General Pest Identification & Prevention

General pests include pests that are typically more nuisance invaders than particularly dangerous ones and are commonly seen invading human structures due to opportunity. The types of pests considered general pests in our area include crickets, centipedes, millipedes, pill bugs, moths, beetles, bees, and wasps.

These pests vary in the dangers they present to humans, and proper identification by our pest control specialists at Georgetown Pest Control is the first step to protecting your property from these invaders.

While most general pests are harmless, some present dangers to humans. Some may introduce bacteria like salmonella to your property, while others can cause allergic reactions. Moths, beetles, and pill bugs are annoying to encounter and bring the risk of destruction to your stored items and food, and stinging insects like bees and wasps present major health risks when it comes to painful stings and allergic reactions.

Dependable pest control is the best thing to avoid these dangers.

General pests are typically attracted to properties with plenty of food, water, and sheltering spaces to access. These pests mostly stay outside of human structures and will slip inside by accident for the most part as they search for favorable conditions to live in.

General pests are most commonly found outdoors in long grasses, overgrown foliage, piles of debris, wood piles, and waste disposal areas. If they slip into interior spaces, you may find general pests in basements, garages, attics, storage spaces, or near kitchens, bathrooms, and food storage areas.
