Comprehensive Pest Inspection And Identification

Many pests in this area look similar to one another. There are also a few with an odd and unique appearance that can be alarming at first glance. When you team up with a professional pest control company, they will inspect your entire property and will know the best places to look to find the different types of pests that are commonly found in this area, which can include:

Scorpions
Mosquitoes
Fleas
Ticks
Termites
Bed bugs
Cockroaches
Wasps
Hornets
Silverfish

If any of these pests come into your home, they can cause a lot of problems. While the silverfish and cockroaches are not known to bite people or animals, the other pests in this area can bite or sting, which could not only be painful but could also be hazardous to your health.

Protect Your Family's Health And Your Property From Damage

Some of the pests in this area can be both destructive and dangerous. Here is a closer look at some of the creatures that can make their way into your home and the problems that they can cause:

Ants: Fire ants, rover ants, carpenter ants, and sugar ants are in this area. They can range in color from black, red, brown, or a combination of black and red. Fire ants tend to stay outdoors and build large mounds in your yard; all other ants have been known to infest homes and typically live in large groups that can contaminate your food with various harmful diseases and viruses. Carpenter ants are known to cause damage to your home and other wooded areas around your property.
Mosquitoes: These tiny flying insects like yards with plenty of water and shade. The female mosquito is known to bite humans and animals and can transmit a variety of diseases, including dengue fever and West Nile virus.
Termites: Subterranean termites and drywood termites are both native to Austin. They eat a cellulose-based diet, which mainly consists of wood. They can cause significant damage to your home and severe structural damage if the infestation is not taken care of promptly.
Cockroaches: Oriental, American, and German cockroaches are in Austin homes. These little bugs can spread a variety of illnesses to you and your family, which may include cholera, dysentery, and salmonellosis.

Most of the pests in this area are social creatures. If you see even one of these animals in your home, you will likely need an Austin home pest control specialist to help you eliminate them.

Do-It-Yourself Pest Control Is Usually Less Effective

Many DIY pest control products on the market today promise great results. While the treatments themselves may be effective, if you don't have experience eliminating a pest infestation, they will not be effective.

DIY pest control treatments operate under the assumption that all pest problems are equal. The truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for any pest infestation. To eliminate the pests from your home, you will need an experienced pest control specialist to assess the situation. The professional pest control advisor will be able to determine the proper treatment and the most effective areas to apply the treatments. If you try to do it yourself, you could end up missing critical areas when applying the treatment.
