Fish Hawk

Are you seeing ants in your home and wondering where they are coming from? We are here to help and walk you through some possibilities.

An ant infestation in your home typically starts from the outside. So, you need not worry about looking for a nest inside.

Ants in the home can enter through the tiniest cracks. They will find their way through walls, foundations, doors, and windows. Being so small, they can squeeze through the smallest openings if food and water are available. Be sure to seal cracks and crevices, especially around doors and windows, as part of your ants in home treatment strategy.

Are there trees touching your home? An ant invasion in your home may begin when ants use trees as natural bridges. Keeping branches pruned away from your house can help prevent their entry.

Follow the trail. Sometimes, to see where the ants in your home are coming from, you can simply follow their movement. However, walls and furniture can make this difficult.

Removal Doesn’t Work. Simply eliminating visible ants in your home won't stop the problem. You need to find the source and apply a treatment that disrupts their pheromone trail.

The best way to get rid of ants in your home is with professional help. A pest control expert can identify the types of ants in your home, determine their entry points, and apply effective treatments. If you’re struggling with ants in your home and need a lasting solution, contact us today!

Most likely, the kind of roach you saw scuttering past you on the floor is an American Roach, otherwise known as a Palmetto bug. However, there are other types of roaches that may be at your home, including:

• American Roach – As mentioned, the American Roach, otherwise known as the Palmetto bug, is the most common roach found in Fish Hawk homes. They are glossy brown and roughly 1.4-1.6 inches long. Luckily, they prefer to live outside in shrubs, bushes, and mulch beds (they actually love palmetto shrubs). However, they will enter a home in search of food and water. These big roaches in the house are known for being highly active at night, and if you’ve found a roach in your house, it’s likely an American roach. Understanding how roaches get in the house can help you keep them out in the future.

• German Roach – The German Roach is the most unpopular roach there is. They only live inside and are often introduced into the home through boxes and bags. They multiply incredibly quickly and live in the bathroom or kitchen due to the access to water. An American roach infestation can quickly turn into a German roach infestation if left untreated, as they both thrive in warm, moist environments. If you've noticed small roaches in your kitchen or bathroom, you may have a German roach infestation. For a quick solution, consider using a German roach killer.

Other common roaches in the house in Fish Hawk are Brown Banded Roach, Smokey Brown Roaches, Australian Cockroach, Florida Woods Cockroaches, Asian Cockroaches, and Oriental Cockroaches. These roaches are less common than American roaches and German roaches in Fish Hawk but still pose a potential problem.

Have you pulled back a log in your Fish Hawk yard to see hundreds of bugs and then become overwhelmed with the fear that it may be termites? Chances are you may be right, but you could also be mistaken for ants. Here are some signs of termites to look out for, especially when concerned about a subterranean termite infestation.

•  Subterranean termites build very distinctive mud tubes on posts and pillars. They do this to reach more wood sources and to protect their colony while doing so. If you notice these mud tubes around your home, it could be a sign of a subterranean termite infestation.

• Subterranean termites are creamy white to dark brown/black in color. They have 6 legs and are roughly 1/8 inch long. They have antennae and tend to look narrow and oval in shape. There are different types of subterranean termites, and we can help identify what you have. Just send us an email at letsgo@mygreenhousepro.com, and we will have one of our Certified Operators review and identify the insect.

•  Another sign of termites is wood that is decayed and hollow. If you open it up, you can often see the termites inside. Termite droppings can also be seen near a nest and look like small piles of sawdust.
