There are a wide variety of different insects that can be classified as household pests, but what they all have in common is that they can disrupt the daily lives of a house’s occupants if they are not dealt with immediately. The best way to handle household pests is to call a Pest Exterminator in Harford County. Read on to find out about two of the most popular services these professionals offer.
Bedbug Extermination
While bedbugs do not have a negative impact on the health of the people that they choose to bite, they can certainly cause a good deal of discomfort and aggravation. There is a misconception that bedbugs will only take up residence in homes that are dirty or otherwise unsanitary, but the reality is that bedbugs are not picky; they can live anywhere that has wooden structures or nooks and crannies where they can hide.
Unfortunately, bedbugs have been on the rise since the EPA banned the use of DDT pesticides, so more people than ever are experiencing infestations. These pests are also extremely difficult to eradicate, which is why it’s a good idea for any homeowner who believes there is any possibility of a bedbug infestation to call a Pest Exterminator in Harford County as soon as possible to improve the chances of successful eradication.
Termite Control
Termites can wreak substantial property damage if they are left to their own devices, yet much of the damage they cause is not visible to the naked eye. The best way for homeowners to determine whether or not they have termites is to perform a brief inspection, which typically involves looking for signs of termite detritus and tapping on wooden walls and surfaces with a hard object to test them for termites. If it sounds like the otherwise solid wood is hollow, chances are there are termites inside it destroying the structure from the inside.
Given that termites can significantly weaken a home’s structural integrity if they are not eradicated immediately, it should go without saying that the first signs of a termite infestation should prompt homeowners to call in a professional for help.
