Cockroaches in Memphis Tennessee

Ants are both fascinating and terrifying. Though they may be small in size, ants have some pretty unique capabilities that set them apart from other insects worldwide! More than 10 thousand known ant species occur throughout our planet’s forests which makes up for more than half of all organisms living there – sometimes even as much as 50%.

Bed bugs can crawl into tiny spaces, so they often hitchhike onto your clothes or furniture from other infested areas such as hotel rooms or public transportation. You can also get bed bugs from furniture that you buy on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. This is because they often go unnoticed until the host wakes up with itchy red bites on their body. When bedbugs find a place to live, they’ll lay eggs that hatch into nymphs–tiny versions of adult bedbugs that start feeding immediately after hatching. A single female bedbug will produce about five eggs per week.

Bed bugs are a type of insect that nobody wants in their home. Not only do they feed on blood but they are extremely difficult to get rid of. They usually hide in cracks and crevices during the day, coming out at night to hunt for a host.

bees

Bee Removal In Nashville

Bees are a group of insects that includes a few species in the family Apidae, and they are typically found to travel from flower to flower. Thus, bees can also be called apides. They have a proboscis that ends in a sharp, piercing end that they use to suck up pollen and nectar from flowers.

Bees may be a nuisance to humans, but they are a crucial part of the ecosystem. They pollinate plants, and as such, they create food for us. Beyond that, the honey they produce has been used for medicinal purposes. Because of this, many people are interested in beekeeping as a hobby. Bees may look cute and harmless with their yellow and black stripes, but they can sting you if agitated or threatened. They have a stinger made of chitin with barbs which will remain in your skin when the bee tries to escape after it has given its sting.

Beetle Exterminator

Beetles are an order of insects classified under the class of Coleoptera. They have a unique body shape relative to most other insects. They have a hard outer shell that has many different elevations and in the middle of their bodies is a flexible split called a sternum. They have chewing mouthparts and often have powerful jaws. Beetles have two pairs of wings that are covered by a tough shell. The front pair of wings is called the elytra, which means cover in Greek. This allows their second set of wings to remain protected when they are flying or not in use.

Beetles are dangerous because they can cause significant damage to homes, buildings, and crops. They can do this by eating wood. Beetles are not only destructive to the structures but also harmful to humans. Beetles have been linked to allergies, asthma, chemical sensitivities, and skin rashes, just to name a few illnesses.

boxedler_bug_removal

Boxelder Removal in Middle Tennessee

The Box Elder Bug is also known as the Maple Bug. This bug has a dark orange to red color with three black lines on its back. It will measure about 1/2 inch in length and are similar in shape to an alligator.

Box Elder Bugs get their name from where they are usually found, which is under the bark of a female Box Elder Tree. They will also be found in other trees such as maple, ash, and cottonwood. If these bugs are found in your yard or home, they can come from nearby trees that have been damaged by weather conditions or disease. Box Elder Bugs gather on the south and west sides of homes, looking for a place to spend the winter. Unfortunately, if they find their way into your home, it will be near where the sun comes in during the fall months. They are harmless to people and pets but can cause damage to your house by staining paint with their excrement. Box Elder Bug infestations seem to happen mostly in the fall when these bugs move indoors to find a place to spend the winter. They will be attracted by warmth and will fly towards your lights. This is another reason why it is important to remove any standing water from your home because this could attract many Box Elder Bugs looking for a place to stay during the winter months.

brown-recluse-spider_600x600

Brown Recluse Exterminator

The Brown Recluse Spider is sometimes referred to as the Violin Spider, Fiddleback Spider. This spider has a brown color with fiddles-like markings on its head and mid-section. It measures about 1/2 inch in length and has six eyes that are arranged in three pairs. The front pair of eyes will point forward, the middle pair of eyes are pyramid-shaped, and the back pair are smaller.

Brown Recluse Spiders can be very harmful to both people and pets because of their venomous bites. In addition, these spiders feed on insects, so if they are in your home, you may find other insects like carpet beetles around as well. Brown Recluse Spiders do not spin webs because they do not build their nests. Instead, they will be found in dark areas that are not often visited, such as under your dressers or beds or behind picture frames. If you notice any of these pests in your home, it is important to call a professional pest control service immediately so they can get rid of them before they create a problem for you and your family.

Carpenter Ant Exterminator

Carpenter ants are brownish-black in color. They are distinguishable by the type of nest they make. Carpenter ants typically prefer to eat wood that has been slightly softened by water. When carpenter ants invade a home, they can cause damage to wood through their tunnels and use their mandibles which are used to chew on the surface of the wood. This can cause severe structural damage to the wood in your home.

The presence of carpenter ants is often noticed long before they are seen. Carpenter ants invade homes in search of food and water, mainly sugary items like honeydew that are excreted by aphids or scale insects that feed on house plant leaves or come from nearby trees. These insects also often feed on tree sap from the seed-bearing cones of evergreen trees, such as pineapples or redwood.

carpet_beetles_in_nashville

Carpet Beetle Removal In Nashville

Carpet Beetles are considered pantry pests because they can infest food items stored in your pantry. For example, carpet Beetles will infest cereal, bread, spices, and other grains stored in your home. Carpet Beetles are dark in color, with either black or brown hairs on their body.

Adult carpet beetles measure up to 5/16 inches in length, and the larvae will be white with a brown head. It is very difficult to see these larvae because they are so small. Carpet Beetles are capable of flying from one area of your house to another. This is why it is important that once you have an infestation in one room, you need to start there and clean up thoroughly before moving on to the rest of your home. Although Carpet Beetles do not pose a threat to people or pets, they can be a nuisance if they are present in large numbers because they will contaminate food sources in your home.

Centipede Removal In Nashville

Centipedes are arthropods—participants of an invertebrate class that consists of bugs, spiders, and crustaceans. All centipedes belong to the magnificence Chilopoda, which includes about 3,300 specific species. They are located on each continent except Antarctica, and they have the best diversity in form and configuration in heat and tropical environments. Maximum centipedes are adapted to burrowing and stay in soil or leaf litter beneath the bark of trees or below stones.

The name “Centipede” means “one hundred feet” and refers to their many legs, which usually number between 30 and 354 but never 100. Centipedes live under rocks and in moist places like basements and crawl spaces. Some types of centipede come inside looking for food and water when it is raining or cold outside. If they get in the home, they can be found in damp areas like under sinks, behind toilets, and basements.

dark bush-cricket (Pholidoptera griseoaptera) is a flightless species of bush-cricket

Cricket Pest Control

Crickets are insects in the order Orthoptera, characterized by three pairs of legs, a pair of antennae, and an enlarged head. Crickets are related to grasshoppers and katydids. Crickets are usually nocturnal and hide during the day under rocks or mulch. Their bodies are flat and wingless, and they have five pairs of legs for feeling around. Crickets come in different sizes, but the most prominent species can grow to be about 2 inches long. Males have large wings which are folded upon their backs when they’re not mating or flying.

Crickets are a type of insect that can be dangerous because they can carry diseases, be pests to crops, and spread certain types of fungi. However, crickets are also beneficial in many ways. For example, they help control the population of other insects and pollinate plants in a garden.

earwigs_in_nashville

Earwig Removal

Earwigs are tiny insects that make up the insect order Dermaptera. With about 2,000 species in 12 families, this group is one of our smallest orders. An earwig has two antennae, six legs, three body parts with pincers on its abdomen to make up for its formidable looks! They are dark-colored and long insects that sometimes have a red line on their back. They range from 5-25 millimeters depending on the species.

Earwigs are primarily nocturnal and often hide in small, moist crevices during the day. They’ll come out at night to feed on a wide variety of insects or plants! Earwigs are harmless to humans, and they do not lay eggs inside human ears nor feed off brains like in the myth that you may believe.

flea_in_nashville

Flea Removal & Protection in Nashville

Fleas are wingless insects with long legs, which help them jump vertically to more than seven inches. In addition, flea has thin flat bodies, enabling the creatures to move quickly through the hair on their hosts for survival purposes. There are different types, including cat fleas, dog fleas (or horse), human fungus/rat larvae; all can cause significant problems when infesting places like homes.

The best way to eliminate fleas from your yard is by considering where they’d most like to hide. First, look at the areas in which you have found them and note anything that would be shady, humid, or warm. Hot areas, especially with direct sunlight, are not good spots to find fleas.

hornet_removal_nashville

Hornet Removal & Exterminator

Hornets are often larger than wasps, and some species of hornets don’t have the common yellow and black striping but instead are covered in white or black spots. Their increased size means they can carry more venom!

Hornets are beneficial insects that help control pest populations, particularly spiders. They eat tree sap and other insects but can be found snacking on fruit or picnic food too! Hornets will sting if threatened, so it is important not to get close while they’re in your yard – just like wasps do with their stings being more painful than a Hornets’. It’s also good practice not to touch them because some species carry very harmful poison, which sometimes causes death after only one sting (especially children).

lawn_care_tn

Professional Lawn Care In Nashville

Lawncare is the process of providing overall care to your lawn. Lawn care includes keeping an area free of weeds and other invasive species, fertilizing and watering grass, and applying pesticides to keep the lawn healthy and prevent weeds from taking over.


Lawn care can also include not mowing a specific area for some time to promote better grass growth or changing the fertilization cycle used on a location (i.e., from annual to bi-annual or tri-annual). In many areas of the United States, homeowners and commercial establishments hire professionals to take care of their lawns. In others, the landscaping is part of a homeowner’s responsibility and includes mowing and cutting grass with various tools (push mower, riding mower).

Mice Removal In Tennessee

Mice are among the most common household pests. They are generally found in the open spaces of your home, especially in areas where they can get food. They like to eat on counters, behind appliances, and anything within easy reach (especially pet food bowls). They enjoy being close to walls, and once they have chewed their way through they will usually create a small nest where it is nice and warm so they can lay their young.

Mice often give off an unpleasant odor because of the droppings they leave behind leading to a terrible odor and possible health issues. Mice are also carriers of disease. These diseases can lead to serious health problems such as fever, headache, chills, aches, and even death in some cases. Therefore, if you have had mice in your home, you must clean up all droppings immediately to reduce the risk of catching something that could be very harmful.

The European mole or Common Mole is a mammal of the order Soricomorpha

Mole & Vole

Moles and voles are tiny animals that burrow in the ground, but they’re not always alike. Voles feed on plants while moles eat insects or other foods like salads greens grown above ground; however, both pests can cause extensive damage to your lawn if left unchecked! If you don’t see any evidence that a creature has been eating at night but has furrows in the morning before other household members get up for work or school – there’s likely voles!

Moles and voles can easily be distinguished from one another by looking at the key physical characteristics. For example, a mole has a pointed snout, enlarged front feet with sensitive ears so tiny they’re hard to spot (you might need a magnifying glass!). At the same time, vole’s rounder-eared body is reddish or brown in coloration combined with black underneath its fur coat, which gives it sort of an “in shape” appearance when seen against desert terrain.

mosquito

Mosquito Removal In Nashville

Mosquitoes are tiny insects, usually just an inch or two in length, although they range in size. They are found around the world and can be seen inhabiting many different habitats There are three different types of mosquitoes that feed on mammals: Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex.

Mosquitoes pass along diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and encephalitis. There are many different methods to control mosquitoes, such as using mosquito nets, wearing long sleeves and pants when outside during mosquito hours (dawn and dusk), fogging, spraying, and adding fish to bodies of water for the mosquitofish to eat up all of the larvae.

silverfish_removal_nashville

Silverfish Removal Nashville

Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina) have been scampering around the world for more than 400 million years and remain pretty much the same as in their pre-dinosaur days.

They are shiny and gray, covered in tiny scales. They have a round head to a pointy abdomen region that makes them seem like they could be fish or some other animal who lives near water sources!

The shape of their bodies look similar too–both skinny with long legs but lack any fat around the stomach area. Silverfish are nocturnal creatures that generally take a long time to reproduce enough for infestation status. So the best way to get rid of these creatures is by vacuuming them and, of course, keeping your place clean.

Spider Removal in Nashville

There are more than 3,500 different types of spiders in the world. Some are venomous, while others aren’t as dangerous to humans but can still make for a nasty bite if you’re not careful! The most common type found near homes and yards includes wolf spiders; orb weavers such as hobo or black widows (all of which are impressive).

Spiders are arachnids with eight legs that don’t fly or swim like organisms in other animal classes would; they walk on two body segments connected by their abdomens. Spiders can be beneficial because they eat other pests. However, people fear and hate spiders more than any other creature in their homes. You could get rid of them by removing bugs or insects from your house. This will help you avoid the hassle!

squirrel-P4Y6PSK

Squirrel Removal in Nashville

Squirrels are small rodents who have big bushy tails. They can be grey, white, or brown, but typically they are a mixture of all three. Their paws resemble human hands, and they love to live in trees. Thus, they are often called “tree rats” because of their appearance and because sometimes they like to eat human food!

Squirrels are an extremely intelligent species. They communicate with each other through various vocalizations and scent marking and use their tails to alert others if there is the potential for danger. Squirrels can be dangerous to humans if they come too close to your home because they might carry rabies or another disease. Squirrels can make your home very uncomfortable for you-especially if they decide to make it their own. Once they take up residence in your home, it can be very hard to get rid of them, and might need help from professionals.

Termite Exterminator In Nashville

Termites are considered to be one of the most destructive pests in our world. Termites feed on dead plant matter like wood chips, decayed wood (logs), and leaf litter, as well as soil. They’re sometimes called “white ants,” but they aren’t closely related at all; termite queens don’t have stings or wings!

Termites are found in almost every part of the world and chew on dead plant material. Termites can also damage furniture and buildings or even eat clothes and books! Some termites are not able to digest wood but instead eat the fungus that is growing inside the timber. They have been known to destroy furniture and fabrics by feeding on cellulose fibers, including cotton, linen, and linoleum.

waterbug_removal

Water bug Removal In Nashville

Water bugs are also known as “Palmetto Bugs” in areas of the South (Florida, Georgia, Alabama). They can grow to be 4 inches long by 1 inch wide. They have a distinct black horizontal stripe that extends across the top of their body. Their exoskeleton is similar to a cockroach but looks different. They are dark brown in color with a tan stripe on their wings. Their heads are curved downward, and they have large black eyes that go across the middle of their head. The abdomen is more rounded than flat like a cockroach infestation, and their antennae have a little bulb at the end.

As with cockroaches, water bugs will leave droppings and an odor that attracts more insects if not eliminated quickly. Once the infestation has been taken care of, make sure to continue eliminating any possibility for a future infestation by fixing any leaks or small puddles in your home. They are usually found near appliances that use water or where there is moisture present in your home. For example, they might be found near the washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator, sink, garbage disposal unit, and even toilets. This is something to be aware of for those with small children or pets as they can deliver a venomous bite that can cause pain and disfigurement. Water bugs are also known to transfer disease, especially when found around unsanitary conditions or organic matter. Water bugs are also known as toe biters because they do bite people. They are attracted to the kitchen, where there is water and humidity, which causes these pests to thrive even more. Once they have infested your home, it may be hard to get rid of them without calling a professional exterminator to help with the problem.

Yellow Jacket Exterminator

Yellowjackets get their common name from the black and yellow color pattern of bands typically on their abdomens. These insects are mostly known to be flying insects, similar to bees but are more noticeably segmented with a very small waist. Yellowjackets are more aggressive than other stinging insects such as wasps, hornets, and bees. They can both sting you to ensure your attention for their nests or bite to gain a better grip before jabbing with its deadly weapon – the Yello wjacket’s Stingers! Their exoskeleton is similar to a cockroach but looks different. They are dark brown in color with a tan stripe on their wings. Their heads are curved downward, and they have large black eyes that go across the middle of their head. The abdomen is more rounded than flat like a cockroach infestation, and their antennae have a little bulb at the end.

Yellowjackets, or wasps, can be a real nuisance, and they’re most active during the summer months when they’re looking for food and water. If you’re dealing with a yellow jacket infestation, don’t bother trying to battle them yourself. They could be dangerous if they get too close, and you don’t want to mess around with such a persistent foe. Instead, call an exterminator as soon as possible.
