When it comes to pest control services, “best” can vary depending on your location, the type of pest you’re dealing with, and your specific needs. Here are some general tips to help you find a reliable pest control service.
All our contractors deal with:
Bedbugs
Bed bugs typically hide in cracks and crevices near a food source, usually in human environments. They’re quite common to find inside furniture, behind moldings, and of course, in mattresses and beds. While bed bugs don’t transmit disease, they are known to bite people and leave itchy sores. These pests can be difficult to detect, so it’s important to have a professional remove them from your home completely.
Termites
Termites are a common pest in homes, especially those built with wood. These pests are responsible for billions of dollars in structural damage in the United States each year. These insects often eat through the wood of a home, leaving the exterior intact, giving homeowners the impression that they are free of infestation. If you find termites in your area, you will likely need professional pest control.
Roaches
Cockroaches are one of the most common pests in the United States. Due to their unsanitary habits and the unhealthy environment they create, they cause major problems for the food industry. Since some can withstand extreme conditions and temperatures, they can be difficult to get rid of from your home. It is common to encounter a single cockroach. If you notice this happening frequently, you should contact a professional.
Ants
Ants can cause significant damage to homes as they search for food and water. They are usually attracted to common foods used in the kitchen, such as sweets, oils, fats, and meats. Ants typically build nests in the foundation of a home, in walls, under floors, and even inside appliances. Getting rid of ants in your home can be difficult because they tend to move quickly when their nests are threatened, but an exterminator can help, and there are many traps and sprays available for purchase.
Bees
Bees are clean insects that go about their daily business. They are not particularly aggressive, but they can become so if disturbed or threatened. They are not considered pests because they perform many functions that are beneficial to humans and the environment. Approaching a bee hive is extremely dangerous, so it should be left to an experienced beekeeper.
Mosquitos
Mosquitoes typically live in areas with tall grass, bushes, weeds, and standing water. These habitats are usually found near residential areas such as homes and buildings. Most people are familiar with the annoyance of a single mosquito at night, but a mosquito infestation can be much worse. Eliminating a mosquito infestation is a difficult task that requires appropriate knowledge and experience in the field.
