Pests
That Invade
Homes
8
2.
Your home should be a refuge that provides
you with a safe shelter from the outside world.
While you might expect an ant to run across
your picnic in the park, they should never show
up in your kitchen.
3.
The same can be said for any insect or critter
that is better left outside.
Finding any of these eight pests near your
house is a sign that you need to take action.
4.
Watch Out for Spiders
#1
5.
Spiders are nature’s little pest control team.
They’ll eat flies and other small insects that you
don’t want around your house.
6.
The problem occurs when they come inside and begin
to reproduce.
Arizona is also home to black widow and brown
recluse spiders that can make you extremely sick
if they bite you.
7.
Keep Cockroaches Away
#2
8.
There are several different types of cockroaches, and
none of them are good to find in your home.
German cockroaches are known for being especially
hard to treat due to their small size.
9.
They reproduce fast and may hide in areas where
over-the-counter treatments don’t reach.
American cockroaches can be as big as 1 to 3
inches long.
Seeing one skitter across your home’s floor or walls
can be quite an unsettling experience.
10.
Ward Off Ants In Your Kitchen
#3
11.
Ants are most commonly found in the kitchen
but they’ll also show up anywhere there is moisture
and food.
Bathrooms are also a common spot
to discover ants.
12.
You’ll often see a trail of them leading from
their entry point.
Getting rid of ants protects your family from
painful stings.
13.
Prevent Weevils In the Pantry
#4
14.
Pantry pests can ruin your food supply rather quickly.
Weevils and other insects are often brought home
by unsuspecting shoppers.
15.
Like other types of pests, they spread fast.
Weevils are most commonly found in dry goods
such as flour, rice and cereal.
16.
Stop Rodent Invasions
#5
17.
Rodents are among the most destructive types
of pests.
Roof rats and mice will chew through your home’s
walls and attic space to find a place to build their nests.
18.
They also leave droppings behind that can contain
bacteria and viruses that are harmful to humans.
19.
Get Rid of Pesky Fleas
#6
20.
Fleas and ticks are usually brought into your home
by your pet.
Once fleas get inside, they’ll hang out in the carpet
and other hiding spots until they can jump onto a host.
21.
A flea problem usually requires treating both
the inside and outside of your house.
Exterior pest control treatments stop your
pet from bringing them back inside.
22.
Clear Out the Flies
#7
23.
It is pretty common to find a fly in the house.
The common house fly often gets inside through
open doors or windows with faulty screens.
24.
Fruit flies can seem to appear overnight, and they
are often a sign that food is decaying somewhere
nearby.
If removing an obvious food source isn’t curing the
problem, then professional pest services can help.
25.
Beware of the Dreaded Bed Bug
#8
26.
Bed bugs are still a growing problem.
Watch out for black specks on your bedding
or furniture after having a houseguest or traveling.
27.
If you do spot one, try not to stress.
You’ll still be able to keep your belongings once
you eliminate them with the right type of treatment.
28.
A small pest invasion can quickly spiral into
a serious problem.
Many pests carry the risks of transferring diseases
to humans.
Plus, your family could experience a bite or sting
that triggers their allergies.
29.
The list of pests that invade homes may be lengthy,
but the treatment is quite simple.
All of these pests respond fast to professional spray
treatments that target their specific weaknesses.
