Sugar Ants & Odorous House Ants
Small ants that move indoors looking for food and moisture. Usually show up in kitchens and bathrooms. Treating just where you see them is rarely enough — the colony needs treatment at the source.

Common Pests
A short field guide to the pests Redstone Pest Control treats most often. Not sure what you're dealing with? Call us and we'll help you sort it out.
Fire Ants
Build mounds yards, especially after rain. A serious problem around play areas, walkways, and pets. Treat mounds directly along with broadcast yard treatment for lasting results.
Carpenter Ants
Larger ants often found around damp wood, roof lines, and exterior trim. Different treatment than sugar ants. Often a sign of moisture or wood issues nearby.
German Roaches
Small roaches that live and breed indoors, usually in kitchens and bathrooms. Reproduce fast. Treatment usually takes more than one visit and requires targeted indoor application.
American Roaches (Water Bugs / Palmetto Bugs)
Larger roaches that live mostly outside and wander in through drains, garages, and gaps along the foundation. Exterior treatment and sealing entry points is the long-term fix.
Brown Recluse Spiders
Show up in older homes, attics, garages, and storage areas. We treat with targeted application, exterior barrier treatment, and clutter-reduction guidance.
Common House Spiders
Build webs around eaves, porches, and outdoor lighting. Most exterior web problems come from common house spiders feeding on insects pulled in by lights.
Wasps & Paper Wasps
Build nests under eaves, porches, sheds, and play sets through the warmer months. We remove active nests and apply residual treatment to discourage rebuilds.
Roof Rats & Norway Rats
Common in attics, garages, and crawl spaces, especially as the weather cools. Solved with inspection, trapping, and exclusion work to seal entry points.
House Mice
Smaller and faster-reproducing than rats. Often get into pantries, garages, and walls. Treated with trapping, exclusion, and follow-up service.
Subterranean Termites
The most common termite type. Build mud tubes and feed on wood from below. We offer pre-treatments, bait stations, and a premium rod treatment for active infestations.
Silverfish, Earwigs & Centipedes
Moisture-loving insects that show up in bathrooms, garages, and basements. Covered under general pest service.
