Different types of ants have different behaviors. Most ant infestations in homes in this area are carpenter ants, which are sometimes called sugar ants. There are actually several species of carpenter ants. In addition, fire ants, flying ants, and black house ants are also common pests.
Termites
New homes under construction or existing homes can be treated to prevent termites from damaging the wood materials in the home. A pest control service can make recommendations for removing existing termite colonies and protecting the house from future problems.
Cockroaches
The German, Australian, and the American cockroach are the most common problem in homes in this part of the country. Often cockroaches hide very successfully until their population becomes so large you see them in the kitchen or other areas of the home.
Insects are not just a nuisance; they are potentially problematic for your home, your health, and even the resale value of your property.
