Comprehensive Pest Control Services

If you are seeing ants in your home, you can expect that there are plenty of ant friends nearby. Ants create colonies that, through the creation of additional, far-reaching satellite colonies, can extend into nearby neighboring yards. This can make typical DIY elimination methods ineffective. With queens able to lay upwards of 800 eggs in a single day and their ability to leave pheromone trails to lead other ants directly on the path to your home, swift action for elimination is critical to effectively removing these bothersome pests.  

Often forming nests around the exterior of your property, these winged insects are more than just a nuisance, they can be a pain! Equipped with stingers, bees and wasps can deliver an uncomfortable sting to those that get in their way. Those with allergies or sensitivities to their sting can experience additional discomfort or life-threatening symptoms if left untreated. Eliminating these pests from your property can be a headache. Leave it to the professionals to eradicate these insects and fully remove any active nests.

If you have a pet, you are likely familiar with the preventatives used to keep your dog or cat flea and tick-free. While these pests are certainly bothersome to their four-legged hosts, they can cause the same amount of discomfort to human occupants within the home.

If left untreated, fleas can quickly reproduce into infestation-like numbers in a relatively short amount of time. Early signs of fleas can certainly start with your pet but extend to small, red bites around the feet and ankles of any humans within the home. You may even see fleas hopping around in your carpeting, pet bedding, and more.

Ticks can be carried in via pet or human hosts. Typically picked up in wooded or high-grass areas, these parasites are not only a nuisance, but also pose a greater threat to your health. Ticks feed on the blood of their host and can transmit diseases, such as Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, from a single bite. An effective pest maintenance plan can greatly reduce the chances of these pests inhabiting your yard and finding their way into your home.

Drawn to dark corners, warmth, and the search for food, spiders can easily make their way into your home. Most spiders pose little to no threat to the occupants of the home, but that doesn’t make their presence any more welcome. Since they are great at hiding in basements, boxes, and other storage areas, they may go undetected until they grow considerably in numbers. Our pest technicians can quickly identify the type and threat-level of spider within your home and provide prompt eradication through single-visit or multiple chemical treatments.

Similar to many pests, rodents are typically motivated by the search for food and a safe, warm place to nest. Unfortunately, your home provides the perfect destination for mice and rats. These pests are experts at chewing through any obstacle they find in their way and squeezing into even the tiniest of openings. You may notice chewed wires, disturbed food, or droppings throughout your home. Mice and rats are carriers to a variety of harmful diseases, and may even harbor other pests, such as fleas. If you believe you have rodents running around your property, let Joy Exterminators take back your home and eliminate your rodent problem today.  

As the seasons shift from summer to fall, so comes the wave of ladybugs into your home. These beetles, while not nearly as detrimental as other house pests, can still cause minor damage and can become quite a nuisance due to their large numbers. If you have ladybugs in your home, you may notice an unpleasant odor or staining on your walls or fabric. They do not carry disease or cause any structural damage to your home. Because of their ability to infest rapidly, over the counter control methods are not typically effective. Many beetles make their way into inaccessible areas, out of reach of traditional insecticides. Joy Exterminators provides expert remediation to all sizes of ladybug problems and offers preventative methods to deter nesting in your home.

When it comes to roaches, a strong offense is your best defense. These pests are always on the hunt for more food, water, and shelter. Depending on the species of cockroach found in your home, elimination efforts may prove more difficult than simply using store-bought roach spray. These pests are nocturnal, allowing them to make their way into your home unnoticed and leaving them to reproduce at rapid rates. They also carry bacteria and diseases, such as E. coli and salmonella. Apart from seeing roaches in your home, you may notice small, black flecks, or droppings, or even notice an unpleasant odor. All of these are signs that it is time to call a professional to curb your roach problem before it gets any bigger.

Termites. It is a pest no home or business owner wants to ever encounter. Those that are met with an infestation can face thousands in structural damage and treatment costs. Joy Exterminators partners with Sentricon Systems to deliver industry-leading termite treatment and preventative to eradicate any active termites and keep them from returning to your home. If you have evidence of termites, such as mud tubes, frass, or termite droppings, hollow-sounding wood, and more, then it is time to call the professionals.
