ants

Ants can enter your home from anywhere. Typically they are after water or food found in the kitchen. Remember that if you see one ant, there may be hundreds of thousands not too far away. That's why most over-the-counter products that kill on contact don't work. Aptive’s residual products attack and destroy the nests, greatly decreasing the chance of re‐infestation.

argentine ant
The argentine ant is one of the most common species in the country. It is brown in color and is primarily a sweet eater. It is one of the most difficult ants to control because it has a tendency to set up multiple satellite colonies to ensure domination over a greater area. You can find these ants crawling around electrical outlets, kitchen counters and bathroom ceilings at any time of the year.

pharaoh ant
Only 1/16-inch, these tiny golden-amber ants require a warm climate to survive. They hide their nests in well protected areas such as wall voids. A single colony can support several million worker ants. This ant commonly uses the electrical wiring and plumbing pipes inside walls as "highways" to travel from room to room.

cockroaches

Like most pests, cockroaches can enter your home through a variety of ways: cracks, windows, etc. Believe it or not, cockroaches are often carried into your home via boxes and grocery bags. If you see one you haven’t seen them all — the few cockroaches you see likely means they have been forced out by overcrowding; a possible sign of severe infestation. Cockroaches are extremely good at hiding, and their eggs are naturally protected from pesticides. Without special equipment and know-how, cockroach control is nearly impossible without the help of a professional.

rodents

Rodents can be a nuisance for any home. Rodents' ability to chew through almost anything not only gives them easy access, but can cause thousands of dollars in damage if not handled immediately. Rodents also transmit a number of dangerous diseases, and typically leave droppings of excrement throughout the home. Professional traps and the knowledge of rodent habits can ensure quick elimination and control. Our specialist's well-trained eye will know the best places to set traps and baita boxes.

deer mouse
This mouse makes its home outdoors in sheltered areas such as hollow tree logs or piles of debris. On rare occasions the deer mouse comes indoors, and prefers undisturbed areas such as attics. The deer mouse transmits the potentially fatal Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. The disease can be transmitted through contact with mouse carcasses, or by breathing in aerosolized urine droplets of infected deer mice.
