All The Problems Winter Rodents Bring To Parma Homes

Winter is one of the worst times of year for rodent problems in Parma homes, and these pests are relentless. Rodents are in search of a warm place to take up shelter and nest, as well as a steady food and water source. These are things that homeowners give to rodents completely unbeknownst to them, which can make preventing an issue all the more difficult. Rodents are notorious for leaving behind piles of their feces, which can actually be quite dangerous. Along with their saliva and urine, these byproducts can cause allergic reactions, asthma attacks, as well as more serious illnesses like hantavirus, salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and tularemia. While some rodents are less social, some rodents don’t fear humans as much and can invade their personal space, leading to fever.

Winter rodents may also be spreading parasites like mites, ticks, and fleas, as rodents are one of the most common methods of transportation for these pests. Parasites come with their own host of issues that can be detrimental to an individual’s health or the well-being of their pets. The last major issue that rodents cause is property damage, which occurs as a result of their incessant need to chew. Rodents do this to avoid their front teeth from overgrowing, but it can lead to chewed molding, walls, and electrical wires, as well as shredded personal items. To keep these issues from happening, contact Avenger Pest Control for rodent control today.

The Best Way To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs In Your Parma Home

Bed bugs are parasites that get into your Parma home in creative ways and proceed to feed off of humans at night. They do this because sleep tends to be the time when the human body temperature is at its warmest. This does, however, pose a big issue to homeowners, as it makes bed bugs hard to identify and deal with. The additional fact that they hide in the depths of upholstered items and mattresses can make bed bugs very tricky to access altogether. DIY methods of bed bug control are typically expensive, difficult to manage, and unfruitful.

The best way to get rid of your bed bug infestation is with professional assistance from the pros at Avenger Pest Control. With more than 30 years of experience, our state-licensed pest experts have access to all of the highest quality professional-grade products and the knowledge to implement them successfully. Our process allows us to swiftly target and eliminate bed bug problems while creating long-term results that let you sleep soundly at night.

Five Simple Yet Effective Ant Control Tips For Parma Homes

Ants can seem so commonplace that it's inevitable to find them in your home or yard. But different species present different risks from food contamination and the spread of disease to property damage and painful stings. Don't let ants get the best of you and your home just because they are a common pest. Instead, you can use these five simple tips to keep ants away from your home and property.

1. Store food in airtight containers and clean up thoroughly after both indoor and outdoor meals.
2. Keep trash cans covered with tightfitting lids. 
3. Eliminate excess moisture by fixing leaks, maintaining drainage, and addressing condensation issues.
4. Seal cracks and crevices in foundations and exterior walls and use weatherstripping and door sweeps to eliminate gaps around windows and doors. 
5. Remove leaf piles and other organic debris from the yard to minimize harborage areas for ants. 

If all else fails, it never hurts to call the experts at Avenger Pest Control. We can help you with ant control for existing populations as well as develop a plan to prevent future problems. 

How Cockroaches In Your Parma Home Can Be Worse Than You Think

There's no doubt that cockroaches are disgusting pests, but the problems with these insects don't end there. In addition to being an eyesore, cockroaches are huge vectors of disease. They spread over 33 different types of bacteria, six kinds of parasitic worms, and seven other human pathogens. Even the saliva, droppings, and shed skins they leave behind can cause issues for those who are highly allergic to the proteins contained in the materials cockroaches leave in their wake. 

Aside from their concerning health aspects, cockroaches are simply tenacious pests that overtake area homes and become nearly impossible to remove and control. Uniquely equipped to withstand harsh conditions, with minimal food and water, cockroaches need little to survive and even thrive in area homes. They are even resistant to many common pesticides making DIY efforts to control them nearly impossible. For complete cockroach control you can count on, call on the experts at Avenger Pest Control. 

How To Limit Your Mosquito Exposure Risk In Parma

Mosquitoes are other pests that are at once obnoxious while also being a significant threat to our health. These blood-feeding insects spread a wide variety of diseases, including the West Nile virus, dengue, chikungunya, encephalitis, and tularemia. One of the best ways to limit your exposure to mosquitoes is to minimize mosquito populations around your home by eliminating or treating standing water, maintaining landscaping, and investing in professional pest control.

In terms of dealing with existing mosquito populations, you can protect yourself to some extent by wearing long sleeves and pants as well as an insect repellent, avoiding being outside during dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, and installing well-fitting screens on doors and windows. Other steps that can be helpful include running fans in outdoor entertainment areas and limiting the number of flowering plants on your property. For more tips on escaping dangerous mosquito bites, work with a local pest control professional to identify areas on your property that are attracting local mosquitoes and find ways to remove them. Avenger Pest Control provides quality mosquito control and prevention services to Parma and the surrounding areas.
