Newark is an endearing little city that is surrounded by over 12,000 acres of public parkland. With all that natural scenery comes pests. At Lethal Pest Solutions we have been a staple in our community when it comes to effective pest control. Whether you are trying to protect your home or business, we are Newark’s one stop shop for all things pest control.
Bed Bug Prevention
A bed bug is an insect that feeds on the blood of humans while we sleep. Despite the common misconception that a bed bug infestation means that you have a dirty home, anyone can get bed bugs no matter how tidy you are. Having too much clutter just gives bed bugs more places to hide but it by no means lures them into your home. These insects usually get into our homes via secondary sources such as:
- Used furniture
- Used clothes
- Luggage
- Neighboring apartments
When bed bugs have gained access to your home, they will spread throughout the house, but prefer the bedroom where they can gain easy access to human blood. When they feed on us during the night they cause itchy bumps on our bodies. Their exoskeletons and feces are also capable of causing allergic reactions. Bed bugs prefer to hide under mattresses and boxsprings, in the folds of sheets, and behind headboards, dressers, and other furniture.
Controlling bed bugs is very difficult and can take weeks to months, depending on the seriousness of the infestation. That’s why bed bug defense is best left to the professionals at Lethal Pest Solutions. Our experts conduct a thorough evaluation of every nook and cranny of your home for bed bugs and evaluate the situation.
Signs Of Bedbugs
- Brown specs (feces) on sheets and mattresses or on walls
- Discarded exoskeletons and egg shells
- Tiny red bumps on your body
- Small red blood stains on sheets or pillowcases
Cockroach Control in Newark
Just the sight of a cockroach scurrying across your floor can make you instinctively reach for the roach killer. While most of us suffer from katsaridaphobia, or fear of cockroaches, it’s for good reason. Cockroaches don’t just make your skin crawl, they are also very unsanitary, causing asthma, allergies, and even transmit diseases. Cockroaches are known for their hardiness and ability to go months without food or water. When they find a reliable source of both, they tend to settle down. That is why cockroaches are commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms. At Lethal Pest Solutions, we offer effective roach control so you can take your house back. Signs of a cockroach infestation include:
- Body parts
- Dead cockroaches
- Egg casings
- Frass (droppings)
- Shed skin
Termite Treatment for Newark
Termites cause billions of dollars in damage to homes and businesses each year. Small as they may be, they can reduce a building to sawdust in a few years if they are in large numbers. Here in Delaware, the eastern subterranean termite is the most common termite.
Eastern Subterranean Termites
As their name implies, subterranean termites spend most of their lives living underground or in dead trees where conditions remain damp. When they do emerge to hunt for food or search for a place to start a new colony, they construct mud tubes to protect them from predatory animals and retain the moisture they need. If a termite colony is established too close to your home they can build mud tubes up the side of your exterior walls. As they explore they will probe your walls and roof for the tiniest entry point.
Signs of Termites
- Mud tubes on the outside of home and buildings
- Darkening or blistering wood
- Piles of frass (feces) that looks like sawdust
- Discarded wings from swarmers
In the event that you see signs of termites in or around your home or business, you should contact a professional pest control company to control the infestation. If you wait too long, you may have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on repairs. Lethal Pest Solutions will send out one of our highly trained termite inspectors to thoroughly inspect your property. After the problem has been identified, our specialized termite treatment will ensure that the termites are completely eliminated and will not return.
