Beeline Pest Control is a full service provider of reliable and safe pest control methods for your families protection

Your home is your castle, your haven from the world around you. While entertaining certain guests in your home can be a great way to connect with people in a quieter, more comfortable setting than a public venue would offer, it’s important to be able to do so on your own terms. Any number of unwanted visitors here in Texas have the power to put a damper on your home life. Though some drop-in friends or relatives may fall into this category, those guests outside the human species are actually cause for the greatest concern.

At Beeline Pest Control, this is our specialty. Since we’re locally owned and operated, we have firsthand knowledge of and experience with the local invaders interested in moving into your home without an invitation. Our state is home to a variety of pests. They won’t call to let you know they’re on their way or knock before coming inside, and they certainly aren’t willing to abide by any sort of tenancy contract. Evicting them tends to be a particularly tricky undertaking without the help of a skilled Texas pest control service.

Termites

Termites

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.

bed bug

Bed Bugs

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.

roof rat

Rats

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.

rats

Rodents

Should an expecting female rat slip through the cracks of your home, she’s likely to bring six tiny newcomers into the world within three weeks. Just over a month later, those little fellows are grown and ready to start new families of their own. They’re also capable of calling to others nearby without humans hearing. A single rat, or a family of them, could invite additional unwanted guests into your home while you’re trying to get rid of the ones already there.
Garden Spider

Spiders

If you’re struggling under the burden of a spider problem, let us come out to survey your property today. We can provide you with an accurate analysis of the type of spiders invading your property, what the danger level is, the cost, and the amount of time it will take our team to complete an extermination. You may not be aware of the danger some arachnids can cause, but don’t let a venomous bite or a severe infestation be the reason you call us. Contact us beforehand and prevent the problem from spreading by picking up the phone and calling Beeline today.
cockroach

Cockroaches

Cockroaches breed rapidly, so seeing one in the home typically means there are numerous others hidden in walls and floors that cannot be seen. They prefer to come out at night when it is dark, so any sign of cockroach activity during the day is cause for concern. This often means there isn’t enough space for all of them and they are searching for new places to hide. As a result, the home likely has a severe infestation.
This remains a question many humans would love to know the answer to. What people often don’t realize is certain species are beneficial to the planet, as they help to recycle organic material that is decaying. Obviously, however, some species carry diseases that are harmful to humans, and these are the ones that should be eliminated from the home.
Wasp

Wasps and Bees

If you do find a nest that is larger than your fist it is time to call in pest control professionals. We offer both commercial and residential pest control services. Do not put yourself or your family at risk in trying to handle these annoying wasps by yourself. Beeline Pest Control serves customers quickly and professionally.

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.

Ant bridge

Ants

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.

Scorpion

Scorpions

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.

centipedes thumb

Centipedes

Preferring damp, moist areas, centipedes are frequently found in basements, storage areas and bathrooms. Outdoors, they tend to be under an accumulation of leaves, under stones, decaying firewood, mulch, etc. Generally, they are active at night. Although centipedes can bite, the bite is seldom worse than a bee sting.
Centipedes are mostly a nuisance pest, but can bite humans. However, this is not generally a serious concern. Young centipedes are usually not able to penetrate skin, and bites from larger centipedes usually only cause minor irritation similar to mild bee stings.
Mosquito biting human

Mosquitoes

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.

earwing thumb

Earwigs

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.

flea thumb

Fleas

Humans and their pets have lived in conflict with fleas for hundreds of years. Feeding exclusively on warm blood, fleas torment animals with their bites, and they are not overly particular about whose blood they drink. While different species of the insect are associated with different mammal hosts (mainly cats, dogs, and rats), they are all just as happy to feast on humans when a dog or cat isn’t in reach. Unfortunately for residents of San Antonio, fleas thrive in a warm and humid climate. Consequently, many pet owners—and their neighbors—suffer from flea infestations, especially in the spring and summer months.
Moth thumb

Moths

There are thousands of species of moths. However, there are only a few that you’ll usually encounter in Texas households. There are two different kinds of moths that we often see in Texas areas: moths in closets, or moths in the pantry. The pantry-dweller is known as the Indian mealmoth, also called a grain moth, weevil moth, or pantry moth.
Moths are attracted to natural fibers, like wool or silk. Closet moths like dark, undisturbed places and are very secretive. If you do catch a glimpse of these moths, you’ll notice that they’re buff-colored, and usually 2-5 cm in length.

Can I do pest control myself?

You can try to do pest control yourself, but it’s often best to leave it to the professionals.

Whatever your situation, be sure to contact a pest control company for more information so that you can get rid of your pest problem safely and effectively.
