Q: What are the differences between termites and carpenter ants?

• <div><p>Both insects can damage wood, but there are key <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpenter-ants-vs-termites.htm">differences between termites and carpenter ants</a> that tell them apart. Carpenter ants tunnel through moist wood, leaving behind smooth tunnels and sawdust-like piles, as they don't eat the wood but rather carve it for nesting. In contrast, termites actually consume wood, creating irregular galleries filled with mud and dirt, and leaving behind mud tubes as their signature. In terms of appearance, carpenter ants have segmented bodies with heart-shaped heads and larger front wings, while termites have more oval bodies with straight antennae and equal-sized wings. </p></div>

Q: What are the early warning signs of a bed bug infestation?

• <div><p>One of the first signs of bed bugs are reddish stains on your sheets. These stains get left behind when bed bugs get crushed. Some other signs to look out for are small dark dots, small red bites, and pale molted skins.</p></div>

Q: What is the main cause of roaches?

• <div><p>Roaches entering your home or infesting an area are usually the result of poor sanitation. Cockroaches feed off of crumbs, spills, food scraps, and other organic matter, so they&rsquo;re more likely to stick around and come back for more if your space isn&rsquo;t cleaned up regularly. Maintain your home and prevent roaches by cleaning the kitchen area daily, sealing food tightly, removing open water sources, and eliminating clutter.</p></div>
