Bugs! Who likes them in their home? Not many people.
Whether it’s ants crawling around the kitchen counters, spiders setting up webs in your corners, cockroaches scurrying across your bathroom floor, or mice moving into your garage, you didn’t invite them in … and you definitely don’t want them to stay.
All you really want to do is get these pests out of your home once and for all.
Bugs are never a welcome addition to your home. Whether you’re seeing ants or spiders or even those bigger, nastier pests like cockroaches or even mice, it can feel like once one gets in, a whole family of bugs just takes over.
It’s a nice day. You’re cleaning up your house and as you're washing your hands at the bathroom sink, you notice something moving on the floor. Could’ve just been a trick of the light or maybe just a speck of dirt.
Fleas and ticks are some of the nastiest pests we have to deal with in our yards.
First of all, ticks are hosts of quite a few scary diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, and tularemia. Other parasitic organisms like tapeworms can even pass from fleas and ticks to humans.
As the warm weather begins to ease up as fall approaches in Central and Southern Maryland, you aren’t the only one cleaning up and looking around at fall tasks that need to be done.
Even before those leaves begin to change, some pests like irritating gnats may start to fade from those hot summer days.
Summer days are long, and naturally you want to be outside enjoying them.
Whether you’re grilling dinner out back on your patio, lounging by your fire pit, or playing fetch with your dog, you are just looking to enjoy a little downtime. Nothing wrong with that.
But the party is over the second “they” show up. Your unwanted guests. The ones that leave you running quickly indoors, unable to enjoy your yard.
Many people say summer is a pretty awesome season -- maybe even their favorite one.
The days are warmer and longer. The sun is usually shining. Birds are chirping. People smile more freely. It’s vacation season. Kids are outside laughing and playing.
Unfortunately, like an over-crowded beach, some things are too good to be enjoyed alone. Summer bugs want to have some fun, too. And this is their time to shine. There’s no cold temperatures or snow and ice to stop them.
Maybe you have seen some ants in a corner of your kitchen or crawling across your counters.
Possibly you’ve seen some other pests or even rodents in your home. Maybe a cockroach near your trashcan or a mouse in your garage.
Summertime is here. And what better way to enjoy the outdoors than having a barbecue for your family, friends, and neighbors? You can hang out at the grill sizzling up some hamburgers and hotdogs while catching up on current events and laughing with your guests.
But there’s one thing that can drain the fun from your backyard bash faster than your guests refusing to RSVP: mosquitoes.
You’re spending a nice spring day enjoying the sun coming through the windows when you notice something moving around on your kitchen counter.
At first you think it’s a trick of the eye. Maybe you just imagined you saw something moving. But then you take a closer look and see an ant crawling across the space you could swear you just cleaned off. And then you see another one. And another one. What gives? Where did the ants even come from?
