Due to their fast breeding and small stature, bed bugs have the potential to infest your residence quickly. If you suspect a bed bug problem, reach out to us today.

Carpenter ants don't eat wood like termites; instead, they excavate tunnels in wood to build their nests. While they prefer decaying or water-damaged wood, they can infest sound wood with favorable conditions.

Signs of a carpenter ant infestation include sawdust-like material (frass) near nest sites, rustling sounds coming from walls or ceilings, and winged reproductive ants (swarmers) indoors, particularly in the spring.

Our carpenter ant service includes a thorough inspection, targeted treatments, and ongoing prevention strategies tailored to your pest needs.

Carpenter bees, found worldwide, primarily nest in soft, untreated wood like dead branches, structures, fences, and outdoor furniture, although they may also target painted or stained wood.

While carpenter bees don't directly endanger human health like some stinging insects, their activity can severely compromise wooden structures over time, weakening beams, decks, and other items. Moreover, the sawdust-like material they expel from nest holes can cause surface staining.

Keep carpenter bees from taking up residence. Contact Preferred Pest for reliable carpenter bee solutions.

Ticks reproduce quickly and can thrive in various habitats, making it difficult to eradicate them without proper intervention.

Yellow jackets are most active in late summer and early fall when their population peaks. They will aggressively defend their nest if threatened. Unlike honeybees, which typically only sting once before dying, yellowjackets can sting multiple times, and their stings are painful and can cause allergic reactions. Furthermore, if they establish nests near buildings, they pose a risk of property damage. Yellow jackets can chew through wood and insulation, potentially resulting in structural damage.

Controlling yellowjackets can be challenging due to their aggressive nature and the location of their nests. If you notice a yellow jacket nest near your home, contact Preferred Pest Control.

We can safely remove yellowjacket nests and provide advice on preventing future infestations. Additionally, sealing entry points and eliminating food sources can help deter yellowjackets from nesting near homes and outdoor areas.
