There are many household pests that want to invade your home, and specific strategies that you can apply to reduce your risk of an infestation. But when it comes to bed bug control, you’re dealing with small parasitic creatures that feed on the blood of humans and pets, and unlike other insects, cleanliness seems not to be a deterrent.
The last thing you want to see in your home is a sign that termites have moved in. Annually, termites cause damage to over 600,000 homes in the U.S., costing an average of $3,000 per home in repairs. Amazingly, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has estimated that slightly more than half of all Americans have never had a termite inspection performed on their homes!
