Bed bugs have made a strong reappearance in the past 10 years. The treatment is a specialized process that includes initial treatment and follow-up treats. Bed bugs may be brought into the home or residence by another host. The first sign of bed bugs is a line, cluster, or zigzag of itchy bites that look like welts and are commonly mistaken for flea bites. If you spot these, your next step is to look for visible signs of smeared fecal matter in the bed, their exoskeletons, blood stains on your bedclothes and sheets, or tiny reddish-brown flat bugs and their eggs in mattress seams.

Formosan termites typically swarm in the spring as early as February. This is when the reproductive termites leave the colony to start colonies of their own swarming on sunny days following a rain. Termite sightings might include wings around window seals, vents, and doors. They tend to like moisture, so you may also see dead termites or their wings near bathtubs and sinks as well. Note that it takes about three years for a colony to reach reproductive maturity so, if you see swarming, then it is not a new infestation.
