           How Can You Prevent Tick Bites?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Tick bites are something that no human or animal wants to experience, especially when it is a deer tick. The two most common ticks are deer ticks and dog ticks, but only deer ticks can carry Lyme disease. Ticks are attracted to body heat, which means a person who is hot and sweaty is likely to have a tick latch onto them. Ticks like tall grass, which is why there are a few things that doctors recommend people wear and put on before venturing into areas with tall grass. Here are a few ways that you can avoid the need for tick treatments for you and your family.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Use Tick Repellent:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            There are a few different tick treatments that can help prevent you and your family from getting bitten by a tick. For adults, there are tick repellents with DEET and picaridin. The same repellent can be used on kids, but there are also more natural types of tick treatments for kids and adults to use. The more natural tick treatment to prevent tick bites contains cedarwood oil, lemongrass oil, thyme oil, clove oil, geranium oil, spearmint oil, and rosemary oil.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Dress Appropriately:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When you go on a walk or hike around tall grass you should wear high socks, but for a hike through the woods, hiking pants would be a good idea. You can buy breathable hiking pants and high socks that are pretreated with tick repellent as well. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Stay on Trails:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Going off the trail while walking or hiking through the woods will dramatically increase the likelihood of you being bitten by a tick. The reason for this is that going off-trail typically means the grass will be higher than on the trail.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Do Tick Checks:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           After taking a walk near tall grass, in an area that has a high deer population, or a hike, you should do tick checks on everyone. Tick checks are important because if someone was bitten by a tick, the tick should be removed as quickly as possible to reduce the chances of contracting Lyme disease.

           Preventing Bed Bug Infestations in Raeford, NC
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Bed bugs are pests that no one wants to have to deal with. They are small, ovalish, brown insects that feed off the blood of animals and humans. When you have an infestation, you will have a lot of them. You may only see a few, but there will be more in hiding. Bed bugs can cause many issues while in your home such as itchiness, loss of sleep, allergic reactions, and staining of furniture. Here are some tips for preventing bed bug infestations:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           · Reduce Clutter: Having clutter around your property gives places for bed bugs to hide and breed. Throwing away trash and reducing clutter is a simple way to prevent bed bugs from infesting your home.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           · Frequently Wash Your Bedding: Bed bugs and their eggs love to hide in laundry and bedding. Regularly wash and dry them often to help reduce the chances of an infestation.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           · Don’t Store Items Under Your Bed: Storing things beneath your bed, especially if they are not in a protective storage container, can invite bed bugs to infest a place close to your bed and eventually your bed.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           · Vacuum Regularly: Vacuuming your rugs can help remove some bed bugs and their eggs that are hiding in carpet fibers. This is not a treatment and is only used for preventative purposes.

           Termites are small, destructive insects that can destroy your home. These pests can infiltrate your home and cause significant damage to the structural integrity of the property. No matter what your home is made of, you easily have items inside that termites feed on. Termites can cause thousands of dollars in damage and affect the overall value of a property.

           Approximately 600,000 homes are damaged by termites in the US each year. According to the USDA, one Formosan termite species is estimated to cause $1 billion in property damage a year. The average cost to repair damage from termites can vary based on the severity of how much your home is damaged. Some homeowners have paid thousands of dollars for home repairs from termite infestations.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Termites thrive in warm and humid climates, which is why North Carolina residents tend to deal with more termite damage than northern states. Most states have termites, just to varying degrees. The only state in the U.S. where termites cannot survive is Alaska.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It is important to know what the signs of infestations are as well as what termite damage looks like, as the first steps toward mitigating termite damage from getting worse over time.
          &#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Rotted wood around door/window frames
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Piles of sawdust around baseboards or in the basement of your home
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Small, brown-colored dots, which may be termite droppings
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Shed wings of termites or piles of wings on the floor and around window and door frames
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Termites love to eat wood, and they can affect a variety of areas of your home, including:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;

            Window and door frames

    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The foundation, basement, or crawlspace
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Floors
           &#xD;

           HOW DO TERMITES AFFECT HOME VALUE
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

            ﻿
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Termites can negatively affect your home value. On average, homeowners pay approximately $3,000 in repairs for termite damage. Some evidence has been shown that termites can lower a home’s value by as much as twenty percent.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If termites are found during a home inspection, the value of your home may be reduced significantly or the buyers may pull their offer.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           REASONS NOT TO DIY TERMITE CONTROL
           &#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            ﻿
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           According to the National Pest Management Association, termites alone cause more than $5 billion in property damage annually, a cost not covered by most homeowners’ insurance plans. Termites are one of the most notorious pests. Known for the damage they do to houses, termites even cause a need for homeowners to take on additional insurance.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            While you can certainly take care of some pest problems on your own, DIY termite treatment is not likely to be effective. There are many species of termites that invade homes in the United States and it is important to know how to identify and team each kind.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;a href="/"&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            will know which species of termites are present in your state or area, and how to identify signs of termites and termite activity when inspecting your home. As a result, a termite professional will know which treatment is most effective to use to help get rid of termites.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           WHAT ARE TERMITES
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           No matter what your home is made of, you easily have items inside that termites feed on. It is important to know as much as possible about these pests so you can spot an infestation as quickly as possible.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Termites are small, destructive insects that are serious pests in homes. If termites infest your home, they can cause severe damage to the structure. Termites like to feed on any dead plant matter, including soil, leaves, and logs. They also eat products that contain cellulose, which is naturally found in wood and other plant matter. Termites seek out the cellulose in paper, insulation, and even swimming pool liners.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           WHAT DO TERMITES LOOK LIKE
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Termites are pale and small insects that resemble ants. Winged termites are very commonly mistaken for flying ants; however, there are some critical differences between the two insects.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The most noticeable physical differences between termites and ants are that termites have the following:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            A uniform body with a straight waist, rather than the cinched waist of an ant
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Straight, beaded antennae as opposed to ants’ elbowed antennae
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Wings that are equal in size, which differ from the ant’s larger forewings
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Ants have a three-segmented body and bent antennae, while termites have a four-segmented body and straight antennae.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Flying ants have noticeably smaller rear wings, with their forward wings also considerably smaller than a termite’s.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Termites discard their wings after their mating cycle. Ants do not discard their wings, so any wings that you find in or around your home are a strong indicator of termites.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           IS DIY POSSIBLE
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you see termites or signs of termites in your home, it may be tempting to try to take care of them yourself. However, termite treatment is really not a DIY job.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It is known that even if you eliminate the termites you can see, there are more than likely others continuing to damage your home’s structure. Additionally, if you do it yourself, there is no one backing up the job except yourself as insurance.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Often an issue with termites is not discovered for weeks, months, or even years. This means that there is much more damage to your home before you start to notice and a professional needs to step in.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

           Here are a few methods people claim are DIY solutions for termites that are NOT true:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;

            Vinegar
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you are considering DIY treatments, you may think that means it brings cost savings. However, when it comes to termite infestation, just because you may not see termites anymore does not mean they are gone. An infestation of termites is usually much more complex than it may seem. When it is all said and done,

           Termite baits serve as an attractive food source that termites will carry back to the nest. The essential part of any termite extermination is killing the queen to eradicate the entire termite colony. Eco Advantage exterminators can help you choose a well-rounded treatment approach that will tackle your termite problem in several efficient ways.

           IDENTIFYING PESTS
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Ants/Fire Ants: Ants commonly build their homes in covered areas outdoors such as woodpiles and trees. When they find your home, it is because they are looking for food sources or shelter. Fire ants are more aggressive and will bite or sting those that disturb them or their home. These bites can cause itching, swelling, or allergic reactions which may require medical attention.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Ticks: These bugs will attach themselves to any person or pet who has spent time outdoors, especially in areas in the woods. It is very important to wear a good bug repellant, long sleeves, and pants, and check yourself and your kids after spending time in wildlife.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Roaches: Roaches are probably the most common insect thought of when you hear the word pest. They like to hide in warm, dark, and damp places and go out to explore at night. If you notice small brown or black spots in dark corners of your cabinets similar to spilled pepper or coffee grinds, you may have roaches in your home. It is imperative that you clean up messes and fix any leaks to help prevent them from moving into your kitchen.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Termites: Termites are most known for their insatiable appetite; they will keep eating until they are terminated. It’s important to catch them early on to avoid as much damage as possible. Termites also love water – so it is important to keep your air conditioning units clean and dry. If you find wood that is hollow, damaged, or puckering, get it checked out to make sure there are no termites.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Mice and other rodents: Mice and rats breed year-round and can carry many variants of diseases. They chew through food products and packaging and leave droppings. It is important to clean up droppings as soon as possible so that no one becomes sick. It is also important to make sure all food is stored in airtight containers.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

It is important to be educated about ticks and what you can do to help prevent ticks from literally getting under your skin.

           WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TICKS IN NORTH CAROLINA
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In Fayetteville and Hope Mills, there are three types of ticks that are common home and lawn invaders: the dog tick, the Lone Star tick, and the deer tick.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Tick bites can usually be identified by finding the tick offender in the center of a red bump, holding on for dear life. It is incredibly difficult to remove an entire latched-on tick from the body, especially when the head has been embedded for some time. If no tick is present, bites can often be identified through their resulting effects. A circular red ‘bull’s eye’ may begin to form around the circumference of the bite, spreading outwards.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           DANGERS OF TICK BITES
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Tick bites are important to pay attention to as their bites can be accompanied by a host of severe illnesses and diseases. If you think or know that you have been bitten by a tick and are experiencing unusual symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Some of the worst of these tick-borne dangers include:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             Lyme’s Disease – may cause severe damage to your nervous system. This forces the body to enter a constant stage of exhaustion while fighting off bacteria that may attack your eyes and heart, liver and kidneys, and joints.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             The Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever – bacterial infection that can cause lifelong chronic illness and pain.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             Powassan – may cause seizures in young victims, and even death.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Ticks generally are only capable of spreading diseases to the host after being attached for twenty-four hours or longer. However, if a bite is suspected in any way, it is recommended to visit your doctor immediately.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Pets are also vulnerable to these infections as well, which is why prevention medications are important as well as it is vital to do mitigating tick procedures in the Fayetteville and Hope Mills areas.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           WHERE ARE TICKS MOST OFTEN FOUND
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Ticks are most often found around areas of the lawn and woods that have been allowed to grow and run wild.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Some of the most common spaces homeowners may encounter a tick are the lawn, woods, and heavy shrubbery.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Some methods of mitigating risk of ticks:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             Removing harborage spots
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             Wearing long pants, shirts, and socks
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             Getting regular pest control from a company you trust
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Ticks can be out during any season, if the temperature is right. Ticks may become active even during winter, as long as the temperatures are above 40 degrees – which makes North Carolina the perfect climate.
          &#xD;

           If your home has a crawlspace, there is a high likelihood that moisture has found its way in. While a small amount of condensation may not be considered to be a significant issue, moisture in a crawlspace can cause major problems for a home. In addition to causing damage to wooden structures, it can also cause mold and mildew, which can lead to health problems. Moisture can also cause a home to be less efficient and lead to pest infestation, leading to health and damage issues.

           Conducive conditions are conditions that could increase the chances of your home becoming infested with termites. A moist crawl space with damp wood is a natural habitat for termites. Termites devour wood and soft, wet wood makes a perfect meal. Placing a barrier in a moist crawl space along with proper soil treatment will inhibit the infestation of subterranean termites. Pricing varies by structure and size.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The German cockroach — smaller, with a tan or light-brown shell concealing vestigial wings. It has two black stripes behind its head.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Oriental cockroach — also known as the water bug due to its preference for areas of high moisture, is on the larger side with a black shell.

           The winter presents many challenges to property owners in the Fayetteville, NC area. One that many don’t often think about is moisture and pests. Moisture in your home is like sending an invitation to pests to enter your home. In the winter, it is even more inviting to pests with the moisture from snow and cold temperatures outside. They are looking for a warmer place that has moisture. Typically, homes are a great place for them in the winter when they are not properly protected.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Thankfully, moisture barriers exist. Moisture barriers work by encouraging proper air circulation and keeping your home dry.

           When the fall months roll around and the temperature starts to drop, it’s time to turn on your heater, grab a blanket, and cozy up inside. Although, you might not be the only one planning on cozying up in your home. Pests and bugs might begin to find their way into your warm home, too. This is why it’s very important to take precautions, so your home does not become a safe haven for them in the fall and winter months.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Seal Your Home
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As the temperature steadily gets cooler and cooler, pests will find it more difficult to find food, water, and shelter outside. This is why they can make a move to invade your space to search for resources. Sealing your home will stop that! Make sure that you seal off cracks around windows and doors and also look for any cracks in your walls or roof.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Break Bad Habits
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           There are a few things you could be doing that are attracting pests to your property. This includes keeping firewood next to your home that attracts wood-boring pests. Store firewood at least three feet from your home! If you keep recycling bins in your home or garage and there are remnants of soda and other food, this can attract ants. Make sure that you always completely clean out your recyclable items.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Inspect Your Crawlspaces and Basement
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           You should look for nests of shredded material which could indicate rodents, ants, or cockroaches. Also, make sure that you don’t have piles of paper or fabric sitting around in your basement. This could be an attractive home to pests!

           This Is Not a Drill: How to Identify &amp;amp; Deal with Termites
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Since termites cause billions of dollars of home damage each year, every homeowner should know how to identify and deal with termites in their area. In Fayetteville, NC and the surrounding areas, the Eastern subterranean termite is most prevalent type of termite.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Like all termites, the Eastern subterranean termite eats through wood, creating tunnels and destroying its surroundings. This type of termite looks different depending on what role it plays in the termite colony. Many of them are white, but others are brown or black in color.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           No matter what type of termite you’re dealing with, you should bring in a professional if you see hollowed wood, buckling or sagging wood, or piles of termite wings. These insects are quick at what they do, so taking immediate action is essential for mitigating the damage to your home.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Once you call on the team at Economy Pest Control Services, we can perform a termite inspection to see if termites are the cause of the home damage. We’ll search your home from top to bottom, looking for the telltale signs of termites and the damage they leave behind.
