Termite Protection

Hearing the words “you have termites” is not accepted with gladness by any homeowner. Termites cost homeowners in the United States $3 billion in treatment, damage, and repair--more monetary damage than fire, flood, hurricane, and tornado damage combined!

Termite Warning Signs

Wings in windowsills, swarming winged insects usually seen in morning and early afternoon and/or mud tubes found climbing up exterior walls are just a few of the signs of termites.

Termite Risk Factors

The primary food for termites is cellulose, which is found in many places in your home such as pine, cardboard boxes, newspaper and books. The majority of houses in Tennessee are stick frame houses; however, even concrete block or brick homes can attract termites. Your baseboards, the studs that hold the sheetrock, and possibly your attic have wood trusses. Eliminating termites swiftly is essential.

Termite Treatment Plans

Rocky Top Pest Control will inspect you home and set up a treatment plan that meets your specific needs. This 3-part plan includes treating your home, setting up a shield against further termite attacks and eliminating surplus moisture. Avoid unnecessary damage from termites.

Night Night, Sleep Tight...Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite!

Bed bugs are ever-increasing in population and these crawling critters could be headed your way. A bed bug is a blood-sucking insect that feeds on humans and pets. This bug is less than a quarter of an inch long and brownish red in color. They are flat, oval shaped and do not fly. They live in mattresses, bed frames, furniture, crevices in walls and just about anywhere in a house that you could fit the edge of a knife.

 

Bed bugs travel from an active infestation site to another by way of your clothing, furniture, or suitcases. They can thrive in practically any location they find themselves. One female can give birth to up to 500 new bugs each year and soon establish a new infestation. Bed bugs were nearly eradicated in the early 40s and 50s when the chemical DDT was the most common method of treatment, but DDT was banned in the 1960s. Scientists believe that the reappearance of bed bugs could be the result of this pesticide restriction and a marked increase in domestic and foreign travel. As more and more luggage is shuttled from place to place, lodging establishments are unknowingly providing ample breeding grounds for this flourishing pest.

 

Evidence of bed bug bites is skin irritations which are red, round blotchy areas on your arms and legs. Bed bugs are messy pests. They leave characteristic tiny brownish blood stains on your sheets and mattress when they finish “blood-sucking”.

Protecting Your Family from Bed Bugs

  • Carefully choose your hotel and lodging. Always check the mattress, sheets and headboards for bugs and blood stains any where you stay. Don’t hesitate to lift off the mattress covers.
  • It sounds simple but, make sure your children do not stay at a friend’s house that is actively infested. They will bring home more than their dirty clothing!
  • Carefully inspect used furniture you buy for bed bugs. If possible, leave the furniture outside for several days to “air” out.
  • Any time you are concerned that you have had contact with bed bugs, leave all luggage and clothes outside until they can be washed in hot water and dried on hot.

You can be rid of bed bugs and have your piece of mind again.
