Q: What diseases do roof rats carry?

• <div><p>Roof rats can carry a variety of pathogens and parasites, including salmonellosis (food contamination), leptospirosis, trichinosis, rat-bite fever, murine typhus, plague, and toxoplasmosis. Diseases can be spread via urine, droppings, or saliva. To prevent transmission, it&rsquo;s essential to promptly address a roof rat infestation and avoid direct contact with the animals where possible.</p></div>

Q: What bug looks like a tick but isn't?

• <div><p>Several bugs can look like ticks but aren&rsquo;t, including beetles, bed bugs, spider beetles, and weevils. Aside from different types of beetles, the most common confusion is between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ticks-vs-bed-bugs.htm">ticks versus bed bugs</a>. In any case, since a tick is an eight-legged arachnid, you can quickly differentiate by the number of legs, as all insects have six legs. </p></div>

Q: Do water bugs bite?

• <div><p>While water bugs are considered generally harmless to humans, they can bite humans if threatened. Cockroaches are often incorrectly mistaken for water bugs. In this case, cockroaches can bite but are unlikely to bite humans. </p><p>Water bug bites can be very painful and cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, and allergic reaction. Bites will usually heal on their own. However, if you experience severe symptoms or an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately. </p></div>

Q: How long does professional pest control take to work?

• <div><p>Professional pest control works faster than any DIY method, so it&rsquo;s the way to go if you want your pest problem gone ASAP. A basic treatment can take place in under six hours, while larger fumigations may take up to a week. You should start noticing a significant reduction in pests within a couple of days, with full results in about a week on average.</p></div>

Q: What time of year are termites most active and do the most damage?

• <div><p>Termites are most active and cause the most damage in the spring and summer, when warm temperatures and increased moisture accelerate their activity. This is also when swarming typically occurs, allowing colonies to expand. However, termites remain active year-round, especially in warmer climates or heated homes. An established colony can continue to damage wood 365 days a year, even during cold weather.</p></div>

"I am very happy to give King Pest Solutions a 5 Star review. Their representative, Eric, arrived on time and gave me an overview of what he was going to do to protect our house from termites. Together we walked around the perimeter of my house and he showed me the tools he was going to use and answered all my questions before getting started. The process took about 2 1/2 hours to complete and my home is now protected. Eric was efficient and knowledgeable about the process and, once again, made sure all my questions were answered before leaving. I will certainly continue to work with King Pest Solutions in the future."
