How to Tell if You Have Bed Bug Bites
If you’re covered in bug bites, you need to know what insect they came from. If you have found bites on your neck, arms, legs, face, hands, or shoulders, it is possible that you have a bed bug infestation.
In addition to the locations of these bites, other signs of bed bug bites include:
- Raised itchy bumps with a clear center
- Bites that are in a line
- Small red bumps surrounded by hives or blisters
- Bites that follow a zig zag pattern
- Burning, painful bites
- A red bite with a dark center
Another way to determine if you have bed bug bites is to carefully examine your bed. If you find bed bugs, shed skins, egg shells, blood stains, or tiny brown spots on your mattress or bedding, it is time to call our Monroe bed bug control team.
Monroe Termite Control Technicians At Your Service
Termites will settle their colonies wherever they can find a food source. They thrive in dark, cool soil and feed off of decaying or dead wood. In order to prevent them from making themselves at home in your yard or house, it is a good idea to know what attracts them in the first place. They are drawn to piles of wood, dead trees and stumps, mulch, clogged gutters, excess foliage, trees, and more.
How To Prevent The Need For Termite Control
1. Keep wood off your soil - If your home's wooden floorboards are up against the soil, then termites have easy access into your home. If you can it's best to elevate your home off the soil or at the very least use concrete as a buffer between your home and the wilderness.
2. Dehumidify your home's foundation and any crawl spaces - Part of the reason termites thrive in the Carolinas is because moist conditions allow them to breed and feast easier. With a properly working gutter and draining network you should be able to rid your property of rainfall, but still moisture can slip between the smallest cracks so it's a good idea to install a dehumidifier in questionable places to avoid needing our Monroe termite control experts.
3. Avoid using too much mulch - While mulch isn't the best food source for termites, it does insulate them from extreme temperatures and provide them the moisture they depend on. Consider gravel or rock alternatives and if you do have to use mulch, make sure it's not coming in direct contact with your home.
4. Fix slab leaks promptly and keep moisture away from your foundation - Slab leaks can cause all sorts of problems. They can not only throw off your home's foundation but they can also provide the type of environment that termites like for.
Call our Monroe termite control experts to get rid of them for good.
