Bed Bug
Cimex lectularius

Bed bugs are flat, reddish-brown parasites that feed exclusively on blood. They are introduced through travel, used furniture, and human contact — not poor sanitation. Any home or hotel room can be infested. Hampton Roads military and hospitality environments create higher than average introduction risk.

German Cockroach

The German Cockroach is the most problematic cockroach species in Hampton Roads homes and commercial kitchens. Unlike outdoor roaches, German cockroaches breed entirely inside, reproduce rapidly, and are resistant to many store-bought treatments.

Mus musculus / Rattus norvegicus

House Mouse and Norway Rat

House mice and Norway rats are the two most common rodent problems in Hampton Roads homes and businesses. Both enter through gaps as small as a quarter inch, both breed year-round indoors, and both require professional exclusion work for lasting control.
