Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most adaptable and successful insects. They can infest any type of structure from homes to commercial establishments. While cockroaches are mostly a nuisance, they are capable of carrying disease-spreading pathogens and have been shown to cause allergic reactions and contribute to asthma problems.

Beetles - Powder Post

Powder post beetles lay their eggs in cracks of wood and the larvae tunnel into the surface, filling it with a very fine powder-like dust. Powder post beetles have long, narrow, flat bodies that allow them to easily attack wood surfaces. These beetles are reddish-brown in colour. Adult powder post beetles are very active at night, enjoy flying and are attracted to the light. Powder post beetles often attack hardwoods, and can be found in hardwood floors, timbers and crates, antiques and other objects made of hardwood materials. Some researchers believe that powder post beetles are second only to termites in the United States in their destructiveness to wood and wood products

Birds

Many species of birds can become a problem on your property. Their nests, noise and feces can easily become more than a nuisance. Birds tend to be very resistant to leaving an established home, and can prove to be difficult to manage.

Box Elder Bugs

These bugs are about ½ inch long and are brownish black with red markings on the thorax and wings. The immature stages are colored red with reduced wings. Box Elder Bugs are commonly found on trees of the maple family. They often gather in large numbers in the spring and fall.

Cluster Flies

Flies are extremely common and can be found one to a few at a time in homes or businesses during the warm spring and fall months. They are attracted to buildings by food odors and also warm air currents escaping through cracks around doors and windows or through doors propped open for ventilation purposes.

Drain Flies

Adult drain flies are small, fuzzy, dark colored insects with the body and wings densely covered with hairs. Their wings appear large for their body, are held roof like over the body when at rest, giving them a moth like appearance. They are weak fliers and fly only a few feet at a time. Larvae are legless, about 3/8 inches long, wormlike and gray, with both ends somewhat darker.
