4 Signs You Need to Call a Pest Exterminator Immediately

February 13, 2023

Professional pest exterminators are your biggest ally in keeping your home pest-free. According to Consumer Affairs, the number-one concern of people in the United States concerning pests is ants. One of the key mistakes people make when calling pest exterminators is waiting too long to make the call. Here are four signs you need to call in these professionals as soon as possible.

1. Piles of Mud-Shaped Tubes Around Your Home

If you notice piles of mud around your home's foundation, call a professional exterminator ASAP. Those mud tubes are indicative of termites. If you notice that an insect is building a home around your foundation, it's time to get professional help because the problem can get out of hand quickly.

2. Mysterious Bug Bites

Unfortunately, bed bug infestation is on the rise. Bed bugs have nothing to do with how clean your home is. They're hitchhikers, meaning you can take them home from various places. They multiply very quickly and are voracious eaters, as their main meal of choice is human blood. Call professional pest exterminators quickly if you notice that family members are waking up with bite marks on exposed skin because you may have bed bugs!

3. Roaches

If you see a single cockroach scampering away when you turn on the light, the bad news is they don't live alone. For every single roach you see, there are hundreds of roaches hiding somewhere in your home. Call an exterminator to get the problem under control.

4. Droppings

If you see rodent droppings, you should immediately call a pest control expert. Rodents aren't only a danger to your home but also a health risk to your family. Call an exterminator if you notice gnawed wires or droppings or if you experience a sighting.


Getting your pest problem under control starts with reaching out to a pest control expert. Timing is everything when it comes to pest control. While it's never too late to control your pest problem, it's always best to give the problem attention ASAP. Call Colwell Termite & Pest Control today to get the pest control you need!
