Let’s talk mice. In general, we all know that these small critters should be kept out of our homes at all costs. They spread disease, contaminate food, destroy personal property, and damage structural elements that can lead to fires and water damage. But do you really know how to keep them out of your home? If you are unsure, we have the answers! The professionals at Witt Pest Management want to offer you three easy, affordable ways that you can help to prevent mice from being attracted to your property and from finding their way inside of your home.

• Declutter your home and property. Remove piles of organic debris and construction materials from your yard. Inside, remove clutter from the attic, basement, and/or closets. Mice love to hide and nest inside of clutter.
• Inspect the exterior of your home. Sealing any cracks that are found big or small, in the foundation or exterior walls of your home.
• Keep food in plastic or glass air-tight containers or inside of the refrigerator. Pick-up any uneaten pet food in-between feedings and store dry pet food in containers with lids.

If mice ever become a problem inside of your home, eliminate them quickly with our rodent removal services here at Witt Pest Management. Our professionals can quickly get rid of mice from your home and keep them from returning year-round.

Bed bugs are parasitic pests that feed on the blood of humans at night by getting into their beds and other furniture. However, it can be difficult to identify the source of the infestation due to the bed bug's small size and ability to access almost anywhere in the home. 

They’re also fast breeders, so the earlier you can identify an infestation in your Fox Chapel home, the faster you can take steps to stop them. Here are some of the warning signs you should be aware of so that you can identify a bed bug infestation early and stop it before it grows out of control:

• Brown or red spots or streaks appearing on your bedding, furniture, or walls.
• Shed skins from bed bugs molting.
• Clusters of minuscule white eggs or eggshells.
• Waking up with numerous small bites around your extremities.

Identifying bed bug bites can also be challenging because they can initially resemble the bites of numerous other pests, especially mosquitoes. Bed bug bites typically appear as straight lines or small clusters of raised, red welts that emit a burning sensation and can create a rash around the affected area. However, different people have different reactions, with some not reporting any visible symptoms at all. 

Warning signs can appear practically anywhere inside the home, but you should pay special attention to your headboards, bedside tables, and wall junctions, in addition to your regular furniture and bedding.

Witt Pest Management offers specialty bed bug control services for Fox Chapel residents and business owners. Our specialists know exactly what to look for and how to handle bed bug infestations of any shape or size. Our bed bug detecting canines can sniff out bed bugs anywhere they might be in the house and find them with pin-point precision. We’ll comprehensively treat the bed bugs present and then make return visits afterward to eliminate any eggs that might have hatched. 

If bed bugs have gotten into your Fox Chapel home, don’t ignore the warning signs: contact the professionals at Witt Pest Management for a comprehensive bed bug treatment today.

Ticks are dangerous and difficult-to-treat pests that thrive in Fox Chapel’s forests. In Fox Chapel, the two most common dangerous ticks are the Blacklegged tick (or deer tick) and the Brown Dog Tick. Despite their names, both types of ticks are not picky about their blood meals, and will happily hop on the back of any mouse, squirrel, cat, or other woodland animals they find - and it is this behavior that usually takes them into residential areas. 

Ticks are known to transmit a number of dangerous diseases, including:

• Lyme Disease
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
• Anaplasmosis
• Bourbon Virus
• Ehrlichiosis
• Borrelia Miyamotoi
• And more

The dangers ticks pose to your family and pets make them a hazard you can’t afford to allow around your home. Here are some tips to prevent ticks around your Fox Chapel property:

• Mow the lawn regularly. 
• Trim back any vegetation away from the sides of the house. 
• Wear long-sleeve shirts and pants when spending long periods of time outdoors. 
• Avoid going into wooded areas around your property without proper clothing.
• Check your skin and clothing thoroughly for ticks before returning inside.
• Invest in flea & tick collars for your pets.
• Seal any cracks or holes in your home’s walls, roof, and foundations.

Remember, ticks typically get into yards on the back of something else, so having a tick infestation in your yard could also be a warning sign that you might have other pest problems on your hands as well. This is part of why proper tick prevention also involves general pest prevention practices to be effective, such as removing potential food and water sources from the yard, keeping exterior trash sealed effectively, removing any clutter from the lawn, etc. 

Unfortunately, even the best prevention steps can sometimes fail. When that happens, don’t wait; contact the pest professionals at Witt Pest Management for help. We specialize in eliminating ticks, mosquitoes, bed bugs, and numerous other invasive pests from homes across Pennsylvania. If ticks have started biting around your property, don’t wait: call Witt now for professional tick treatment.
