Ants
Ants
will invade any structure once a food supply or
nest site has been found. Myth: Ants only infest
"dirty" areas. There is actually no
particular criteria for an ant's habitat other
then a nearby source of food and water. Once we
obtain control, we suggest continued outside treatments
to ensure ants do not re-infest the home.
Cockroaches
A
cockroach can live a week without it head. The
roach only dies without a mouth, it can't drink
water so it dies of thirst. Cockroaches can run
up to tree miles in an hour. Young cockroaches
need only a crack as thin as a dime (about .5mm
wide) to crawl into. Adult males can squeeze into
a space of 1.6mm or the thickness of a quarter.
Rodents
Rodents may come in through almost any opening—pet
door, holes in walls, missing vent screens, openings
around pipes, dryer duct vents, etc. The roof
may also be a handy highway into your home. Mice
can squeeze through spaces as small as 1/4"
wide. Rats can can
squeeze through spaces as small as 1/2" wide.
Rodents spread disease by constantly giving off
hundreds of micro-droplets of urine as they travel
around their territory every
day.
