How Can You Tell If You Have Moles Or Gophers In Your Platte City Yard?

Moles and voles are notorious wildlife pests that like to burrow through and nest in the dirt throughout your yard. Being able to detect these invaders is the first step in controlling them around your property. Here are some signs that indicate you have moles or gophers in your Platte City yard:

The presence of mole or gophers mounds made of dirt throughout your yard
Mole mounds or hills are symmetrical and round, resembling the shape of a cone
Gopher mounds are shaped more like a horseshoe or crescent

Plants that have signs of surface feeding or that something pulled up through the dirt

For guaranteed protection from moles, gophers, and other common area wildlife species, the best plan of action is to reach out to your local pest experts for help. Contact the pros at Mantis Pest Solutions to learn more about our mole and gopher control and prevention services.

The Dangers Rodents Bring To Platte City Properties

Discovering rodents in your home or business is disturbing, but more importantly, there are some serious consequences that can result from a rodent infestation. Rodent infestation puts both your health and safety at risk, which is why local homeowners and business owners should prepare accordingly.

Rodents are sneaky and gain entry into your property via remote cracks and crevices that are hard to access. As they travel around your property, they spread germs, bacteria, and pathogens, causing widespread contamination throughout the structure. This high level of contamination compromises the health of everyone on the premises, not to mention the fact that they can also spread disease through their bite. Rodents are also a threat to the structural integrity of your property. They chew on the structure as well as electrical wiring, putting you at risk for a fire.

Now that you understand the dangers rodents bring to Platte City properties, it’s time to secure the proper pest protection. We are proud to provide safe and effective rodent protection for your home or business at Mantis Pest Solutions. Contact us to learn more about our rodent solutions.

How Bed Bugs Travel In Platte City

Bed bugs, the tiny parasitic insects often no bigger than an apple seed, are very adept at traveling to find blood hosts. These resourceful pests can move around in many ways, including the following:

Bed bugs can come from other units

If your neighbors have bed bugs, they can enter your home through doors, windows, electrical outlets, and more. Everyone infested must treat the issue to prevent future problems.

Bed bugs can come through infested items

If you have recently brought used furniture like mattresses and couches indoors only to find yourself infested, they could be the culprit. If you must bring secondhand items into your home, thoroughly check them for bugs first.

Bed bugs can hitchhike inside suitcases

It is not uncommon for hotels to have bed bug infestations. We recommend inspecting clothes and other items when you return from trips and washing and drying everything at high temperatures.

When it comes to parasitic pests, it is best to rely on the services of a professional pest control company. Call us today to learn more about our safe and effective bed bug control strategies.

How Termites Silently Destroy Platte City Properties

Termites can silently destroy properties by feeding on their wooden structures thanks to the specialized system of enzymes and bacteria in their guts that allows them to digest cellulose, something other wood-destroying insects can’t do.

If you are dealing with a termite problem, they likely entered your home through cracks and crevices in the foundation or walls. It is also possible for them to come in through infested wood. Some factors like high humidity levels, damaged or rotting wood, and more can also increase the likelihood of an infestation. A pest control professional can help determine the root cause of your termite problem.

Once inside, they can wreak havoc for a long time because they do their destructive work silently and relentlessly, working all day and night without needing to sleep. And because they are usually behind walls and under foundations, they are impossible to see unless you start seeing the signs of termite infestations.

With these destructive insects, prevention and early detection are key. The trained experts at Mantis Pest Solutions can help identify an infestation in its early stages and recommend strategies to keep them away year-round. Call us today to learn more and get started with an initial home inspection.

Factors That Attract Dangerous Spiders In And Around Your Platte City Home

Spiders are prevalent in Kansas, but keeping them out of your home is still possible. Many factors can attract dangerous spiders, usually brown recluses and black widows, in and around your Platte City home, such as the following:

Shelter

Many invaders seek warm and dry environments, especially during the colder months, although they are also likely to come in when the weather is sweltering. One of the best ways to keep them out is to seal off all access points whenever possible.

Food sources

Spiders feed on insects and invade homes with abundant insect populations. Eliminating other pest infestations is critical to keeping spiders away.

Clutter

Spiders favor cluttered and unkempt areas where they can hide, hunt for prey, and lay eggs away from human activity.

Moisture

Many spider species prefer damp and humid environments. If you have leaky pipes, stagnant water sources, and high humidity levels, you must take care of them.

Outdoor vegetation

It is best to keep plants away from the structure of your home, as spiders can use them as a pathway to come indoors and use them as shelter.

Venomous spiders can cause many problems, from painful bites to anaphylactic shock. If you suspect that your home might be the target of venomous species, call us today to get rid of them with safe and effective spider treatments and prevention strategies.

Call The Pros About Total Mosquito Control For Your Platte City Home
