It's Time to identify your pest
No two pests are exactly alike, making it difficult to keep track of the problems each one causes. Our Pest Library is here to help. It highlights the most common Greensboro pests and gives information about what each one looks like, the problems they cause, and what to do when they get into your home or commercial facility.
Ants
Ants are small but mighty creatures. The body is separated into three parts—the head, thorax, and gaster (the part of the abdomen behind the waist).
Bed Bugs
Bedbugs are small, reddish-brown parasitic insects that bite the exposed skin of sleeping humans and animals to feed on their blood.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches have a relatively small head and a broad, flattened body, and most species are reddish-brown to dark brown.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes have a slender segmented body, one pair of wings, one pair of halteres, three pairs of long hair-like legs, and elongated mouthparts. Mosquitoes can develop from egg to adult in 10 to 14 days.
Occasional Invaders
Occasional Invaders could be anything from centipedes to scorpions. Not sure what pest you have? Let us help identify it!
