In many situations, any pests that you see in your home are after one main thing: food. They're in your home because they found some sort of food source, and they're always trying to eat. However, for some pests infestations, water can be a huge part of the problem. Some pests are actually attracted to water sources, such as a leaky faucet, or a standing pool. Here are some of the most common water loving pests.

The warmer months are a fun time for families. The kids get a little break from school, and you have the opportunity to spend a lot more time together. That means outdoor activities, late night movie binging and even fun vacations that you’ve been looking forward to for months. Not to mention you have some extra helpers around the house that can work on keeping your home nice and neat.

Its never a great feeling when you find any sort of pests in your home. Once it happens, you instantly feel paranoid and its hard to get rid of the feeling. However its even worse when you find pests in your pantry. Picture this; you open the door to your pantry to look for something to snack on. You haven’t cleaned it out for a while so it takes you a while to find exactly what you’re looking for. As you go out to reach for it a line of ants streaming into the box of crackers catches your eye. How horrifying! 

Getting rid of an ant infestation really depends on your level of patience and tolerance. how comfortable are you actually coming face to face with the ants? Because overall, ants are generally pretty harmless. Sure, you can get bitten by an ant (it’s definitely happened to me a few times), but ant attacks are rare and more irritating than painful. Allergic reactions to ants are even rarer, and they haven’t been known to carry harmful diseases. Of course, the biggest reason to get rid of ants is to keep your food safe. Once you have an ant problem, all exposed food is vulnerable and you can never be sure where they've been. If you forget to put the leftovers away after dinner, you're most likely going to find ants crawling all over them in the morning.

If you've never come into contact with a termite, you might not even be sure what they look like. Consider yourself luck. If you keep reading this blog, you'll end up learning a lot about termites. For instance, did you know termites never sleep? They are always working around-the-clock, eating wood 24/7. Did you also know termites can actually grow wings? It’s true. “Swarming” termites grow wings when they set up a new nest, then get rid of them right after.
