Pest Control in Archdale, NC

Do I Need Pest Control?

Pests such as rodents, termites, and cockroaches are all too often very good at hiding away in your home without you ever noticing them. This means they can cause a lot of damage before you ever realize they are there. Aside from routine pest control, one of the best things you can do to protect your home is learn the signs of an infestation.

If you notice any of the following signs, you need to call our Archdale pest control experts:

• Odors: If there is a musty smell in your home that you can’t seem to get rid of, you likely have pests. These odors are usually caused by, droppings, urine, and rotting food collected by pests.
• Droppings: Where there are pest droppings, there are pests. If you find droppings in your cabinets, pantry, bathroom, basement, attic, or anywhere else in your home, you likely have an infestation.
• Property damage: Certain pests will eat away at the structure of a home or the items within it. If you spot chewed wires, gnawed furniture, holes in the walls, chewed rugs, or any other property damage, you’ve probably got a pest problem.
• Grease marks: Because they go through trash, squeeze through walls, and hide away in dirty areas such as attics, rodents often have very dirty fur. This results in them leaving greasy smudges as they run along walls, cabinets, and countertops.
• Pests: Of course, if the pests themselves are visible, you should call in a team of experts. Usually, when you spot one, there are plenty more hiding away where you can’t see them.

Signs of a Termite Infestation

Termites are the most dreaded pests around. Causing approximately $5 billion in damage each year, termites are the very last pest you want in your home. They are extremely good at hiding away, which means they are often eating away at a home for years before they are discovered.

Some of the common signs of a termite infestation include:

• Mud tunnels starting at the foundation and going up your home
• Peeling paint on your walls
• Doors or windows that are difficult to shut
• Extremely squeaky floors
• Buckling floors
• Crumbling, damaged wood
• Piles of discarded wings
• Swarms of winged ants (these are actually termites)

How To Avoid Needing Mosquito Control

1. Clear your property of standing water – Since mosquitos need standing water to lay their eggs, the easiest way of preventing a mosquito infestation is to get rid of standing water. Empty rain buckets and tires and make sure to treat standing water so you don’t need our Archdale mosquito control specialists.

2. Clean your gutters – If your gutter is full of leaves, it won’t drain properly. When your gutters don’t drain they’ll leave standing water for mosquitos to lay their eggs which is the worst case scenario.

3. Trim shrubs and trees – As mosquitos can’t thrive in direct sunlight, you should make your yard as sunny as possible. That means get rid of anything that provides more shade and shelter for mosquitos to thrive.

4. Use fans – As mosquitos are very light insects even a little bit of moving air can throw them off. Try setting up blower fans at ankle height to avoid needing our Archdale mosquito control specialists and give us a call should you need mosquito removal.
