Stopping Occasional Invaders

If you have ever turned on a light or moved a book on a shelf only to see an unwanted visitor, you know how surprising the arrival of such household pests can be. While the type may differ throughout the year, the desire to restore your home to its natural state is likely the same regardless of the type of unwanted guest you have encountered. At IPM Pest & Termite, our friendly and dedicated team members can show you how to begin stopping occasional invaders or begin curbing an existing issue.

Throughout the summer months, you may notice ants and spiders more frequently. If so, stopping occasional invaders such as these is easy with the assistance of our trained professionals. Ants, which live in groups called colonies, have the ability to enter your home through tiny crevices. This means that they can easily invade your property unbeknownst to you. Once you have noticed them, it is important to identify which type is present. After contacting us, we can determine whether they are acrobat ants, carpenter ants, or another kind.

From there, we can then begin creating a plan to rid your home of these unexpected guests. However, there are things that you can do yourself in order to mitigate a problem or stop it before it even starts. Trimming bushes, sealing exposed wood, and removing dead stumps are all great steps to take when it comes to stopping occasional invaders.

As previously mentioned, spiders are yet another issue that many homeowners run into throughout the hotter months of the year. Some, such as the yellow sac spider, have a tendency to live between the wall and ceiling of a room. On the other hand, dangerous types, like black widows and brown recluses, are typically located in dark and undisturbed places. Whatever the case may be, we are here to help you when it comes to stopping occasional invaders.

While some household pests are seen during different times of the year, others, like bed bugs, can appear at any time. These small, reddish-brown insects will likely appear in tight clusters or hard-to-reach places. These can include mattress seams or book spines. Due to the fact that they can easily be picked up in gyms, stores, or hotels, it can be difficult to avoid bringing them home. If you believe you have a bed bug issue, removing clutter from your residence, washing your bed linens on the hottest setting, and inspecting secondhand furniture can certainly make a difference. Whether you are interested in stopping occasional invaders or tackling a year-round problem, we are here to help.
