There are many types of bees and wasps, and the most common in central Pennsylvania are listed below. If you've noticed finger-sized holes in the wood on the outside of your house, you likely have a carpenter bee problem. These bees are about 1 long, and are mostly black in color, with a fuzzy, yellow thorax and smooth, black abdomen. Carpenter bees chew through wood in order to make their nests. Female carpenter bees are the burrowers, and males are the protectors of the nest. Females have the ability to sting, but you will likely not encounter one because they are often inside their nests.

Much like mice, rats are also common invaders of manmade structures, and are notorious pests to humans. Rats carry harmful bacteria and diseases, contaminate surfaces and food, and damage property. Do you have a rat problem in your house? Don't hesitate to call us and set up a consultation with a pest control professional. Rats are small rodents, typically brown or gray-brown in color, and are typically 12-15 long including their tail, which is hairless and scaly. Rats have large front teeth that are ideal for gnawing, and have strong legs that allow them to travel quickly and climb effectively.

Bed bugs are a common pest in central Pennsylvania. They infest clothing, beds, couches, and other areas where they can hide easily. Although they are not considered disease transmitters, bed bugs can leave you and your family with several bites and create a generally unclean environment in your home. If you think you have a bed bug problem, do not hesitate to contact us. Bed bugs are tiny insects that feed on human blood and will typically bite at night, giving them their name. They prefer dark, concealed locations, are common in high-density areas, and are avid travelers.
