All Atlanta residential and commercial structures should be inspected for pest regularly. We all love our homes, unfortunately though, there are many pests that love them too. Just a few of the pests that could be residing inside your home are termites, cockroaches, carpenter ants, and silverfish.
It is very important to be aware of the signs of infestations, and to try to prevent unwanted conditions, and to practice insect control. Keep your rooms well ventilated, since many pests prefer dark, moist areas. Avoid stumps or other debris from laying around the foundation of your home.
Ant Pest Control
Carpenter Ants like to nest in moist or decayed wood, and sometimes in the worst case, inside homes. Decayed wood may be a cause of poor air circulation, leaks, or condensation. Nests have been found in attic beams, under roofing, behind dishwashers, around tubs, sinks, or showers, and even behind bathroom tiles.
Damage can vary, depending on how long the ants have nested in a particular area. They excavate and create tunnels in the wood. The tunnels are smooth in appearance, and do not have sawdust or other debris in them. Eliminating an ants nest is difficult, and should be performed by a professional exterminator.
Atlanta Area Termite Control
Termites resemble ants, but their bodies are softer and wider. They can be found in house foundations, furniture, shelves, books, carpets, and insulation. There are many different ways to exterminate the termites, but they should be left up to a professional exterminator to do the job.
Silverfish are capable of thriving in most climates. Mostly they like to dwell in dark, damp areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, attics, and basements. Infestation of the silverfish may go unnoticed for long periods of time, because they move quickly and in the dark. Silverfish are known for ruining wallpaper, clothing, and paper. Eliminating the silverfish require professional insect control, because they have to eliminate the silverfish, and their eggs.
Roach Control Atlanta
Cockroaches are also found in dark, moist areas of the home. They can be found in cabinets, under refrigerators and stoves, and behind furniture and appliances. They are even capable of flattening themselves to fit into crevices between floorboards and walls. Cockroaches are extremely adaptable, and may even be immune to pest control devices. As with the other pests, professional help to exterminate them is needed.
