Insects and Spiders

• Ants
  Ants live together in large groups, and have a complex social structure. Ants are some of the most common pests to be found in and around homes throughout our areas. They are identified by their three distinct body regions: the head, thorax, and abdomen. Ants also have antennae. The reproductive members of a colony are the only members that are winged. Depending on the specific species, ants can range from tiny (â…› of an inch) to large ( 1/2 of an inch). Ants come in a variety of colors, including black, brown, red, and yellow.
• Spiders
  Daddy longlegs have bodies that are pale yellow, light brown, or gray in color. They have small bodies (1/4”-3/8”) and eight long and skinny legs. Daddy longlegs are some of the most easily recognized spiders due to their small, round bodies and long, thin legs. However, these 'spiders' only have one body segment and, therefore, are not true spiders. Daddy longlegs are a harmless species of spider.
• Termites
  Termites are a common household problem. They are responsible for causing over 5 billion dollars worth of damage to property across the United States each year. The two most common species of termites you are likely to see in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi are the subterranean termite and drywood termite. Termites are a year-round threat to home and property owners in the south. When it comes to termites, it is never a question of if they will invade your home, but rather when.
• Bed Bugs
  The most common sign of bed bugs is the appearance of multiple bites on a host. These bites are usually grouped together and can form a raised red rash that is often confused with allergies or skin conditions. Other signs include visible feces, exoskeletons, and egg casings left behind by the bed bugs themselves. Look for discoloration or staining on sheets caused by feeding.
• Fleas
  Rodents come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the problems they cause are generally the same. Whether you have squirrels in your attic, mice in your walls, or rats in your basement, destruction, disease, and annoyances are three things you can expect. All rodents have sharp, strong teeth that make them uniquely equipped to destroy homes from the inside out (or the outside in). From chewing holes through walls, ceilings, and cabinets to starting electrical fires by gnawing on electrical wires, rodents are one of the more destructive pests. Rodents are also filthy creatures known for spreading a variety of diseases (hantavirus, Lassa fever, leptospirosis, plague, etc.) and parasites (ticks, fleas, mites, lice). If you are dealing with dangerous rodents in your Mobile home or business, the experts here at Havard Pest Control are here to help. To schedule a time for one of our pest technicians to check your home for rodents, contact us today.
• Cockroaches
  Cockroaches are invasive and are problematic in our area homes and businesses. Cockroaches have flattened, oval-shaped bodies, and six legs that are covered in spines. Their long antennae are usually the same length or longer than their bodies. Cockroach nymphs look similar to adults, but are smaller in size and are wingless. Cockroaches are dangerous pests due to their potential to carry and spread disease, human pathogens, and parasites that can make people ill.
• Silverfish
  Earwigs, House Crickets, Roaches, Spiders (up to 12’ high), House Ants, Rodents, Silverfish, Wasps, Cloth Moths, Ticks, Yellow Jackets, Carpet Beetles, Centipedes, Millipedes, Termites, Carpenter Ants, Fleas
• Bees
  Bumble bees have oval-shaped bodies that are completely fuzzy. Their bodies are black with yellow, orange, or reddish-colored stripes (species-specific). Bumble bees aggressively defend their nests and deliver rather painful stings.
• Wasps
  Bees and wasps are invasive, they can be damaging to the structure of your home, and they may be dangerous for you and your family to be around. We strongly encourage you to call a professional as soon as you suspect that you may have a bee or wasp infestation. Call us at Havard Pest Control to take advantage of our 70 years of pest control experience.
• Ticks
  Spiders are arachnids, and are closely related to mites, ticks, and scorpions. All spiders have two body regions - the cephalothorax and abdomen. They also have eight legs, no wings or antennae, and they have chelicerae (fangs). Spiders usually have eight eyes, but some species only have six. They are a beneficial species, as they feed on nuisance insects. Spiders are usually described as venomous or non-venomous, but the truth is, almost all spiders have fangs that deliver venom. However, only a couple of spiders in the United States have venom that is strong enough to cause health problems in people.
• Crickets
• Earwigs
• Mosquitoes
  Mosquitoes, despite their small size and fragile nature, are considered some of the most dangerous pests living across the world. Their high level of danger is due to the fact that they feed on the blood of a wide range of hosts and have the ability to spread a variety of diseases to both people and animals. Only female mosquitoes feed on blood, as they need the protein it provides to create their eggs. Both male and female mosquitoes feed on nectar and pollen as their main food source.
• Flies
  The unfortunate truth is that cockroaches, rodents, ants, spiders, termites, bed bugs, flies, and other pests can quickly become a problem inside any Gulfport home. The best way to prevent problems with common household invaders is to be proactive and partner with a professional pest control company. At Havard Pest Control, we have several residential pest control options available to help you maintain a pest free home. Our pest control services include residential pest control, termite control, bed bug control, rodent control, and mosquito control. To get the peace of mind you need to know that your home is free of pests and will remain that way, call Havard Pest Control today.
• Centipedes
  Owning a home is amazing. It comes with freedom, space you can change in any way you wish, and a sense of comfort after a long day of work. But it also comes with a few downsides. Pests for one. Unless you move to Antarctica, pests will always be a problem around your home, especially here in Opp, where the weather is warm year round, allowing pests to not only survive, but thrive. But the pros here at Havard Pest Control are here to help. From general pest control that covers pests such as cockroaches, ants, and centipedes to specialty services that protect your Opp home from pests such as termites and rodents, Havard has it all.

• Millipedes
• Beetles
• Scorpions
• Hornets
  Bald-faced hornets are a large species of stinging insect. They are referred to as “hornets” due to their large size, but they are actually close relatives of yellow jackets and paper wasps.  Bald-faced hornets have long, thin, wasp-like bodies. Their bodies are black, and they have an off-white pattern covering most of their face, hence their name, “bald-faced” hornets.
• Yellowjackets
  Yellow jackets are social, and live together in large colonies with thousands of members. Their faces and heads are a combination of black and yellow colors. Their bodies are banded in black and yellow, while their bodies are segmented with thin, pinched-in waists. Yellow jackets are hairless, have elongated wings, and their legs hang down when in flight.
• Moths
• Stinging Insects
  You see large numbers of stinging insects buzzing around trash cans, gardens, shrubs, and outdoor eating areas. This most likely means there is a nest located nearby.
• Mites

Animal Control

• Bats
  Live Trapping - This involves the installation of one-way doors which let wildlife, like bats, get out but not back into the affected area. This is also effective for large animals such as raccoons and opossums which prefer to inhabit tight spaces such as attics.
• Raccoons
  Havard provides wildlife services for pests such as nuisance birds, bats, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, and snakes.
• Snakes
• Wildlife
  One of the most serious health concerns associated with wild animals entering your home is the serious risk of contracting rabies from an infected animal. If you see a nocturnal animal such as a raccoon or skunk wandering in daylight, acting disoriented, disheveled, or otherwise strangely, do not attempt to corner or catch it. A wildlife control officer or other professional should be immediately contacted to remove the animal.
• Opossums

Bird Control

• Birds
  Upon identification of a threat, your technician will develop a plan that fits the needs of your business, including general pest control designed for interior and exterior treatments, insect and rodent exclusions, rodent monitors, insect light traps, pheromone traps, drain treatments, bird control, etc.
• Woodpeckers
  Havard provides humane bird control to rid your property of pigeons, geese, woodpeckers, and other pest birds. We use proven effective techniques such as bird netting to remove the pests from your property. This is especially important when dealing with protected birds such as woodpeckers, which are not permitted to be exterminated by law. We also may install bird spikes as a preventative measure to keep pigeons, swallows, sparrows, and other small birds from roosting and nesting in your buildings. These spikes come in a wide variety of sizes that are customizable for your needs. We also offer shock tracks, which are another very effective way of keeping birds from landing on roof peaks, ledges, and beams. Shock tracks are extremely low profile, making them excellent for high visibility areas. Our technicians will discuss all options with you at the time of inspection and provide recommendations for treatment as needed.
• Sparrows
• Pigeons

Rodent Control

• Rodents
  Mice are rodents, and have no problem taking advantage of food, water, and shelter sources that humans provide. They make up the largest group of mammals and are commonly identified by their continuously growing front incisors. To keep their teeth from overgrowing and preventing them from eating, rodents constantly gnaw on anything they can get their teeth on, creating a lot of damage inside area homes and other buildings. Mice will chew through wires, pipes, drywall, and flooring, causing significant structural damage. They also carry and transmit diseases, bacteria, and parasites to people and pets, and they contaminate our food sources.
• Mice
  House mice are the most common mice that homeowners come into contact with. They breed quickly, are invasive, and adapt quickly to new living conditions. House mice are light brown to gray in color, and have lighter, cream-colored underbellies. They have pointed noses, large ears, and tails that are covered in a light layer of fur. Their bodies are 2 ½ to 3 ½ inches in length, with their tails adding another 2 ½ to 4 inches to their total body length.
• Rats
  Norway rats have heavy, dense bodies that are covered in shaggy brown or gray fur. Their underbellies are lighter in color, and are usually light gray or white. Norway rats have blunt noses, small round ears, and bulging, small black eyes. Their bodies grow to about 9 ½ inches in length, and their bi-colored tails add another 6 to 8 inches to their total length.
• Squirrels
  With over a century of culture and notable history, Mobile, Alabama stands as home and workplace for close to 200,000 individuals. Mobile is also home to countless numbers of pests. These pests, without proper defenses, could drive us all out of house and home. Fortunately, if you live in Mobile, you have access to the highest quality pest protection available from Havard Pest Control. Whether you are dealing with cockroaches in your basement, squirrels in your attic, or anything in between, our pros have solutions designed for you!
