Common Household Pests and Termites

When it comes to common household pests, there are a variety of unwanted visitors that you may run into throughout the year. As the type varies per season, keeping an eye on your residence is helpful as doing so can help you catch potential problems early. If you do notice anything that you feel could use professional attention, the experts at IPM Pest & Termite can certainly assist you in mitigating the issue.

Bed bugs and mice are two types of common household pests that you could run into at this time of the year. When ridding your property of mice or rats, using snap traps is the most effective method. This allows you to keep the rodent contained in one area, which guarantees that they will not contaminate your surroundings before disposal. These traps can either be used out of the way or in protective boxes in order to ensure that any children or pets will not be injured as well.

As previously mentioned, bed bugs are another type of unexpected guest that you could encounter throughout the year. These insects, which are about the length of an apple seed, have long and flat oval-shaped bodies. One of the things about these common household pests that may alert you to their existence are potential allergic reactions to their bites. While not everyone who is bitten will see noticeable changes, some will notice small red bumps or welts that are clustered together in groups of three.

Due to the fact that these bugs hide in dark places, such as spines of books or mattress seams, catching them can prove to be difficult for the average person. Therefore, contacting us to help rid your home of these common household pests is a great step to take. As we typically do not require extensive prep before treating the area, we can help you quickly move through the process of restoring your home to its natural state. Heat-treating, vacuuming, or using pesticides are all things that we may consider when it comes to getting rid of these insects.

Other types of common household pests that you could encounter are cockroaches and mosquitoes. German cockroaches have the ability to inhabit your home year round. In many cases, they will scatter when the light is turned on, which means that you may not see them as often throughout the day. However, our team of experts can help you learn the most effective path to making sure your house is free of these insects. Mosquitos can also prove to be a nuisance at certain times. Making sure that items in your yard are not holding small pools of water and treating your home every 21 days are both great steps to take in terms of prevention.
