TAUNTON, MA PEST CONTROL

Why Choose Professional Bed Bug Treatments For Your Taunton Home 

Almost entirely extinct in the late 1900s, bed bugs are a type of parasitic past that are practically ubiquitous in the Taunton area. These parasitic blood-feeders rely on a warm-blooded host to survive, particularly human beings. Once bed bugs find a place to settle down, they rarely, if ever, move. Bed bugs can live for years in the same location, going to up one year without feeding.

Bed bug infestations are no longer a rare occurrence and inflict thousands of local homeowners every year. Professional bed bug treatments are your best possible option to keep your home and family safe.

Here’s how the professional crew at Big Blue Bug Solutions handles bed bugs in Taunton:

Answering Taunton Most Commonly Asked Mouse Questions 

Mice are some of the most frustrating infesting agents in Taunton. These rodents fit through holes the size of a dime and can overrun homes with their fast reproduction rates. Despite their widespread prevalence, many homeowners in Taunton have questions about the true motives of mice and how to control them effectively.

Check out this helpful list of frequently asked questions about mice:

Q: What do mice look like?

A: Mice are four-inch mammals that appear in color patterns of brown, tan, and grey. They have short, fuzzy tails, large ears, and a pointed snout with long whiskers.

Q: Are mice in Taunton dangerous?

A: Although they may appear cute and cuddly, the mice of Taunton are extremely dangerous. Mice can and will attack when threatened, causing physical damage. Their ability to spread serious illness is another significant factor and may infect hosts with strains of bacteria, viruses, and parasite eggs. Finally, mice can significantly damage the home, from the destruction of insulation to the chewing of wires (fire hazards).

Q: How can I get rid of mice?

A: You can control mice through prevention, home remedies, and over-the-counter (OTC) products. However, bear in mind that none of these solutions can effectively manage an established mouse infestation. If you suspect that some kind of rodent is present in your home, immediately reach out to the professionals at Big Blue Bug Solutions. We’re here to answer any questions you may have about mice, their control, and ongoing prevention. 

Don't Let Ants Go Marching Into Your Taunton House 

You can't go outside on a nice summer day in Taunton without seeing ants. For the most part, it's easy to let these ants go about their business without a second thought, but if you start finding them in your house, they'll be on your mind a lot more often. Once ants find their way into your home, it can feel like no matter what you do; they just keep coming. 

The best way to avoid the frustration that accompanies an ant infestation is to avoid having ants get into your house in the first place. The following tips can help:

• Reduce moisture around the outside of your house, as well as inside. Ants like to live near a water source, so they're less likely to get close to your home if they can't find one.
• Remove food sources from your countertops, and make sure to store food in containers with tightly fitting lids.
• Clean up spills, crumbs, and other food messes as soon as they occur.
• Seal entry points into your house that ants might use to get inside.

If you still find ants in your house, you'll want to start looking for ant pest control services near you. Your best choice is Big Blue Bug Solutions. We have over 80 years of experience solving ant and other pest problems for Taunton homeowners.
