Ants are extremely social insects, so one or two ants in your home will quickly become an infestation. These tiny invaders can contaminate food so preventative ant control is vital.
Spiders
Arachnophobia is a fear of spiders, and there are very few people in the world who can claim they don’t share this common condition. Only some spiders are venomous, but they’re still unwelcome guests in any home. Because some of these pests are dangerous, spider control should always be handled by professionals — and our certified experts at Arrow have you covered.
Termites
An integral part of the STEPS® Termite Protection Plan is the Sentricon System with Always Active™, the most advanced termite treatment system in the world. Sentricon termite bait systems are trusted to protect the White House, Statue of Liberty and other national treasures, and Arrow Exterminators is the #1 provider of Sentricon in the world! Get the best from the best.
Bed Bugs
The resurgence of bed bugs in recent years has brought renewed relevance to the old saying, "Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite." Almost unheard of after World War II, the ban on DDT and the increase in international travel are largely to blame for their reemergence, and while beds may be ground zero for these pesky bugs, they can be found almost anywhere, including hospitals, airplanes, movie theaters and even department stores.
Fleas
Fleas will feed on the blood of any warm-blooded body and typically leave behind itchy, unsightly marks and can cause severe allergic reactions as well. If you suspect a flea infestation in your home, it is important to contact a licensed pest professional, like Arrow Exterminators, immediately to rid your home of fleas and help prevent future occurrences.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are known to spread over 33 types of bacteria and carry allergens that can trigger asthma attacks in children. According to the National Institute of Environmental Health, one in five children in the U.S. have severe sensitivities to cockroach allergens.
Silverfish
Silverfish are trouble. No one wants to see these grey-brown bugs hanging out in the sink or bathtub, but consider it a blessing if you spot one of these nocturnal pests. If you see a
Bees
Arrow’s wasp & bee control is a part of our STEPS Total Protection System and another way we go Beyond the Call to protect your family’s health and property.
Wasps
Stinging insects like bees, yellow jackets, wasps, hornets and more send more than 500,000 people to the emergency room each year. These pests are aggressive in nature and often sting as a way to protect their colonies or larvae from people attempting to remedy an infestation on their own. This aggressiveness combined with their social nature often means that these pests attack in large numbers, stinging a victim repeatedly. This adds potential for greater skin irritation or a serious allergic reaction. An Arrow wasp or hornet exterminator can provide the level of expertise needed for complete bee, hornet, wasp, bee and yellow jacket removal.
Ticks
Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Tularemia are just a few of the diseases ticks can transmit to humans. If you are experiencing a problem with ticks in or around your home, the experienced professionals at Arrow will design a custom program to fit your individual needs and help protect your family and pets.
Crickets
House crickets earned their name for a propensity to enter homes and stay indefinitely. These chirping, yellow-brown pests can wreak havoc in your home thanks to their vivacious eating habits. A fully-grown cricket is 16–21 mm long (about the size of a nickel), and they have long hind wings covering their abdomen.
Earwigs
Earwigs are to blame. Adult earwigs grow to around an inch and a half long, and they tend to look pretty scary with two large pincers sticking out from their abdomen. Despite how dangerous they look, earwigs don’t bite or sting, and their pincers don’t contain any venom or poisons.
Mosquitoes
Have mosquitoes become such a problem that they actually keep you from enjoying your yard during some of the nicest times of the year? Arrow Exterminators offers outdoor mosquito control so you can take back your yard!
Flies
Many southern lawns, gardens, shrubs and trees are threatened each year by pests such as chinch bugs, grubs, aphids, mites and more. The warm climate makes most of these pests a threat year round causing extensive damage and even killing plants in severe cases. Aphids and white flies feed on tender plant parts and have the ability to transmit viruses. Chinch bugs cause serious damage to turf grass causing it to turn yellow and die. Grubs also attack lawns eating roots, shoots and blades of grass and mites affect ornamental plants by sucking the juice out of delicate foliage.
Centipedes
Centipedes originally earned their name from the idea that they had 100 legs. Actually, these elongated arthropods have between 15 and 177 pairs of legs divided between each segment of their red-brown bodies. Centipedes are also equipped with distinct antennae and maxilliped fangs used to seek out and immobilize their prey.
Millipedes
People call millipedes “thousand-legged worms†for a good reason. These gray-brown bugs grow to be a little over one inch long, and they have many sections of legs (with a leg count between 30 to 400!). While millipedes may look freaky due to their long and slender bodies, they don’t bite. However, they can stir up trouble for homeowners.
Scorpions
Scorpions are terrifying arachnids that no one wants in, or anywhere near, their homes. They have eight legs and a pair of large claws used to seize prey and defend themselves against predators, but that’s not their only weapon —they possess a segmented tail that often curves back over their bodies and is equipped with a venomous stinger. Scorpions have an unusually long life span and live between three and five years. However, some species live 10 – 15 years.
Hornets
Yellowjackets
I am writing this review as a result of our recent visit from Dustin N. Dustin first came to our home on 15 August to treat a yellow jacket’s nest in our back yard. He came again on 29 August 2017 because my husband and I found a bee’s nest in our back yard. He arrived as scheduled and successfully solved both problems—no more yellow jackets or bees!
Stink Bugs
The brown marmorated stink bug, or halyomorpha halys species, commonly infests homes in the South. They possess a distinct shield-shaped body with straight antennae and a piercing mouth, and adults are normally just under an inch long with a mottled-brown coloring.

Stinging Insects
There are many pests that may occasionally invade your home or yard and pose a significant threat to your family’s health, such as fire ants, stinging insects, fleas and even bed bugs. These pests require the expertise of a professional to ensure total removal. Arrow Exterminators offers specialized pest control options for these and other unexpected guests, including bed bug control, fire ant control, flea control, tick control, stinging insect control and solutions for other outdoor pests.
Mites
Hearing scratching and scurrying noises in your attic or walls? These unsettling noises often indicate that wildlife, such as rats, squirrels, and raccoons, have taken up residence in your home. More than just a nuisance, these pests can cause building damage when nesting, transmit diseases, and bring in fleas and mites. The wildlife control and exclusion experts at Arrow Exterminators will get these unwanted guests out and, more importantly, keep them out.
Aphids
Pill Bugs
Pill bugs, also known as roly-polies, earned their nickname from a defensive habit of rolling into a ball when disturbed. Although they are called bugs, they are actually land-dwelling crustaceans with a distinct flattened profile, seven pairs of legs and jagged antennae.
Palmetto Bugs
I have always been satisfied with your service, but never more so than I am right now. I would like to praise your technician, Sam B., who has been coming to my house for about a year. He is extremely friendly and courteous. He is also very responsive to my home's needs. I have a particular aversion to palmetto bugs, which had always been a problem in this house. However, since Sam has been coming here, it is a rare occasion that I see one of those creatures. It is always a pleasure to see him.
Many types of wildlife, including bats, opossums and snakes, can seek food and shelter inside your home. While their presence is certainly unsettling, it can also present a danger to the health of your family and home.
Moles
Arrow wildlife control and removal experts are specially trained and equipped to handle almost any urban and suburban wildlife control situations. As part of the STEPS® Total Protection System™, our wildlife removal services include mouse and rat control, squirrel control and home protection from raccoons, opossums, snakes, bats, skunks, moles, chipmunks and more.
Raccoons
There are a number of pest-proofing measures that homeowners can take to protect their home and families from the threats posed by raccoons. Arrow's raccoon control specialists recommend the following...
Snakes
Snakes become more active in the summer months, and while most snakes are harmless and even beneficial, finding them in your home or on your property can cause concern. Our snake control professionals have the training and experience to determine whether the snakes in and around your home are venomous, and they have the snake removal skills necessary for any situation. Should the problem you encounter be inside your home, our professionals will also determine how they are gaining entry and seal up any access points to prevent them from getting in again.
Wildlife
We offer additional wildlife control services, including skunk removal, soiled insulation removal, installation of new insulation and repair to any damaged areas. Many homeowners may not be aware, but these additional services are typically covered by homeowners insurance.
Opossums
Opossums are the only North American marsupial (females have a pouch on their belly wherein they carry and feed their young). These nocturnal mammals can reach 24 inches long and weigh 10 pounds. They are excellent climbers and a threat to homeowners if they take up residence in your attic. They leave behind large droppings that carry various parasites and diseases and are also known to steal garbage and pet food and harass pets. Arrow's opossum removal professionals have the experience and to keep your home and family protected from these, no matter how serious the opossum control situation.
Our highly trained bird control specialists have the skill and expert equipment to protect your family and home from these pests. Our bird protection and pigeon control services include a comprehensive inspection to discover how the birds are getting in and what control steps may be necessary; a detailed proposal of our recommended solution and full-service implementation to rid your home of these pests and take the steps needed to keep them out. Plus, we protect your home against other wildlife pests including rodents, raccoons, snakes, bats and more. We also offer total bird removal, disinfection and reinstallation of damaged insulation.
Pigeons
Pigeons and other birds can be dangerous pests, requiring expert bird pest control for a number of reasons: they carry many other pests like fleas, ticks and mites; they are known to carry and transmit several diseases; and they can contaminate food. If these pests have gained entry into your home, you need the services of a licensed Arrow bird or pigeon removal and exclusion professional.
Signs that rodents may have settled in include unusual noises in the attic or walls and/or droppings found in the pantry, along baseboards or in the attic. If you suspect rodents have taken up residence in your home, call an Arrow rodent control professional to get them out and keep them out.
Mice
Mice and rats pose many threats to you, your family and your home. When they take up residence, they rarely travel alone, often bringing in fleas, mites, ticks, and lice. Micro droplets of mouse urine can trigger allergic reactions in children. Rats will chew through just about anything when nesting, including wiring, which can cause fires. Rats are also known to urinate on and eat stored foods. Both mice and rats can transmit numerous diseases. Obviously, mouse and rat control is a serious matter.
Rats
Additionally, rats are excellent climbers and can make their way into a home through entry points along the roofline as well. Roof rats were not even found in southern states 20 years ago, but now they are one of the most frequent home invaders. Once inside, rats will reproduce rapidly, and populations can exceed two hundred rodents within months.
Squirrels
Both gray and flying squirrels usually begin to enter homes in the late fall as the evening temperatures drop, looking for a warm place to nest for the winter. They can be found in attics, exterior walls and even between floors, using insulation as nesting material. Their playful nature and early rising times are what give their presence away to homeowners as they hear scratching in the attic or movement at dawn, making squirrel exclusion sometimes necessary just to get some sleep.
