Why Iowa Park Homeowners Need Termite Protection

Every year, termite damage is inflicted upon approximately 600,000 homes across the United States. These issues tend to go unnoticed for at least 18 months because of where they take place, and then end up costing homeowners a collective five billion dollars annually as a result. Not only are termite problems expensive and pervasive, but they can also be very difficult to prevent. Something as simple as having undetected water damage or placing mulch too close to a home’s foundation can be enough to lure termites onto a property. The level of attention to detail that proper prevention and monitoring takes is unfortunately a quality that the average homeowner doesn’t possess. If termite problems do happen within your home, you'll want professional service, the highest quality products, and a service warranty that will protect your home from year to year.

Habits And Behaviors Of Common Spiders In Iowa Park

Wide open spaces and densely populated areas make up the great state of Texas. Both types of environments, in conjunction with our warm temperatures, allow many pests to thrive in our region. Spiders are a common pest, a type of arachnid, and regularly find their way to our Iowa Park homes.

Texas is home to both harmless and dangerous species of spiders. Dangerous spiders like black widow and brown recluse spiders have venom that is strong enough to cause harm to people and pets. Luckily, most spiders, like common house and wolf spiders that we regularly encounter, are harmless. While they have venom, their venom is only potent enough to cause physical harm to their insect prey.

While each species of spiders differs, all spiders share some common behaviors and habits:

• Spiders are predatory: They capture and feed on other arachnids and insects.
• Spiders are naturally shy and reclusive: They prefer to hang out in dark, quick areas with a lot of clutter and hiding spaces- dense vegetation, wood piles, basements, closets, sheds, garages, and crawl spaces.
• Spiders are fairly adaptable: While they prefer to live outside, they will quickly be comfortable inside our homes.
