Several ant species in Maryland and Virginia can make their way into your house when they're looking for food. If you see little black bugs running around your kitchen, you may be wondering if these pests are ants, termites or another insect. This ant identification guide will help you figure out the different types of ants and how to prevent them. Ants are strong, intelligent insects that live in colonies and work together to gather food. They can be a nuisance if they try to steal crumbs from your kitchen, and their parade marching on your countertops and floors may be a little unsettling.

The three rodents we see the most often in our area are the common House Mouse, Norway Rat, and the Roof Rat. Identification of the correct rodent species invading your home is a crucial first step for proper control. A thorough inspection of the home is also required in order to locate possible entry points, harboring sites, and any food and water sources. Senate Termite Control utilizes bait placement and/or non-toxic control measures to best suit your needs. Norway rats can reach a total length (including the tail) of 18 inches and weigh 1 lb.

Sometimes the DIY methods with conventional traps and bug spray won't cut it if you're handling pest control yourself. When you've decided to hire a pest exterminator, what more will it ultimately cost you, and can you be sure you'll get your money's worth from the treatment? At Senate Pest Control, we understand these lingering questions might make you hesitant to sign a service contract with a company without a proven track record. Since 1991, we've actively worked to be the most transparent and flexible pest control organization in Maryland and upper Virginia, and we're always mindful of your budget.

Termite control is crucial for homeowners in the MD/DC/VA area. Each year, termites cost homeowners an estimated $5 billion in termite damage. That's more than floods, fires and hurricanes combined. Termites typically feed on unseen portions of the home, often unbeknownst to the homeowner until it's too late. In our region, subterranean termites are the cause of almost all termite damage in our area. These termites live in the soil and move through shelter tubes, up foundation walls and into the structure of your home.

Bed bugs feed on human blood, and while they aren't known to transmit disease, they cause an irritating itch and may result in dry skin and infections. These nocturnal insects can go for months without feeding when fully mature, and females can lay several eggs a day. Between their longevity and rapid reproduction, bed bugs can be difficult to remove completely. At Senate Pest Control, we know there are two equally frustrating things you think of with bed bugs: how they got there, and how you're going to get rid of them.

Of all the pests that can cause problems for you and your home, termites cause the costliest and most extreme damage. Highly destructive creatures, they can consume a home's wooden elements from the inside without the homeowner even realizing there is a problem. Regular termite inspections are an important part of home maintenance in this part of the country. As the name suggests, Subterranean Termites live underground, forming massive colonies which consume wood and convert it to fuel. Constantly searching for new sources of food, they sometimes target wooden structures such as those found in home and commercial construction.
