Common pests in Somerset, KY

Here are the most common pests in Somerset, KY.

Spiders

Spiders are frequently found throughout homes in Somerset. Because they are occasional invaders, spiders do not typically infest in large numbers like common ants you'd find in your kitchen or bathroom. For that reason, they are much less of a threat than other pests. However, some are frightened simply by their existence. If you find spiders in your home, Terminix can help.

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are an unfortunately common pest that often plague back yards and lawns across the Somerset area. Not only do these ubiquitous insects cause itchy red welts, but they can also carry pathogens that may cause diseases such as West Nile Virus.

Ticks

Ticks can be a silent threat, breeding in your yard and often going unnoticed. Because ticks are so small, you may not even know that there is a tick issue on your property until you or your pet are bitten. Much like mosquitoes, ticks have the potential to carry pathogens that may cause a variety of diseases. In Kentucky, the most common types of ticks are deer ticks, Lone Star ticks, American dog ticks, Gulf Coast ticks, and brown dog ticks.

Ants

Household ant infestations are common in Somerset. Have you ever found tiny black ants crawling around your kitchen or bathroom? You've most likely encountered small nuisance ants. Like their name suggests, nuisance ants are bothersome because they tend to get into food packaging. When there are easily penetrable or open food containers, nuisance ants can invade. They are also attracted to moisture that could exist from humid bathrooms, leaking kitchen appliances, and unsealed sink pipes.
