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 SCORPIONS!
Did you know that Scorpions are related to ticks, mites, and spiders? Scorpions are arachnids, and we have 18 different species that call Texas home. By far, the most common scorpion you’ll find in Texas is the striped bark scorpion, as they are found across the state. These tan and yellowish crawlers like to hide in similar environments to many other pests, such as piles of debris like wood and rocks. They prefer moist environments, and when it dries up outside, you may start to find them invading your home in search of water. The best way to keep scorpions out of your home and away from your property is to keep debris to a minimum, keep trees and shrubbery around your house trimmed back and away from your home, and keep grass near your home well mowed. As with other pests, ensuring that your house is well-sealed will go a long way. Replace weather stripping as it ages, fill gaps and holes on exterior walls, and keep windows well sealed and properly screened. 855bugs can help with treatment options to ensure your home is as unappealing as possible to these unwelcome guests.
