At Blackwood Pest Solutions, we believe that knowledge is one of the most powerful tools in pest prevention. That’s why we created the Pest Encyclopedia—a helpful resource to help you identify, understand, and take action against pests affecting your home or business. Whether you’re dealing with crawling insects, unwanted rodents, or seasonal invaders, this guide gives you the insight you need to stay one step ahead. Each pest profile includes what the pest looks like, how it behaves, where it hides, and the warning signs of an infestation. You’ll also learn the potential risks to your health and property—so you can make informed decisions about when to act. But it’s not just about identification—prevention matters, too. You’ll find practical, expert-backed tips for keeping pests out, from sealing entry points and maintaining your landscape to improving sanitation. We also provide seasonal insights to help you prepare before pests become a problem.
