Small Pests, Major Problems
Our ant pest control services eliminate common ant species like sugar ants, carpenter ants, Argentine ants, and fire ants, as well as over 50 other types of pests. If left to persist, an ant infesation may cause issues like:
- Structural damage – Certain specias can burrow into wooden structures, weakening them and leading to structural instability in severe cases. Others may chew through electrical wiring.
- Food contamination – Ants can infiltrate food storage areas, contaminating food with their feces, saliva, and bacteria, leading to health risks if consumed.
- Painful stings and allergic reactions – Fire ant stings leave the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. According to The National Center for Biotechnology Information, they can also cause severe reactions in those who are allergic.
Ants can be active any time, but they’re especially busy during certain months – typically from March through October. At Bust-A-Bug, we offer pest control plans that keep your property ant-free all year.

Signs You Need an Ant Pest Control Expert
Signs You May Have a Wasp or Hornet Problem
Wasps and hornets are always searching for safe, sheltered places to build nests. Even a small amount of activity around your roofline, porch, or bushes can be enough to signal a developing colony. While seeing a single wasp outside isn’t always a major concern, these signs often mean the problem is bigger than it first appears.
Recurrent Nesting
If you’ve knocked down nests multiple times and they keep coming back — or if wasps return to the same areas year after year — it’s a strong sign that a nearby colony or attractant is drawing them in. Professional treatment can break the cycle.
Visible Nests Around the Home
Finding nests under eaves, in porch ceilings, inside shrubs, or attached to sheds is a clear indication of active wasp or hornet activity. Even small nests can grow quickly and become dangerous.
Increased Flight Activity
Seeing multiple wasps or hornets circling one area, entering a hole in the siding, or flying in and out of bushes often means a hidden nest is nearby.
Buzzing or Movement Inside Walls
Yellowjackets frequently build nests inside wall voids. Hearing buzzing, scratching, or noticing wasps appearing indoors is a sign that the colony may be inside the structure.
Aggressive Behavior Near Certain Areas
If wasps or hornets suddenly become defensive when you approach a specific spot, it often means a nest is close — even if you can’t see it yet.
Wasp and hornet activity can impact your family’s comfort, outdoor safety, and peace of mind. If you suspect a nest on your property, give us a call — we’ll remove it safely and help prevent it from returning.
