Common pests we treat in Block Island

Mice & Rats in Block Island

Rodents are among the most common cold-season pests in the Block Island area, and trapping alone rarely ends an infestation. A licensed exterminator seals entry points across your home and Washington County property so new rodents can't simply replace the ones removed.

Ants in Block Island

From sugar ants on the counter to carpenter ants in the framing, Block Island households see a range of species — and the wrong store-bought spray can split a colony into several. A exterminator identifies the species and uses non-repellent baits that wipe out the entire nest.

Wasps & Hornets in Block Island

A wasp or hornet nest near a Block Island doorway is a stinging hazard that's risky to tackle alone. A licensed exterminator treats the nest at dusk when the colony is calm and removes it once the activity stops.

Fleas & Ticks in Block Island

Fleas and ticks ride in on pets and breed deep in Block Island carpets and yards, and ticks can transmit Lyme disease. A exterminator treats the home and yard with products that break the life cycle while you keep pets on vet-approved preventives.

Cockroaches in Block Island

Spotting a roach during the day in Block Island usually means a large hidden population. A licensed exterminator treats harborage with baits and growth regulators and coaches you on the sanitation that keeps roaches from coming back.

Bed Bugs in Block Island

A bed bug problem in Block Island isn't about cleanliness — it's about hitchhiking pests that resist DIY sprays. A licensed exterminator relies on professional heat treatment and mattress encasements to eliminate them where they hide.

Spiders in Block Island

Spider sightings climb across Block Island each fall as males roam to find mates. A licensed exterminator de-webs, treats the perimeter, and cuts down the prey insects spiders feed on so they have less reason to move in.

Mosquitoes in Block Island

Mosquitoes can make a Block Island backyard unusable and may spread disease, breeding in any standing water that sits for a week. A exterminator reduces breeding sites, larvicides what can't be drained, and applies a barrier treatment to shaded foliage that's refreshed through the season.
