Ant Proofing Your Home

 



 

 

Even though they are small, ants can cause big problems.  Often underestimated, ant infestations cause significant damages and financial losses to property owners.  In Texas, infestations by ants is becoming common with a variety of species, which include raspberry crazy ants, fire ants and carpenter ants. 

 

Ants Are Capable Of Causing More Damage Than You Would Assume

While living with ants is certainly not an enjoyable experience, their presence can have many long-term repercussions. These invasive insects build colonies rapidly and nest comfortably indoors. Their infestation can be tracked through various entry points such as cracks, hollow doors, attic vents, pipes and wires.

Carpenter ants are capable of causing major damage to wooden structures, such as foundations, walls and furniture. The dreaded Raspberry crazy ant is attracted to electrical equipment and can even cause short circuits by chewing through insulated wires. Too many dead ants can cause mechanical failures and overheating in electrical devices. Fire ants are known for their characteristic sting that leaves distinct red spots on the skin. These species, if left untreated, can cause major agricultural losses by harming crop and livestock. An ant infestation in your home can also risk food contamination due to the constant foraging of food supplies by worker ants.

Homeowners often attempt to tackle the visible symptoms of the infestation themselves. Superficial do-it-yourself treatments might just not be effective enough to get to the root of the situation.

Top Five Fall Pests in Texas

Cooler weather may be a relief after hot summer days, but the arrival of the fall months means that pests will start to seek shelter inside of buildings. Homeowners should be aware that indoor insect and wildlife activity may increase as the temperature drops. Anyone who suspects that they have an infestation in their home should contact a professional exterminator.
 

The Top Five Fall Pests In Texas

Rodents may enter a building if the weather becomes particularly cold or wet. These pests are known to seek out food sources and cause contamination. Diseases are spread by both mice and rats. Roach activity also peaks as the weather cools down. Homes that are kept pristine can still experience a roach infestation. Roaches spread disease on their legs as they travel throughout a building.

Ant activity may be observed indoors during the fall months. Fire ants can cause painful stings, and carpenter ants cause damage to homes. One of the worst pests in the fall months is the wasp. Wasp activity is high in fall months, and people who try to take care of these pests on their own may end up with several painful stings. Termites are a problem in Texas throughout the year. Damage that is done by termites often costs homeowners thousands of dollars in repair costs. Anyone who notices insect and wildlife activity in their home or business property should contact an exterminator for help.

Fall pests can cause damage to homes, contaminate food and threaten the health of occupants of a home. It is important for homeowners to take the time to contact a professional exterminator when insect or wildlife activity is detected.
