Pest infestation is a nightmare for many homeowners as these insects can make your life miserable. Imagine beetles and termites nibbling on your home when you are asleep. This can be especially exhausting and nerve-wracking when you cannot identify the type of bugs causing structural damage.
However, once you identify the bugs, you can easily take safety measures and prevent infestation. For instance, dry, sturdy, and painted wood is less attractive to most home creatures. In this article, we will share some information that will help you recognize the insects destroying your home:
1. Termites
Termites are the major reason for serious damage throughout your home. These insects work around the clock and cause massive damage in a short time. Therefore, you need to immediately contact a professional team for pest control upon finding the signs of termite damage. You have to look for tapping noise, fanning on the walls, sagging wood or floor, tiny pallets, and tree nests.
2. Ants
Different types of ants can cause different problems. Carpenter ants, as the name suggests cause damage to the wood. Unlike other ants, they do not cause food contamination. They are similar to termites and rapidly consume wood. The perfect place to look for these ants is beneath door jams, trim, or windowsills. You can also hear the noise of these ants through the walls.
3. Wasps & Yellow Jackets
Wasp infestation is common during fall and summer. They will collect food for their queen, so she can survive during the winter, this includes wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets. Bees such as yellow jackets and wasps are aggressive.
So, if you notice any infestation, contact the pest control team and let the professional handle the situation. Yellowjackets will chew through the wood surface and drywall. However, almost every type of bee can be dangerous for your home.
