Pets are commonly included as family members and as pet owners, we should all consider our pets’ health and safety a priority.  One way in particular to do this is by questioning your current pest control company to ensure their method is pet-friendly. Pets are similar to children in the way their curiosity can lead them to trouble at times, so it is important to have preventative measures in place to keep your pets protected.    

As spring gets closer and the weather gets warmer throughout the Triangle, more bugs will be popping up. Especially ants. Those tiny creatures seem to pop up out of nowhere and once there’s a big infestation, they can be difficult to get rid of.  

North Carolina’s mosquito season usually begins when warmer weather approaches around April.  Mosquitos will linger around until October or until we experience colder weather.  Mosquitos breed rapidly in our area, leading to a higher population of these annoying pests.  Enjoying your outdoor space in the Raleigh area can be difficult if you are invaded by mosquitos.

Termite infestation ...the words alone can send chills down the back of any homeowner who has had to deal with them before. The thought of these bugs eating away at your home is downright infuriating and gross. But what’s even more infuriating is the cost of having to deal with termite removal and damage.  

Rodents are very common household pests.  It is not unusual for mice to attempt to invade a space in order to access food and shelter.  Mice can sneak into your home any time of year; however, they are more common in the winter months.  The problem with rodents entering a home is that they bring with them many unhealthy things that can be dangerous to humans.  If you know what to look for, you can catch an infestation early and remedy the situation before it is out of control.
