Spiders
If you live in the Central Coast or the surrounding areas, there is no pest control issue quite as alarming as a spider infestation. So spiders like the black widow can be pretty venomous. I wouldn't take any chances leaving this issue unaddressed.

Rats
Rats can range in size from 13–18 inches in length, and can be light brown to black in color. Two rats — the Norway rat and the Roof rat — are the most common species. The Norway rat has a blunt snout and ears that are small and covered with hairs. The Norway rat lives in burrows outdoors or in and around stored items, wall voids, and attics. The tail is dark on top and pale beneath. The Roof rat has a pointed snout and the ears are large and nearly naked. This rat may live outdoors in trees and inside structures. The tail is uniformly dark. These pesky rodents can contaminate your home or business and easily spread disease if they are allowed to live on your property for long.

Fleas
Fleas are a nuisance and pose a threat to your beloved pets and family members as they are capable of not only biting and causing skin irritation, but spreading infections and diseases such as typhus and tularemia. If you suspect fleas have infested your home or business, you can rest assured when you work with Ryan with Hero Home and Pest Services, you are in good hands to get rid of fleas for good.
Cochroaches
Are you experiencing a cockroach infestation in your home or business? Don’t wait for the problem to get worse! Cockroaches carry diseases and invasive bacteria and they are often found near moisture-rich areas like bathrooms, basements, and kitchens. If left untreated, these elusive pests pose a serious threat to the safety and sanitation of your building. Cockroaches are smart, fast, and multiply quickly, so if you’ve seen them in your home, you need to call the trusted, local, cockroach exterminator Ryan at Hero Home and Pest Services!

Our experienced team will root out all wasps and destroy their nests, ensuring that they do not return. Contact us today to learn more about our pest control solutions and to keep the wasps away.
Termites
Termites are insects that love feeding on wood, making homes an easy target. There are two types of termites that are commonly encountered by homeowners, which are worker termites and swarmer termites. Workers are creamy colored, about three to four millimeters long, and are typically only seen when a mud foraging tube is broken or infested wood is broken open. If you suspect you have termites, Ryan, will come by and offer a free limited inspection or a complete (at-cost) inspection.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs hide in and around beds and other furniture, allowing them to feed on people — usually while they sleep. They are good at hiding in luggage and other personal belongings, which is typically how they find their way into a home.
After being introduced into a home, they hide in the mattresses and box springs, headboard, railings, baseboards, night stands, electrical sockets, and wall coverings. They can also be found in picture frames, behind wallpaper, and anywhere else near where people sleep. Although bed bugs are not known to carry diseases, bed bug bites can become itchy red welts, similar to mosquito bites. Our safe and effective bed bug extermination services will help to keep your home or business free of these annoying pests! We will even work with you to determine ways to keep them out in the future once we have finished our treatment. Get a free estimate today!
