What Are Some Common Pests?

Pests can change depending on the season. In Cheyenne, Wyoming, there are some common pests to keep an eye out for almost all year round. Here’s a list of the most common pest issues you need to stay on top of.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs live in mattresses and can be tricky to treat. They bite and feed on humans while they sleep, causing skin irritation and itching.

They are 4mm to 6mm, making them a bit difficult to spot on dark surfaces. Cleaning won’t make a difference to a bed bug infestation, an exterminator is the only way to stop them feeding on your family each night.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are rarely welcome houseguests. They aren’t dangerous in terms of bites or stings, but they do move from areas of bacteria – like dumpsters, dirty bathrooms, and yards full of dog feces.

Then they spread it around your kitchen, potentially contaminating food preparation areas. When you see telltale coffee-grind type feces in your house, call for residential pest control Cheyenne.

Mice and Rats

As you saw above, a rodent problem can spread fast. So when you see these creepers, get some help as soon as possible. They transmit diseases to humans such as viruses and salmonella and can bring fleas and other parasites into your home. A clean house will deter a mice infestation. But it won’t stop an infestation once it’s begun.

Ticks

Ticks feed on blood and carry diseases. They transmit diseases like Lyme disease via spirochetes bacteria. They can also carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever. They are commonly found in long grass and can be a real pest for your pets, too.

Termites

Termites don’t pose a threat to human health. But they do pose a big problem to the health of your house. They can multiply quickly, and feed on wood.

They can do extensive and expensive damage to your home. Look for brittle of hollow wood, and mud tubes on exterior walls. As soon as you spot the signs, give us a call for treatment recommendations.

Wasps and Bees

While wasps can control other flying insects, and bees do wonders for the garden, you don’t want them nesting to close to your home. Wasps and bees post a threat of stinging to you and your children. If you feel that their hives are too close for comfort, get in touch.

Other Pests

If you’ve spotted rodents or insects around your house but you’re not sure what they are or if they pose a threat, you can give us a call for a free inspection. Not all insects are a threat, but it’s best to ask us to be sure.
