There are many creatures which want to munch their way through our homes, but the worst must be those who eat the wood that holds up the roof over our very heads. These creatures really want the cellulose in the wood so they do not really mind if this is a roof beam, holding up the roof, or some priceless antique which came down through the family from many generations back. It is to this end then that termite control companies come in and get rid of these critters before they can eat everything in sight. A pest control company will, in fact, deal with just about any household infestation professionally and quickly at a very reasonable cost too.

Some of the creatures which invade our homes are not that dangerous. However, they do give us something to think about since we can come out in rashes and itchy welts which keep us awake at night. The humble bed bug, for example, will only eat just before dawn, when we are deep into the sleep pattern, but they feed on our blood which will usually wake us up for sure. If we move around a lot these creatures do not like it and they just go back into hiding until the next day.

These creatures are so hardy that they can actually survive for five months without feeding. Since we usually forget about them once they stop biting, this is how they survive for so long and how they manage to make a comeback at an inopportune time. Indeed, having an infestation of these creatures when we have visitors must be very embarrassing indeed and this is why it is so important to get the experts in to deal with them instead of trying to do home remedies which are not up to par.

There are some things which we can all do to cut down on the risk of an infestation for sure. Holidaying in hot climes will often mean that we bring home an unwanted guest in our luggage. It is important therefore to unpack in an outside space if possible and wash all the clothes in hot water as soon after arriving home as possible.

Even the suitcases themselves can harbor these tiny creatures so get them sprayed as soon as they enter the house so that anything that is lurking there is killed off immediately.

In the states, there has been a boom in infestations of bed bugs in particular, and motels and hotels are prime places to pick these creatures up and give them a free ride home. Unless we d something drastic about them right now, they will go on munching their way across America without any fear of being stopped.

Having the house tented and gassed is one way of keeping out the creatures but this does mean that the family and any pets will have to leave for some days. It is best to call in the experts as soon as anything is suspected to allay this kind of drastic action.
