Rodent Control in Staunton, VA

Rodent infestations are an unfortunate part of life for many homeowners across the nation, especially in the wintertime. It's important to understand that rodent invasions and infestations occur because of their need for food, water, and shelter, all of which become significantly more difficult to find during colder times of the year. 

Unfortunately, mice and rats are also known to carry a variety of serious diseases and parasites that threaten the health of people. What’s worse, they’re also incredibly destructive once inside residential homes. Their front teeth never stop growing, causing them to gnaw on everything they can find in order to keep them down. This can lead to significant property damage. 

While there are many do-it-yourself rodent treatment methods available, this is usually not the cheapest or most successful approach. Due to the difficulty and health hazards involved with rodent control, rodent problems are always best left to the professionals to ensure the problem is eliminated quickly and completely. 

Don’t let rodents destroy your property and put your family’s health at risk. Contact American Pest today and keep rodents out of your Staunton home for good. 

Ant Control in Staunton, VA

Homes in Staunton are typically at risk for infestation from three primary types of ants: odorous house ants, pavement ants, and carpenter ants. 

• Odorous house ants are very small and dark brown or black in color. They measure 1/8th of an inch or less and put off a very distinctive and offensive odor when crushed. The smell they make is part of what makes them such a big nuisance, but they can also pose health risks if they contaminate food items in your home. 

• Pavement ants are just slightly larger than odorous house ants. The pavement ant lives outside but invades the house foraging for food. As their name suggests, pavement ants are most commonly found on sidewalks and concrete areas outside homes.

• Carpenter ants are the most destructive type of ant found in Staunton due to their constant digging into any wood they find. They are typically much larger than other ants, sometimes averaging a ½ inch or more. The carpenter ant can become a threat to the structure of buildings by excavating and chewing tunnels through the wooden components of the building.
