June is National Pest Control Month, and it’s the perfect time to learn more about some of the uninvited guests that often take up residence in your property. According to Cincinnati, OH’s Select Pest Control, these household nuisances come in a variety of species and specialized treatments are required to eradicate an infestation once and for all. 

Read on for some fascinating facts about three common household pests: 

• Bed Bugs: One of the most dreaded pest problems begins with a tiny bug. It only takes one bed bug to bring eggs into your home, and a single female can lay eggs as many as five times a day. In the right climate with a satisfactory source of food—which is human blood—a bed bug’s life cycle can extend up to one year. Luckily, trained dogs like Rocco at Select Pest Control can sniff out these tiny terrors to support the extermination process.
• Ants: These pesky pests come in a wide variety of species and can colonize your property and resist do-it-yourself control tactics. Each colony can comprise upwards of 300,000 ants that support the queen ant, which can live longer than a decade!
• Spiders: There are countless species of arachnids around the globe, and these moisture-loving creatures adore the dark, damp corners of your home. They can move in, weave elaborate webs, and lay eggs, without you even knowing they are there.
