Centipedes and termites are some of the most destructive pests that can infest your home. If you want to have a fair chance at dealing with these pests, you will need to take time and learn everything there is to learn about the pests. Here are some of the things you may not know about the Centipedes Termite.
Differentiating between millipedes and centipedes
Many people cannot tell the difference between centipedes and millipedes. This is probably because both have multiple body segments and many legs. But, other than that, these two are very different. While millipedes are generally harmless and feed on dead rotting matter, centipedes can be hostile and thus need to be controlled. The easiest way to control centipedes is by eliminating their hiding places in the home.
Termites
Many people that haven’t dealt with termite infestations normally underestimate them. However, if you have noticed any of the following signs of termite infestation, you should get an exterminator as soon as you can.
- Hollowed wood. This can be any wood ranging from left-over building materials, furniture, paneling, floor boards and everything else.
- Mud tunnels around the house. Termites have the habit of making mud tunnels on the walls and floors. Call in an exterminator as soon as you spot them.
- Piles of wings of swarms of the insects. Termites go through four stages before they mature. They normally shed wings before they reach the adult stage. If you find piles of winds at certain points in your home, you have to call for help.
- Blistered paint and minimal water damage on the walls.
What happens when you ignore the pests?
Not many people will ignore termites and centipedes completely. What people do is attempt the DIY pest control measures. What they do not understand is that termites live in colonies, and exterminating a few will not completely fix the problem. Only an expert will know the right way to deal with a pest problem.
