Keeping Creatures Out Of My Home

About Me

When I lived at home with my parents, my idea of pest control was picking up a can of fly spray during the summer. So, when I moved into my first home, it was quite an eye-opener when it came to pests. I had no idea about termites, ants, cockroaches and other creatures that like to invade the house at various times of the year. So, I decided it would be a great idea to start a blog about pest control. I want to other first-time homeowners to know the signs that pest control is needed, and also learn how to reduce the chance of pests taking over your dwelling. The more you know, the less chance pests can do permanent damage.
