GOT A PEST PROBLEMIN GILLETTE?

Rodent urine and droppings can spread hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis in Gillette households. Signs: ammonia-like smell in enclosed spaces, dark droppings near food, nests of shredded paper or fabric.

Ant baits work when matched to species — generic supermarket products fail against Gillette's most common pest ants. Signs: persistent trails despite bait stations, ants ignoring bait, branching trails leading to multiple nests.

Spider populations indicate other pest issues in Gillette homes — spiders go where flies, moths, and gnats are abundant. Signs: webs near light fixtures, spider activity in basements and garages, egg sacs hidden behind furniture.

Paper wasps build small open-comb nests under Gillette eaves, deck railings, and outdoor furniture. Signs: 1–3 inch papery combs visible from below, wasps hovering near entry holes, evening returns to the nest.

German and American cockroaches dominate Gillette kitchens, restaurants, and apartments. They spread Salmonella and trigger childhood asthma. Signs: small dark pellets near food sources, sweet musty smell, nighttime sightings.

Bed bugs in Gillette travel on luggage, used furniture, and clothing. They can survive months between meals. Signs: small red-brown stains on mattress seams, bites in lines of 3, exoskeletons in bed frame crevices.
