While termites can infest almost any home or structure, homes with wooden foundations are most at risk of giving termites an easy access point to the home. Risk factors for termites include the presence of landscaping and fences near the walls of the home (which can give termites access inside), the age of the home (younger than thirty years are least at-risk for infestation while over seventy years are most at-risk), and the presence of past property damage (the more incidents, the higher the potential for termites).

Part of the problem rodents bring comes from what’s leftover after they’ve died. Rats and mice have a habit of crawling deep into the walls of homes to make their nests only to die, leaving their bodies, droppings, and other potentially-hazardous biological elements behind. This is why pest management professionals deal with rodents in a process called “exclusion,” ensuring that all the animals are removed as well as anything they brought inside the home with it.

If you’re already suffering a pest infestation, it may be too late to deal with the problem on your own using DIY methods.

A licensed and certified pest control professional can also approach the problem with a wealth of knowledge about what pests you’re facing, where they’re commonly found, and signs of activity you might not be aware of - helping you get a better, more effective treatment and taking steps to stop the problem from reappearing. Professional pest control is an excellent investment to ensure the long-term comfort of your home.
