Home & Garden Pest Control

Why You Should Call an Exterminator Even If You Don"t See Bugs

How many times do you have your children wash their hands in a day? Do you use sanitizer after the bathroom, touching a shopping cart, or going to the gym? These are all great ways to stay germ free and healthy, but what about the insects and allergens living in your home that you don't see and aren't physically touching? Lots of people have learned about dust mites and vacuuming and washing their sheets frequently, but what about wood destroying insects and rodents that could be destroying your home, not just your allergies.
Termites can eat up to a pound of wood per day! As if that isn't bad enough, they only swarm once a year for a brief time, so you might not even know your home is infested.
Back to your health - bugs eat, bugs defecate - in you house.
Preventative measures can significantly reduce your risk of the health complications this can cause.
Especially when you think of the bites and allergic reactions that can also occur.
Besides the bug prevention, how many times do you wander down to your crawlspace, or nose around the foundation of you property? I certainly don't think of it, or go there unless there is a problem.
By having a pest management professional to your home annually, not only are you protected against having your home eaten by wood destroying insects, but you also have someone thoroughly inspecting your foundation or crawlspace.
Technicians notice things like mold, water leaks, puddling, and other hazardous problems that you might not have noticed until it is very costly to remedy.
Pest control companies can not only treat for bugs, but good ones can sanitize a crawlspace or install vapor barriers that deter mold.
Think about it...
for the amount you spend in soap and sanitizer in a year, you would also be protected against insects that lead to just as many problems.
By maintaining a pest management plan, your home will be cleaner, safer, and under a watchful eye! Call your local pest management professional today to set up and insect evaluation inspection and protect your family and investment.
