Roaches, Ants, Spiders, and More

GP Home Defense LLC will customize a solution to your household pest problem. Many people continue to live with cockroaches because they don’t know what else to do about it. Cockroaches are a serious health hazard. They will feed on any organic matter, including human and animal waste, and are drawn to human food. They are a major cause of foodborne illness, spreading salmonella and other bacteria. Their waste, eggs and decomposing bodies also cause allergic reactions for many people.

Most spiders in Kansas are relatively harmless, and the vast majority are even beneficial because they prey on other insects.  The Brown Recluse spider, however, can be quite dangerous. Brown Recluse spiders are likely the most common house spider in Kansas. They prefer dark, undisturbed areas such as basements, crawl spaces, garages, sheds, and other storage spaces. They can also be found throughout homes in piles of clothes, in seldom-used beds and furniture, behind baseboards, and in all types of clutter in and around homes. Their bite can sometimes be quite severe, causing a deep necrotic (dead) ulceration of the skin and muscle tissue. 

There are many species of ants in Kansas, but only a few typically become household pests. They will invade houses looking for food sources, and even if you kill the ones that you see, more will usually keep coming. By the time you see them, they have likely already sent word back to the rest of the colony that they have located a great food source.  GP Home Defense LLC doesn’t just address the ants that you can see.  Our method works like a time bomb that the ants carry back to the nest, and wipes out the whole colony. We can also establish a barrier around the perimeter of your home to deter ants from other colonies from invading. 

Wasps can deliver excruciatingly painful stings.  Do-it-yourselfers trying to remove a wasp nest often create an angry swarm of wasps looking for someone to punish.  If you’d rather not risk it, give us a call.
