The Many Types Of Pests That Can Plague Your Home

Ogden is a beautiful place filled with many ugly pests. Some of the most common types of pests that invade homes in our area are ants, flies, rodents, beetles, wasps, bees, bed bugs, termites, carpenter ants, and cockroaches. Most invasive species break into local structures to find food, moisture, and places to hide. Rodents and cockroaches are two pests that prefer living inside homes over roughing it out in the wild. One thing that will determine your home’s likelihood of having trouble with invasive species is the condition of its exterior. Older homes with gaps, cracks and damaged windows/doors are much more likely to suffer from pest infestations.

All The Issues Pest Infestations Can Cause In Your Home

It is hard to fully break down all of the problems different types of pests cause inside local homes. The best way to break things down is by separating issues into three main categories; danger, damage, and annoyances. Almost all pests are annoying with the way they crawl or fly through homes in front of residents. A few pests pose a threat to health through bites, stings, allergens, or carried diseases. Finally, many local critters and bugs damage property. Rodents chew holes through walls, silverfish nibble on clothing, and termites eat wood. The only way to avoid these many issues causes by pests is to avoid pests in the first place. This is best done with professional pest control services.

The Hassles And Risks With Do-It-Yourself Pest Control

There are two sides to pest control, prevention, and elimination. Prevention is something you can do at home.

Here are a few methods we recommend.

Keep things clean.
Make sure your home’s exterior is properly sealed.
Invest in pest-proof trash cans.
Deal with moisture problems.
Tidy up your living areas.

Elimination is much more difficult as it often requires the use of pest control products. These products can be harmful to humans and pets when used improperly. To make things worse, many local pests are quick to run from danger and can hide inside wall voids, attics, and other secluded areas until the threat has subsided.
