House Crickets Control

As their name would suggest, house crickets can live indefinitely indoors. They are light, yellowish brown, and measure about 3/4 of an inch long. When the weather is warm, they are typically found outdoors in garbage dumps, light poles and house walls. House crickets enter the home in search of moisture. They feed on wool, cotton, silk and other fabrics and are attracted to dirty clothes. Cricket control begins with removing their outdoor living environments by regular mowing, removing wood piles and the like. Entry ways to your property should also be thoroughly sealed. After those measures have been taken, the appropriate house cricket treatment may be applied by a professional pest exterminator.

Camel Crickets Control

Camel crickets are named for their humpbacked appearance. They are about 1/2 of an inch in size and dark brown in color. Outdoors, camel crickets are found in cool, moist locations including mulch, stones and woodpiles. Indoors, they may find their way into basements, garages and attics. Camel crickets have been known to eat holes in clothes and other fabrics. Camel cricket control begins with removing the cool, moist environments which they dwell. Entry points in the home should also be sealed.

Ladybugs Control

Most ladybugs are beneficial species of the beetle family. They eat other insects such as mites and mealybugs. A few ladybug species are leaf eaters, making them plant pests. No direct pest control of ladybugs is recommended, as they are most often beneficial insects that cause no health or structural hazards. As far as ladybug removal is concerned, temporary relief can be achieved by vacuuming and sealing possible entry points.

Stinkbugs

Stinkbugs are named for the strong, cilantro-like odor emitted when they feel threatened. Stinkbugs are various shades of brown with lighter markings. They are agricultural pests that can cause substantial damage to fruit and vegetable crops. Stinkbugs typically invade homes in the fall. You can prevent stinkbugs from invading your house with the appropriate treatment. If you suspect there is a stinkbug infestation, a thorough inspection followed by proper sanitation and pesticide application should follow.

Crickets are nocturnal insects that are known for chirping. They eat a variety of plant material, organic matter and occasionally other crickets. While they are harmless to humans, they can become pests if they enter the home and damage clothes and other fabrics.

Sawtooth Grain Beetles Control

The Sawtooth Grain beetle is named for the teeth-like structures on either side of its body. They are 1/8 of an inch long. Their brown, flattened body allows them to make their way into packages and do considerable damage to a variety of foods. These beetles commonly attack cereals, bread, pasta, dried fruit, sugar and dried meat.

Drugstore treatment
