Pests can be an embarrassing nuisance. Imagine inviting a friend for lunch just for a cockroach to scurry up your wall. Or how about the safety hazards that pests bring? They can track harmful bacteria throughout your home, cause an odor, and pose health hazards. Here are some key signs that you may need to hire a pest control company.

Calls From Neighbors

According to the New York Post, most homeowners will see a pest five times weekly. A potential source of such frequent sightings can be your neighbor. Pests can quickly flee from one house to another, especially in urban areas where houses are close together. This is especially common in apartment buildings. It’s best to contact a professional as a preventative measure.

Persistent Infestation

Speaking of frequent sightings, you should not ignore the implications of the pest or vermin you tend to see on your property. For example, if you see one cockroach during the day, there’s a chance many more are hiding in your walls. If you have a persistent infestation you can’t seem to eliminate, it’s time to seek the help of experts.

Bed Bug Infestations

Bed bugs are one of the most challenging pests to eliminate. These bugs build nests deep in the cracks, crevices, and walls of your home to stay out of sight. They’ll nestle between the planks of wooden floors or deep within your box springs where you can’t see them or get to them. Pest control companies are specially trained to detect and eliminate this nuisance.

Structural Damage

Termites can quickly destroy the structural integrity and visual quality of your home. According to Entomology Today, a large termite colony can consume more than a pound of wood each day, which spells disaster for your home. If you notice damage to windowsills or other wooden parts of your house, contact professionals for a thorough evaluation to determine if you have a pest problem.
