Pest Control Companies
Do I really need a Pest Control Company to kill my bugs?
Of course I may have a few issues with bugs….but does that mean that I really need to call an exterminator?
Well…..lets explore your question a little further, what bug issues do you have?
For the past few days I've seen several ants on my kitchen window sill and over the weekend I noticed these little white termites in the mulch in my flower bed and on rare occasions I see what looks like roaches flying around my porch light.
– Your home could contain hundreds to thousands of ants.
– The bigger the population the more nests are possible, 4 or 5 nests at one house would not be unusual.
– Ants nest in wall voids under window sills, around and inside appliances, under rocks and splash blocks, they have even been found in a mailbox.
– Ants can move the nest often and sometimes return to a nest site.
– Ants prefer sweets but will eat almost anything even dead insects.
