Say Goodbye to Household Pests

Spot Them Early & Keep Them Out for Good

Unwanted pests aren’t just annoying—they can damage your home, spread illness, and turn your peaceful space into a battleground. At Tom’s Wildlife & Pest Control, we offer eco-friendly, effective solutions to help homeowners take back control.

Did you know 1 in 3 homes experiences a pest issue each year? Catching the problem early is key. Let’s break down how to recognize common intruders—and stop them before they settle in.

Common Household Pests

Why Timely Pest Control Matters

Pests can:

  • Carry harmful bacteria like salmonella and allergens
  • Chew through wires, insulation, or wood beams
  • Reproduce quickly, turning minor issues into major infestations

The right prevention—and a solid pest management plan—can save you stress, money, and repairs down the line.

Common Household Pests & How to Beat Them

Rats & Mice

Rodents sneak inside for food and warmth—especially in cooler months.

Spot the Signs:

  • Droppings near food or along walls
  • Scratching noises at night
  • Chewed wires or food packaging

Prevent Them:

  • Seal small cracks and gaps
  • Store food in sealed containers
  • Tightly close garbage cans

Our Promise:
We use humane, effective methods to remove rodents and stop them from coming back.

Ants (Including Carpenter Ants)

While tiny, ants can cause big problems—especially if they’re nesting in your home’s structure.

Signs of Trouble:

  • Long trails of ants in kitchens or near doors
  • Fine sawdust (often from carpenter ants)

Simple Prevention:

  • Wipe up crumbs and spills
  • Repair leaks and moisture issues
  • Block off entry points

Our Approach:
We eliminate the colony at its source—not just the ones you see.

Cockroaches

Fast-moving and hard to spot, roaches love damp kitchens and bathrooms. They also trigger allergies and asthma.

Red Flags:

  • Foul, musty smells
  • Tiny black droppings
  • Shed skins or egg casings

What Helps:

  • Fix plumbing leaks
  • Clean frequently—especially at night
  • Don’t leave pet food sitting out

Our Solution:
We use family-safe treatments to get rid of infestations fast.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs spread easily and hide in the smallest places—from mattress seams to suitcases.

What to Look For:

  • Itchy, red bite clusters
  • Rust-colored stains on sheets
  • Tiny black spots on furniture

Stop the Spread:

  • Inspect luggage or secondhand items
  • Wash bedding in hot water
  • Vacuum after traveling

We’ve Got It Handled:
Our professional heat and pesticide treatments are proven to eliminate bed bugs fast.

Spiders

Most are harmless—but an increase in spider sightings often signals other bugs in the home.

Signs You’ll Notice:

  • Webs in corners, basements, or windows
  • Frequent spider appearances

Keep Them Away:

  • Reduce clutter
  • Use pest-proof lighting outside
  • Seal doors and windows

Our Tactic:
We treat for spiders and the bugs they feed on, cutting off their food source.

Smart Prevention Tips

Here’s how to protect your home year-round:

  1. Close up entry points (even tiny cracks can be a doorway)
  2. Keep things clean—no crumbs, no pests
  3. Fix leaks and manage humidity
  4. Get regular inspections to catch issues early

Our team uses safe, eco-conscious strategies to protect what matters most your loved ones and your space.
