Pest Library
Are pests showing up in your kitchen or around the house? In Virginia Beach, uninvited guests like ants, mosquitoes, and rodents are more common than you might expect. Even when you try to handle them yourself, they often come back—again and again.
For this reason, we created the Pest Library at American Pest Solutions. It’s here to help you better understand what’s creeping into your space and what you can do about it.
Meet the Usual Suspects in Virginia Beach
Here are just a few of the pests you may come across in the area:
Odorous house ants and carpenter ants thrive in humid weather and often head straight for your kitchen or nest in damp wood.
They hitch rides in luggage or used furniture. They hide in tight spaces like mattress seams and behind headboards.
These bees drill neat holes into decks and fences, often mistaken for termite damage, but leave behind sawdust piles.
Often found in drains or dark corners, roaches spread bacteria and are tough to eliminate without help.
A beach day with your pet can bring fleas home, where they quickly settle into carpets and upholstery.
Quick and quiet, these rodents hide in attics and walls, especially when it’s cold. They’re known for chewing wires and nesting in storage areas.
These buzzing pests love standing water and often breed in marshes or yards, making evenings uncomfortable.
From harmless web-makers to black widows, spiders often live in garages, sheds, or around outdoor lighting.
Silent but destructive, termites feed on wood and can cause serious structural damage before you even see them.
Often hiding in tall grass or wooded areas, ticks latch onto people or pets and can carry diseases.
Known for their papery nests under eaves or decks, wasps can become aggressive when disturbed.
Our pest library gives you helpful tips to recognize the signs early and know what steps to take next.
Why DIY Fixes Do Not Always Work
Store-bought sprays might feel like a quick solution, but pests are persistent. Many adapt and come back stronger. Ants reroute their trails. Termites stay hidden behind walls. Bed bugs slip through cracks and fabrics unnoticed. These challenges often need a more targeted approach.
That’s where we can help. With over a decade of experience, our family-owned team brings professional care and a personal touch. Our technicians are trained to treat each situation with care and precision—no shortcuts.
