Pests can pose serious health risks and cause significant damage to your property. Our team is equipped to deal with a variety of common household pests, including:
Ant infestations are a common nuisance for homeowners. Species like Argentine ants and carpenter ants invade homes in search of food and water. Carpenter ants can cause structural damage by burrowing into wood to build their nests.
Mice and rats are not only unsettling to encounter but also pose health risks through the diseases they carry. They can chew through wires, insulation, and other materials, leading to costly repairs.
Often referred to as “silent destroyers,” termites can compromise the structural integrity of your home without immediate detection. Subterranean termites are particularly prevalent and can cause extensive damage if not addressed promptly.
Bed bugs are notorious for their ability to disrupt sleep and cause itchy bites. They spread quickly and can be challenging to eliminate without professional intervention.
While many spiders are harmless, some species like the black widow and brown recluse can pose significant health risks. Spiders often enter homes seeking shelter and prey, leading to unwelcome encounters.
Cockroaches are resilient pests that can contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria. They can trigger allergies and asthma symptoms, particularly in children.
At 101 Exterminators, we follow a meticulous process to ensure effective pest elimination and long-term prevention.
Our technicians conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify the type of pests present, the extent of the infestation, and potential entry points. This step is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.
