Pests can wreak havoc in the home. Mice may get into your pantry, termites can weaken your home's structural integrity, and roaches are just plain gross. Additionally, many of these pests can carry diseases that pose a threat to the health of you and your family. Unfortunately, it's easy for some pests to go unnoticed until the situation becomes severe. Here are a few signs you should call your local pest control company.

You See Roaches

Seeing one roach doesn't necessarily mean you have an infestation. These pests are so common that one may wander in from a neighbor's apartment. According to the United States Census Bureau, about 14 million occupied housing units nationwide reported seeing roaches in their homes within the past year. However, seeing one usually means more are on the way. Be sure to handle the situation as soon as possible before it worsens.

You Find Mice Droppings

Mice are another infestation you may have to deal with. You might not hear them in the walls like you see in the movies. Instead, mice will discreetly scavenge for food while you're away or sleeping. However, they do leave behind mice droppings. As soon as you notice these, contact the professionals. Usually, a pest control company has experience with rodent infestations, too.

You Notice Increased Activity

It's common to see more pests during particular seasons. For example, roaches can easily travel from one building to a nearby structure during summer. Mice commonly find a new home inside during winter to escape the cold. However, you might be dealing with an infestation if you notice a sudden increase. Contact the professionals before it gets out of hand.

You See Bite Marks

Sometimes, the only symptom of a pest infestation is the bite marks they leave behind. If you have bed bugs, you may notice bug bites when you wake up. You may also notice bite marks and evidence of burrowing in the wood of your home if you have termites. Mosquitoes are another common pest that may leave you with bite marks.
