Bugs belong outside; in fact, it’s healthy to have bugs in nature, as they help to keep the ecosystem balanced. Take earthworms, for example. While certainly creepy crawly, these little buggers belong outside, as they help make soil healthy. But when it comes to bringing them indoors…most people would just rather that not happen. Namely, the disgust and horror incited by bugs such as cockroaches, ants, and centipedes is almost universal. But perhaps this disgust shouldn’t be chalked up to mere grossness. Considering that termites and similar pests can cause an estimated $30 billion of damage on homes across the country in a given year, people have a lot to be upset about. Bed bugs, another common household problem, can cause costly damage in a persons life. And since they lay around one to five eggs a day, these kinds of pests can be fairly difficult to get rid of.
But how can you protect yourself and your home from these disgusting, damaging, creepy crawlies if they’re sometimes too small to detect in the first place? By knowing the warning signs, you can actively take a stand and prevent these bugs from taking over your home.
When There’s Excess Moisture
Pests like cockroaches and termites love dark and wet places. In order to ensure that there are no hidden pests, get a yearly inspection from a pest control company.

The Pests Are Around During the Day
When bugs have enough gall to walk around during the daytime, it means that you have a serious infestation problem. Luckily, it also means bad news for them, because you are then able to utilize pest control measures. If that’s the case, you should probably call your local pest control contractor and look into having your entire building fumigated.

Home Remedies Don’t Do the Trick
Sure, you’ve sprinkled the cinnamon around your cabinets to keep the ants at bay but your sugar bag is still filled to the brim with ants. Luckily, it’s still possible to employ natural pest control methods using an environmentally friendly exterminator.

Now that you know the signs, don’t live in fear! Just be diligent and remember that there’s nothing that human will can’t outsmart. Good references.
