The tell tale signs that you have fleas in your house is when your family pets are scratching continually. When the pet owner then gets an itch that never seems to go away, and small red bumps appear on the skin, then you know you have a flea problem. The bites will mainly be focused around your ankles as fleas live in the carpet. However if you have children who play on the floor then they can be found anywhere on the body. Ticks don't fly, jump or blow around with the wind. They are small, very patient and amazing in their approach to locating their host/prey. Their purpose in life like so many species is to propagate their species. They don't feed often, but when they do, they can acquire disease agents form one host and pass it to another host at a later feeding. TROPICAL HOME & GARDEN PEST CONTROL will protect your home & garden from fleas & ticks.
Termites are sometimes called "white ants" because of their slight resemblance to ants and because they live in colonies like ants do. While it is, of course, very important to choose a house that appeals to you aesthetically and can become a long term home for your family, it's also vital to make sure that the house you want to purchase is structurally sound and free from active termite infestation or damage. Termites are a menace, and if left unchecked they can do a lot of damage to your home before you even realize that you have an infestation.

Prevent them from coming before it's too late Once you realize that you have termites there are a number of ways that you can get rid of them, but an ideal solution would be to just avoid getting termites in the first place. If it's too late and you already have termite infestation, take action immediately by calling in a professional termite service such as Tropical Home & Garden Pest Control.
The presence of ants in nature ensures the health of the natural environment. In homes and other buildings, however, ants are not so welcome. The same reasons ants are successful in nature makes them very well suited to sharing human living quarters.
