Huntingdon Valley,

Exterminators

Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, is a beautiful, picturesque place to live, only 25 miles outside Philadelphia. The area encompasses Lower Moreland Township, Upper Moreland Township, and Abington Township, as well as the village of Huntingdon Valley itself. Although it’s within easy commuter distance of Philadephia, the pace of life remains slow. There are plenty of historical sites to see, including the Lady Washington Inn, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. If you’re into history, you can also visit the Glencairn Museum, which hosts an annual medieval festival, or the Cairnwood Estate, a stunning relic of the Gilded Age which offers tours of the house and gardens and also functions as a wedding venue.

Life is lovely in this gorgeous slice of rural America, but not without its problems. Pests are always ready to invade your home or business, causing damage and posing health hazards.

Pest Problems in Huntingdon Valley, PA

In a rural location like Huntingdon Valley, pest control is always an issue, with a wide variety of pesky creatures waiting to invade your home or business. Fortunately, professional pest controllers like Viking Pest Control can help you with problems from:

Ants

There are currently over 700 recognized species of ants around the world. Of these, three are found to be causing particularly severe problems in the Huntingdon Valley area — pavement ants, carpenter ants, and odorous house ants. Carpenter ants, in particular, can cause damage to the structure of your home or residential property should they nest in the walls, basement, or roof.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are notoriously hard to eliminate and can disrupt your sleep with their biting. They breed incredibly quickly and can be resistant to shop-bought insecticides, so it’s best to employ an exterminator if you suspect you have an infestation.

Mice and Rats

Mice and Rats can be found almost everywhere on the planet. They breed quickly, cause damage, and can spread disease, so you really don’t want them in your home or business. Simple traps can eliminate a minor infestation, but it’s best to call the professionals to ensure they’re all gone.

Termites

Of the many types of termites, subterranean termites are the biggest problem in Huntingdon Valley. They can enter your property through any ground-level wood, and once they’re in, they will nest in any wooden structure they encounter. If left unchecked, a termite nest can cause significant damage.

Reasons To Choose a Professional Pest Control Company

If you see a few ants or a rat or two, it’s tempting to sort out the problem yourself with some store-bought chemicals or traps. Sometimes, this might even get rid of the problem. However, professional pest control experts have access to methods most homeowners don’t. Here are a few more reasons to employ exterminators like Viking Pest Control:

• Access to more potent methods and the expertise to use them safely.
• Safety equipment to prevent problems from coming into contact with poisonous pests or those carrying diseases.
• Detailed knowledge of each pest based on years of experience
• Reputable pest controllers are fully insured

Get Ahead of Pest Problems

As the well-known saying goes, prevention is better than cure. If pests don’t get into your property in the first place, you can avoid a great deal of hassle and expense. Simple prevention methods include:

• Keep perishable foods well-sealed and stored safely
• Regular cleaning gets rid of food scraps that might attract pests
• Don’t leave garbage lying around in plastic bags — store trash in secure bins instead
• Keep your yard tidy so there are no places for larger pests like rodents and raccoons to hide
