When it comes to residential pest control, many homeowners assume they can handle a pest infestation on their own – but this can be a costly and time-consuming mistake. Home pest control services can be more beneficial than you think, and can save you time, money, and hassle in the long run.
Here's what Sugar Land residents should know about the types of pests that may invade your home, the problems they can cause, the hassles with DIY pest control, and how pest control in Sugar Land can keep your home pest-free.
Unfortunately, there is no shortage of pests that may invade your Sugar Land home. Residential pest control companies like those of us at All-Safe Pest & Termite have experience combating all sorts of common pests in the Sugar Land area, including:
There is no end to the number of pests that can invade Sugar Land homes or the problems they bring with them.
While any kind of pest problem can be troubling, some pests can cause issues beyond a simple nuisance. Unfortunately, many pests can contaminate food, damage property, and even spread disease or otherwise compromise your health.
Pests such as cockroaches, flies, and some species of ants can contaminate food and surfaces with disease-causing bacteria. Rodents are also capable of contaminating food and spreading diseases such as hantavirus, tularemia, and rat-bite fever.
Other pests, like fleas and bed bugs, bite humans. Fleas can transmit diseases to both pets and people. Although bed bugs are not vectors of disease, they leave itchy bites and can affect your sleep. Some spiders also bite, and in the case of the black widow and the brown recluse, this can cause serious symptoms.
Pests like bees, wasps, fire ants, and scorpions are all known to sting. Stinging insects like bees and wasps will sting if disturbed or threatened. This is painful for anyone, but is particularly serious for those with an allergy to bee and wasp venom. Fire ants can be aggressive and won’t hesitate to sting if you accidentally disturb their mound nest. Scorpions also pack a mean sting and can cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to their venom.
Another issue with pests is the risk of property damage. Termites are notorious for causing expensive damage to wooden structures. Rats and mice can also damage your home by gnawing on drywall, pipes, wiring, and other materials. When rodents chew on electrical wires, this can potentially start a fire.
Regardless of which pest you're dealing with, you can expect problems – whether it's the risk of disease, property damage, or even just becoming a time-consuming nuisance.
Homeowners may think they can tackle residential pest control in Sugar Land on their own, but DIY solutions rarely work out. With many pests, including bed bugs, ants, cockroaches, termites, and more, you need to eliminate the entire infestation to get rid of the problem.
Most over-the-counter sprays and baits can eliminate some of your pests, but they rarely kill off the entire infestation. Any survivors that withstand your DIY treatments will just continue reproducing, and within a few months, you'll be back where you started.
Even if you're trying to use home remedies to get rid of pests, not all DIY or home remedies even work. For instance, placing your furniture in the sun is a home remedy for getting rid of termites, but this does not work.
Along with working with professionals to find the right treatment plan for you, there are steps you can take to deter pests. While there are specific prevention tips for each pest, here are some general guidelines you can follow to prevent pests from getting inside your Sugar Land home:
