Moving into a new home is exciting. When you are moving or settling into your new abode, it’s essential to consider the property’s pest control needs. The last thing that you want to deal with is an infestation of any kind. Here’s why you may need a home exterminator to assess the home.

Why Would a New Home Need an Exterminator?

1. Unusual Noises

The pitter-patter of scampering feet in the walls or attic is usually a sign of a potential pest problem. It could be anything from mice to rats. If left untreated, these animals could find their way into the home’s rooms or even die where they are. That could cause a harsh odor in different areas of the house.

2. Your Efforts Don’t Work

Home exterminators use several methods to eradicate everything from spiders to bed bugs to termites. Attempting to treat them on your own with over-the-counter chemical treatments is not always successful. It can be costly to invest in traps and other devices designed to eradicate unwanted critters. You can count on a professional to handle the problem swiftly so that you can enjoy your new home.

3. Rotting Wood

A home inspection can reveal important details about the property that might not be visible upon first glance. Key among these is wood damage in lesser-visited parts of the house, like the attic or deck. Rotting or otherwise degraded wood can be a sign of a termite or ant infestation. Instead of dealing with a possible outbreak, affecting other areas of the home and causing potential damage to the property’s structure, have a home exterminator assess the severity of the problem and apply the appropriate treatment.
