Just outside your door, there are many different types of wildlife that exist alongside you and your family, even if you are unaware of it. Mosquitoes, spiders, wasps, and rodents are just a few of the most common types of pests that invade homes and yards in Texas. Often, homeowners find it too challenging to deal with these pests on their own and so, they need professional help. That help though, does not end once the spring and summer months end. In Texas particularly, year round professional pest control is often necessary to keep properties pest-free.
Peace of Mind
It is natural to become concerned about pests during the spring and summer months when critters are often more common. However, you likely want to know that your home is pest-free all year round. With year round pest control, you get regular inspections and treatment whenever they are needed, and you receive those services during every month of the year. More than anything else, this gives you the peace of mind you need, knowing that pests are not making their way in and going unnoticed. Some of the worst damage caused by pests occurs because homeowners simply do not know they are sharing their home with pests and so, they cannot do anything about it.
Keeping Your Family Safe
Pests are annoying, and they can cause major damage to your home. Unfortunately, they also carry many different types of diseases. Mosquitoes are known carriers of many diseases they can transmit to humans, including West Nile virus. Rodents such as rats and mice also carry a number of different diseases, including the hantavirus. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease to people and their pets, and even fleas can make a pet quite ill if they are not detected and dealt with right away.
A professional Austin pest control company will perform regular inspections to ensure these pests are not inhabiting your home, and will provide any necessary treatments if pests are detected. Sometimes, a pest problem can be dealt with using just one solution while in other instances, a combination of treatment options is necessary. Individuals who do not have the necessary experience with pest control treatments do not always know how to use them safely, particularly when more than one type of treatment is needed. A professional pest control company will have the necessary solutions that are safe and effective, and will know how to use them.
A Comprehensive Approach
Did you know that a pest infestation can breed a pest infestation? For example, you may realize that mice have infested your home and so, you purchase traps and bait to try and eliminate it on your own. However, you may not know that you also have a tick problem due to the mice. Mice can carry up to 100 ticks on their bodies at any given time. As mice move into the home, so too do those ticks they are carrying, and both types of pests will pose a safety concern for you and your family, including your pets.
When you invest in year-round pest control, a technician will check your property regularly. During these regular inspections, a technician will identify all of the pests in your home or yard and provide the necessary treatments. A professional Texas pest control company will also know which type of pest infestations often accompany others so they can treat the problem as a whole and give you your space back, completely pest-free!
Staying Proactive
Too many people only contact a pest control company after discovering that a problem has already developed. When pest problems are not detected right away, it can cause major problems for the people inside a home. Termites can cause an extensive amount of damage to the structure of a home in a relatively short amount of time, and people may end up sleeping with bed bugs for some period of time before discovering them. Cockroaches can also cause significant health problems for people within a home, especially if they are not found and dealt with right away.
When you have a year-round pest control solution, a technician will find any problem that has already developed in your home as soon as possible. In some cases, a professional pest control company will also have the solutions necessary to prevent a problem from developing at all. In these cases, you may never see a pest because you have been proactive and have not waited until it was too late.
A Change of Seasons
The climate in Texas is beautiful all year round, but that does not mean the Lone Star State does not enjoy different seasons. The pests that are most common in the state also vary depending on those seasons. For example, you may find that a wasp infestation develops in your yard over the summer months. As the weather becomes a bit cooler, the infestation may no longer be an issue. However, during this time, mice may start to find their way inside your home, and mice control may become your priority.
Understanding the types of pests that are more likely going to cause problems during certain times of the year is one of the most important aspects of effective pest control. A professional San Antonio pest control company will know what types of pests are most common during certain seasons, and will have the solutions necessary to prevent them from infesting, and to allow you to take back your space once and for all.
