TERMITES
Termites. It’s incredible to witness the damage such a small creature can inflict. With an amenable climate for these pests, Texas is highly prone to termites and the infestations that can come with them. They can eat your home from the inside out, causing problems that can start as cosmetic and wind up as structural. Three species inhabit Texas, winged termites, subterranean termites, and dry termites being the most prolific. The best way to know if your home is safe is to get a professional inspection. We recommend having your home inspected by a professional once a year. We also offer pre-construction treatments that help ward off termites from day one. 855Bugs has been helping people in the Waco and Temple area manage termites for over 10 years!

BED BUGS
Bed bugs are often the most dreaded bug infestation in the eyes of the general public. If you’re terrified of bed bugs entering your home, you’re not alone! Let’s take a look at bed bugs: their appearance, their behaviors, myths, prevention, and, the topic everyone wants to know about, bed bug treatment.
RODENTS
Mice, rats, and other rodents are extremely resourceful and persistent creatures. Did you know a mouse can squeeze through an opening as small as ½ inch? And, don’t think you’re safe because that hole is only ¼ inch. They can easily chew through many surfaces to make that hole large enough to sneak through. Rats are excellent swimmers. While it certainly doesn’t happen often, rats can swim through sewer lines and wind up in your toilet bowl.

DON’T BUG ME CARPET BEETLES!
The carpet beetle. Aptly named, as it enjoys a carpet (and the hair of the animals that walk on it). This beetle also enjoys leather, silk, fur, feathers—anything with a high protein content. They are tiny and don many colors from white, green, black, and mixes. The beetles themselves are not as intrusive as the larvae they lay. Surprisingly, the larvae is larger than the adult beetle, coming in at nearly twice the size. These larvae are ringed, typically a light brown, and can be covered in bristle like hairs. Once they find their way into your home, these critters damage all sorts of upholstery, from organic to synthetic materials.
The best way to prevent carpet beetles is to prevent them from entering your home. Make sure your doors and windows are well sealed, and walk the exterior walls of your home at least once a season to ensure no gaps or holes have developed. Regular cleaning of your home will help to prevent the bugs from taking root. If you find carpet beetle larvae in your house, you can begin by sanitizing your home and limiting the materials these pests feed off of. If these pests prove too much, you can always contact 855Bugs for a free inspection. We’d be happy to help you get rid of these pests quickly and safely.
