If you have a pest problem that is causing misery in your home or workplace, you may be interested to know whether it is something you should take seriously. Many people often tolerate severe infestation or nuisance when it could be the source of structural damage and even illness. Here is a list of the top five pests that create problems in your area, and what you should do when they make an appearance.
Bedbugs
Here is the bad news: bedbugs have experienced a population surge after developing a resistance to the chemicals previously used to kill them. If you have recently brought storage or old packaging into your house, your home could be at risk of harboring this pest. If you start to scratch after a night’s sleep, don’t hesitate to call your local pest control company. The good news is we now have the rights chemicals to eradicate bed bugs forever.
Ants
Ants can very quickly overwhelm your home. Even though most species don’t give painful bites, they are still capable of causing structural damage to your house and ruining your garden. Call an expert to take care of this problem so that you can rest easy when leaving food or drink around your home. A simple spray is not enough to rid yourself of these creepy crawlies and can also damage surfaces and irritate pets.
Cockroaches
If a cockroach can survive a nuclear bomb blast, you can be sure it can endure a spray from an insecticide can. There is nothing so distasteful as turning on the lights in a room and seeing these things scatter under the furniture.
A little-known fact: Did you know that if you squash a female cockroach, her eggs will still hatch? If this is not a scenario that you fancy, it is time to call Detroit’s top pest control firm if you live within the area, so that they can advise you how to take care of this problem.
Spiders
There is a reason why spiders feature prominently on everyone’s least favorite bugs list—they are terrifying and are often poisonous—both very good motives to call a pest control company to come and remove spider nests from your home. This is especially important if you have young children or elderly people in the house. They are the most susceptible to spiders hiding in the sheets or clothing.
Fleas and Flies
When there is one fly or flea, you can be sure that there will be many more, sometimes in the hundreds. These pests multiply rapidly and cause distress for both family and pets in the months when they are most prolific. If you want to control a fly or flea infestation without having to resort to lifestyle changes such as ripping up carpets and installing screens on the windows, then simply call your friendly, local pest control specialist. They will be able to ascertain what is causing the problem and eliminate the habitats where they are breeding.
