3 warning signs of a pest infestation
It may seem as though the infestation that made you call a pest control service happened overnight. However, there are warning signs that typically come before the invasion. Unusual sights, sounds, and smells can alert you to the problem. Here are some of the common red flags pest control services encounter:
- Sights: Look for frayed or chewed electrical wires. Any piles of debris around the outside of your house could be their nest. Holes and sawdust are signs of their intrusion into your home. Aside from structural damage, take other unusual happenings into account. Dried blood flecks are a very common sign of bedbugs. Carcasses or discarded exoskeletons do not necessarily mean the pest came to your house for a quick visit. There could very well be others.
- Smell: Even the smallest pest leaves traces that are noticeable. Search for droppings inside and outside of your home. Nests made out of trash and debris are also a sign of an infestation.
- Sounds: Larger pests (such as rats and raccoons) make very audible sounds. Pay attention to your pets, who have more sensitive ears. If they are consistently staring at a spot in the wall or floor, it’s possible they are hearing the pests move.
Taking steps to eradicate the pests at the first warning sign can typically fix the problem or help prevent it from becoming worse. If these signs are familiar to you, search for an accredited pest control service near you.
When to hire a professional exterminator
Your local hardware and grocery store are most likely stocked with cans and powders for DIY pest control. So, when it is necessary to hire a local exterminator? Consider these three main reasons people hire a local pest control service.
- To stop or prevent serious damage: Small pests such as carpenter ants, termites, or rats can cause a lot of harm to a home’s foundation.
- Dangerous: Scorpions, black widows, bees, and snakes can strike back if you attempt to eliminate them on your own. To keep you and your loved ones safe from harm, consider hiring a local exterminator. They will have the necessary experience and materials to safely remove dangerous pests.
- Overwhelming infestation: A small trail of ants appears be an easy task to manage. Yet, when those ants return again and again, growing in number each time, you may need to contact a pest control service to end their intrusion.
Check with your local zoning office to determine if you need to apply for a permit for your new deck. Patio and deck builders will often apply for the permit and schedule the inspection on your behalf.
How to keep your pet safe during an infestation
Many chemicals found in household sprays can be harmful to your pet. Whether you approach the problem yourself or hire a local exterminator, there are several things you can do to keep your pet safe as you eradicate pests from your home.
- Prevention: Stay alert to the warning signs of a pest infestation. Use a monthly flea and tick treatment on your pet, as prescribed by your vet.
- Separation: Do not let your pet near the pest. Alive, a pest can carry parasites that can transfer to your pet. Dead insecticides or poison can be harmful to your pet if they ingest the carcass.
- Use a professional pest control service: The right pest control service will know how to effectively treat your home for pests with a solution that will not harm your pet.
- Homemade remedy: Approach a low-grade infestation naturally with a safe solution of liquid dish soap and warm water. Or use a bait station instead of a spray. Choose a location where the pet will not come into contact with the trap.
Still uncertain about safely and effectively treating your home for pests? Contact an accredited pest control service near you.
