Germanton, NC Pest Control

Rodent infestations are a common occurrence in homes and businesses across the United States. Although rodents can and will invade during any point in the year, rodent infestations are most common when the weather begins to grow colder and food sources become scarce.

Your Germanton property provides the warmth, food, and shelter that rodents need to survive. Once rodents manage to invade your home or business, they can spread a variety of dangerous diseases and cause damage to your property by chewing on your furniture, wires, piping, and personal belongings. The best way to avoid the problems rodents cause is by keeping them away from your Germanton property in the first place.

Avoid discovering a rodent infestation in and around your home or business by implementing a few of the rodent prevention tips below:

• Keep pet food stored away and out of reach when not in use.
• Sweep your floors and wipe your counters to remove food residue and crumbs.
• Seal entry points around your doors, windows, and foundation with caulk or steel wool.
• Remove clutter from your lawn to remove potential hiding areas for rodents.
• Trim tree branches and other vegetation away from your exterior walls.
• Keep your garbage cans equipped with tight-fitting lids.

Removing a rodent infestation from your property can be nearly impossible due to their fast reproduction rate and tendency to stay out of sight. The most effective way to deal with rodents is by reaching out to the local pest professionals here at Ray's Pest Control & Wildlife Removal.

We offer several rodent control options to eliminate and prevent rodent infestations, including exclusion work and bait boxes. Contact Ray's Pest Control & Wildlife Removal today to learn more about our rodent control solutions.

Bed bugs are small parasitic pests that feed on human blood. They have small, flat, oval bodies and are reddish-brown in color. When bed bugs get into your Germanton property, they will hide just about anywhere they can fit their small bodies, including in mattresses, behind wallpaper, and underneath the flooring.

Because bed bugs are so difficult to treat once they infest a home, prevention is essential. Here are some important tips you can use to limit your risk for bed bug infestations in your Germantown home:

• Use protective covers on your mattresses and box springs to keep bed bugs from getting into them
• Do not bring used bedding or furniture into your home, especially if it has been outside for an extended period of time
• Clean your home regularly and reduce any clutter around the house that could serve as a hiding spot for bed bugs
• Vacuum floors and carpets regularly
• Check your mattresses and bedding regularly for any dark spots or streaks, as these are common indicators that bed bugs have gotten inside
• After travelling, inspect your luggage thoroughly for any signs of bed bugs prior to bringing it into your home
• Avoid leaving clothing, backpacks, or other items on the floor where bed bugs could easily get to them
• Install sweeps on your home’s exterior-facing doors and windows to prevent bed bugs from having an easy entrance inside
• Replace your mattress and box springs every 2-3 years
