Learn From The Pros

Waterbugs are aquatic insects that prey on various types of creatures living in slow-moving water such as ponds and lakes. While they can be found indoors, they are often a case of mistaken identity. American and oriental cockroaches have a similar build and size to waterbugs, but are much more invasive. Most waterbug extermination calls result in finding roaches instead of actual waterbugs.

Waterbug Extermination Near You

Waterbugs are insects that tend to frighten homeowners due to their size and close appearance to American and oriental cockroaches. These predatory bugs can reach close to three inches in length! The good news is that more often than not, the bug you spotted in your damp basement is most likely not a true waterbug. The bad news? It’s probably a cockroach which is a significantly more invasive species. When you call us for waterbug extermination, we’ll be sure to investigate thoroughly to determine exactly which pest has decided to move into your home . . . and eliminate them.

Fresh Water Predator . . . or Imposter?

Waterbugs are fierce predators of the fresh water-world and feed on other insects, amphibians, and even fish. That doesn’t mean they don’t leave their watery home. Attracted by front porch lights, it’s quite possible they will find their way inside, but they aren’t going to invade like their look-a-like friends, American cockroaches. That’s why it’s really important to have one of our experts inspect your home. Knowing which of these pests you’re dealing with, determines how we treat them.

The technician, Dylan Post was very thorough. He rebaited the traps (which were empty) in the basement & garage. He said that there was slight activity and advised us to remove the bird seed stored in the garage, which we are doing. He then went outside to complete his work around the perimeter of the house. He advised that we schedule a follow up in two weeks, which we did.

We appreciate Dylan's helpful attitude and considerable knowledge.

Sincerely,
Lillian Brenwasser

Incredibly professional, on time, thorough in every way. Honestly its harder and harder to find people who care about their craft and take the time to make it feel like they value you as a customer, that happened today. I strongly recommend Kapture Pest Control to anyone who needs an exterminator.

Highly recommend Kapture! Called them when we saw an uninvited guest in our basement. They quickly understood our concerns, answered all of our questions and immediately booked an appointment for one of their highly trained and experienced employees for a service call. Fabio came the next day and we instantly felt at ease that our problem would be fixed! Fabio was the consummate professional, answering our questions and providing the answers and confidence we were hoping for. Fabio went to work and the within 2 days our uninvited guests were no longer! Never did we think it would be resolved so quickly, and we owe our sincere thanks and gratitude to Fabio and Kapture for their efforts, follow up and outstanding communication throughout the entire ordeal. We were so impressed with this company and all the other services that they offer, that we instantaneously wanted a service contract with them as insurance and preventative maintenance. This company is the best!

Richard the Salesman from Freehold was amazing! He explained everything in detail to me and you can not beat the price! He was very professional and it when it came to my concerns, he answered every question. He even told me everything that was included in the price. I had Orkin and I always had an issue and had to wait long for them to come to the property. These guys come fast and everything was covered and no added extra fees. This is a great Pest control and its highly recommended.

Very professional gentleman; he went over and explain everything to me as the secretary did on the phone with me; and he was punctual within the time limit.
I like the encounters the minute they contact me until the technician arrives.

I use Kapture for both my business and my home. Their team is professional, flexible, and friendly, which makes working with them a pleasure.

What really sets Kapture apart is the personal attention you get from a small, accommodating business.

I appreciate how responsive and easy they are to work with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable service with a human touch.

I had an urgent need with a mouse trapped in a bathroom :-) my neighbor referred me to Kapture and Jordan was terrific. As was Kasha in the office who was very patient and gave me all the details and prices beforehand. I am so grateful that she was able to schedule him for today, and he got the mouse! And he did a whole inspection and will be back in two weeks. The best!
