We all do things for our homes that we know we need, like buying insurance, providing regular maintenance, and performing repairs when needed. With everything a homeowner has to worry about, pest control services can be quickly forgotten. Pest control is the first step in protecting a home and family from the dangers and damages pests can inflict. Here are some signs that you need pest control for your home:

• Sightings: Seeing a pest is the most obvious sign. If you see any type of pest in your home, you can assume there are more nearby. In the case of termites, you can usually count on large colonies and satellite colonies from overflowing nests.

• Urine & Feces: Urine and feces found in or around your food, kitchen, pantry, or anywhere in your home can be a serious health concern for you, your family, and pets. Many pests can carry deadly illnesses that need to be taken care of immediately. Not to mention the terrible odor from the urine and feces can penetrate throughout your home.

• Rustling Sounds: Rustling sounds are sure signs your home has been invaded. The sounds that keep you up at night of scurrying and scratching from inside walls and ceilings can be unnerving. Don’t ignore these sounds; find out the cause and call a professional immediately.

• Property Damage: Damage to property is a common sign of an infestation. This means that a pest has taken up permanent residence in your home and has likely inflicted even more damage than you know of. The longer the damage goes on, the more money will be needed for cleaning and repairs. Eliminate that possibility by calling on experienced pest control professionals right away.
