There's nothing more relaxing than coming home to a cozy and refreshing living space. However, your home is a potential target for various critters that can cause significant property damage and pose health hazards if left unchecked. Pests can invade your home for several reasons, including food, water, and breeding. Given this, it's crucial to schedule routine maintenance inspections with a reputable pest control service provider. At Wheeler’s Pest Control, we leverage our extensive expertise and proven strategies to identify signs of intrusion and determine the extent of the problem. This enables our exterminators to devise a removal plan that keeps your home safe and pest-free for years to come. Let's examine the top 5 pests that require immediate removal to ensure you take prompt action.
Termites are tiny insects that cause billions of dollars in property damage annually. If you notice damaged wood structures indoors and outside, mud tubes on walls, or discarded wings near entrances, call a professional pest removal service immediately. These critters feed on cellulose found in paper products and wood, making your home a prime target. What makes termites the most destructive and dangerous pests is their ability to go unnoticed until it's too late. Early detection and removal keep wooden structures in top shape and reduce the risk of infestation spreading in the event of an invasion.
A cockroach running across the kitchen is not only unsightly but also a potential health risk. These insects spread diseases like typhoid, salmonella, and cholera, compromising your family’s safety and overall well-being. Additionally, cockroaches contribute to respiratory complications, especially in individuals with underlying issues. Regularly check for droppings that resemble black pepper grains, shed skins, and a musty odor in hidden areas. If you notice signs of a severe infestation, hire a pest service provider to effectively address the problem.
Did you know that mosquitoes are one of the deadliest insects in the world? Mosquitoes can be a nuisance if you spend time outdoors, but indoors, they pose a potential infestation and health risk. Mosquitoes transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue, and chikungunya. If you live in an area that experiences frequent rains and is prone to standing water, be on the lookout for increased mosquito bites and larvae. Regularly clear pooled water and install screens in doors and windows to keep mosquitoes out. These preventive measures are effective in the initial stages, but a full-blown infestation requires the expertise of a pest control provider.

Mice and rats often invade homes and businesses in search of food. Besides being a nuisance, these unwanted critters spread diseases such as salmonella, leptospirosis, and hantavirus, putting your loved ones at risk. Rodents are also notorious for chewing through utility lines, which causes costly repairs or even fire hazards. Regularly inspect your spaces for signs of intrusion, such as gnaw marks, droppings, and scratched surfaces. Take a proactive approach by sealing entry points, storing food in containers, and regularly cleaning all rooms.
Finally, ants should not be allowed indoors. While some species are harmless, others can cause significant property damage if left unchecked. The main cause of most ant infestations is food, so clean up spills and crumbs immediately. Since ants create trails along floors and walls, use caulk to seal cracks and entry points on surfaces. If you detect the presence of ants indoors despite your efforts, hire a pest removal expert to devise tailored solutions that resolve and prevent future problems.
