Insects and Spiders

• Ants
  Whether you’re looking for an effective way to get rid of ants and other unwanted pests in your home or pest reduction solutions for your backyard, Go-Forth Home Services is proud to offer a variety of pest control and lawn care services to homeowners in the Piedmont Triad region.
• Spiders
  Considered one of the most venomous spiders in North America, this type of spider is about the size of a paper clip and easily identifiable by the colored (usually red), hourglass-shaped mark on its abdomen. A black widow is dangerous because its venom is known to be about 15 times stronger than a rattlesnake’s.
• Termites
  Termites are not a nuisance pest. You won’t find them running around on your countertops or burrowing into your pantry food. They won’t crawl into your bed at night or build webs in the corners of your ceiling. Instead, they’ll stay out of sight, not even making it known that they’re in your Greensboro home. While there, they’ll eat the wooden elements of your house, including the structural components that keep your home standing.
• Bed Bugs
  Over the last few years, bed bugs - once thought a thing of the past - have reemerged in hotels, businesses, and homes all across the U.S. and the Triad region. As far as is known, bed bugs do not transmit diseases, but they do bite their hosts, causing red marks, itching, irritation, swelling, and more. They also multiply rapidly and can overtake a building in a relatively short period.
• Fleas
  Is your dog or cat suffering from fleas? Besides causing painful, itchy bites and rashes, fleas can also carry and transmit diseases, like typhus and tapeworms.
• Cockroaches
  Adult brown-banded cockroaches have wings, are about 5/8-inch-long, and are light brown to bright dark brown. The brown-banded cockroach is often mistaken for the German cockroach if it is not correctly identified. Males are able to flee. Nymphs and females are of a more wide shape while the male is very thin. The male wings cover the abdomen, while the female wings are short, exposing the abdomen.
• Silverfish
• Bees
  There are many types of bees, including certain types where they sting someone and die because they have barbed stingers. Bumblebees are pollinators and live in large families, and these type of bees can sting more than once because their stingers are smooth. Carpenter bees are solitary and feed off their young, can drill through wood, and can sting several times. Killer bees measure about half an inch in size, and their color is golden yellow with darker bands of brown. These bees tend to attack in larger numbers, which makes them life-threatening to people allergic to their sting.

• Ticks
  With Go-Forth Home Services’s My Elite Plus service plan, you’ll receive comprehensive pest reduction for mosquitoes, ticks, fire ants, fleas and other ornamental pests that often find a home in your yard. No other service offered by anyone in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, or the greater Triad area, will include this level of coverage!
• Crickets
  This plan covers ants, mice, rats, spiders, crickets, millipedes, and centipedes. The Basic plan also covers most other insects, excluding flying and stinging insects, wood-destroying insects, and insects requiring special treatment, equipment, materials, or methods.
• Earwigs
• Mosquitoes
  For many homeowners in the Triad area, dealing with mosquitoes and mosquito bites during the summer months is just a way of life. At Go-Forth Home Services, we don’t think that has to be the case. Mosquitoes are certainly an annoyance, but they’re also dangerous, spreading serious illnesses such as West Nile virus, chikungunya, encephalitis, dengue, malaria, and canine heartworm. No one should have to worry about contracting a disease every time they step outside their Charlotte door. Go-Forth Home Services’s proactive approach to mosquito control will allow you to get back outside and enjoy your yard.
• Flies
  Drosophila melanogaster is one of the thousands of types of flies. Grown-ups are quite small in size measuring from up to 3 to 4 mm long, and they also have red eyes. Fruit flies are dark or tan in color. Fruit flies lay their eggs and breed in decaying fruit, pickle mustard, fermenting liquid, etc, and their small, slender white larvae or maggots sometimes may be found in large numbers in jars of preserved fruit and pickles, that have been left open or imperfectly sealed.
• Centipedes
  While not every class of centipede has precisely one hundred feet, there are many fascinating foot-related actualities within this family. Centipedes are best known for the cause of their name, which interprets from Latin as, ‘hundred foot.’ Numbers may fluctuate somewhere in the range of 20 sets to more than 300 arrangements of legs...that is an incredible 600 feet, for those checking! The legs shift according to which centipede; the short legs are at the front of the body and the longest at the back.
• Millipedes
  Centipedes are predators that live in the wetlands. These nocturnal creatures hunt insects and spiders at night. They are quite similar to the millipedes, with the difference being that they have only one pair of legs per body segment, while millipedes have two pairs of legs per body segment. They are rarely seen inside homes, except for the house centipede that can breed in vacant spaces and cellars. The house centipede is recognized for its extremely long legs.
• Beetles
  Beetles in South Carolina, also known as Coleoptera insects, are the largest number of subspecies in the world (which is around 40%)! This group of species is so large that one out of every four animals on earth is a beetle! This means there are around 350,000 identified species, but millions more that are left unidentified. The beetle possesses a hard shell, has four wings and legs, and it’s size can range from 1/16 of an inch to 6 inches! Beetles do not have very good eyesight, so they will communicate through pheromones, or vibrations for sounds.
• Hornets
  We are proud to specialize in wasp, yellow jacket, hornet control, and trapping and removal, using the latest extermination techniques and technology to eliminate stinging insects in and around your home.
• Yellowjackets
  Yellow jackets have a yellow and black yellow pattern and live in nests constructed of paper carton. They are slow to sting, but when threatened they will sting you to protect their nest. It is not recommended to remove stinging insects on your own because they can be dangerous, especially when they feel threatened.
• Moths
  This plan covers ants, rodents, spiders, crickets, yellow jackets, hornets, wasps, bees, stink bugs, fleas, drain flies, pantry pests (ex. beetles & moths), carpet beetles, and fire ants (inside & outside). Pests in bold are not included in our competitors' services. Oh wait - I should have just started with this: EVERYTHING!

Pests in bold are added from the My Elite. Oh wait - I should have just started with this: EVERYTHING! (only exclusions are bed bugs and wood-destroying insects) The My Elite Plus is TOTAL PEST CONTROL and takes the all-inclusive approach one step further to cover the yard as well as the home.
• Pantry Pests
• Stinging Insects
  Wasps, hornets, and other stinging insects tend to be aggressive pests, scavenging for food wherever they can find it and delivering painful and even life-threatening stings.
• Mites
  Clover parasites in North Carolina are quite small and the grown-ups are even smaller than the head of a pin. The hatching of the clover parasite newly rose up out of eggs, are brilliant red. The more seasoned stages and the adult ones are darker reddish-brown. Clover mites eat plant liquids like grass and are mostly outside around structures. Bugs may creep onto building establishments in expansive numbers and store eggs inside breaks found in the building outside. In the spring, the modest red hatching incubate may slither up the establishment, through cracks around windows and small openings in the foundation and then they would be into the building.
• Aphids
• Boxelder Bugs
  Box elder bugs get their regular name from the way they are frequently found near box elder trees. This species is local to the western states, yet it can be found from eastern Canada through the eastern United States, and west to eastern Nevada wherever the box elder trees are found.

Animal Control

• Bats
  Centipedes are predators and are interestingly adjusted for deft chasing. They eat a staggering cluster of creepy crawlies and little vertebrates. Bigger species might be more eager, eating up small fowls, bats, reptiles, and frogs. Disregarding normal misinterpretations, these animals do not eat plants.
• Snakes
  Luckily for homeowners living in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, NC, there are only three known venomous snakes found in the Triad area: copperheads, rattlesnakes, and cottonmouths. Copperheads are characterized by dark brown, hourglass-shaped crossbands on light brown skin, as well as white and black-marked bellies. If threatened, copperheads will vibrate their tail and try to bite. However, bites are rarely fatal to humans. Rattlesnakes are known for the rattle on the end of their tail and their hiss. They are usually patterned with dark diamonds and can bite if stepped on. Although their bite can be dangerous, immediate medical treatment can ensure that the effects aren’t serious. Cottonmouths, also known as "water moccasins", are North Carolina’s only poisonous water snakes. They have triangular heads, thin necks and thick, muscular bodies that are usually dark brown or black. Their bites can be very dangerous and can prevent a person’s blood from clotting. However, if you immediately go to the hospital after getting bitten by one of these pests, their bites are rarely ever fatal.

Bird Control

Rodent Control

• Rodents
  Rodents are pests that no one wants in their Charlotte home. Not only will they drive your pets to destruction, but they’ll also cause some major problems for your family. Rodents are known to spread diseases through their contaminated droppings that often end up in pantries and on food prep surfaces. They spend a lot of time chewing, often gnawing through sheetrock, insulation, wiring, pipes, and other elements of your home that can be dangerous if damaged.
• Mice
• Rats
  Cotton rats have large, black eyes, and they can appear in a variety of colors including gray, brown or black. Their tails are almost always a fleshy pink or pale gray. They have a short, neat face, which is reminiscent of many common rats and an even neater, shorter neckline.
