Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem
Cockroaches are nocturnal insects that
are adept at hiding in narrow areas, so it can be difficult to know if
you have a cockroach problem. If you see one cockroach, there is a good
chance that there are more hiding and multiplying within the walls of
your home. Here are three things that indicate a cockroach problem.
1. Cockroach feces will be visible.
Small roaches will produce feces that
look like coffee grounds or black pepper. Larger roaches will leave
behind cylindrical droppings. They may be left in dark, moist places
where roaches prefer to hide.
2. Unpleasant smells may be noticeable.
Some species of cockroaches have a
distinct and unpleasant odor. Even if you cannot smell an individual
roach, their stink may be noticeable in an infestation. The insects will
smell oily or musty, and the fragrance can be difficult to eliminate.
3. Bodies of dead cockroaches and egg cases can be found.
With an infestation roaches will leave
behind evidence of their lifecycle, sometimes dying in visible places.
They will also leave egg cases in less hidden places. They may be
visible behind furniture or appliances.
Any one of these signs you have a cockroach problem should be addressed by professional pest control. Visit this website to learn more about cockroach control and rodent proofing in Mountain View.

Top 3 Reasons to Remove Termites
Termites are undoutedly a
nuscience, just like any other pest, but you may not realize just how
much damage they can do to your home or your finances. Learn three
reasons to take care of termites as soon as possible.
1. They Can Go Undetected for Years
When you finally do recognize the signs of termites, they might have been gnawing on your home for years. Yes, years.
This means your home has sustained years of damage you’ll need to
inspect and take care of once you’ve handled your termite problem. The
longer you wait to remove termites, the more you’re likely to spend on
repairing your home.
2. The More You Have, the Harder They Are to Get Rid Of
It’s true that it takes
several years for termites to cause a building collapse, but the more
termites you have, the more work it takes to take care of them. All of
that extra work translates into extra cost.
3. They Eat More Than Wood
Termites might have a
change in appetite and start eating away at your books, insulation,
paper, cardboard, landscaping mulch and even your paper money. Don’t
give termites a chance to eat you out of house and home before you take
action.

Little Baby Bed Bugs
The good news is that these bed bugs will get bigger and be easier to see. The bad news is that’s how you know you’ve got a real problem. Hire an exterminator sooner than later.
The Importance of Ridding Your House of Bed Bugs
Few things are more
terrifying than discovering you have bed bugs. While bed bugs aren’t
known to carry human diseases, they are known to cause disgust,
frustration and financial woes when it comes to getting rid of them. If
you suspect you have a bed bug infestation, you should know why to get
rid of them as soon as possible.
Your Mental Health
When you have bed bugs,
your home becomes a place of unease. You can’t sleep at night and you
can’t concentrate on anything else until you know every last bed bug has
been exterminated. This mental fatigue can take a toll on your health
and your job performance.
You Can Get a Secondary Infection
Bed bugs don’t carry
diseases, but they have been known to cause secondary infections if a
person who’s bitten scratches at the bite. There have also been
instances where a person exposed to the skin bed bugs leave behind has
an anaphylactic or asthmatic reaction.
Property Value
If you plan on putting
your home on the market, the presence of bed bugs can make it nearly
impossible to sell. Even if you don’t disclose the presence of the
pests, they may be discovered during an inspection.

Signs You Should Call a Pest Control Company
There are some pests
problems you can take care of on your own and others that require the
help of a professional. In either case, it’s best you leave nothing to
chance. Know when you’re better off calling a trusted pest control
company rather than leaving things to time or your own methods.
You Have Moisture Problems
Termites and cockroaches
love dark and wet places, and you might not always know you have a
moisture problem. Inspect your home in and out for signs of mildew, mold
and moisture. If there’s rotted wood in your home or cockroaches
skittering around areas of wetness in your home, get in touch with an
exterminator ASAP.
You See Them During the Day
Cockroaches mainly appear
during the night under cover of darkness. Should you ever see them
during the day, chances are your pest problem is bigger than you
realize. Properties that are older are likely to have pests and might
require fumigation.
They Keep Coming Back
When you try to take care
of bugs, mice and other pests on your own and they keep coming back,
it’s time to bring in the big guns. Save yourself time, money and
frustration and leave the job to the pros.
