Whether you have fire ants, carpenter ants, sugar ants, or any ant in between, we have the resources to fix your ant problem. Ants are everywhere, in the backyard, kitchen and on the sidewalk.
It seems you cannot escape these pesky pests. These little scavengers can be found anywhere, from apartments, homes, to RV’s. It can be overwhelming to try and keep these critters at bay. The Unites States alone estimates about 15,000 different types of ant species, so it’s no wonder we have a hard time keeping these six-legged pests out of our living space.
With so many at home ant treatments you can drive yourself crazy trying to find a remedy to your ant problem. Unless you can track down where they are coming from and make sure you take out the queen these ants will keep returning. It is time to leave the worry behind and call a professional exterminator. We have the ability to locate exactly where the ants are coming from and we eliminate them directly from this source. Ants are great in number and persistence so they can quickly cause a lot of damage, especially carpenter ants that go after the wood in your home. If you have a problem with ants Republic Pest Control is the way to go.
Bats are mammals and are extremely beneficial to our environment.
The most common bat found in Texas is the Mexican Free-tailed Bat. It usually starts migrating up to Texas from Mexico in February. Then in October, when the weather starts to cool down, these bats head back to Mexico for the winter. One bat will eat thousands of mosquitos in just one night. A nursing mother will eat over four thousand insects each night. Living here in Texas that’s a big help.
Bats are quite scary looking and their screeching can be ear piercing. They also carry various diseases and their poop, guano, can get out of control very quickly. Bats can get into tight spaces and they love to live in your insulation. If their droppings get into your insulation you can be looking at thousands of dollars in damages. If you have a bat problem please call Republic Pest Control today. We are professionals at wildlife removal. We do not exterminate bats. We remove them and their colonies and relocate them to a more bat friendly environment.
You may view flies as just a nuisance but they are much more then that. Flies can spread various diseases such as malaria, E. coli, yellow fever, cholera, and typhoid fever to name just a few.
Flies will breed in garbage, animal feces, sewers, decaying flesh, compost piles, or anywhere that has decaying matter. This is why it is so easy for flies to spread diseases from themselves to us. When a fly enters your home from outside it could bring in with it one or more of these various diseases.
When the fly lands on your food or bites you, it transmits these microscopic germs to you. Here at Republic Pest Control our trained professional exterminators can help rid you of your fly problem. We not only destroy the adult fly, we also find where the eggs and larvae are and exterminate them too. If you need a quick tip in the meantime, using sticky flypaper will help but should only be used temporarily, as it is not a pretty site to see and does not solve the root pest problem.
You may think fleas can only be found if you have pets, but you are mistaken. Fleas can show up anywhere, even on you, in your home and certainly in your yard.
Fleas can travel on animals that come into your yard at night and leave their eggs behind, giving you a flea infestation without even knowing it. True, more often then not, most fleas do come from household pets.
These flea pest feed on the blood of your cat and or dog. Then the fleas lay eggs, which can land anywhere the animal goes to most. When the eggs hatch the fleas will find whatever is closest for them to feed on. Fleas are wingless and small insects. They have a brown and reddish color to them. Fleas are large enough to be seen easily. Since they have no wings they cannot fly but they can jump long distances. You can try to just treat the animal for fleas but this will not kill their eggs. Flea eggs are so tiny you cannot see them with the naked eye. This is why it is best to have a professional exterminator, like Republic Pest Control, come and treat your home for fleas. It will ensure that you rid your home, inside and out, from both the fleas and their eggs.
Ticks are parasites that will suck the blood of any animal it can find, including you. The worst thing about ticks is that they can transmit life-threatening diseases to you, your family, and your animals.
Some of the worst diseases ticks can spread are Lyme disease, Heartland virus, and the Bourbon virus. There are five different types of ticks that are typically found in our area. The Lone Star tick, Black Legged tick, Deer tick, Brown Dog tick, and the American dog tick are all located here in Magnolia, Texas. All range from a brownish color to a brown and red color.
Ticks have a very small head with a large body that fills up with the blood of its victim. Ticks like to live in brushy areas with lots of leaves. As our weather begins to turn cooler we see an “uptick” in ticks. They are trying to find a warm place to feed. If you see ticks on your pets, in your home, or in your yard please contact us. If you have ticks call Republic Pest Control immediately to protect you and your family.
Moles are small mammals that range from about 4inches to 6 and a half inches. They create and inhabit underground tunnels, which can ruin your well-maintained yard.
Moles will typically build their burrow under a large stump or bolder. From there, moles will dig out various entry points. These will create what looks like ripples in the ground. Moles like areas where the soil is loose and full of moisture. Areas like this are full of their favorite food, grubs and worms. Moles aren’t very dangerous to have around as far as health concerns go.
Moles rarely carry rabies but if bitten certainly seek medical attention. Most people, when bitten, experience pain at the bite site and some redness and swelling. Moreover, moles can also carry lice, fleas, and mites. The biggest concern over moles is the destruction of your lawn. It is certainly best to contact a professional mole remover, like Republic Pest Control, over trying to get rid of moles yourself. Do it yourself repellents can be very dangerous if not handled or used properly. Please call us to take care of your mole problem.
Just the thought of snakes can get ones skin crawling. Especially in our area around Magnolia, TX where we have dangerous and poisonous snakes like the copperhead snake and coral snake.
If you get bit by one of these viscous predators seek medical attention immediately. Snakes mostly live in shady and damp areas, cool and dark places. Junk piles, firewood stacks and gardens are also areas snakes will inhabit. They especially love places like overturned canoes or kayaks. Try your best to keep your lawn well maintained. Snakes also like to stay where they can find lots of food.
Snakes enjoy eating mice, rats, and frogs to name a few. They can make their way into your home through attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities. Sometimes it is hard to tell when a snake makes its home inside your house. Eventually you may start to smell an odor from their droppings, or find snakeskins about. If you do see snakes either in your home or your yard do not attempt to catch them yourself. Please call us at Republic Pest Control to remove your unwanted slithery friends.
Some people think squirrels are cute and furry little animals, other people think squirrels are just rats in fur coats. Whichever one you identify with squirrels can cause quite a lot of damage if they decide to make your home their home.
Squirrels teeth are constantly growing so squirrels are always gnawing on something. They can easily sneak their way into small gaps in your siding or roofing to enter your home. Once in, squirrels can damage your home by leaving droppings, debris from nuts they have been collecting, and by gnawing on anything they can find including home wiring. The most common squirrel found in our area is the grey squirrel. They are grey all over with white bellies.
Squirrels can also cause damage to your yard with unsightly holes in your yard and garden, which can be dangerous if you trip and fall, not realizing they are there. Here at Republic Pest Control Magnolia, we can inspect your home and give you a comprehensive plan to rid your home of squirrels and to protect your home from impending squirrel invasions.
Get rid of that mouse or rat in your house with Republic Pest Control. Do your cats keep catching rats? Hearing scratching sounds in your walls? Do you have a strong smell of rat urine coming from your attic? If so, you need some rodent control.
It is highly underestimated how tricky it can be to rid your home of these pesky pests. They do not discriminate where they find a home for themselves. Rats and mice can be found in the country and the city, in homes, apartments, RV’s, and businesses. These rodents spread diseases and contaminate food. They damage the wiring in your home and destroy anything that has nesting material for them to use. Rats and mice are nocturnal so they can be tricky to spot. They reproduce rapidly, making it hard to get rid of them on your own.
Most mice only need a quarter of an inch hole to enter your home, and a rat needs a size only slightly bigger then that. Rats are even powerful enough to bite through metal in order to find a way into your house. If you can’t see any rodents there are other ways to spot if you have a problem. Rats and mice will leave smudge marks, teeth marks, and droppings wherever they go. You may also hear rustling within the walls or smell strange odors. If you experience any of these signs, or have seen rodents in your home we’re the pest control, exterminators and wildlife relocation service you should call.
You know when you see one roach there are hundreds, if not thousands more. In the kitchen, roaches can contaminate your food and cause an unsightly mess if not stopped by pest control and by removing their food source.
Roaches seek heat so they like to live near the electrical parts of your appliances, like the back of your refrigerator next to the compressor and even dishwasher control boards, anywhere that produces heat these little pest will make their home. Once roaches turn your home into their home roaches will leave their exoskeletons and fecal matter, creating a slime that could destroy any electrical device. On extreme roach infestations you can smell upon entering the home the roaches who’ve “cooked” themselves on the appliances & electronics.
Substances that roaches leave behind also severely affects people with asthma, along with the proteins that roaches produce. Roaches are primarily nocturnal so you will most likely see them at night. If you do happen to see them during the day you might have a bigger problem then you realize. This could be due to overcrowding or food sources are getting low. A great start to getting rid of a roach infestation or to prevent one is to remove and clean food leftovers, food crumbs and maintain a clean home. Roaches are extremely resilient so it is best to call a professional exterminator like Republic Pest Control Magnolia to ensure you rid yourself of these creepy insects.
Termites are small, white, insects that feed off of wood. They live in mostly southern states and thrive off of our unpredictable weather.
These tiny bugs do wonders for our ecosystem but wreak havoc on our homes. Termites are subterranean, which means they create their tunnels and live underground. They feed off of wood located below the surface, which makes it very hard to tell when you have an infestation.
Termite pest control & termite extermination is best to be preventative, rather then reactive with termite treatment. Once you realize you have a problem, you could be looking at thousands of dollars in termite damage. Termites are not picky eaters. They will destroy porches, fences, gazebos, decks, and the list goes on. Due to their tunneled communities they are very hard to get rid of without professional treatment. Here at Republic Pest Control, we are ready and able to rid you of these formidable bugs.
If you’ve got one scorpion pest, you’ve got a hundred or so unseen. Nothing will give you the creepy crawlies faster then seeing a scorpion in your home. In Texas the scorpion you are most likely to run into is the striped bark scorpion. These scorpions range from yellowish to tan in color and have two black stripes that go down the upper surface of the abdomen.
Scorpions like to live under rocks, wooden boards, hot attics and in debris. Make sure to clear your yard of as much debris as you can to try and prevent large numbers of scorpions around your home.
Scorpions are nocturnal and will remain covered during the day and come out to explore and feed at night. If you get stung by one of these you will experience pain at the injection site with some itching and swelling. More sensitive individuals may experience a more severe reaction. Scorpions are arachnids with eight legs, two pincers, and a segmented tail that contains a sharp, venomous stinger. Moreover, they are not insects. Scorpions are considered arthropods. This is why normal insect treatments will not work on them. Here at Republic Pest Control we are suited to take care of scorpion infestations.
Nothing gives you the creepy crawlies like the mention of bed bugs, feeding on your blood while you sleep. If you have a bed bug infestation, contact Republic Pest Control Magnolia right away.
Bed bugs are tiny insects that feed on human blood, typically at night. They have an elongated beak that allows them to break through skin and they will feed, on average, for about 10 minutes at a time. Bed bugs do not discriminate, they bite anywhere on the body and leave terrible red spots on their victims. These bugs are tiny, about the size of half of your fingernail. They look similar to tiny cockroaches and ticks. Their bodies are oval shaped and they have a ruddy brown color to them.
It is very hard to see bed bugs. Although they are called bed bugs they can be found virtually anywhere in the home. They have even been found in televisions and microwaves, dressers, and carpeting. However, they do prefer beds, sofas, and chair cushions. One way to help identify if you have a bed bug infestation is to inspect your bed, sofa, or chairs for “pepper” like spots left behind. Another sign is to look for their eggs or eggshells that they have discarded. These will be a pale yellow color and easy to identify on light colored furniture. Bed bugs must be treated by a professional exterminator, so please call us today.
