How Moisture Control Can Stop Pest Problems Before They Happen

Humans, in general, are not fond of extreme humidity. Pests, on the other hand, thrive where humidity and moisture exist. If you have even the slightest moisture problem in or around your home, you may be attracting a variety of pests like termites, mosquitoes, and rodents. Most pests have three basic needs: moisture, food, and shelter. Any form of moisture will cause them to make themselves right at home.

These pests are not only a nuisance. If you experience a termite infestation, they will cause costly damage to the wood in your home. When it comes to mosquitoes, they are not only annoying, but their bites cause itchy, raised bumps and, in some cases, can cause serious illness. Rodents, however, are a triple threat, as they are a nuisance, can cause serious damage, and they pose health risks.

It is important for Anderson homeowners to be aware of moisture problems in their homes, which may include plumbing and drainage, which could increase the likelihood of the presence of these pests.

Moisture is caused by a wide range of problems. Small leaks and clogged gutters can lead to big issues like rot, fungus, illness, odors, pests, and structural damage. Homeowners are often unaware that crawl spaces are prone to moisture build-up, so be sure to check those areas.

Moisture prevention is key to avoiding many major problems involving damage and pests. In Upstate South Carolina and northern Georgia, Spencer Pest Services can help!
