Pest Control Services For Special Pests

Carpenter ants are large black or reddish-brown ants that can cause significant damage to your home by tunneling through wood to build their nests. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood but chew through it to create smooth tunnels, compromising the structural integrity of your property over time. These ants are often attracted to moist or decaying wood, which makes homes with water damage particularly vulnerable.

At Mares Exterminating, we offer targeted solutions to control carpenter ant infestations and protect your home or business. Our process starts with a detailed inspection to locate nests and identify conditions that attract carpenter ants. We target the colony using advanced treatments and implement measures to prevent re-infestation. Whether sealing entry points or addressing moisture issues, our Master Pest Technicians will ensure your home stays protected from these destructive pests.

Carpenter bees may look similar to bumblebees, but their behavior sets them apart. These solitary insects burrow into wood to create nests, leaving behind perfectly round holes. Over time, their tunneling can weaken wooden structures like decks, fences, and siding, especially when generations of bees reuse and expand the same tunnels. While they aren't aggressive, carpenter bees can become a nuisance and cause costly damage to your property.

At Mares Exterminating, we provide effective treatments to manage carpenter bees and protect your home. Our Master Technicians begin with a thorough inspection to identify active nesting sites. We address your carpenter bee issue and deter future infestations using targeted pest control treatments. We also recommend solutions to repair and seal damaged wood, preventing bees from returning and safeguarding your property for the long term.

Fleas are tiny, fast-moving pests that feed on the blood of animals and humans, often leaving behind itchy, red bites. They are notorious for hitching rides on pets, quickly spreading throughout your home by infesting carpets, furniture, and bedding. Fleas can reproduce rapidly, with a single female laying up to 50 eggs per day, making infestations challenging to control without professional help.

At Mares Exterminating, we provide comprehensive flea treatments to eliminate these pests at every life stage. Our Master Technicians perform a detailed inspection to identify flea activity and infestation hotspots. We use targeted treatments to break the flea life cycle, addressing adults and eggs to ensure lasting relief. For ongoing protection, we offer treatments in the spring and fall to keep flea populations under control year-round. To maximize effectiveness, we also provide guidance on preparing your home and treating your pets to prevent re-infestation. With our proven methods, we'll help you reclaim your home from these pesky invaders.

Fire ants are aggressive, stinging pests known for their painful bites and the large mounds they build in yards and open areas. These ants can quickly take over outdoor spaces, making it unsafe for families and pets to enjoy their yards. Fire ants are highly resilient and will readily relocate their colony if disturbed, making them difficult to eliminate without professional expertise.

At Mares Exterminating, we specialize in effective fire ant control to protect your property. Our technicians begin with a thorough inspection to locate fire ant mounds and assess the extent of the infestation. Using targeted treatments, we eliminate the colony at its source, preventing ants from relocating and reestablishing. Our customized solutions address current infestations and help prevent fire ants from returning, ensuring your yard remains safe and enjoyable.

German cockroaches are among the most common and troublesome pests in homes and businesses. These small, light-brown cockroaches are fast breeders, making infestations proliferate if left untreated. They are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas with easy access to food and moisture. Beyond being a nuisance, German cockroaches can carry harmful bacteria, contaminate food, and trigger allergies and asthma in sensitive individuals.

At Mares Exterminating, we provide expert solutions to eliminate German cockroaches and prevent their return. Our process begins with a thorough inspection to identify cockroach activity, entry points, and harborage areas. We then use targeted treatments to disrupt the cockroaches' life cycle and control the infestation. Additionally, we provide guidance on sanitation and exclusion methods to keep your home or business cockroach-free for the long term. Our proven methods allow you to reclaim your space from these persistent pests.

Pantry pests, such as grain beetles, flour moths, and weevils, can infest stored food items like flour, rice, cereal, and dried fruits. These pests often enter your home through contaminated products or packaging and can spread quickly, ruining food supplies and causing frustration. Once pantry pests establish themselves, they can be challenging to eliminate without professional intervention.

At Mares Exterminating, we offer effective solutions to tackle pantry pest infestations. Our process starts with a detailed inspection to identify the source of the problem and locate infested items.

Yellow jackets are aggressive stinging pests known for their bright yellow and black stripes and painful stings. Unlike bees, yellow jackets can sting multiple times, making them a serious threat when disturbing their nests. These pests build nests in the ground, walls, or other concealed areas, and their colonies can grow quickly, especially during late summer and early fall.

At Mares Exterminating, we provide expert yellow jacket control to protect your home and family. Our licensed technicians will identify the nest location and safely eliminate it using targeted treatments designed to remove the entire colony. We take precautions to minimize risks during the process, ensuring a safe and effective solution. With our professional help, you can reclaim your outdoor spaces from these unwelcome and potentially dangerous pests.

Mosquitoes might be tiny, but they sure know how to ruin a good time outdoors! These buzzing pests love warm, humid weather and are most active at dawn and dusk. Female mosquitoes are the real culprits. They need a blood meal to lay their eggs, leaving you with those itchy, red bites as a parting gift.

Mosquitoes are more than just annoying—they can also be dangerous. Known for spreading diseases like West Nile, Zika, and malaria, they breed quickly in standing water. From birdbaths to forgotten puddles, their populations don't take much to explode. And when they're not buzzing around you, mosquitoes like to hang out in shady spots like shrubs and tall grass, just waiting for their next meal. Having Mares on your side is the first step to keeping mosquitoes out of your yard and out of your way!

Ticks are tiny, blood-sucking pests that can pose significant problems for both people and pets. These arachnids thrive in grassy, wooded, and shaded areas, often hitching a ride when you or your pets brush past their hiding spots. Once attached, they feed on blood, which can take several days, and may transmit serious diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis.

Ticks are active in warmer months, but some species can remain a threat year-round in milder climates. Common ticks include the black-legged (deer tick), American dog tick, and lone star tick, each carrying its own risks. Ticks are sneaky. They are small, quiet, and easy to miss until they've latched on.

The key to avoiding ticks is our tick prevention treatments.
