Carpenter ants -These actually tunnel through the wood structures of your home or commercial property and they also bite. Fire ants- These ants are aggressive and will bite repeatedly and can cause a majorly allergic reaction. They are a reddish color and should be avoided. Odorous house ants – Not as prevalent but can be found under stones outside and do make their way into your home or office. Pharaoh ants – small yellow brown ants that eat meat and fatty foods and carry bacteria. These are especially hard to get rid of if trying a DIY method so be sure to call us if you see these.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are the worst and very hard to get rid of by yourself so we recommend that you call us right away if you see any in your home. Cockroaches usually hide so if you see any in broad daylight it means you could have a pretty severe infestation. A common roach type in the Laguna Beach area is the German cockroach.
