Keene, NH Pest Control

There are many ways pest problems can arise. Often, residents in Keene don't contact Cheshire County pest control until they notice that they have a problem. But this can be long after pests have created issues. Let's look at a few ways pests can secretly cause trouble before you see them, and discuss how residential and commercial pest control service plans guard against these hidden problems.

Home Pest Control In Keene, NH

You know that pests can be annoying. It is also likely that you are aware that pests can present a health risk or damage your property, but you might not see the whole picture.

  • When you discover termites in the wood of your home, it is too late. These insects can create extensive tunnels in wood before they're ever detected.
  • When you see a cockroach in your home, it isn't likely to be long before they've had time to make you feel ill. Frequent stomach illness or trips to the hospital for asthma-related symptoms won't alert you to a roach problem if you don't realize they can make you sick in these ways.
  • When you see one mouse or one rat, it is likely that you have a lot of rodents hiding in your home. These animals typically avoid detection until high populations increase the chance of a sighting. But these hidden animals can impact your life. Rodents spread harmful bacteria, they bring ticks and fleas inside, and they can chew on the wiring inside your walls.
  • When carpet beetles, silverfish, or clothing moths get into storage areas, they can damage your stuff before you go up into your attic and discover them.
  • You know that mosquitoes spread malaria and other dangerous diseases, but you might not know that mosquitoes can make you sick with symptoms that resemble the flu or the common cold. Long before they annoy you enough to do something about them in your yard, they can impact the health of you and your family.

We could give many other examples, but you get the point. Pests can make you sick and damage your things before you even realize you have a pest problem. Residential pest control services reduce pest activity around your home and prevent pests from getting inside. You can also get proactive control for mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and other pests that live in the area around your home.

Commercial Pest Control In Keene, NH

No business should ever go without a commercial pest control plan. There are many surprising ways pests can impact your bottom line before you notice a pest problem and deal with it. Here are a few examples:

  • When an employee is sick, you may not realize that it is due to a cockroach, rodent, or fly infestation.
  • Productivity in your business can drop when employees continually find pests in their works spaces or in the break room.
  • When a tenant moves out, you may not know that it is due to frequent spider sightings.
  • When you realize bed bugs have taken root in your business, it may be after several guests have taken to social media, or posted a video about their experience.
  • You may never know that customers stopped coming to your business because they saw flies buzzing around.
  • When you find winged carpenter ants crawling on interior window panes, you might realize that these ants are the reason why the floor is sinking down in the corner.

The best way to address pest problems is to have routine visits from a commercial pest control provider. This will keep pests on the outside of your business and help to guard against the far-reaching impact pests can have.

The Secret To Keeping Mosquitoes Away From Your Keene Yard

It might not seem like it but it is possible to keep mosquitoes out of your yard. The secret is connected to mosquito reproduction. You may not know this but mosquitoes that bite you in your yard are mostly mosquitoes that live in your yard. When mosquitoes hatch, they're focused on reproduction. They're not looking to go on a long trip. Plus, females are motivated to stay near humid resting spots that are ideal for reproduction and where plentiful male mosquitoes can be found. Both are likely to be conditions that are present where female mosquitoes hatch.

If you want fewer mosquitoes around your home and on your property, the first step is to address conditions that promote reproduction. This is done by removing objects that collect rainwater. Certain mosquito species lay their eggs in stagnant water. Once you've addressed breeding sites, here are a few more tips to help you get even better control of mosquitoes:

  • Mosquitoes are attracted to moist and humid environments because if they don't stay moist, they dry out and die. Clean your gutters and trim landscape vegetation to keep your perimeter dryer than mosquitoes would like.
  • Mosquitoes rest often. They prefer to rest in vegetation and stacked wood. Remove unnecessary plants, grasses, and weeds from your landscaping and move dead branches and stacked wood away from your home.
  • Mosquitoes eat nectar. Plants with flowers can draw mosquitoes into your yard. Address lawn weeds to reduce this food source.

These steps can bring mosquito populations to a level that is below your threshold for comfort. If you want more control than this, contact Big Blue Bug Solutions for seasonal mosquito treatments in Keene. Routine applications and other pest maintenance will make your property undesirable to mosquitoes and proactively work to prevent bites and mosquito-borne illnesses.

Are Wasps In Keene Dangerous?

In rare cases, wasps can present a threat to individuals who have an allergy to stinging insect venom but, generally, wasps aren't dangerous. The wounds they cause usually result in localized pain and nothing more. Wasps are even less dangerous when you don't have them on your property. Routine inspections can catch nests and wasp activity early and prevent nests from fully forming. Why is this important? Wasps typically sting people when defending their nests.

If you'd like routine inspections and early wasp detection, we can help. Reach out to us here at Big Blue Bug Solutions. We can guide you toward the right pest control solution for your home or business.

The Types Of Ants That Invade Keene Properties

Understanding pest problems is the start to finding good control methods; this is true for ants as much as it is for all other local pests. Here in Keene, many different types of ants like to invade homes.

Some of the most common species include carpenter ants, pharaoh ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants. Of these pests, pavement ants and odorous house ants are the least problematic. These common invaders mainly cause problems with how they steal food and contaminate stored items. Beyond this, they are mostly just a nuisance.

Carpenter ants and pharaoh ants, on the other hand, are problems you should be concerned about. Carpenter ants build their nests into the structural wood of homes, business buildings, and outbuildings; this causes extensive damage over time and can cost property owners a lot in repair work. Pharaoh ants cause a different type of problem. These pests regularly carry bacteria into homes. Two diseases that are commonly associated with these pests are salmonellosis and staphylococcus.

If you want to avoid ants and the problems they cause, call Big Blue Bug Solutions today to learn more about our ant control offerings.

What It's Like To Have A Bed Bug Infestation In Your Keene Home

Living with any type of bug is annoying. Living with a bug that likes to bite you while you are asleep is unbearable; this is what bed bugs are most commonly known for doing. These blood-feeding pests invade homes across Keene and ruin sleep for anyone they interact with.

If you are dealing with an active bed bug infestation inside your home, however, you might not know these pests are around at first. These local insects do not always leave a mark behind with their bites and don't leave other noticeable signs until weeks, if not months, after the initial infestation.

If these pests have been inside your home for over a month, you might start to notice little clues of their presence, like blood stains on your bed, specks of fecal droppings around your bedroom, and eggs, shed skin, and live bed bugs in cracks and crevices around your home.

To find out if you are dealing with these pests inside your Keene home, let our team perform a detailed inspection; this is the best way to spot existing infestations and will allow our team to recommend treatment options if they find a problem. Reach out today to get started on our bed bug control services in Keene.

Can I Get Rid Of Roaches In My Keene House On My Own?

When it comes to pest control, cockroaches are notoriously one of the most difficult creatures to deal with.; this is for a few reasons. To start, these local insects are fast. German cockroaches can skitter at three miles per hour and, like other roaches, do not break pace when they transition from floors, to walls, to ceilings.

To make things worse, cockroaches, in general, are resistant to many forms of traditional pest control, can withstand over 900 times their body weight in pressure, and are naturally skittish. If you are considering dealing with an infestation on your own, keep these things in mind. Also, consider the fact that roach control products can be harmful when used improperly.

The absolute best way to make sure these pests get and stay out of your Keene home is to invest in professional assistance. Our team at Big Blue Bug Solutions understands cockroaches and has the tools and training needed to help you address an active infestation. Talk with our team today to learn more about our options and find a service plan that best serves your needs.
