Termites
Termites are insects that feed on cellulose from trees, wooden structures, and other materials. Each species has unique feeding, breeding, and nesting habits. What they do have in common is that they can cause unmatched structural damage inside homes and other structures.
Subterranean termites have high moisture needs and prefer to feed on water-damaged or decaying wood. These termites live together in large colonies, nest underground, and move from their nest to food source through the soil or the mud tubes they create. Drywood termites have low moisture needs, live together in smaller numbers, and prefer to invade and feed on dry or sound wood. They actually live within the wood they use as a food source.
Reducing excess moisture in or around your home is the best way to make your property less attractive to termites and prevent problems with these wood-destroying pests. Make sure your gutters are in good working order to ensure water flows away from your home's perimeter. Repair cracks in your home's exterior and replace damaged roof shingles. It is also crucial to fix dripping pipes and ensure proper ventilation. For more information about termite control in Marshalltown, Iowa, reach out today.

Stinging Insects
Stinging insects are an intricate part of nature; without them, our world would be very different. We should protect stinging insects because they are valuable pollinators, effective predators, and provide a food source for other animals. Yet, as helpful as stinging insects like bees, wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets are to us; they pose a threat to you, your kids, and your pets when they nest in our yards.
These helpful insects are dangerous because the stings they deliver are painful and filled with venom. Those allergic to a stinging insect's venom can experience a localized and relatively mild reaction or a whole-body reaction that can affect a person's ability to breathe. Stinging insects are regular visitors because our yards provide sheltered places to nest, food sources, and reliable water sources.
Here are a few ways you can make your property less attractive to stinging insects and prevent problems with these unwanted visitors.
- Remove standing water that provides a water source.
- Cut back trees and shrubs that provide nesting sites for stinging insects near your home's exterior.
- Remove downed trees, brush piles, and other debris from your yard that could act as a nesting site.
- Keep caps on chimneys, mesh covers on vents, and repair damaged window screens to keep stinging insects out of your house.

Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are a type of fly. They have small oval bodies, six long, thin legs, and, like other types of flies, mosquitoes only have one pair of wings. Female mosquitoes require blood meals to produce viable eggs. They use their proboscis, an elongated, piercing, sucking mouthpart, to feed on their warm-blooded hosts. Females lay their eggs on top of standing water, and warm temperatures and rainy weather cause mosquito populations to explode.
Despite their tiny size, mosquitoes are one of the world's most deadly insects. They are dangerous to people and animals because of their ability to spread diseases. While not every mosquito carries a disease, many do, so it is crucial to avoid contact with them as much as possible. They also spread parasites like heartworms which can be deadly to pets that are not on a preventative. Reducing mosquito populations on your property is the best way to minimize contact with these pests.
Here are a few ways you can make your property less attractive to mosquitoes and prevent problems with these biting pests.
- Remove as much standing water from your property as possible.
- Store containers that can collect rainwater upside down when they aren't in use, such as wading pools, buckets, and flowerpots.
- Take away mosquito resting spots by keeping the grass cut short and pruning shrubbery and trees.
- Plant lavender, mint, and marigolds in gardens which mosquitoes find unpleasant.
