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! Schedule a FREE Inspection, we’d be happy to help ensure termites never threaten your home or livelihood.

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 MOSQUITOS!

What would warm summer nights be without food from the grill, stellar sunsets, and bloodsucking mosquitos? Well, they’d probably be better without the mosquitos. Although we’ve come to terms in many parts of Texas with an eternal coexistence with these bugs, there is much we can do to prevent having to share space with these biting pests. Out of over 3,500 species, only 200 or so feed on humans. Unfortunately, those that do cause more than minor irritation and annoyance.

If you were asked what the most deadly animal in the world is, what would you guess? Sharks? Lions? Even humans? Well, you’d be wrong on all accounts. The most dangerous, most lethal, most fatal creature in the world is the lowly mosquito. Fortunately, in the United States, we don’t have to worry as much about many of the diseases spread by mosquitos across the globe, but with the influx of West Nile and the Zika virus, we must be more prepared than ever against these flying disease delivery trucks. 

Mosquitos can lay thousands of eggs in just a few weeks. The key to their survival is standing, stagnant water. Any standing water on your property is an invitation to these bugs, and they’ll take advantage of it. You may work to free your property of collecting water, but you can’t control what your neighbors do, or how water collects around your neighborhood. The fact of the matter in Texas is that for much of the year there is a threat of mosquitos, and we’re here to help you do as much as you can to prevent them from wreaking havoc on your outside time. Here at 855Bugs, we have special treatment options available to ensure that you won’t have to deal with one more mosquito than you absolutely have to this summer. 855Bugs has been helping people in the Waco and Temple area manage mosquitos for over 10 years!
