Q: Do pill bugs bite?

• <div><p>No, pill bugs do not bite, and they do not transmit diseases. Pill bugs also don&rsquo;t infest wood like carpenter ants or termites do, so they don&rsquo;t pose a threat to your home either. In fact, pill bugs pose no threat to humans beyond stealing your veggies.</p></div>

Q: How many spiders in a house is normal?

• <div><p>The number of spiders considered normal in a house can vary significantly depending on geographic location, season, and the specific environment of the house. Generally, it's common for a home to have one or two spiders present at any time. If you consistently notice more than one spider in your home daily or you're dealing with potentially dangerous species, it's advisable to seek <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">professional pest control services</a> to address the issue.</p></div>

Q: What do bed bugs do to your body?

• <div><p>Bed bugs bite your body to feed on blood. When they bite, they inject an anticoagulant, which is why you may see blood stains on your sheets if you have an infestation. The bed bugs tend to bite in clusters, so the bite marks will look like itchy, red spots in zigzagging lines of three to five bites per cluster on your skin.</p><p>The bites are itchy, but for most people, they do not cause serious or long-term health complications. Itching the wound excessively could lead to an infection, and some people are allergic to bed bugs.</p></div>

Q: How do you draw bed bugs out of hiding?

• <div><p>Bed bugs are highly sensitive to heat, so a hot blast with a hairdryer can draw them out of hiding. Providing a source of warmth, such as a heating pad or hot-water bottle, can attract and lure them out. Bed bug monitors and traps with pheromones can also be effective. </p></div>

Q: How quickly can termites damage a house?

• <div><p>Depending on the size of a termite colony and how quickly it matures, it can take three to five years to see visible damage. It may take five to six years for termites to damage your home's structural integrity. Subterranean termites, which are found in all states except Alaska, are known to be particularly damaging and can cause extensive damage in as little as two years. </p></div>

"Elderly Beware! They didn't kill any of the weeds. Should have never let them continue for 5 months. They charged my mom and my daughter for the same service period and tried to charge a late fee when they had a credit card on file."

Family owned and operated full service pest control and extermination services.

"I live in an apartment and my property management company contracted with Superior for pest control. I and several other residents have been dealing with a cockroach infestation for several months now. During the last treatment visit, the technician was rude and unprofessional in his conduct towards me. When I said that not all the roaches were being killed (this was after two months of treatment), he lashed out and told me, "I'm trying to educate you and you're not listening." He also said that I should not expect all the roaches to be killed because he was just trying to keep them under control, not get rid of all of them. He said, "That's why it's called pest control." I expect exterminators to resolve a pest issue completely, not just make the situation a little better. If this had happened in a home that I owned, I would have kicked this man out immediately and found a different company."
