Professional scorpion control, however, is the best way to prevent scorpion stings. We provide treatment for scorpions as part of all of our residential pest control service programs.

Carpenter ants are large black, brown, or reddish ants that get their name from their habit of excavating galleries in wood, where they lay their eggs and raise their young.
Spiders
Some spiders, however, can deliver bites that can cause localized pain, itching, and swelling (especially in sensitive individuals); and the bites of two species, the black widow spider
Termites
There are three major species of termites in Southeast Texas. The two more common species both live underground and are called "subterranean termites." The Eastern subterranean termite
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs have been around for centuries, but since the drastic reductions in organophosphate insecticides, we have seen a huge explosion in their numbers.
Cockroaches
German cockroaches are most commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms, where they like to live under the sink, in food cabinets, and in the cracks and crevices around the baseboards and trim. They favor a warm, dark, damp surroundings close to food and water. Adults have wings, but they do not fly.
Crickets
Earwigs
Mosquitoes
Like just about everyone else, we like to enjoy the great outdoors. Unfortunately, the best time to enjoy the great outdoors is also when mosquitoes peak in numbers, annoyance and the potential of disease transmission.
Centipedes
Millipedes
Scorpions
(Centruroides vittatus, shown here). Scorpions feed primarily on insects, so as far as that goes they can be considered beneficial. The problem is that they can also inflict a nasty sting to humans and domestic animals when they are disturbed. This sting can be quite painful, and even fatal to individuals who are sensitive to stings.
Aphids
Carpenter ant colonies are highly organized, and most of the members are workers. Worker carpenter ants spend most of their time walking between the nest and food sources, foraging for food. They eat a wide variety of foods including honeydew made by aphids, other sugary liquids like nectar, insects, food scraps dropped by humans, pet food, and pretty much anything else that has nutritional value. Their feeding habits change with the current needs of the colony, so foragers will sometimes prefer sweets, and at other times prefer fats and proteins.
(Sturnus vulgaris). These three species are legally classified as pest birds and are unprotected by federal or state laws. They can be controlled at will by anyone with a state pest control license. Usually the reason for wanting them gone is either that their droppings are defacing property (or people) or their feathers are clogging up HVAC equipment.
Woodpeckers
Other birds that are not considered "pests," such as various species of woodpeckers and seagulls, are more strictly protected than pest birds. But they can be managed using non-lethal methods such as exclusion, netting, scaring, or trapping and releasing when they become a nuisance.
(Mus musculus). Together, these three species are known as "commensal rodents", meaning that they "eat at the same table" as we do. This is because these rodents have adapted to living in close proximity to humans and usually eating food scraps that we discard.
Mice
Rats and mice are among the most important public health pests because they're involved in the transmission of many diseases, including...
Rats
Although rats are more notorious as disease-spreaders, mice are also important public health pests. Mice are smaller than rats and tend to live closer to humans, often getting into kitchen cabinets and drawers to find food -- and leaving their urine, droppings, shed hairs, and other filth behind.
Squirrels
Rodents who get into homes and other buildings can cause fires and disrupt phone and data services by gnawing on wires. Most experts believe that the majority of electrical fires of "unknown" origins were actually caused by rats, mice, and squirrels gnawing on electrical wiring in homes. Rats and mice are also responsible for countless telephone and data outages every year when they gnaw through telecommunications cables, including fiber-optic cable. In fact, in computer data centers, checking for mice is the most important job the exterminator does. One mouse can shut down thousands of users' access if it happens to chew through the wrong cable.
