Pests can infest a home, causing expensive damage and posing health risks, but fortunately, they often give warning signs before that happens.

For almost 60 years, Copter Pest Control has been helping the residents of Enterprise, AL, keep unwelcome pests out of their homes and businesses through a variety of pest control services.

The exterminators have seen it all, and they recommend contacting a pest control company as soon as you notice these signs:

• You See Pests Inside Or Outside Your Home: Some pests are great at hiding while others, such as roaches, ants, and mice, will begin to make appearances when they’ve migrated into your house. Dead bugs can indicate that living ones are close by. Wasps and bees can also set up nests near doors and windows.
• There’s Rotten Wood Around Your Home: Dead trees and rotting wood are a breeding ground for certain pests, including carpenter ants and termites. Look for small holes in the wood near tiny piles of shavings. That’s a sure sign these insects have made a nest there.
• You Find Droppings: All pests leave behind droppings that vary in size depending on the type of pest. These droppings are usually small, dark, and pellet-like, and they can pose health risks for humans.
• You Hear Unexplained Sounds: Whether it’s the scratching or the pitter-pattering of tiny feet, noises coming from behind your walls or overhead can indicate nuisance animals. Rats and squirrels are the most common culprits.
• You Find Mattress Markings: Peel back your sheets and take a close look at your mattress. In particular, look in between the crevices and seams for brownish-red spots or tiny bugs. If you find any evidence of smeared blood, you could have bed bugs.
