Insects and Spiders

• Ants
  Ants are social insects that typically live in colonies in the ground. They are commonly found outdoors but will enter buildings seeking food and shelter. Ants start searching for nutritional resources as early as February and March. They can be identified by their three distinct body regions including the head, thorax and abdomen. Ants are known for having a cinched waist and elbowed antennae. Although there are thousands of varieties of ants, there are a few that are commonly found in Wichita, Kansas and surrounding areas. If you are seeing ants or evidence of ants, give Patton Termite & Pests a call today.
• Spiders
  Spiders are predatory arachnids that have eight legs and two body regions. Many people are afraid of spiders, although not all spiders bite or cause harm to humans. The two spiders below, the Brown Recluse and the Black Widow, are of significant importance in human environments because their bites can cause serious or even fatal reactions in humans. If you see spiders around, call Patton Termite & Pest today for prompt, effective and friendly service.
• Termites
  Termites are wood-destroying insects which commonly infest forested environments and generally live in the soil. The indigenous termites in Kansas live in the soil and are called subterranean termites. Their part in nature is to digest decaying wood and turn it into nutritious soil. Specifically, they seek out areas that have moisture and cellulose materials such as wood.
• Bed Bugs
  Bed bugs are small, wingless bugs that are similar in size and shape to an apple seed when fully developed. They become established in places where they will easily and frequently have a blood meal. If you suspect you have bed bugs in your building, call Patton Termite & Pest Control immediately. We’ll provide you with an initial evaluation to determine your service frequency needs and build a custom pest management program.
• Fleas
  Preventing pesky flea infestations before they invade your home is the best approach to pest control. During winter and spring months, plan ahead to provide a ring of protection around your property. At the first sign of pests, act quickly to regain your ground. Once a full-blown flea infestation is on your hands, it's an uphill battle to push back these pests. When you first see, or suspect you have fleas, give Patton Termite & Pests a call for fast, friendly and effective service.
• Cockroaches
  While German Cockroaches are more commonly found in residential settings, the American Cockroach is often associated with sewers and commercial facilities. They prefer to inhabit warm, damp locations. These cockroaches are also known to be strong fliers and easily migrate from building to building.
• Ticks
  Bed bugs are small, wingless bugs that are similar in size and shape to an apple seed when fully developed. In younger stages, they can be smaller and lighter in color. Otherwise, they range from brown to a dark brownish red. Sometimes people confuse bed bugs with ticks, but ticks won’t infest your home.

• Beetles
  Bedbugs are not completely nocturnal but have the habit of being very active at night, feeding off their hosts unnoticed. Adult bedbugs can grow to 4-5 mm in length and 1.5-3 mm wide. Bedbugs are commonly mistaken for other pests such as booklice and carpet beetles. They are able to stay alive in a wide range of temperatures and atmospheric compositions. They can also live for a year without feeding. Many ways your home can become infested is through your household pets, on clothing or luggage, or even previously infested items such as furniture or clothing that is brought into the house.
• Aphids
  Acrobat Ants have a pointed, heart shaped abdomen that they raise up when disrupted. Typically, they nest outdoors under stones, logs, firewood and around foliage that readily has aphids or mealybugs. They also nest indoors in decaying wood or areas with excessive moisture.

Rodent Control

• Rodents
  Rodents are small mammals that commonly infest homes and businesses in Kansas. Mice and rats are the most common. Mice and rats can be differentiated by their ears, tail length, droppings and size. Both of these rodents are pests that can infest homes, cause structural damage and contaminate stored food and food surfaces. Both mice and rats also transmit and spread diseases. Different bait and trapping methods are needed for mice and rats due to the difference in size and behavior between the two rodents. If you see rodents or rodent droppings, call Patton Termite & Pest today for prompt, effective and friendly service.
• Mice
• Rats
  Fleas are flightless insects that can jump very far and rely on blood meals from a host. Fleas feed on a variety of hosts including humans, cats, dogs, squirrels, rabbits, rats, mice and birds. They are very small, adults only reach about 3 mm in size. Fleas easily maneuver around different hairs and fibers. Despite their small size, fleas reproduce rapidly and in high numbers so infestations can quickly become very large.
• Squirrels
