Bugs

Since the primary termite found in Texas is a subterranean variety, the single easiest sign of termites is the mud tunnels they build on foundations between the ground and a home’s wood components. However, there is a significant reason to consider contacting Beeline Pest Control for an evaluation of your property before visible signs are detected. Before any actual treatments can begin, it’s important to understand the type of problem present. Termites are not always visible, which means the Beeline Pest Control experts must first determine where the pests are entering the home and how much damage is already present. That isn’t always easy, which makes it even more important that homeowners contact an expert as soon as any sign of an infestation is noted.

While a variety of insects create issues for San Antonio, Texas homeowners, bed bugs are one of the more difficult ones to eradicate. For years, bed bugs were virtually non-existent in the United States as commonly-employed insecticides were highly effective at eliminating them. Modern regulations controlling the use of those pesticides resulted in a resurgence of the bugs, and they are now once again routinely seen in Texas. Today, it’s all too common for homeowners to become hosts and experience uncomfortable bites while they’re sleeping.

The two main species of rats in Texas that homeowners and business owners alike encounter are the Norway rat and the Roof rat. Here are the key differences between them and why you need to be wary of them.
Rats are mammals and they are also very efficient breeders. With colder weather beginning to come in they are going to be searching for warmer and more comfortable places to live. There are a few different species of rats in Texas but they are all wanting to take advantage of your food, water, shelter, and any other resources that they can get their hands on.

Regular old Paper Wasps are the most common kind we get here in Texas. Nearly every home in Texas has at least one nest on it but we often see homes with anywhere from 5 to 25 nests on them.

Ants are small, brown insects that range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. They have long, antennae and a narrow waist. Ants live in nearly every environment on Earth. They build nests out of dirt and often build them underground. Ants are not aggressive and will only bite humans if they feel threatened. Some ants, like the red fire ant, can be dangerous to humans if they are allergic to their venom. They can be difficult to treat as they will relocate to new areas when ants start dying off.

Scorpions are eight-legged creatures that range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. They are usually brown or black and have a long, tail with a stinger on the end. Scorpions live in warm environments and are often found in deserts or tropical areas. They are not aggressive and will only sting humans if they feel threatened. Some scorpions, like the deathstalker, can be dangerous to humans if they are allergic to their venom.

Scorpions are not generally found inside human structures and are considered transient pests that accidentally enter a home. Scorpions can be found under the house or in areas with water (e.g., bathroom, laundry room, etc.). Sealing windows and doors and caulking any cracks in the foundation will discourage scorpions from entering a structure.

We understand how you just want to enjoy your little slice of outside in comfort, but nothing ruins that faster than mosquitoes. We’ll help you reduce the mosquito population around your home so you can have those summer nights you dream of.
At Beeline, we know how frustrating and uncomfortable it can be to have mosquitoes buzzing around your yard, driving you and your family indoors rather than enjoying the good weather. Mosquito control is a vital aspect of keeping your family safe and comfortable. Their itchy bites can spread harmful diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile virus, and Zika virus.

The most common type of earwig found in the yards of Texas residents, is an exotic species called the European earwig. These earwigs are easy to recognize from their cerci, which is the large, pincer-like appendages on the hind end. Cerci are used in self-defense and courtship and will deliver only a mild pinch to humans. The earwigs body is elongated, flat and red-brown in color. Earwigs range in length from one-fourth inch to almost one and a half inches long. Adult earwigs have a short pair of leathery wings covering a folded pair of membranous wings. They are weak fliers and move mostly by crawling.
