You have a lot to consider when you buy a home - neighborhood, square footage, backyard size. You also want to buy a home that is safe, in good condition, and not going to cost you thousands in repairs over the next years. Pests are a key issue that can be a cause of damage and discomfort if they are already residents in your new home.

In the later part of summer and early fall, you might feel like you are surrounded by more bees, wasps, and hornets every time you eat outside. This is not your imagination. Here in the Gainesville area, stinging insects become more aggressive in the fall. They are more likely to fly into your picnic, backyard barbeque, or even your home. They are also more likely to sting if you get too close.
Both ants and termites have "Swarmers," which can fly and find new places to live. Knowing the difference between a swarming ant and a swarming termite can help you figure out the urgency of getting pest control help.
The majority of DIY termite control is ineffective and enables the problem to simply get worse, causing you to have to pay more for professional termite control in the end. You will need the right knowledge, tools, and support, which most homeowners do not have access to.
There are a few things worse than opening the shower door to find a spider hiding out in the corner of the tub. Unless, of course, you turn on the bathroom light at night to find a centipede racing across your floor. In your home, bathrooms are one of the best places for many different species of bugs. They have the ample moisture that most pests need to survive and are often warm and humid, which is attractive to bugs.
There are some pests for which you can handle the extermination process on your own. Wasps are not one of those pests. These stinging insects are particularly dangerous with stings that are painful, and can also cause allergic reactions and, in severe cases, extreme injury and death.
