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.
Termites are a threat to properties in Gainesville, Centreville, Bristow, and other nearby cities. They get into homes and eat away at any wood they can find, feeding 24/7 and causing costly damage. But because this damage occurs inside walls, and because the termites live underground, most homeowners will not notice they have termites. The worst infestations can go on for years.
Finished and unfinished basements in Gainesville and the surrounding area are a good hiding spot for several different pests. Because they are below ground, basements are very close to bugs’ outdoor habitats. Basements are often more humid than aboveground living spaces, and therefore more attractive to bugs. Unfinished basements that are rarely used also provide a dark hiding space for bugs that avoid light.
The difficulty when you live in an apartment is that you are surrounded by neighbors with different cleaning habits than you. Even if you keep your apartment spotless, your neighbors might not. When your neighbors have bugs, pipes, vents, gaps in walls and molding, and doorways make it easy for the bugs to move from another unit to your apartment, giving you your own infestation to deal with.
Mosquitoes are seemingly everywhere in Northern Virginia. It doesn’t really matter where you go. If you are spending time outside, you are almost guaranteed to have a few bites the next day. Mosquitoes seem like a fact of living here, and so many homeowners do not consider the benefits of limiting mosquitoes around their yards with professional mosquito control.
