If you live or work in Howard County, you know that keeping your property in good condition can be challenging. With weather that changes with each passing season, pest problems come and go as well.

Termites are pests you do not want to get in your Howard County home or business. They are very destructive to the wooden structures in your building. If you don't notice the infestation right away (which is very common since termites stay hidden), you could end up with a structure that requires substantial and costly repairs. If you believe that you don't need termite control unless termites move into your building, you could be making a serious mistake. 

Waiting for termites to invade before you do anything about them will cause far more trouble for you than if you put a preventative termite control plan in place. Avoiding damage to your home or business is far easier and will cost you less money in the long run than having to deal with a termite infestation and termite damage after it has already occurred. For the best termite control near you, contact Accutech Pest Management. We offer a variety of termite control options, including bait systems, liquid treatments, annual warranty renewals, and more. Contact us for more information.

When it comes to dangerous pests, rodents stand out as one of the worst. While most dangerous pests receive that label because of one issue they cause, such as causing damage or spreading germs, rodents receive it because they pose both a danger to your house and a threat to your family.

Rodents are known for their destructive tendencies. They chew on almost anything, which means that once they get into your home, you'll end up with damaged insulation, wiring, pipes, belongings, and much more. While some of the damage will be just a nuisance, some of it will put your home at risk of fire, water damage, mold, and more.

Rodents are also known for making people ill. They spread diseases through their droppings and, less frequently, by coming into direct contact with people. Salmonellosis, tularemia, and hantavirus are just three of the many illnesses you can contract from a rodent infestation.  

If rodents have gotten into your home, get them out with rodent pest control from Accutech Pest Management. We offer a quarterly rodent-specific program that will eliminate your current rodent problem and maintain your home's protection. We also offer exclusion work upon request. Make your house rodent-free and protect it and your family from harm with rodent control from Accutech Pest Management.

Wildlife like raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and birds can all invade your Howard County yard easily due to their free roam. In order to deter them from getting too comfortable, try these tips:

• Decorate your property. Some wildlife animals are scared off by the presence of other animals, so implementing decoys around your house and yard may prove helpful. You can also hang shiny objects like mylar balloons. 
• Store garbage securely. Your trash bins are likely very appealing to wildlife because of the food they contain. When disposing of trash outside, make sure that it's in properly tied bags. Use a bin with a lid as well and don’t miss your weekly trash collection. 
• Remove other food sources. If you have a vegetable garden or fruit trees, always dispose of decomposing produce quickly. When you’re hosting outdoor gatherings or enjoying a meal on the deck, never leave food outside. It’s also important to clean off outdoor cooking areas after using them. 
• Bring in an expert. Wildlife can be unpredictable and potentially harmful to either your health or the safety of your property. Mishandling wildlife can also be detrimental to the animals, but an expert is going to act humanely to avoid mistreatment. For these reasons, working with a wildlife expert is imperative to deal with these types of invaders.

Wasps are territorial and aggressive pests that can sting people repeatedly if they are provoked. Fortunately for some Howard County residents, they aren’t attracted to all properties. There are, however, a few key factors that may lure them to others. Those traits include:

• Sweet flowers: Wasps are significant pollinators for the ecosystem, so it will come as no surprise that they are drawn to sweet and blossoming flowers. They are especially lured to flowers that are white, yellow, purple, and blue. 
• Other food sources: In addition to flowers, wasps are attracted to many other sugary or sweet substances. They can typically find these items in trash containers or gardens with fruit trees. If outdoor garbage bins are overflowing, fruit has fallen and is decomposing, or party hosts leave food uncovered and unattended, then they might experience a wasp problem. 
• Old nests: These pests are very likely to check on old nests to see if they’re still in good condition. If they are, then wasps may rebuild on the same property. 
• Moisture accumulation: Having an excess of moisture from leaks around the outside of a home or water build-up around plumbing areas can also be enticing to wasps.

Bed bugs are a very common pest problem for Howard County residents, and the most effective way to eliminate them is with professional services. A few of the benefits that working with a pro will provide include:

• Proper identification of challenging infestations: One of the most important ways that professional services help homeowners is by actually being able to identify an infestation in the first place. Bed bugs only come out when people are asleep, which makes them innately tough to spot. They also usually live inside mattresses, sofas, electrical outlets, or carpeting, so locating the actual source of an infestation can be a challenge for the average individual but not for a trained expert. 
• Ability to address rapid reproduction: Bed bugs start reproducing their own eggs after approximately a month of hatching. A single blood meal can provide around 20 eggs and they have a mortality rate of 97%. This combination can make infestations difficult to curb. 
• Cutting off infestations that won’t self-resolve: The needs of bed bugs change with the environmental conditions, so during the cooler months, it may seem that an infestation has dissipated while it’s merely gone dormant. Additionally, bed bugs are capable of living for long periods of time without a constant food source, so they will stay put at the promise of one. 
• Reliability: By working with a pest control company, homeowners can benefit from the highest quality treatments. These services are going to be applied by a trained technician and will be safe for the entire household and carry the assurance that only trained professionals can provide that the entire infestation has been dealt with.
