What Pests Are Most Common in Matthews?
We deal with a variety of invasive and potentially destructive household pests, including the following:
Ants
Ants are among the most common pests found in North Carolina homes. They enter properties in search of food and water and can quickly establish large colonies within walls, under floors, or in outdoor spaces near your foundation. While many ants are simply a nuisance, species like carpenter ants can cause structural damage by hollowing out wood to build their nests. Others, like odorous house ants, leave a lingering smell when crushed. DIY ant control rarely eliminates the entire colony, which is why professional treatment is often necessary for long-term control.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are hardy, fast-breeding insects that thrive in warm, moist environments. They are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and behind appliances. Species common to the Matthews area include the American, German, and Oriental cockroaches. Besides being unsightly, roaches are dangerous—they spread bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli, aggravate asthma symptoms (especially in children), and contaminate food and surfaces. Because they’re nocturnal and extremely elusive, infestations can grow unnoticed. Our professional pest control solutions target both the insects you see and the ones you don’t.
Mosquitos
Mosquitoes are more than just a summertime annoyance—they are carriers of serious diseases like West Nile virus, Zika virus, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). North Carolina’s humid climate and standing water sources make the region an ideal breeding ground for these pests. Female mosquitoes lay hundreds of eggs in just a small amount of water, meaning your birdbath, clogged gutters, or backyard puddle could be a hidden hotspot. Our mosquito control services are designed to eliminate breeding sites and reduce adult populations so you can reclaim your outdoor spaces.
Spiders
While most spiders are harmless and even beneficial for controlling other insect populations, some species in the Carolinas, such as the brown recluse and black widow, pose health risks due to their venomous bites. Spiders often enter homes through cracks, windows, or gaps in doors and settle in undisturbed areas like basements, attics, and garages. A sudden increase in spider sightings may indicate a larger underlying pest problem, since spiders tend to follow their food sources—other insects. At Anticimex Carolinas, we provide integrated pest management that addresses spiders and the bugs that attract them.
Termites
Termites are especially common in warm areas like Matthews, so residents and businesses across the Carolinas should take the risk of termite damage seriously. Annual termite inspections are highly recommended for both commercial and residential properties to confirm that termites haven’t compromised a home or business. Since termite damage is often not covered by insurance, repairs can be especially costly.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are unpleasant to find and especially difficult to get rid of on your own. If you notice black, pepper-like flakes on your mattress and small red bumps on your body, you likely already have an infestation. Even after treatment, bed bugs can return to your Matthews property because they can hitch a ride on luggage or clothing, even after long-distance travel.
Stinging Insects
Bees may sting only once, while other stinging insects, such as wasps, can sting repeatedly. Matthews’s warm climate provides an ideal habitat for stinging insects, including:
- Wasps
- Yellow Jackets
- Hornets
Other common stinging insects in the area include mud daubers and cicada killers, both of which are wasps. Stings from any of these insects can be very serious, especially for people with allergies.
Ticks
Matthews is home to several tick species, including black-legged, American dog, brown dog, and lone star ticks. Each can carry multiple diseases. Keeping your yard tidy and monitoring your landscaping with professional tick control services is the best way to protect yourself, your loved ones, your pets, or your customers from these pests.
Carpenter Bees
A clear sign of carpenter bee activity is a circular hole in a wooden structure. Simply plugging the hole often won’t deter the pest; it may just bore another one to shelter in during colder months and to lay and raise its young when the weather warms up.
Wildlife
Wildlife on your Matthews property can pose health risks to you, your loved ones, pets, or customers. From painful snake bites to the risk of rabies from mammals, the Carolinas are home to many of these pests, especially:
- Raccoons
- Squirrels
- Bats
- Opossums
- Skunks
- Birds
- Rodents
- Snakes
Carpenter Ants
Whether regular carpenter ants or carpenter ant swarmers are present in your Matthews home or business, it is a significant risk to the structure of your property. These insects will tear away at wood until it is compromised, which can prove especially unsafe and costly to repair.
Fire Ants
Fire ants deliver a painful sting and build unsightly mounds on your Matthews property. Removing food sources can help keep these pests away, but the ants you see are only a small part of the colony. Most remain hidden from view, so professional fire ant extermination may be needed.
