Residential Pest Control for Kentucky

Homeowners in Kentucky will often find themselves battling ant invasions. Ants prefer to be outside, but will enter the home to find food, entering the home though small cracks, power lines, plumbing and other small spaces. Small ants are regarded as nuisance pest, where as carpenter ants are capable of causing structural damage to the home.  Another invading pest that causes structural damage are mice. Mice enter the home looking for a place to nest causing damage as they chew into the insulation, wood structure and sometimes the electrical wires. In addition to causing structural damage, mice carry disease that can be spread to the inhabitants of the home. Many pet owners worry about a possible flea infestation, but fleas are the least of their worries. Homes with fleas attract earwigs, which then increases your pest problem greatly. No matter the type or size of your infestations, local licensed pest control experts can eradicate any pest invasion, pinpoint the place where they are entering and seal those areas.  Your family and home are what matters most to you, protect them by getting a home inspection by a professional exterminator at the first sign of pests.
