Effective pest control involves making informed decisions and thorough actions designed to rid of pests and effectively prevent them from entering the home once they’re gone.

Ants and Other Bugs. Carpenter ants are extremely problematic for the home. Carpenter ants do not eat wood; however, they create tiny tunnels within wood to form their homes. They can have a few nests situated around the home or in the home. They are much like termites in that their tunnels disturb the structural integrity of each piece of wood. The usual indication that a home has carpenter ants is piles of what appears to be sawdust. Another indication that a home has carpenter ants is the evidence of consistent trails of ants disappearing in one side of the home while exiting another part of the home.

Cockroaches are probably one of the most undesirable pests, next to rodents. Cockroaches are another pest that are difficult to rid of and can put homeowners in harm’s way. Cockroaches carry diseases. Much of what they eat and their method for getting around puts them in less that desirable areas, such as sewers, pipes, cat litters, trash cans and other dirty, germ-filled areas. To make matters worse, they are often found in bathrooms and the kitchen where they can spread their germs and diseases to several family members and guests.

They can also carry disease and cause substantial problems in allergies due to their droppings.
