If you want to get rid of bugs in your basement, you can count on pest control services in Niagara. Getting rid of them permanently will require a bit more work and effort, here's what you need to know about those pesky bugs in your basement.

Moisture and Mold is Your Biggest Problem

Bugs that inhabit basements can cause some damage, but not as much as the excess moisture. Pest control services in Niagara will work with a variety of basement bugs species that become drawn by the wet environments, where they nest and multiply to excess. Some of these bugs are:

• Centipedes • Sowbugs • Earwigs • Mold mites • Silverfish

These bugs live and hide in dark, wet spaces. This makes basements ideal hiding places, since they're both damp and often stacked with boxes of spare tools, old furniture and items are that the homeowner is currently not using. Some of the species are carnivores, like centipedes. They feed on smaller bugs and could possibly bite humans. This can happen if you grab an item, like a box or a tool with a bug on it. In this situation, the bug will bite in self-defense. These bites aren't particularly dangerous, but are painful and can take a couple of weeks to heal. To avoid such outcomes, you should hire pest control contractors to completely take care of the problem.
