What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
Some of the most adept hitchhikers around bed bugs are the last pests you want in your home. If you’ve found a bug inside your house, and you’re not quite sure if it is a bed bug, we can help. Bed bugs are tiny, oval-shaped, reddish-brown insects that are usually around the size of an apple seed. Depending on whether or not they have fed recently, their bodies can either be flat or round like a balloon. While they are without wings, they can travel very fast.
If you are still unsure what kind of bug you are dealing with, reach out to our exceptional Myrtle Beach bed bug removal team today.
What Attracts Termites to a Yard?
Termites are one of the most destructive pests around, causing billions and billions of dollars’ worth of damage each year. While they never want to have to deal with an infestation, homeowners unwittingly attract termites to their yards and homes all the time. Once they make their way into your yard, it is rather easy for them to find their way inside your home.
Some of the things that attract termites to a home include:
- Piles of wood
- Extra foliage
- Unmaintained drainage systems (such as clogged gutters)
- Excess wood in the form of tree stumps and dead trees
- Mulch
- Trees
The Myrtle Beach termite control experts at ValuePest can help you get your home back to normal and living comfortably without.
Signs You Need Rodent Control
1. Droppings - Not only do rodents eat a tremendous amount, but their leavings are often left close to our on their way to their food source. Rat urine is also very common as they have fairly weak bladders.
2. Footprints - Sometimes you'll even get tail prints if it's a rat with a large tail. But the different sizes of the footprints can help you understand which you're dealing with. If the foot is an inch in length then it's a rat but a mouse has a foot that's closer to a quarter inch.
3. Strange sounds at night - Rodents are usually more active in their search for food and nesting possibilities throughout the night. If you hear scratching and clawing at night in the attic, play it safe and call in our Myrtle Beach rodent control exterminators.
4. Day sightings - Since rodents are asleep throughout the day for the most part, if you see them during the day then it's an indication that they're nesting nearby.
5. Newly chewed holes in screens or dry wall - Especially in the dark cold of winter, rats and mice become increasingly desperate as the winter drags on. If you see any new holes, call in our rodent control experts to rid you of these unwanted critters.
