Pest Control Lessens Risk of Health Hazards and Property Damage

Residential and business sectors are also filled with easy access to essential resources. The hot and humid summers and mild winters of Davidson also contribute to the prevalence of pest species.
Finding pests in your home or place of business is always stressful. Their presence sparks emotional distress and comes with risks to your health and property. Pest problems may even damage your business reputation or decrease your home’s value. Common Davidson pests include:
Mice and Rats
Rodents are a common indoor pest. They can make their way inside through small holes and gaps. Once inside, the population grows rapidly. Mice and rats can cause illnesses through direct and indirect contact. They also chew through wiring, insulation, and structural wood. Anticimex SMART control is an excellent solution that provides 24/7 protection.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are large insects that thrive in the warm and humid environment of Davidson. They generally crawl, but can also glide and fly short distances. They prefer dark spaces and like to hide under appliances or sinks. Not only do they cause anxiety, but they may also trigger respiratory problems.
Ants
Ants can invade your home in large numbers, spreading to the kitchen, looking for sources of food, and contaminating food packaging and every surface they cross.
Fire Ants
Fire ants usually stay outdoors, but still cause problems. They have a painful sting that has the potential to cause a severe allergic reaction. They also build large mounds that damage your yard.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are a huge nuisance during the warmest months of the year. They thrive in heat and humidity and require a source of standing water for their breeding grounds. Killingsworth offers seasonal mosquito treatments to keep these insects away from March through October.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are tiny insects that cause itchy red bites. They spread quickly and hide in out-of-the-way places like mattress seams, behind baseboards, and cracks in the floor and walls. Pest control experts understand these behaviors and are trained to find bed bugs no matter where they hide.
Termites
Termites are known as “silent destroyers” for good reason. An infestation can happen quietly, causing widespread damage before you even know they are there. This is the reason why termite inspections and continuous protection with Always Active bait stations are ideal for termite control.
Ticks
Ticks are small, parasitic arachnids that lie in wait in brush and tall grasses for a host. This behavior is called questing. They stay active all year round, as long as temperatures stay above freezing. Ticks that carry Lyme disease and other pathogens can transmit the illnesses to humans and pets through their bite.
Wasps
Wasps have a painful sting and the potential to cause a serious allergic reaction. They build nests in hidden spots and venture out to locate food. They are aggressive when threatened, which makes them dangerous.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need a termite inspection?
Most properties need an inspection once each year. More often is recommended if you live in a high-risk area or have had a history of termites. For greater peace of mind, invest in termite control from Killingsworth. We place bait stations that kill off the colony. Our continued monitoring to refill the bait keeps termites away.
When should I call an exterminator?
Contact an expert as soon as you suspect you have pests. You may notice increased sightings, droppings, or nests. Damaged food packaging and gnaw marks on furniture and fabrics are other signs. Strange sounds coming from the walls, musty odors, and unexplained bites also mean you could have pests.
Do I need recurring pest control?
Continuous monitoring and periodic visits to apply pest control products are the most effective strategies to keep your property free of pests. Insects can return after one-time treatments, but an ongoing pest plan with year-round coverage has the highest success rate for eliminating infestations and preventing future issues.
How long before the treatment works?
Most are effective within 14 days. Pest activity may increase briefly after treatment, but this is a sign it’s working.
