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 SILVERFISH!

The silverfish isn’t a fish, but it does have scales. Grey to light blue with a hint of brown, this bug travels across Texas with lengthy antennae and tails. These bugs love starch. Their species name is saccharina—or sweet. Like many bugs, they prefer humid environments, preferring temperatures in the same ranges we do. Silverfish continuously molt and can do so over 60 times in their 2-3 year lifespan. On top of raiding your pantry, these bugs will eat and stain all sorts of fabric. It’s recommended to store any paper good likes book or magazines in plastic, because if this bug finds it, they’ll do serious damage. Good prevention strategy like minimizing moisture points around the home and reducing clutter can go a long way, but if you find yourself inundated by these scale backed bugs, we can help you get them out and prevent them from coming back. Contact us today about our Don’t Bug Me Plan and a free inspection.
