Find what pest is bugging you:
In the vast ecosystem of potential pests that could be bugging you, the Eco Mouse Pest Library serves as an invaluable resource for identifying and understanding these nuisances. Among the most common pests are rodents like mice and rats, notorious for their ability to infiltrate homes and businesses alike. These critters often seek shelter, warmth, and a steady food supply, making human habitats ideal targets. Through the Eco Mouse Pest Library, you can learn to recognize signs such as gnaw marks, droppings, or even faint odors indicating their presence. Knowing these indicators enables proactive measures such as sealing entry points, setting traps, or utilizing eco-friendly deterrents to prevent infestations before they escalate.
Additionally, the library sheds light on other potential intruders such as insects and arachnids. From ants invading kitchen pantries to spiders spinning webs in corners, each species has its own habits and vulnerabilities. By familiarizing yourself with the distinctive characteristics and behaviors outlined in the Eco Mouse Pest Library, you can better safeguard your home against unwanted guests. Implementing preventive measures like maintaining cleanliness, eliminating standing water, and securing food sources will not only mitigate current pest problems but also create a less inviting environment for future infestations. Ultimately, the Eco Mouse Pest Library equips homeowners with the knowledge needed to identify, address, and prevent pest-related challenges effectively and responsibly.

Ants
In the air, carpet, counter or cupboard, every home shares it’s resources with these tiny, often unseen invaders.
Hornets have stings used to kill prey and defend hives. Hornet stings are more painful to humans than typical wasp stings because hornet venom contains a large amount (5%) of acetylcholine. Individual hornets can sting multiple times; unlike typical bees, hornets and wasps do not die after stinging because their stingers are not barbed and are not pulled out of their bodies.
Cockroaches are attracted to warm, moist environments. They spend the daylight hours in dark, secluded sites under refrigerators, stoves, false bottoms in kitchen cabinets, in the backs of cabinets and in crevices between baseboards and floors or cabinets and walls.
Bed bugs can cause a number of health effects, including skin rashes, psychological effects, and allergic symptoms. They are able to be infected by at least 28 human pathogens, but no study has clearly found that the insect is able to transmit the pathogen to a human being. Bed bug bites or cimicosis may lead to a range of skin manifestations from no visible effects to prominent blisters.
Mice and rats are remarkably well-adapted for living year-round in homes, food establishments, and other structures. Homeowners are especially likely to notice mice and rats during winter, following their fall migration indoors in search of warmth, food, and shelter. Once established inside a home, they can be extremely difficult to control.
The diversity of beetles is very wide. They are found in all major habitats, except marine and the polar regions. They have many classes of ecological effects; particular species are adapted to practically every kind of diet. Some are nonspecialist detritus feeders, breaking down animal and plant debris; some feed on particular kinds of carrion such as flesh or hide; some feed on wastes such as dung; some feed on fungi, some on particular species of plants, others on a wide range of plants. Some are generalist pollen, flower and fruit eaters. Some are predatory, usually on other invertebrates; some are parasites or parasitoids.
Fleas usually gain entry to your home through your pet or visitors’ pets. As many as 30 times the fleas you see can be alive in the pet’s environment.
Under most conditions outdoors, spiders are considered beneficial because they feed on insects. However, they are undesirable to most homeowners when indoors, and the unsightly webbing spiders use to catch insect prey usually outweigh this beneficial behavior. From black widows and recluse spider to hobo spiders and all the rest, we’ll exterminate them.
When centipede and millipede habitats are near a home’s foundation, centipedes will wander inside where they may be found at floor level almost anywhere.
