Reno Pest Control
B's Weed & Pest Control Services provides pest control for homes and businesses in Reno, Sparks, and Carson City, Nevada. Service starts with an inspection to identify which pest is actually present, since the right treatment depends on the species.
What Reno Pest Control Involves
Reno pest control is the management and elimination of unwanted insects, rodents, and other animals in and around homes, businesses, and other buildings. Professional pest control companies in Reno, such as B's, start by inspecting the property for signs of infestation and identifying the pest. They then build a treatment plan for it. Safe and effective products and techniques get rid of the pests and keep them from coming back.
B's offers specialized treatments for each type of pest, such as rat traps, termite baiting, and heat treatments for bed bugs. B's also provides pre-emergent weed and lawn spray treatments, which help residential and commercial customers keep their outdoor spaces attractive.
Pest control protects property from damage and keeps homes and workplaces safe and healthy. Signs of an infestation are the time to call a professional, and ongoing pest management keeps new problems from starting.
Common Pests in the Reno Area
- Ants: several species live in Reno, including carpenter ants, Argentine ants, and odorous house ants. They can damage buildings and contaminate food.
- Spiders: black widows are common in the Reno area, and brown recluse spiders turn up after arriving in boxes and furniture. Both can be dangerous if they bite.
- Mice and rats: rodents damage property, chew through wires, contaminate food, and can spread disease.
- Cockroaches: German, American, Oriental, and Turkestan cockroaches are all found locally and can contaminate food and spread disease.
- Termites: termites cause significant damage to homes and buildings and can be hard to detect without a professional inspection.
- Bed bugs: bed bugs infest homes and hotels, cause itchy bites, and require specialized treatment to eliminate.
- Wildlife: raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and chipmunks can damage homes and property and pose a threat to people and pets.
Addressing a pest problem promptly prevents property damage and keeps a home safe and healthy. For a closer look at a specific pest, see spider control, cockroach control, ant control, rodent control, and termite control.

Pests B's Treats
Residential and commercial pest control covers ants, spiders, earwigs, wasps, cockroaches, silverfish, springtails, mice, moles, voles, aphids, mites, mosquitoes, and more. B's also specializes in bed bug extermination and cockroach control.
- Ants are widespread and notoriously difficult to get rid of without a trained expert, since the colony, not the trail, is the target.
- Fleas are a hazard for families and pets, and an infestation in carpets and bedding usually needs professional help.
- Cockroaches multiply fast; left untreated, an infestation can get out of hand quickly.
- Bees and wasps can be dangerous, and their nests should be removed by an expert.
- Rodents carry filth and disease wherever they go and call for trapping, baiting, and exclusion together.
- Mosquitoes can transmit disease, and controlling them depends on preventive treatment of the places they breed.
- Flies are frustrating to get rid of, since the source, not the flies in the air, has to be found and treated.
- Termites are among the most destructive pests a home can have, because they work unseen inside the structure.
Ant Warning Signs
Ant infestations can happen fast, and once ants are established inside a home they can be very difficult to control. Warning signs depend on the species and may include:
- A large number of live ants in one area of the home.
- A trail of ants, possibly starting outside and leading inside.
- Ant nests that look like small piles of soil or dirt.
- Dead ants, particularly around a window.
Early detection and professional ant control keep a small problem from becoming a bigger one. B's technicians know how to find the colony and identify which species is present, and quotes are free.
Bed Bug and Cockroach Treatment
Bed bugs and cockroaches both hide deep in cracks and furniture and reproduce faster than a single treatment can keep up with. B's schedules an inspection first, then treats with a plan that covers every life stage, as a one-time service or a regular service program.
Tree and Shrub Care
B's yard and tree spraying programs include dormant oil applications for aphids, spider mites, spittlebugs, leafrollers, leafminers, elm leaf beetles, leafhoppers, moths, and other pests that damage landscape plants. B's also treats for pine borer and pine pitch moth. Systemic injections for trees and shrubs give year-long insect control against aphids, elm leaf beetles, and bronze birch borer, a pest that can kill white birch trees.
Commercial Pest Control
Restaurants, hotels, office buildings, and other commercial facilities face pest pressure that a home does not. Deliveries bring cockroaches in with the boxes. Dumpsters draw rodents. Guests and health inspectors notice a single pest. B's builds commercial pest management plans for the type of business and the pests present. Regular inspections and ongoing service keep a facility pest-free between visits, rather than reacting after a problem is found.
Every commercial and residential plan starts with a free inspection, so the plan fits the property before any treatment begins.
