Bed bugs are nocturnal parasites. They hide out during the day - usually in an area that provides frequent exposure to human contacts such as bedsheets, linens, or upholstery - and then they emerge at night to feed on the blood of humans. This makes them hard to detect because they are doing their damage when we’re not awake.

Bed bugs can go for several months without food. Because they feed on human blood, their goal is to find an ideal spot that provides them with the ability to nest, lay eggs, and feed as frequently as they want. But, since they can survive without feeding for long periods, they are very resilient. They could be hiding out without your knowing it for months before any feeding even begins.

Bed bugs tend to leave groups of bites as opposed to one single bite. They leave a line of itchy red bumps, and they leave blood spots on the sheets after feeding. These are both pretty good indications of having bed bug activity in your home. Once you discover an infestation, you need to quarantine that area and everything in it immediately before they can spread any further.

Termites are some of the most damaging pests because of their ability to cause large-scale wood damage leading to serious structural damage and thousands of dollars in repairs. So, what can you do to avoid termite damage? Review the following list of prevention methods. Most of them have to do with reducing moisture in your home, as termites are moisture pests and gravitate toward moisture-rich conditions.

• Repair any leaky faucets and pipes; fix downspouts and gutters to extend further away from the house.
• Install vent fans in moisture-rich areas of the house such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
• Service your HVAC unit regularly and install a dehumidifier in moisture-rich areas.
• Move moisture-damaged wood and stray woodpiles away from your property; eliminate any wood-to-soil contact.
• Put loose mortar and weather stripping around your foundation, windows, and doors to prevent entry.

The truth is that no method of DIY termite prevention is entirely effective. The best thing you can do is call in the professionals. Action Pest Control offers complete termite treatment and protection in Lancaster, so call us today before things get out of hand.
