Identification comes before treatment.

FIND YOUR PEST

Start with what you’re seeing.

Choose a guide for identification clues, common hiding places, and treatment options. Photos show examples; species and life stages can look different.

Trails across a counter, activity near the foundation, or larger ants around wood. Learn how identification, nesting sites, and the conditions around your home guide the next step.

Dark spotting, shed skins, or bugs near beds and furniture deserve a closer look. Bites alone cannot confirm bed bugs. See what to check before deciding on treatment.

Black bugs with red-orange markings often gather on sunny siding and around windows. Learn about seasonal activity, entry points, and what effective control can realistically do.

Tiny jumping insects in carpets, bedding, or pet resting areas can point to fleas. Learn how identification, preparation, and treating the right areas work together.

Droppings, gnaw marks, or scratching in a wall call for an inspection. Explore trapping, exclusion, and monitored bait stations, with a plan based on where rodents are active.

Earwigs, seed bugs, beetles, and other insects sometimes find their way indoors. Start here if the pest does not fit another category. The photo shows an earwig.

Webs under eaves, activity in garages, or spiders turning up indoors. Learn about identification, web removal, and the conditions around a home that can support repeat activity.

Unexplained wood damage, discarded wings, or suspected termite activity needs a closer look. Learn the signs, how termites differ from ants, and when a separate inspection makes sense.

Repeated flights to an eave, shed, or ground opening can reveal a nesting area. Learn what to watch for from a distance and how nest location affects treatment.

NOT SURE WHAT IT IS?

A few details go a long way.

You do not need to know the pest’s name before you call. Here is what helps us get started.

01

Get a clear photo

Photograph the pest from above and the side if you can. Keep your distance from nests and avoid handling unfamiliar pests.

02

Note where you found it

A window, mattress seam, crawlspace, or woodpile gives us different clues. Tell us the exact spot and whether it was indoors or outside.

03

Tell us what changed

When did it start? Are you seeing one pest or repeated activity? Those details help us decide what to inspect next.
