Although bed bug populations declined significantly during the mid-20th century, the U.S. is one of many countries currently seeing a disturbing increase.

While the exact cause is unknown, experts have narrowed it down these most likely suspects:

During the coldest winter months we can’t wait for warmer weather. But when it arrives our attention inevitably shifts to the pests that couldn’t wait to come out of hibernation either.

Native Arkansans already know termites find a cozy environment for themselves here, potentially creating major problems for property owners.

Subterranean termites, specifically the Eastern subterranean termite, is the country’s most common species. Causing billions in property damage each year, an estimated one in five homes have or will fall victim to a devastating infestation in high-risk areas like Arkansas. They are abundant here and have been deemed our most destructive species.

‘Tis the season for fleas, especially if you have dogs and cats in your home. But even if you don’t, these little bloodsuckers will hitchhike their way in on you or any other warm-blooded animal, leaving no one immune to a potential infestation.

While fleas live on their hosts, they can leave eggs on both the host and in bedding. The eggs that are left on the host can fall off and accumulate just about anywhere – beds, clothes, carpets, cars, and anywhere else the host (meaning you or your pet) goes.

When defending your home or business from ants, the best defense is a good offense.

Arkansas contains at least 132 ant species. Common local species include Carpenter, Formica, and Red Pavement ants. Those most likely to cause you problems are odorous house ants and fire ants.

Odorous house ants are small black or brown insects that emit an offensive smell when they feel threatened or are crushed. Fire ants are reddish brown and are well-known for being aggressive.
