A Guide to Common Pest Identification
You may be familiar with the most common pests in Seguin, but something about finding them in your house or business makes you think of questions about them that you’ve never considered before. Our Pest Library answers those questions so that you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with when pests invade your property.
-
Ants Ants are common household invaders and social insects that live in structured colonies, divided into three different groups, or castes: fertile males, queens, and workers. Worker ants travel across our yards and into our homes while foraging for food.
-
Bed Bugs Bed bugs were once almost eradicated, but they’ve become a growing problem in the United States in recent years. Because of how they travel from place to place, anyone is susceptible to a bed bug infestation.
-
Cockroaches Cockroaches are one of the most common and significant pest species, and often find their way into our homes and businesses where they are both a nuisance and a danger.
-
Fleas & Ticks Fleas are tiny, parasitic insects that feed on the blood of warm-blooded mammals. Ticks are biting pests that feed on the blood of their host from the outside of their body. Their sole source of food is blood, & ticks have adapted to feed for long periods.
-
Mosquitoes Mosquitoes are a type of fly-like insect; they are well known pests that feed on the blood of people and animals. Mosquitoes have narrow bodies, a pair of wings, and long, thin legs.
-
Rodents With more than 40 percent of mammals being rodents, they are a common pest and live in a variety of environments worldwide. Whether you live in the city, on a farm, or in a house in the suburbs, rodents can become a problem for you.
-
Scorpions Though scorpions prefer to live in a dry or desert-like environment, the fact remains that they require a regular water source. Their need for water is what often draws scorpions to our Texas properties.
-
Spiders Spiders and insects are both arthropods, which means they have a protective skeleton on the outside of their bodies. However, spiders are not insects; they are arachnids – related to mites, ticks, and scorpions.
-
Stinging Insects Stinging insects are predatory, feeding on and helping to control populations of nuisance insects. They also are responsible for a bit of pollination.
-
Termites Termites are wood eaters and can be very destructive to our properties. Despite worker termites only being about the size of a grain of rice, when they work together, they can cause billions of dollars in damages across the country every year.
