- AntsNobody wants to see a trail of ants in the kitchen or along the walkway to your home. These tiny pests, such as sugar, pavement and carpenter ants are able to enter homes via the tiniest of cracks! If an ant infestation occurs in your home or property, then taking a DIY approach to complete ant removal and control is an almost impossible task.

- SpidersA wide variety of spiders can make it into your home. Many of them are relatively harmless, but others can cause serious medical issues for your family and pets with their bites. Most spiders in our service areas don’t pose a threat to humans, but they can be quite the nuisance. Seeing spiders in your home can also signal that another pest is present.
- TermitesA pest problem can be more than just annoying. For example, termites can cause expensive structural damage, and mice can carry diseases that will make your kids or pets sick. Anyone can set traps or use chemical sprays, but it takes an expert exterminator to kick pests out
- Bed BugsBed bugs have become a very big problem from Connecticut to New York. These summer bugs can dwell in just about any furniture object in your home. After a night’s sleep, you could end up covered in unsightly and irritating bite marks, especially during the warmer months. Heat and humidity during summer and early fall does appear to increase bed bug activity, making peak season for bed bugs June through October.
- FleasFleas love warm temperatures, making summertime the peak season for flea extermination services. If you’ve noticed the family dog scratching more than usual lately, it could be the first sign of a flea infestation. Fleas can easily hide in the fur of pets, lay eggs inside your home and pass on the dangerous diseases they carry.
- CockroachesIf you spot one roach in your house, it’s likely thousands more are lurking which means you may be in need of professional cockroach removal. These pests feed on what’s in your pantry and leave behind foul waste.
- Silverfish
- BeesThere are over 500 species of carpenter bees, but as a rule, they are generally large in size and solitary in nature. Their name is derived from the fact that almost all species build their nests in holes burrowed into wood and other structural timbers. This means that these bees do not live in hives, but actually prefer to live alone or in small groups.
- WaspsEvery year, the warmer months bring these stinging summer bugs to backyards throughout New England. There are many different types of wasps that can become a nuisance around the house and call for expert wasp removal.
- TicksTicks are small, tear-drop shaped arachnids that are generally reddish-brown in color. These summer bugs prefer warm, humid environments, as the heat and moisture in the air are more conducive to their metamorphosis. Ticks feed on blood so they also seek out areas plentiful with potential hosts – birds, amphibians and mammals like you, your family and your pets. If you’ve spotted ticks in your home, it may be time for a tick removal professional.
- Earwigs
- MosquitoesMosquitoes are brown, spindly legged insects approximately one-half inch or less in length. Adult mosquitoes feed on nectar and other plant juices, but some also feed on blood. These summer bugs can locate blood hosts by sight, scent and heat from up to 100 feet away! Mosquitoes are especially sensitive to the carbon dioxide we exhale. Most mosquitoes only feed at dawn or dusk, keeping out of the day’s heat. However, they will absolutely bite any time of the day or night if disturbed. For most homeowners, mosquito control in the summer is a big concern as they want to enjoy their yard. As a result, working with a mosquito exterminator like Eliminate ‘Em helps control the mosquitos in your yard.
- FliesFlies are generally found in homes, restaurants and supermarkets – especially in places where food is allowed to ferment and decay. Fruit flies are among these, but the most common variety of fly found in our area is the housefly, accounting for over 90% of fly infestations. Adult flies are 8 to 12 millimeters in length and primarily grey in color with four black stripes running along their thorax. They have no teeth, which means they often shoot saliva out of their mouths to predigest their meals. Female houseflies lay batches of eggs of up to 150 at a time. These eggs hatch into maggots within a day, ensuring that the cycle of infestation continues at a rapid rate. The summer months are particularly ideal for flies, as the increased heat accelerates decomposition, making their food resources even more abundant. Your meals, pet food, and trash cans full of garbage are all prime sources of nourishment for these nearly indestructible pests. If you’ve spotted flies around your home, and have exhausted all options on
- Centipedes
- MillipedesMoles range in size from 6 – 12” long depending on the species. Their fur is a velvety or mohair texture, either blue-black or gray. Moles have a slender snout, needle-like teeth, and large flat hands with extended fingers and claws. Their ears and eyes are so inconspicuous they are practically invisible. Moles primarily feed on ground invertebrates such as worms, grubs, millipedes and ants. They are active night and day, year round, but they are most visible on damp days during the spring and fall.
- Beetles
- HornetsBald-faced hornet: Closely related to the yellow jacket, this species appears visually similar. However, bald-faced hornets are slightly larger and have white markings on the face, thoracic and abdomen.
- Yellow JacketsYellow jackets are a common sight once summer arrives and often continue to spot them through fall. Once they’ve found a food source and built a nest on your property, they become a hazard. Yellow jackets are known to sting multiple times and may trigger a serious allergic reaction. If you’ve spotted these pests around your home, it may be time to contact a yellow jacket nest removal specialist.
- Moths
- Pantry PestsA food container which is not firmly sealed after use is always vulnerable to infestation. Once one container is exposed, pests tend to spread until you can’t be sure if anything in your pantry is safe to consume. Unfortunately, there are often only two ways to discover that pantry pests are present. Either you’ll actually see them crawling or flying their way out of your cabinets or (and this is perhaps the more disturbing possibility...) you will come across them when you try to boil your pasta or pour a bowl of cereal. Either way, once you suspect that any pantry pest has found its way into your home, it is important to call a professional
- Stinging InsectsWasps cover a wide swath of species; their appearances are just as varied. Compared to other flying and stinging insects...
- Mites
- PsocidsThere are many types of pantry pests – flour beetles, drugstore beetles, larder beetles, spider beetles, granary weevils, rice weevils, grain moths, flour moths, psocids, and grain mites, just to name a few... all of them require pantry pest control, and all of them get there by way of contaminated food.
- BatsThere are about 40 bat species in the US, with the most common being the little brown bat, the big brown bat and the Mexican free-tailed bat. With the natural world containing fewer trees and caves than it did centuries ago, bats have started looking for other places to stay – dark and free from disturbances. Your attic looks like the perfect spot – especially if there’s a hole or small crevice for them to pass through.
- MolesMoles don’t eat plants, but they can still cause significant damage to yours. The tunnels they dig in your lawn disrupt roots, weakening or killing grass and other plants. Their large and obvious mole hills are quite unsightly, and because moles don’t hibernate there is almost never a “good” time to catch them and undo their damage. That is why it is so important to call in a trained professional to quickly and thoroughly remove them from your property.
- RaccoonsRaccoons can cause severe damage if they get inside your home or business. Pest management is key to remove and kept these wildlife outside. Rather than setting up an ineffective raccoon trap, contact Eliminate ‘Em. Our professional technicians have experiences handling these potentially dangerous animals.
- SnakesSnakes: When snakes enter your home, we have a multi-step process to remove all traces and prevent further snake infestations from occurring.
- WildlifeRemoving a skunk from your home can be a smelly experience if you are not a trained wildlife control/pest control expert. There are two main types of Skunks found in the Northeast, the Striped Skunk and the Spotted Skunk. Both varieties have dark bodies with white markings, but naturally, the Spotted Skunk’s markings are broken up while the Striped Skunk sports two long, clean white lines of fur straight down its back to the tail. Spotted Skunks are the rarer species. They are smaller (only 1 – 2 pounds), strictly nocturnal and prefer keeping to forests and woodland environments.
- OpossumsThe opossum, sometimes referred to “possum”, is the most common form of marsupial found in the Western Hemisphere. They can grow up to the size of a large cat, but are actually about 2 – 3 feet long with the length of their rat-like tail. Opossums have distinctively elongated snouts and narrow skulls, pink noses, black eyes and black, hairless ears. The fur on their bodies is a grayish white, which fades to a darker gray on their limbs.
- Birds
- RodentsAs a home or businessowner, you know pest control can be an ongoing battle. Once you’ve had an infestation, there is likely to be another one – unless you take proper action to prevent it. Thermal Acoustical Pest Control Insulation (TAP) is one solution to stop bugs and rodents from entering – permanently. What should you know about TAP® insulation?
- MiceWhen you discover a mouse or rat in your home or office, you may spend hours researching how to catch and get rid of mice. You spend money on mouse traps, poison and replacing damaged items in your home, but the mice and rats always return. Rather than relying on these temporary solutions, call Eliminate ’Em Pest Control Services for expert mice exterminators that will get rid of mice and remove those rats for good!
- RatsUnderground: Equipped with a permanent barrier, your deck, shed and other low-clearance areas factor in how rats, mice and other wildlife could crawl through or burrow into your home.
- SquirrelsNoises coming from the attic could indicate a flying squirrel problem. Your home offers easy access to shelter and food for these creatures, who are smaller than ground squirrels and can squeeze through little gaps. Whether you see or think you only hear one, it’s likely that a whole group of flying squirrels have infested your home, as they like to travel together. Rather than trying to capture them yourself, contact the professionals at Eliminate ‘Em Pest Control for swift removal of flying squirrels from your home.
- VolesAlthough voles pose no physical danger to humans and pets, their urine and feces can carry diseases. Since voles are especially active in gardens, it could be hazardous to consume anything planted once an infestation has been discovered.
- ChipmunksChipmunks like to create deep burrows for waste and food storage. If you notice pathways in the lawn that are several feet in length, you could be dealing with a chipmunk infestation. Not only can they affect your landscape, chipmunks go after decks and porches too. To keep these pests away...
