Flying Insects​

Aerial Assault: Identifying Common Flying Pests
Homes and businesses alike can be invaded by a diverse array of flying insects, each with its unique characteristics and challenges. Understanding these pests is the first step to effective control and prevention.

​Mosquitoes, both the common varieties and the Asian Tiger ones, are more than just nuisances with their annoying buzz and itchy bites. They're also significant disease vectors, carrying illnesses like West Nile Virus and Zika Virus. Lanternflies, though less directly harmful to humans, can damage trees and crops and excrete a sticky, sweet substance that attracts other pests.

Moths, such as the Clothes, Pantry, and Gypsy moths, can infest your closets and pantries, ruining food and fabrics. Bees (Carpenter, Honey, Ground) and Wasps (Paper, Yellow Jackets, Bald-faced, European) are beneficial pollinators, but when they establish hives near human habitats, they can pose a threat, especially to those with allergies.

Flies, including House, Fruit, Drain, Cluster, Horse, and Deer Flies, are not just annoying but also potential carriers of diseases. Finally, Gnats, though small, can swarm in large numbers, proving to be a significant annoyance and potential health risk in homes and businesses alike.​

The Sting of Infestation: Impact on Homes and Businesses
The impact of these airborne pests is far-reaching. Mosquitoes pose a substantial health risk with their disease-carrying bites. Moths can destroy clothes and contaminate food, while aggressive bees or wasps can pose safety risks. Flies and gnats, besides being nuisances, can contaminate food and spread diseases, which is especially concerning for businesses in the food industry.
DIY vs. Professional Pest Control: Choosing the Right Approach
While there are plenty of DIY pest control methods available, their effectiveness varies, and misapplication can sometimes make the problem worse. Professional pest control services bring expertise and comprehensive solutions, accurately identifying pests, applying appropriate treatments, and providing prevention advice to help maintain a pest-free environment.

Prevention is key when dealing with flying pests. Keep doors and windows closed or covered with screens, maintain cleanliness, and promptly address any signs of infestation. And remember, if you find yourself dealing with a persistent or large-scale infestation, it's time to call in the professionals.
