cockroach control in apache junction

It is said that for every cockroach you find in your home during the day, there are thousands more hiding behind the walls. While many people assume that they only inhabit extremely dirty homes, they actually will make their way into any home that can provide them with food, shelter, warmth, and water.

These critters are able to make their way inside a home by traveling:

• Through drains and sewers
• On grocery bags, luggage, or furniture
• Through screen doors or open windows
• Through the space between a door and the floor
• Along plumbing pipes

Once inside, they tend to prefer hiding in cracks and crevices, behind walls, near food storage areas, under sinks, and other dark hiding places.

apache junction termite control

Costing billions of dollars’ worth of damage each year, termites are every homeowner’s worst nightmare. Since they are often hidden away within the structure of a home, they can be there for years before a homeowner finally discovers them. The three types of termites are subterranean, drywood, and dampwood. All in search of wood, termites have the potential to cause extensive, irreversible damage to your home.

Things that attract termites include:

• Excess foliage
• Piles of wood
• Dead or decaying trees
• Mulch
• Cellulose material
• Clogged gutters
• Warm, dark places
• Moist soil

If you notice winged ants, mud tubes, wings that have been shed, or structural damage to your home, you might be facing a termite infestation.

Ants are one of the most common pests around. They are social insects, which means that they live and travel with their colonies.

Leaving trails of scent, ants guide hundreds or even thousands of soldiers from their colonies to their chosen source of food.

To prevent an ant invasion in your home, you need to:

• Avoid leaving cat or dog food outside
• Keep all food in airtight containers
