Randleman, NC Pest Control

As a homeowner, pests are the last thing you want to encounter. However, these critters are often drawn to homes searching for food and shelter. If you've noticed pests in your home, move quickly to remedy the situation, as these pests can quickly become an infestation.

Randleman is home to a variety of pests, including:

• Termites: These pests are attracted to wood and can cause extensive and expensive damage to your home if left unchecked.
• Cockroaches: Roches are both unsightly and dangerous as they can spread disease-causing bacteria.
• Ants: While most ants are harmless, some species can bite and sting humans.
• Flies: Flies are known to carry a variety of diseases and can be a bother in the home.

Some homeowners think they can easily D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself) themselves out of a pest problem. However, this is often not the case as most over-the-counter pesticides are ineffective against pests.

According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause over five billion dollars in damage to homes and businesses in the United States each year.

Termites are often referred to as "silent destroyers" as they can eat away at your home without you even knowing it. These pests are attracted to wood and can quickly cause extensive damage to your home. With the average cost of termite repairs at over three thousand dollars - you can't afford to wait until it's too late.

Despite being silent, there are tell-tale signs that you have a termite problem. Some things to look out for include:

• Mud tubes on the exterior of your home
• Swarms of winged insects in or around your home
• Discarded wings near doors and windows
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
• Frass (termite droppings) near damaged wood

Termite infestations are nothing to take lightly. Unlike other pests, which may be a seasonal problem, termites are active year-round.

As such, you need to always be on the lookout for these pests. The best way to protect your home against termites is to contact a local seasoned termite control firm like Otho's Pest Management.

We'll conduct a thorough inspection of your home for any indication of termites. We'll also provide you with a comprehensive report of our findings and recommendations.

We use EPA-approved products and state-of-the-art technology to protect your home against termites. Our technicians are highly trained and will quickly work to get the job done right. 

Spiders are pests; however, they play an essential role in our ecosystem.

• These eight-legged creatures help control the population of other pests such as flies, mosquitoes, and moths.

• They're good for the soil as they help aerate it and help with decomposition.

• Spiders help with pollination as they often get covered in pollen when they travel from plant to plant.

While spiders are beneficial in many ways, some can be dangerous to humans. These include the black widow and the brown recluse. Contact with these spiders can result in serious health problems.

If you have a spider problem in or around your home, contact Otho's Pest Management today. We'll send a technician out to your home to assess the situation, identify the spider species, and create a customized plan to eliminate them.

Don't let spiders take over your home - give us a call today.

If you find an ant in your house, it won’t be long before you see another, then another. Ants live in colonies, and they don’t do many things all by themselves. If one comes inside your Randleman house looking for food, it’ll alert the other ants in the colony when it finds some so that the other worker ants know just where to go.

An ant infestation requires you to take action to get rid of it. Ants don’t typically go away on their own, so you need to do something to eliminate the problem and prevent it from returning. These six steps will help:

1. Get effective ant control from Otho’s Pest Management. Ants can be tricky to treat properly because different species require different treatment methods, and you have to get to the source of the infestation to eliminate it completely. Otho’s Pest Management has the experience necessary to do the job with excellence.

2. Clean out your cabinets, cupboards, and pantry. Food items can easily spill into these areas and attract ants.

3. Keep your home tidy, especially in areas where food is prepared or eaten.

4. Store your food in containers with tightly-fitting lids. Don’t leave any food out in the open.

5. Make sure you don’t have any moisture issues inside or outside your house. If you do, get them fixed right away.

6. Seal all possible entry points into your house, including small cracks and gaps around windows and doors.

Following these tips will help you get rid of ants in your house and make sure they don’t return.

When it comes to bed bugs, a lot of the information that makes its way around to people is simply not true. Knowing the truth about bed bugs can help you in the event that you end up with bed bugs in your Randleman home. Here are five common misconceptions about bed bugs:

1. Bed bugs only infest dirty houses. The truth is that bed bugs will move into any home they enter, spotless or filthy. This misconception may stem from the fact that bed bugs usually go unnoticed for longer in a house with a lot of clutter, which means the infestation can become much larger before it gets treated.

2. Bed bugs are too small to see. Thankfully, this is not the case. Adult bed bugs are easily seen with the naked eye, growing to be about the size and shape of a small apple seed. Although nymphs and eggs are harder to see because of their smaller size and lighter coloring, they are also visible if you look for them.

3. Bed bugs spread diseases. As far as we know, bed bugs do not spread diseases through their bites. While this is good news, it doesn’t mean that a bed bug infestation isn’t a serious problem for your Randleman home. Bed bugs are a public health concern, and you should treat them as such.

4. DIY bed bug control will take care of your bed bug infestation. As nice as it would be to take care of a bed bug problem on your own, DIY bed bug control methods don’t work. They can also be dangerous if not done according to the directions.

5. Bed bug treatments are expensive and take a long time. If you need bed bug control in Randleman, Otho’s Pest Management offers effective and efficient bed bug control services that won’t break the bank.

If you find bed bugs in your house, contact Otho’s Pest Management right away. We’ll take care of the problem for you.
