Spiders + Ants

Spiders and ants have a way of showing up both outside and inside, especially around entry points and along walls.

Treatments are applied around the exterior of the home to help limit activity and reduce the chances of pests getting inside. If needed, interior areas can also be treated to address any current issues.

The goal is to manage what you’re seeing now while helping prevent it from becoming an ongoing problem.

Browntail Moth Caterpillar

Browntail moth caterpillars can make being outside uncomfortable, especially during the spring and early summer when their hairs can cause skin irritation.

Treatment options include targeted spraying or tree injections, depending on the situation and the level of activity. These methods focus on reducing caterpillar populations where they’re most active.

The goal is to limit exposure and make your outdoor space more comfortable during the times of year when these caterpillars are most present.

Clusterflies

Cluster flies tend to show up in large numbers, especially during the fall and winter months.

They enter homes looking for a place to overwinter, often gathering in attics, wall voids, and around windows. Once inside, they can appear in living spaces on warmer or sunny days, collecting on windows, ceilings, and walls.

While they don’t pose a health risk, they can be frustrating to deal with due to the number of them and how often they seem to reappear.

The main issue is the repeated presence—vacuuming them up, only to see more show up again later.

Ladybugs

While ladybugs are often seen as harmless, the type commonly found in homes—Asian lady beetles—can become a nuisance.

They tend to gather in large numbers, especially in the fall, and make their way inside through small openings around windows, doors, and siding. Once inside, they collect on walls, ceilings, and windowsills, which can be frustrating to deal with.

They can also leave behind stains on surfaces and release a noticeable odor when disturbed. In some cases, they may even bite, though it’s not dangerous.
