Helpful Hints About Household Pest Control

Throughout the year, you may stumble upon various household pests in or around your property. Whether they sneak in through small cracks or have taken up residence alongside the exterior of your home, these unwanted guests can certainly be a nuisance. Fortunately, our team of experts at IPM Pest & Termite can offer helpful hints about household pest control so that you can rid your home of any and all unexpected visitors. Here are just a few tips for doing just that.

Bed Bug Removal

One of the most common issues we face in our line of work is the presence of bed bugs. These small reddish-brown insects can easily be transported from a variety of places, such as hotels and gyms, so it's easy to unknowingly pick them up and bring them back to your home. On top of that, they can also hide inside bedding, used furniture, or other objects. And, once they have hitchhiked to your residence, they can easily go undetected for quite some time, as they are known for lurking inside the seams of mattresses and the spines of books.

So, how can you tell that bed bugs are present within your home? For starters, you may notice case skins. As juvenile bed bugs age, they shed their skins, which is a telltale sign that a problem exists. Additionally, you could also notice welts that result from bites or actually see the insects themselves.

When it comes to eradication, leave it to our team of professionals to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Our plan will likely include a range of approaches, which could revolve around vacuuming up the insects, heat-treating the area, or using pesticides. Once you get in touch, our specialists can create a blueprint that works for you.

Getting Rid of Termites

Of course, bed bugs are not the only type of invader that you may encounter. Termites are another common problem that we speak to our clients about. These bugs, which are most active from March to July/August, can have a disastrous impact on your home if not properly handled.

The techniques that we use will get rid of the entire colony, not just the surface invaders. So, you won't have to worry about repeat infestations.

All of our treatments are performed by licensed professionals, so you can rest assured that you will receive quality service no matter the issue at hand. Plus, our IPM Pest & Termite warranty guarantees that you will also receive an annual inspection to check up on the status of your home following completion of the extermination.
