a hole as small as the size of a quarter and chew through glass, cinderblock, wire, and aluminum, rats have no problem making their way into homes.

They can potentially wreak tons of havoc on a home by:

  • Contaminating food by eating it, urinating on it, and leaving droppings on it
  • Spreading diseases and bacteria throughout a home
  • Chewing through wires, which can start a fire
  • Chewing through the structure of a home

In order to keep these pests away, seal any holes or cracks along the foundation of your home, store food in airtight containers, keep your home clean, and keep all storage areas dry and clean.

mice removal in littleton

Mice are common in Englewood as well, as they are in many cities across the country. When the temperature drops in the winter, they come inside seeking warmth and food. Once they get in, it can be difficult to get rid of them since they breed so quickly!

To keep mice out of your home, you should:

  • Seal any holes along the foundation of your home
  • Never leave food out
  • Empty your kitchen trash cans often
  • Keep your home clean and free of clutter
  • Keep storage areas organized, clean, and dry

 

littleton cockroach control

Cockroaches are common in Littleton, just like they are in pretty much any other city in the United States and around the world. These undesirable critters can track bacteria and diseases into your home, including both Salmonella and Dysentery.

Cockroaches prefer dark, damp hideouts so they are tough to see. If you do see one, it is very likely that there are many more that you don’t see. Cockroaches need food and water, just like any other pest. A great way to minimize your chances of a roast infestation is to not leave out anything they can eat (including things like dog food).

carpenter ant control in littleton

Carpenter ants are large and black, making them easy to spot if they set up home in or around your house. Unfortunately, they don’t always stay outside. They make their homes in wood, particularly damp or rotting wood, so they can cause serious damage to your home if they decide to set up a nest in it! Although they don’t eat the wood, they do build tunnels and nests within it, which can cause the wood to crack or rot even further.

We often see these destructive ants in homes near wooded areas like Writers Vista Park, though they can be found in other areas as well. We cover carpenter ants and 30+ other common Colorado pests on our popular, year-round Pest Free Guarantee™ service.
