6 Signs You Need Help with Your Pest Control Problems

Residential Pest Control ServicesFor some home or business owners, a quick do-it-yourself (DIY) pest control treatment can handle minor issues. But for many, these techniques simply aren’t enough to solve the problem at the cause and get rid of it for good. Take a look at some top warning signs that it’s time to call a professional for top-notch residential pest control services.

1. Pest Droppings

Pest droppings can vary widely depending on the type of pest you’re dealing with. However, when you see them, they often indicate an infestation. Pest droppings can pose severe health risks to you and your family, especially when these droppings come from pests like mice and rats.

2. Dead Bugs Inside

While this may seem like an obvious sign, many may underestimate that dead bugs inside the home can indicate an infestation issue as opposed to just a few bugs crawling in from outside. If you find dead bugs, call a pest control professional immediately.

3. Mattress Markings

When it’s laundry time, take a quick peek at the mattress to check for markings. If you see small brownish-red spots or smears of dried blood, you could be up against a bed bug infestation. DIY bed bug treatment is generally not recommended, as these pesky bloodsuckers can be tough to get rid of.

4. Odd Smells

If you begin to notice odd or unnatural smells, you may have some unwelcomed guests. For example, many may describe mice as having a musty, urine-like smells. Rats may create an ammonia smell, and bed bugs may create a musty, slightly sweet smell.

5. Odd Sounds

Do you hear noises that sound like the pitter-pattering of tiny feet, or scratching sounds from behind the walls? Especially when they occur in the evening, these sounds can be an indicator for a serious rodent infestation. If you hear odd noises, it’s time to call for professional residential pest control services.

6. Wood Damage

If your home has exposed wood, you can give a quick preliminary check for signs of termites. However, it’s recommended to call a professional to make sure that the inspection is thorough. Wood damage is one of the top signs of a termite infestation. This can include issues like holes in exposed wood, sagging floors or roofs, and wood that makes a hollow sound when tapped.

If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs in your home, don’t hesitate to call for residential pest control services like those offered at Bain Pest Control.

At a high level, we can offer two core types of service: pest-specific plans and our Home Protection Plan (HPP). Our pest-specific plans will, as the name implies, focus on removing and excluding a specific pest. These are generally “one-off” (we’ll generally provide coverage over a set time period). Our Home Protection Plan will provide coverage against a number of the most common pests, and we’ll monitor and provide service over the course of the entire year.
