Rodents

Rats and mice are generally nocturnal animals and are rarely seen during the day except when in very high numbers.
Mice tend to seek shelter and form nests inside buildings where it is warm and dry. They rarely stray more than a few meters from their nests sites.
Rats Generally nest outside, under buildings, in piles of debris or in overgrown parts of the section.
Both rats and mice are incredibly agile and can climb most vertical surfaces, leap across wide spaces and squeeze through very small gaps. They are also good swimmers.
You need to look for droppings, gnaw marks, smear marks and tracks. You may also hear rats in your walls and ceilings should they invade your house

Pigeons tend to be found in small flocks of around twenty to thirty birds.
Seeds and grains make up the bulk of their diet, but they are willing to sample just about anything.
Feral pigeons are a generally gray bird with slightly iridescent feathers on the neck that shine pink and green in the sunlight.
A pigeon nest is usually constructed with small twigs and located on covered building ledges that resemble cliffs.
Pigeons are a visual and aesthetic problem. They are only a problem when present in great numbers or when roosting on buildings or under bridges. Their droppings can disfigure buildings and cause sanitary and health hazards.
Preventing pest birds will increase your property value, eliminate safety and health hazards by preventing the spread of diseases and improve/protect your image.

Ants do serve an important role in the ecosystem, but as their colonies grow and multiply treatment may be necessary.
They become particularly troublesome when they come indoors and get into foods. Once a few ants arrive hundreds can quickly follow.
Ants come indoors either looking for food and water or to find shelter.

American cockroaches are found in food processing areas and food storage areas, as well as other types of buildings.
They are active when the temperature is 70 degrees or higher, but they can survive lower temperatures with the right conditions.
Cockroaches are often found in sewers and basements, particularly around pipes and drains.

Bed Bugs like to hide in small cracks and crevices close to a human environment. They can be found behind baseboards, wallpaper, upholstery, and in furniture crevices.
Bed bugs are also known to survive in temporary or alternative habitats, such as backpacks and under the seats in cars, buses and trains.
Although bed bugs can dine on any warm-blooded animal, they primarily dine on humans. Bed bugs do not transmit diseases, but their bites can become red, itchy welts.
