Protecting Your Property from Pests
One thing that every homeowner has to, and probably hates, dealing with are pests. Each season brings its own unique kinds of pests to deal with, and each home will have to deal with different pests in different ways. At IPM Pest & Termite, our specialists can help you learn more about which unwanted guests may appear throughout the year and learn useful information so that you can better identify and combat potential issues down the road.
Spring Pests
The arrival of spring means you may begin seeing more ants, swarm termites, and mosquitoes around your home. All of these insects can be potentially damaging to buildings or harmful to your health, so it's essential to act quickly and efficiently to rid the surrounding area of these nuisances.
You must first identify which type is present when it comes to ant control. This is where our experts can come into play. Thanks to our experience in the field, we can identify whether you are dealing with acrobat ants, carpenter ants, or another type. From there, we can create a tailored blueprint that fits your needs. Determining which type of invader is present will dictate the course of action.
These insects can enter through tiny openings in and around your home, so working with our team of professionals can highlight problem areas that you may have missed; as for steps you can take on your own, consider trimming bushes, sealing exposed wood, and fixing any moisture problems, such as leaking roofs.
As previously mentioned, termites and mosquitoes can also cause issues throughout the spring. Fortunately, our experts are here to inspect your property and develop a targeted attack plan to keep your home pest free year round.
Summer Pests
During the summer, you may encounter spiders, house centipedes, and year-round invaders like bed bugs. Bed bugs are tiny, reddish insects that can easily be transported back to your home from nearly anywhere. This means that hotels, gyms, and even stores can provide the right conditions for these hitchhiking insects to make their way to your home. And, once they're there, they like to hide in small areas, such as mattress seams. If you're wondering if bed bugs are present in your home, look for case skins and red welts. Our expert team can help you identify any possible pest infestations and deal with them appropriately.
Fall and Winter
Once fall and winter roll around, other types of pests will emerge, including but not limited to moles and mice. Regardless of the issue, we are happy to put our years of experience to work for you as we begin actively working to restore your home to its normal state.
