Even though spring 2017 arrived just a few weeks ago on the calendar, it may seem as though it arrived a lot longer ago. The mild winter not only helped snow banks to melt faster, but it also allowed pests to awaken earlier or to remain active throughout the winter months. This means that you may already be struggling with pests in your home. Ants, for example, have already begun their annual population drive which means that they are in search of new food sources to feed their young. For some, their search will inevitably lead ants to your kitchen and your pantry.

You may be tempted to continuously squish ants as you see them or attempt to control them with something you purchase at the box store, but this does not completely eliminate them. The ones that you see in your kitchen may be affected by this treatment, but the thousands more that are hiding out in your walls or that are following the pheromone trail laid down by those that traveled from their nest outside to your home before will generally remain unaffected. This is where the Premium Care residential pest protection program comes in, but is it right for you?

There are some things to consider when deciding if a year-round pest prevention plan is right for you. The first thing to realize is that if ants have found a way into your home, then it is likely that other pests that may be more harmful have as well. The second thing to understand is that pest pressures never take time off. No matter what season it is, there are pests that are waiting to find a way into your home so that they can find easy sources of food and water and safe shelter. Also, it is important to understand that pests can be harmful. Pests like ants contaminate food, pests like termites damage structural wood, and pests like mice can carry and transmit serious illnesses. The most important question for you to answer when deciding if our year-round Premium Care program is right for you is, “Do I want to wait and deal with the illnesses or costly repairs associated with a pest infestation, or do I want to be proactive and keep pests from my home to begin with?”
