Listed below are some pests that commonly affect Northern Nevada

Ants

You may experience many types of ant problems, including Carpenter Ants, Flying Ants, Pavement Ants, Odorous House Ants, Cornfield Ants, False Honey Ants, and Little Black Ants. While most of these ants are more of a nuisance, Carpenter Ants pose a greater risk as they can damage your home’s structure.

At HiLow Services, we understand that you don’t want these pests invading your home—that’s why we offer professional ant prevention and elimination services. We’ll get rid of the ants for good!

Ants can enter your home through the smallest cracks, searching for food and water. If there’s a nest near your home, you’re at risk of an infestation. Some ant colonies can grow to 500,000 ants, and if they feel threatened, they will relocate and spread.

This is why DIY ant treatments often fail—they only target the ants you see, not the hundreds of thousands hidden in the colony. Scroll down to take the next step and let our experts eliminate ants from your home today!

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are flying pests that frequently come into contact with humans, especially between May and October. These pests are more than just a nuisance—they are hazardous due to their ability to transmit deadly diseases like West Nile Virus.

Is there really a way to prevent mosquitoes from living and breeding on your property?

Yes! The pest management professionals at HiLow Services provide a mosquito control service that is both environmentally friendly and highly effective.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are common pests that infest both homes and commercial buildings, especially in areas with food, warmth, and moisture. Several species can be found in Northern Nevada, including Oriental cockroaches, German cockroaches, and American cockroaches.

These pests are primarily active at night and are often found in homes, restaurants, and other food-handling establishments. Unlike outdoor pests that feed on vegetation, cockroaches are drawn to everyday household items such as store-bought food, toothpaste, and even kitchen sponges.

If you suspect roaches are invading your home or business, call us today for expert pest control!

Termites

Termites play an important role in our ecosystem by breaking down dead wood and turning it into new soil. However, termites can’t tell the difference between a harmless tree stump in your yard and the wood in your home.

These pests live in social colonies, typically found underground in the soil. While they primarily forage for fallen wood and plant debris, they can also invade homes, causing extensive structural damage if left untreated.

The most common termites in our area are subterranean termites and drywood termites.

Bed Bugs

Unlike other blood-feeding insects, Bed Bugs have never been proven to transmit diseases to humans. However, their bites can cause itchy red welts in some people, often mistaken for poison ivy or an allergic reaction.

Beyond physical irritation, the presence of bed bugs can be distressing and may even cause sleep disturbances.

At HiLow Services, we specialize in bed bug elimination, using proven methods to completely eradicate infestations. Our service is fully guaranteed to get rid of bed bugs and prevent them from returning.

If you suspect a bed bug problem, don’t wait—contact us immediately before the infestation worsens!

Mouse Control and Elimination

Mice normally find their way indoors searching for food and to keep warm through the winter. Since mice have collapsible bodies, they can squeeze into homes through cracks or holes smaller than a dime.

Mice are often not seen by homeowners because they usually only come out at night, and they are identified through the damage they cause and the noises they make while out of sight. Their natural diet consists of seeds and grains, but they will eat many different things.

Mice tend to nibble on things, making frequent trips to food sources within 25 feet of their nests. Once inside, they can be extremely difficult to remove, as they often hide in garages, attics, lofts, and wall interiors.

At HiLow Services, we specialize in mice removal and prevention, as well as handling voles, moles, rodents, and marmots. Our experts use effective, long-term strategies to eliminate these pests and prevent future infestations.

Mice removal and prevention are included in our Shield Home Protection Plan and Shield Exclusion Service. Scroll down to take the next step and get expert help today!

Spiders

Since spiders are widespread in our area, the best way to reduce their presence is to eliminate their food source. An environment that is less hospitable to insects will be far less attractive to spiders.

Most spiders are harmless and pose no direct threat to humans, but some, like the Black Widow and Brown Recluse, can be dangerous. If you’re concerned about spider activity, it’s best to schedule an appointment with HiLow Services to ensure your home or business is protected from an infestation.

To deal with spiders indoors, vacuuming with a crevice attachment can help remove spiders and their eggs as a quick reduction measure—just be sure to dispose of the vacuum bag immediately.

Still, the most effective way to keep spiders away is to eliminate their prey insects as much as possible.

At HiLow Services, our spider control service includes knocking down visible webs and applying targeted treatments in areas where insects—and therefore spiders—are likely to be present. By reducing the insect population, we effectively remove the spiders’ food source, leading to a significant reduction in their numbers.
