How To Defend Your Home Against Common Pest Intruders
Roaches continually lay eggs. Once a roach is pregnant, it's pregnant for life.
Roaches can live without food for up to six weeks.
Roaches are known to carry E. coli and Salmonella.
Mosquitoes require water to breed. Mosquito larvae can develop quickly in bird baths, roof gutters, old tires and anything else that will hold water.
Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide you exhale, body odor, temperature, and even movement from up to 25 feet away.
Some queen ants can live for many years and have millions of babies.
Ants leave a pheromone trail so that they know where they've been.
One termite colony can number up to the millions.
Worker termites forage for food 24 hours a day, and travel up to 350 feet from the colony.
The average cost of termite treatment and damage repair is more than $8,000.
