Bees - Hornets - Yellow Jackets - Wasps 

BEES

Bees are incredible pollinators vital for the growth and reproduction of numerous plant species. These fluffy gardeners of the Beesinsect world are regarded as gentle souls and are generally docile unless directly threatened. They diligently collect nectar and pollen from flowers which form their primary diet. 


 If you are experiencing problems with bees or a bee nest we can help resolve that problem. Contact  SG Pest Control Service to safely remove the nest and ensure the safety of your family and property. It's important to handle these situations with caution to avoid any potential risks or stings.

HORNETS  

Hornets are often feared for their size and potent sting as they tower over their fellow buzzing insects. They have a territorial nature and build incredible paper nests. They are reddish-brown or yellowish-brown in color, which sets them apart from their smaller counterparts. Hornets share a preference for larger prey with some yellow jackets in terms of protective behavior. They are also defensive of their nest and can deliver painful stings if provoked. However, hornets tend to be less likely to interact with humans compared to yellow jackets and are more reclusive. Known for their impressive hunting skills, they capture and dismember their prey to feed their growing colony. Their preference for larger prey makes them top-tier predators, helping regulate insects.


As a homeowner, you definitely wouldn't want a hornet's nest near your home. If you encounter hornets near your home, contact SG Pest Control Service to safely remove the nest and ensure the safety of your family and property. It's important to handle these situations with caution to avoid any potential risks or stings.

WASPS

Wasps are often misunderstood, but they serve a crucial purpose in nature. They have scavenging habits and play a role as natural pest controllers. Unlike bees, they have a sleek and slender appearance. One distinctive feature is their pronounced waist, creating an hourglass-like shape. They are hunters and carnivorous predators, enabling them to move swiftly through the air as they pursue their insect prey. They have an appetite for spiders and insects, often paralyzing them before carrying them back to the nest. When threatened or provoked, some wasp species are capable of stinging multiple times, as their stingers lack barbs and can be easily withdrawn. This ability to deliver repeated stings makes them formidable defenders of their nest and territory.

YELLOW JACKETS

Yellow jackets are small but aggressive creatures, especially during late summer. They are known for their potent stinging capability and defensive behavior, particularly when protecting their nest. Their distinctive yellow and black markings serve as a warning to potential predators. Yellow jackets are highly protective of their colonies and can display territorial aggression if they feel threatened. They may swarm and deliver painful stings if their nest is disturbed. In addition to consuming insects and spiders, they are attracted to sugary substances, including human food, which can lead to unpleasant encounters

Roaches - Spiders - Fleas - Ants

PALMETTO BUG                            

One thing you can count on in Florida is Palmetto bugs. Officially it is Eurycotis Floridana. These roaches wander indoors at times, especially in damp locations such as laundry rooms or bathrooms because they like moist, warm climates. But it would prefer to be outside and is not considered an indoor pest. But having said that when they do come inside people panic! And that's when our phone rings!


The simple thing to remember is that they do prefer the outdoors and if they are inside your home you probably left the garage door open or it was above the door when you came in and they followed you in ( I saw one of these critters above my head on the door of a home while I was treating along the baseboards, now that's a lot of nerve! )


SG Pest Control Services can help eliminate unpleasant pests and restore your to a haven. 

GREMAN COCKROACH   

But having warned you about the Palmetto bug let me mention the roach that you do not want to get established in your home, that would be the German cockroach, Blattella germanica. This roach is about ½ inch long usually and tan with streaks along its body. One thing to know about this roach is that it reproduces faster than any other residential roach ( growing from egg to adult in under 2 months and averaging 32 new baby roaches per reproductive cycle.) This particular roach has developed resistance to many of the commonly used insecticides ( that's why we always include a growth regulator in our treatments so they cannot reproduce ) 


If German cockroaches have infiltrated your home, don't hesitate to call SG Pest Control Services to start a program to eliminate these fast-reproducing insects.

SPIDERS

Many people find spiders scary but not as harmful as insects. Unlike insects, spiders do not cause food spoilage or contamination, and they do not make a mess or destroy things. While spiders do not usually spread diseases, their bites can be problematic depending on the type of spider. Pest control for spiders is often more about addressing people's fear rather than dealing with actual damage or medical issues.

 

If you're bothered by spider infestations, SG Pest Control Services can help eliminate these pests and make your home comfortable again. 

FLEAS

My pet has fleas and is scratching constantly. Fleas bite their host to feed on blood. An adult flea can lay 50 eggs a day, leading to rapid reproduction and infestation. Fleas can also feed on humans and may carry diseases. 


SG Pest Control Services can help eliminate fleas and provide relief for your pet. Treating the house and lawn is often necessary to fully rid your home of the infestation.

ANTS

Ants are incredibly strong creatures, capable of carrying 10 to 50 times their weight. They are the only insects known to assist other insects in meeting their needs, such as aiding aphids in producing honeydew, which the ants consume. While no one wants ants inside their house or in their yard, it's interesting to note that a queen ant's lifespan can reach fifteen years, outlasting the average homeowner's stay in their home by three years. Getting rid of ants can be quite challenging, as they often reappear even after you think they're gone. In addition to being a nuisance, ants can inflict painful bites if disturbed in their mound.
