Common Household Pests in Homes

In Kentucky, you may find several types of pests visiting your home unannounced. The list of common household pests includes a wide variety of creatures, ranging from bedbugs to German cockroaches. However, we at IPM Pest & Termite are well equipped to handle whatever circumstance you may be facing. Here, we will discuss several types of unwanted visitors you may be sharing your home with.

Bed bugs, which are fairly common, are an issue that many Kentucky residents have noticed at some point. These small, reddish-brown insects like to burrow in your home and reside in tight, hidden spaces. Some people may develop allergic reactions to their bites, but they are not capable of spreading or transmitting disease. They may easily enter your home without detection by being brought in on furniture, clothing, or bedding. These common household pests can be dealt with the assistance of IPM Pest & Termite as we have effective ways of treating your home to eradicate this issue.

German cockroaches are another type of common household pest that we see when treating customers' houses. These year-round insects like areas that house a lot of moisture and warmth. They also prefer dark areas. In addition to the two types of aforementioned pests, we also have plans of action to deal with ants, termites, and more.

To begin the process, we will conduct an inspection to fully understand the existing issue. Then, our friendly and knowledgeable team will start to advise you on the course of action that we deem to be the best option for your particular case. We also offer education so that you can fully understand what has happened and what will take place. Additionally, we offer preventative steps and entry hole sealing so that any future common household pests that are present are prevented from entering your home.

For purposes of initial identification, feel free to email a picture of the common household pests to us and we will be able to give you a general direction of what they are and how to treat them. We ask that you place a penny beside them because that makes the identification process easier.
