Pest Control Rougemont

Ant Control

Ants are a common issue for people in Rougemont. Homeowners often begin to see them in their kitchen as the weather begins to warm up. Household ants usually build their colonies outside of your home and send ants into your home looking for food and water. They can come in through small cracks around your windows and doors. Fire ants may be another issue, since they can bite your family and pets. They will build their mounds outside with extensive tunneling systems. Carpenter ants will damage your home since they build their nests inside the wood of your home.

Trying to treat the ants on your own can be ineffective. The baits may temporarily stop the ants, but unless you kill the queen. The ant control experts at EcoTek can determine the types of ants that are bothering you and create a customized treatment plan that will eliminate ants on your property for good.

Termite Control

Termites will eat through the wood in your home causing thousands of dollars in damage. Termites can be tricky to spot because they do the damage to areas of your home that you do not usually see. Some signs of termites include seeing mud tubes on your foundation or discarded wings, especially in the spring. Termites will weaken the structural integrity of your home since they will eat through floor joists and supporting wall beams. They can also eat through the casings around the electrical wiring which can increase your chances of having a fire.

Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are a growing problem throughout the country. Bed bugs were eradicated from the United States in the 1960s, but they have made a comeback in the last twenty years. People are traveling more and will bring them home with them after a trip. Bed bugs do not spread any diseases, but they can cause itchy bites that will keep you up at night. They can also cause serious allergic reactions in some people.

Bed bugs are hard to treat because the treatment needs to be applied directly to the bugs themselves. The bugs are nocturnal so you will not see them during the day and they hide in cracks that are so small they are hard to see. Signs of a bed bug infestation include bloodstains in your sheets, itchy bites in rows and droppings on your bedding and mattress. Contact EcoTek for a free bed bug inspection today.
