Ants, Cockroaches, Termites, Mosquitoes, and Fleas are Your Smallest Nightmares

The most annoying bugs and pests you can have in your home are the ones that are nowhere to be seen. These bugs can transmit diseases and destroy houses without even being detected. So be on the lookout to keep these pests from invading your home.

Nader’s Top 5 Pests to Watch Out For

1. Ants: With more than 700 different species and growing, ants are known all over the world. More and more species will make their presence in the U.S. as people travel abroad and give ants a free ride. All of these different species have to be treated and exterminated differently as they are from all over the world. If you spot any ant colonies forming or already formed, then contact a pest professional immediately before you have a full-blown infestation.  
2. Mosquitos: These tiny, annoying, and persistent bugs are a person’s worst enemy come spring, summer, and early fall. Mosquitoes are notorious for sneaking in, biting, and leaving without you ever knowing…until you start scratching that little red welt left behind. Every person has had an experience with this, and we have never heard someone scream from happiness about it. These little bloodsuckers are not only annoying, but they can carry diseases such as the West Nile Virus and can live around the smallest amount of stagnant water. So make sure that you’re cleaning up water spills around your house, and not leaving any stagnant water in your yard or the surrounding area to prevent mosquitoes from taking over.
3. 3.       Termites: These are the homeowner’s worst, but smallest nightmare. They cause more home damage in the U.S. than storms and fires combined. Termite damage is usually not covered in most basic home insurance packages, so the best route is to get a year-round protection plan from a professional pest control center.
4. 4.       Cockroaches: These little brown bugs can reproduce quickly with the female being able to lay up to 50 eggs at one time. Home invasions to cockroaches are all in a day’s work. Protect your home and kill cockroaches the moment you see them. If you start to see an unusual number of cockroaches, contact a professional pest control center.
5. 5.       Fleas: If you have fleas, check the dog first, but if you don’t have a dog…check your home. More homes without dogs in them are being infested with fleas, so you can’t blame Fido for the fleas anymore. To prevent fleas from breeding in your home, vacuum your carpet often and if you have a dog, bathe it frequently.

If you follow these guidelines on how to identify and prevent these pests, your house can be much more enjoyable for you and your family. We hope this information can help keep your home pest-free in 2014!
