Barn Swallows

Barn Swallows are beautiful in nature, but a terrible nuisance when they make their nests on homes or other buildings. Swallow nests are made of mud and can be found attached to brick, stucco, or wood siding. Their populations can double or even triple in a single year and It doesn't take long before your building feels like a bird sanctuary.

Muddy nests damage and deface or stain whatever surface they are built upon. The area below becomes dirty and dangerous because of all the droppings and urine. Feces can extend down walls and cover the ground beneath nest sites.

The fecal bacteria can contain histoplasmosis, salmonella, meningitis, and other diseases.

COCKROACH

Cockroaches are not only undesirable pests but a threat to health by consuming food and contaminating the indoor environment.

Cockroaches are known to transfer disease pathogens, such as the various bacteria that produce “food poisoning” in humans, by contaminating food, food preparation surfaces, dishes and eating utensils. The roach’s greatest impact on human health may be its ability to trigger asthma. Cockroach nymphs grow by periodically shedding their “skin”. Pieces of their exoskeletons, along with cockroach feces, serve as antigens that, when inhaled, cause allergic and asthmatic reactions.

FLEA

In addition to itchy bites, fleas can transmit diseases and possibly affect you and your pet's health if they are not controlled. Fleas feed on the skin of animals all over the world.

Female fleas can lay 30-50 eggs per day on their host and many of the eggs can fall off of the pet and end up in the carpet, furniture, pet bedding, or other locations. They hatch into larvae in about a week. After feeding on dried blood left behind by the adults, the larvae spin a cocoon and change into adults. That is why it's important to focus on both the pet and the living environment when controlling fleas.

Calling Steffel Pest Control today and letting us take action before the fleas are abundant will control any infestations.

RAT & MICE

Rodents are warm-blooded mammals that, like humans, can be found throughout the world. They have over-sized front teeth for gnawing and check teeth, which are adapted for chewing. Rodents chew on a variety of items known to damage buildings, contaminate food and pass diseases.

Rodents’ biology and habits can make them challenging to control, and they present a serious menace to your home.

SPIDERS

Tens of thousands of spider species have been identified throughout the world. These arachnids have eight legs and two body segments. Spiders have three or four pair of eyes. Many spiders have poor vision, but some species of spiders, such as the jumping spider, have exceptional vision.

Spiders are capable of producing silk that is elastic, adhesive and strong. This silk is used to spin webs as well as to construct egg sacs and line spider dwellings. The size and shape of spider webs vary by species: some are orb-shaped, while others are funnel-shaped; some webs are orderly, while others appear haphazard. Some spider species live in burrows rather than webs, while others are free ranging and take refuge in crevices.

Don’t let spiders take over your home or office. Steffel Pest Control will take care of any creeping creatures invading your space.

CENTIPEDE / MILLIPEDE

We offer the best solutions to get rid of your existing centipede / Millipede problems and preventing them from coming back.

Millipedes and centipedes are similar pests. Though they may be unusually repulsive, they are not a major threat to people or animals.

Centipedes tend to be the largest. They can grow up to six inches in length. A centipede can be easily distinguished from a millipede because it has fewer legs; one set for every segment of its body. Millipedes have two sets of legs for every segment, and when they move, their legs appear to be moving in a wave motion. A millipede's legs are also shorter and cannot move very fast. A centipede, with its fewer legs, can travel faster.

WASPS

Bees and wasps can be a threat to human health. Every year, up to 100 people die from bee and wasp stings. Most die from an allergic reaction to their venom within one hour of the sting. About 1 percent of the population is allergic to bee and wasp venom.

CRICKETS

Crickets are considered to be good luck in a number of cultures but chirping crickets can be of great annoyance in the home. The common house cricket is closely related to grasshoppers and locusts. They shed their skins several times in their lifetime. It takes about two to three months to complete this cycle in warm temperatures and a bit longer in cooler climates. After all that work they only live for 2 to 3 months.

Bats

Bats are commonly feared by many, causing a threat to bat populations around the world. They can be found living in almost any conceivable shelter, though they are best known for living in caves. Many that live in buildings do so because of shrinking natural habitat. It's common for bats to roost in attics or eaves of homes or commercial buildings.

Bats are a very unpleasant guest in your home; they are noisy, have a musky odor and leave droppings in their roosting location.

Bats are relentless, which is why it would be helpful to hire a professional to remove the bat but to examine and repair your home to eliminate the chance of future bat getting in.
