Some Rodents Can Cause Structural Damage

Rats
Rat infestations are very common in Bellingham. Plus, they should not be ignored. Rats cause damage to a variety of places in your home. These critters chew through whatever is in their way in order to get to both a warm and dry place. By chewing through insulation and ducting, rats cause your heating bills to rise drastically. They chew through electrical wiring, which can cause electrical fires. Additionally, they chew through furniture, cars, and plumbing fixtures. Which can cause flooding. Another way they can cause damage is from both their droppings and urine stains on both wood and insulation. A rat’s teeth never stop growing. So they are constantly chewing through everything. If rodent control isn’t dealt with, then the possible damage is endless. The cost of the damage that rats cause is very high, so it’s important to get an exterminator to take care of the problem right away.
Mice
Mice are similar to rats in that they chew through everything to find a warm place to stay. The difference is they are much smaller and can squeeze through tighter spaces. This makes them hard to notice, so it’s important to know the signs of mice in your home.

Some Insects Can Cause Structural Damage

Ants
Carpenter ants, moisture ants, and pavement ants are capable of causing structural damage to your home. Carpenter ants cause structural damage by hollowing out wood to make their nests. Moisture ants actually eat wood and prefer wood with a higher moisture content. Pavement ants make their nests under the pavement. Over time they excavate so deeply that the soil is not holding up the pavement anymore, causing it to settle and need repair.
Spiders
Spider infestations grow quickly. If you don’t have your home sprayed for spiders every fall and spring, the infestation will just keep growing, thereby increasing your chances of getting bitten. Many spiders are venomous which can be dangerous in large numbers. The Hobo Spider, in particular, is an aggressive spider, and its bite has similar effects as the brown recluse. Spider removal from your home can prevent these bites from ever happening. A spider infestation should not be ignored.
Wasps
Wasp nests or hives can cause structural damage when they are built inside of your home. When lying on drywall, the nests or hives can cause the drywall to disintegrate. As the drywall disintegrates, more and more wasps will come into the structure leading to a dangerous situation.

Rodents Carry Dangerous Diseases

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
This virus can be picked up from the droppings and urine of deer mice. It causes severe illness in humans and nearly one-third of the cases reported in Washington state resulted in fatality.
Plague
The Plague is a serious bacterial infection that humans can contract from flea bites. Fleas contract this bacteria from infected wild animals, such as rodents. Dogs and cats can also contract the disease and spread it to humans. In 2015, there were fifteen reported cases of the Plague.
Salmonellosis
Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection of the intestines caused by the bacteria Salmonella. The bacteria is spread through the droppings of infected animals and humans. It can cause serious disease in children, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems.
Monkeypox
Monkeypox is a virus that spreads through contact with rodents or their blood and can cause respiratory problems in humans. There is no specific treatment for monkeypox, only a vaccine that lowers your risk of contracting it.

Signs To Look For

Below are a few of the signs indicating that your home may have been invaded by rodents:

Scratching noises at night inside the walls or ceiling
Droppings or urine stains in attic or crawlspace insulation
Dark colored oily smudges on top of small openings that rodents could get through
Nests in insulation near and around ducting
Pets, dogs or cats, scratching or staring at floor vents because they can hear rodent activity

You need pest control because without it, your home and family are at risk. Pests can carry bacteria and expose your family to harmful diseases. Uncontrolled pests also can cause costly damage to your property. Pests do not simply go away on their own. You must take the proper steps to get rid of them. You should be in control, not those unwanted pests. Pest control is all about regaining that power and peace of mind.

In general, pest control treats common pests for environmental pest control under the broad categories of rodents, insects, and spiders. Rodents can include rats (roof rats and Norway rats) as well as mice (house mice and field mice). Insects commonly treated by pest control methods include ant control, hornets, wasps, yellow jackets, termites, bumble bees, silverfish, earwigs, fleas, powder post beetles, pantry moths, drain flies, grain beetles, bed bugs, carpet beetles, and roaches. Some common spiders treated by pest control include aggressive house spiders, orb web spiders, hobo spiders, and brown recluse spiders. Of course, this is not an all-inclusive list. You should speak directly with a pest control professional to find out what they’re able to treat.

Some methods of pest control attract bugs into traps using bait. And sometimes you’ll start noticing more bugs as pest control treatments start working. These are not new bugs coming into your home. They’re bugs that have been in your home all along, but now they’re dying or trying to find new places to live. Talk to your pest control professional if you’re noticing more live bugs once you’ve started treatment, because something may have been missed or just not be quite right.

No, all pest control companies are not the same. Not everyone holds themselves to the high professional service standards that we do here at Classic Pest Control. What makes us different from other service providers is our attention to detail, our knowledgeable staff, our top-notch service, our honesty, integrity, and professionalism. We’re proud to have been the recipient of the Angi Super Service Award for 11 consecutive years. Not all pest control companies can say the same. We are veteran owned and operated, and this is a family business. Our family cares about your family.

Sometimes you see more bugs after pest control treatments, especially if it’s the first time you’ve been serviced. And you may question if the treatment is actually working because of this. Don’t worry. The extra activity actually is a sign that the treatment IS working. Not all pest control methods kill bugs on contact. But once the bugs have been disrupted by the treatment, they will become more active while they try to find a safer place. Once they either move out or die, you’ll stop seeing them. If you continue to see more live bugs once you’ve started treatment, be sure to notify the pest control company because something may have been missed or just not be quite right. Technicians are human, after all, and if there’s a problem, we want to fix it for you. At least, that’s our policy here at Classic Pest Control! We take care of problems, and we do it quickly.

The number of hours you need to stay out of your home after spraying for bugs depends on the pesticides and chemicals used. Sometimes this is two to four hours. Sometimes it’s until the next day or more. If you or your family members have any underlying conditions that make you more sensitive to the pesticides and chemicals used, these time frames may be extended. This is absolutely a question you must ask your pest control provider. We recommend having this discussion when you schedule the service so that you’re fully prepared when the technician arrives. You should feel comfortable asking this question of any staff member who answers the phone or any technician who arrives at your home. At Classic Pest Control, we have a knowledgeable staff that you can trust with all of your questions.

The determination of how often you should do pest control in your home also depends on the treatment methods you’re using and the severity of your pest infestation. You may need treatments more often as you’re initially treating the problem. You may need pest control visits less often if your treatment methods are longer lasting. The goal is that your home is always protected. Your pest control provider can help you create a treatment schedule to keep your home and family safe from pests based on all of the particulars of your situation. Here at Classic Pest Control, our philosophy is that we’re a service-based business, not a sales-based business. That means we work with you to provide what you need, not what we want you to buy. We believe you deserve that respect. So how often you should do pest control in your home, is not a one-size-fits-all answer. It’s unique and specific to you.

Pest control can help get rid of cockroaches. In fact, complete removal of these persistent pests takes time and special knowledge that most homeowners simply don’t have. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies cockroach control as perhaps a homeowner’s most difficult task. The CDC also identifies cockroaches as an allergen source and an asthma trigger for residents. There are four parts to an integrated pest management strategy to get rid of these pests: prevention, sanitation, trapping, and chemical control. Getting help from pest control professionals like Classic Pest Control to get rid of cockroaches is the surest way to protect you and your family.
