Termites are one of the most destructive forces of nature that a homeowner can face. Unfortunately, a lot of the damage that they cause goes unseen in the early stages. Early detection is the best way to prevent thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to your home.
You’ve worked hard to create a comfortable home for your family and friends, and the last thing that you want is to share it with uninvited animals or insects. The good news is that you can avoid most infestations with an “ounce of prevention!”
During the summertime, insect and wild animal activity is at its peak, and most of us spend a lot of these months swatting insects, and waiting for the weather outside to get cooler. But during this time of year, insects aren’t the only thing that you have to worry about. Larger pests, such as squirrels, opossum, and raccoons are always on the lookout for a quiet place to sleep (and often give birth to their offspring), and they love attics and crawl spaces! Once they get inside, uninvited animals can be very difficult to detect and safely remove, which is why it’s always advantageous to be proactive, and always on the lookout for ways that they can access your home.
As summer winds down, temperatures will start to get cooler, and we owe it to ourselves to spend as much time outdoors as we can. Unfortunately, there will still be a lot of mosquitoes and outdoor pests to deal with, and they can ruin an outdoor gathering in a hurry!
Summer vacations are a richly earned reward for yet another year of hard work. Unfortunately, you won’t always know the procedures for bed bug control and bed bug treatment at the places that you stay. Bed bugs are excellent at hiding, and can survive for a very long time without feeding. And it doesn’t really matter if you’re staying at a five star resort or a small, low-budget roadside inn: cleanliness isn’t always an effective deterrent. What we do know is that bed bugs are active anywhere that large numbers of people sleep, and that even though they’re not known to carry diseases, they’re definitely a nuisance.
