Overland Park is a beautiful place with its humid, sub-tropic climate and a variety of free things to do as a family and is a perfect place to live.  In fact, Overland Park is the second most populated city in Kansas. Although these numbers show it is a great location for your family, it is also the second most populated city for pests such as rodents, ants, spiders, bed bugs, and more.

Bed Bug Treatment

Bed bugs invade homes all over the US. More than being abundant, they bite humans, leaving itchy red welts, and this is how most people find out they have a bed bug infestation in the first place. Call pest control as soon as you see signs of bed bugs, or the problem will escalate since bed bugs breed quickly.

Mosquito Control

As well as being annoying, mosquitos are often carriers of diseases that are harmful to both humans and pets. This makes enjoying your yard difficult since you’re likely spending half your time swatting the pests away. Thankfully, if you call pest control, measures can be taken to deter them from your garden forever.

Japanese Beetle Control

Termite Inspection

A termite inspection is only the first step to protecting your home. There is a difference between a termite inspection and termite control. An inspection will identify whether or not your house has been invaded by termites. After completing an inspection, a plan is generated on how the invasion (or any future invasions) will be exterminated and controlled. Our custom plans may include the following treatments and are administered based on your unique situation

Are Termites In Overland Park Harmful To Humans?

There isn’t a lot of positive news when it comes to termites. They are destructive pests that are hard to detect, hard to prevent, and even harder to treat. The only good news about termites is that they don’t carry diseases or bite humans unless they are handled directly or feel threatened. 

Having a termite infestation in your home isn’t harmless, though. Contact with termite frass can cause dermatitis. Termites can also spread mold spores by chewing through moldy wood. People in homes with a termite infestation may also suffer from allergic reactions or asthma attacks. 

Avoid the damage and danger termites cause by working with us for professional termite control. We use a unique combination of liquid treatments and termite baiting to quickly eliminate termites in your home and ensure they don’t return.

How Do Rodents Find Their Way Into Overland Park Homes?

Mice, rats, and other rodents can do significant damage if they get inside your Overland Park home. They can spread disease, chew on wires, destroy documents, and leave urine and feces all over your house.

Rodent pest control to protect your health and property starts with learning how they get in. These pests often enter your home through a crack in your exterior or loose weatherstripping. Mice only need a gap that is one-half of an inch wide to enter your home. Rats, on the other hand, can access your home in any number of ways, including via the roof or even the sewers. Larger rodents like squirrels may take advantage of improperly sealed attics or crawl spaces. 

Don’t let rodents damage your property or bring disease into your Overland Park home. Call Mantis Pest Control and let our experienced service professionals remove the rodents already in your home and create a plan to keep them from returning.
