Pests—ugh, right? No one wants them, but they seem to find their way into our homes, especially here in Mesa, Arizona. They crawl, scurry, and sometimes even fly right into our lives, making us wonder how to keep them away for good.
Let’s take a closer look at some common household pests, how you can spot and control them, and most importantly, how Green Machine Pest Control can help you kick them out (and make sure they stay gone).
Why Do Pests Love Your Home So Much?
Ever wonder why your home feels like a pest magnet? It’s not personal—pests are just opportunistic freeloaders. Your warm, cozy house with food crumbs and maybe a leaky faucet? That’s paradise for them.
And in Mesa’s heat, bugs and critters are always on the hunt for water, shelter, and food.
But identifying these unwanted visitors is step one in reclaiming your home. So, let’s break down the common household pests you’re most likely to encounter.
How to Stop Common Household Pests
Ants: The Tiny Troublemakers
Have you ever left out a crumb, only to find an army of ants marching through your kitchen? Ants are one of the most common household pests, and they can be a real headache.
- How to Spot Them: Small, black or brown critters. You’ll usually see them in long trails heading to and from food sources.
- Why They’re Here: They’re after food. Spilled sugar? That’s like winning the lottery for ants.
Don’t waste your time spraying random chemicals. Green Machine can pinpoint the source (like a scout ant at a picnic) and eliminate the colony so they don’t come back.
Cockroaches: The Sneaky Survivors
Cockroaches—yuck! These guys are the stuff of nightmares. If you spot one, there’s a good chance more are hiding nearby.
- How to Spot Them: Brown, flat insects that love to scurry when the lights flick on.
- Why They’re Here: They thrive in dirty dishes, damp areas, and even tiny cracks in your walls.
Roaches are no joke—they can carry bacteria that make you sick. Our team will tackle the infestation and seal entry points so your home isn’t a roach hotel anymore.
Spiders: Creepy Crawlers in the Corners
Spiders might not seem like a big deal, but let’s be real—who actually likes finding one in the shower?
- How to Spot Them: Webs in corners, along ceilings, or behind furniture. Some are small and harmless; others (like black widows) pack a venomous punch.
- Why They’re Here: They’re hunting smaller pests (like flies or moths).
Sure, spiders are natural pest controllers, but too many can make your home feel like a horror movie set. Green Machine doesn’t just remove spiders—we handle their food sources, too.
Scorpions: The Desert Dwellers
If you’ve lived in Mesa long enough, you know scorpions are practically part of the local wildlife. But that doesn’t mean they belong in your house!
- How to Spot Them: Yellowish or tan bodies, often hiding in dark, cool areas like closets, shoes, or under rocks.
- Why They’re Here: They’re looking for water and prey.
These stingers are no joke. With Green Machine’s expert scorpion control, we’ll ensure your home is safe and sting-free.
Rodents: Furry Intruders
Mice and rats are more than just annoying—they can chew through wires, contaminate food, and spread disease.
- How to Spot Them: Droppings, chewed food packaging, or faint scratching noises in the walls (yes, that sound you’re hearing at night might not be your imagination).
- Why They’re Here: They’re seeking food and warmth, especially during cooler months.
We’ll not only trap and remove these furry pests but also seal up entry points to keep them out for good.
