Rodents, like mice and rats, can literally 'chew away' at your property, causing damage and bringing germs and disease to where you live and work. With more than 2,200 different types or rodents, known to carry up to 35 different diseases, they can affect health and safety in serious ways. You can see and hear signs of their presence, such as gnawing to wood, carpeting, furniture, or wiring, or seeing droppings in cupboards or cabinets. Seeing mice or rats can be fairly common at various times of the year, and you may hear them running around behind walls or in attic spaces in fall and winter months when they try to obtain warmth and moisture.
Thousands of species of bees live all over the world, and play important roles in the survival of the planet's ecology and plant life. Bees are the primary source of pollination that keeps flowering plants and foods growing. When they become a pest by doing such things as stinging people and pets, or even causing property damage, it may be time to call in the professionals. If you have noticed a bee hive on your property or in your home, contact Standard Exterminating Company, Inc. as soon as possible for the most effective bee control.
A termite infestation can bring real headaches to any property owner. They can literally 'eat away' at the foundation of your home, no matter what type of construction is used. In recent decades, termite colonies have been known to migrate to new areas by hitching a ride on wood and other materials being shipped from state to state. This ability to move easily can add to the difficulty in remediating termite problems. Termites are able and willing to feed on a variety of materials in the home, including wood, paper, books, drywall, leather, cellulose insulation, cardboard, and even animal fur.
Common cockroaches can come in a number of varieties. In the wild, they are beneficial to the environment as important recyclers of decaying organic material. Perhaps this is why it is not surprising to find "pest cockroaches" near waste deposits or in kitchens, where food is plentiful. They can breed in large nests or colonies, indicating that for every one roach you see, there are many more you do not. The average cockroach can measure up to two inches in length. They have six legs, two antennae, and some species have wings.

Having a building that is properly insulated can help in giving added defense against intrusive pests. Paying special attention to those areas where pests may have access, such as attics, crawlspaces, and basements can discourage occupation by pests and give you added assurance and peace of mind, along with some economic savings when it comes to heating and cooling your home. The technicians at Standard Exterminating can offer the right kind of insulation solution that is appropriate for your needs.
The technicians at Standard Exterminating are trained inspectors and know the signs of a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs can find their way to hotel rooms, where they may travel from room to room to avoid extermination. However, bed bugs can be found in other places, such as offices, dormitories, stores, and gyms. They attach themselves to the luggage and other bags of unsuspecting travelers, and get into personal belongings and briefcases. They make their way to your home and take up residence there.
