Pest Library
Certain pests arrive with a buzz, others leave a trail of destruction, and a few work silently until the damage becomes quite evident. In this guide, we focus on 3 pests that cause persistent problems for homes and businesses alike. We go through biting mosquitoes, resourceful rodents, and structure-weakening termites. Comprehending their habits is a basic step toward long-term protection.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are far more than an itchy summertime insect. These slender and winged insects thrive in locations with standing water, where females lay hundreds of eggs at a time. Their bites can spread dangerous illnesses such as West Nile, Dengue, and Zika virus, affecting people and pets. Effective mosquito control always begins by getting rid of breeding sites and applying targeted treatments to high-activity areas.
Rodents
Rodents such as mice and rats have a knack for slipping into the tiniest of openings, searching for shelter and food. Once they are inside, they can contaminate stored goods, chew through wiring, and nest in insulation materials. Their droppings and urine carry pathogens, raising health risks for any individual exposed. Long-term control implies securing entry points and wiping out attractants alongside responsible trapping techniques.
Termites
Termites operate discreetly but relentlessly, feeding on cellulose-rich materials such as wood, paper, and even drywall backing. Subterranean varieties build hidden mud tubes to reach food sources from their underground colonies. As infestations normally go unnoticed until damage turns severe, scheduled inspections and preventive treatments are vital to protect structural integrity and avoid major repair bills.
