Got bugs? We can help! At Werner Pest & Odor Control, we understand that dealing with insects can be a headache—literally. Whether it’s ants, spiders, roaches, or something else entirely, these little invaders can disrupt your daily life and business operations. Effective insect control requires more than just spraying pesticides everywhere—it involves understanding the species, their habits, and where they like to hide out. Let’s break down the common pests in Indiana and how Werner Pest & Odor Control can help you keep your space bug-free.

Understanding the Pest Problem

For effective insect control, it’s crucial to know what you’re dealing with. Not all bugs are created equal, and different pests require different approaches. At Werner Pest & Odor Control, we focus on understanding the species, their needs, and the environment they thrive in. This knowledge allows us to target treatments more efficiently, using fewer pesticides and achieving better results.

Ants: The Tiny Titans

Ants are a common problem for homeowners and businesses in Indiana. They’re social creatures that thrive in organized colonies, often living in walls or under floors where it’s dark and moist. Different species of ants, like carpenter ants and sugar ants, have varying behaviors and preferences. Carpenter ants, for example, can cause damage to wood structures, while sugar ants are more interested in the crumbs on your kitchen counter. Our approach is to locate the nest and apply treatments directly, ensuring the entire colony is eliminated, not just the scouts.

Pro Tip: If you see a few ants in your kitchen, there’s likely a lot more hiding out of sight. Call Werner Pest & Odor Control to prevent a small issue from turning into a major infestation.

Spiders: Creepy and Often Unseen

Spiders are another common pest in Indiana homes. While not all are dangerous, most people don’t want them hanging around their living spaces. Spiders prefer dark, undisturbed areas—basements, attics, garages—where they can go unnoticed. Regular spider control treatments can prevent webs and keep these eight-legged creatures out of your home. We focus on perimeter treatments, removing the webs and spraying around the exterior to keep them from coming inside.

Pro Tip: Keep your house as sealed as possible—cracks in walls, gaps around windows and doors, and broken screens can let spiders in.

Roaches: The Pests No One Wants

Roaches are notoriously tough to get rid of. They can live in the tiniest of cracks and are resistant to many traditional pesticides. They’re also nocturnal, so seeing them during the day usually means a significant infestation. At Werner Pest & Odor Control, we use a combination of baiting and barrier treatments to target these hardy pests. By understanding their habits—what they eat, where they hide—we can create a plan to eliminate them from your home or business.

Pro Tip: Roaches are attracted to food and moisture, so keep your kitchen clean, countertops free of crumbs, and make sure to fix leaky faucets and pipes.

Insect Control

The process of insect control involves a systematic approach to identifying, managing, and preventing pest infestations. It starts with inspection and identification, where pest control professionals or homeowners inspect the property to determine the type of insects present, their entry points, and breeding sites. Preventive measures follow, which include sealing entry points, reducing clutter, and maintaining cleanliness to make the environment less hospitable to pests. Once the problem is understood, targeted treatments are applied. These can include insecticides, traps, or baits tailored to the specific pest species and infestation level. Monitoring and follow-up are essential to assess the effectiveness of the treatments and make adjustments as needed to ensure long-term pest control. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) often guides this process, emphasizing the use of the least toxic solutions and combining various methods to effectively control pests while minimizing environmental impact.
