Pests belong outside, not in your home! We know all the ins and outs about pests and how to keep them out of your life. Here are some of the most common pests and how we treat them:
Some ants bite, some sting, most contaminate our food, and some even spread bacterial & fungal pathogens. Some over-the-counter products can even make ant problems worse! Different types of ants require different treatments. Our pest control experts will identify and treat your specific ant problem effectively and conveniently – guaranteed. We provide year-round solutions for most common ant issues through our Once-A-Year Pest Protection Program.

There are thousands of types of cockroaches. If you have seen one, you have NOT seen them all. Safer Home Services will eliminate your cockroaches quickly. Every single one. And we’ll keep them out for a whole year through our Once-A-Year Pest Protection Program.

They include moths, weevils, and small beetles. We inspect for pantry pests and have solutions to prevent them through our Once-A-Year Pest Protection Program.
Pillbugs, also known as sowbugs and rollie pollies, are attracted to damp environments. Their diet includes decaying organic matter, which can lead to potential sanitation concerns. We provide year-round control of pillbugs through our Once-A-Year Pest Protection Program.

Spiders can and do bite humans but two well-known spiders are dangerous to humans – the Black Widow and Brown Recluse. Their venom is neurotoxic, which affects the nervous system. An important part of controlling spiders is the elimination and disruption of their webs and a reduction of their food supply. We provide year-round control of spiders through our Once-A-Year Pest Protection Program.
Fleas are a nuisance for pets and humans alike. In addition to carrying disease, their bites can cause intense itching and skin irritation.

Though some wasps are more aggressive than others, most wasps will only bother you if they feel threatened. Keep a safe distance from nests and if you do find yourself near a wasp, remain calm.

We provide year-round control of wasps through our Once-A-Year Pest Protection Program.
House crickets are attracted to food crumbs and can contaminate your living spaces, posing a risk to your hygiene and health. They can also keep you up all night with their chirping!

Centipedes have a preference for damp and dark environments. This leads them to inhabit basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces, where they can multiply rapidly.

Often mistaken as fruit flies, drain flies are drawn to moisture and drains that aren’t cleaned on a regular basis.

Our pest control experts efficiently locate and treat these designated breeding sites. And we’ll even keep drain flies out year-round through our Once-A-Year Pest Protection Program.
Fungus Gnats are not only a nuisance but can also pose various health and hygiene risks.

Earwigs are attracted to moisture, which can lead them to congregate in bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet areas.
