Termites damage buildings by consuming wood structures, leading to structural failure. These destructive pests form colonies that remain hidden until extensive damage occurs, making early inspection and control crucial.

Rodents, including mice and rats, attack building elements such as wires, insulation materials, and structural components. Their urine and droppings create major health risks, and they multiply quickly by hiding in ceiling spaces, walls, and under floors.

Cockroaches thrive in damp, hidden areas. They carry diseases, cause allergic reactions, and leave surfaces contaminated. The presence of cockroaches is often indicated by exterior vents in kitchens, basements, and bathrooms, signalling poor conditions and possible pest activity.

Spiders typically inhabit low-light areas, staying hidden in basements and attics. Their presence often indicates larger insect issues. Venomous species, such as the redback and recluse spiders, pose a medical risk if detected.

Ants enter buildings in search of food and water. Carpenter ants can damage wooden structures. Small openings provide entry points, allowing ants to build extensive nests inside walls and under floors.

Wasps and bees build nests in wall cavities, eaves, and attics. Their stings pose risks, especially to people with allergies. Bee infestations require careful management to prevent damage to the building and to avoid injury.

Bed bugs feed on blood and hide in mattresses, furniture, and crevices. Their bites cause skin irritation and discomfort. Early detection through inspections is vital as their removal can be challenging.

Fleas and ticks enter homes through pets and settle in carpets, upholstery, and cracks. These pests transmit diseases and cause allergic reactions. Inspections help identify hidden infestations, especially in unoccupied buildings or those with pets.
