Back-to-school season often means one last trip, a move to campus or extra travel before summer ends. It is also a good time to remember that bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers.

They can travel home in luggage, backpacks, clothing and used furniture without anyone realizing it.

After traveling, inspect luggage before putting it away, wash and dry clothing appropriately, and watch for small dark spotting, shed skins or unexplained bites around sleeping areas.

Early identification can make a big difference.

If you suspect bed bugs, avoid moving belongings from room to room and schedule a professional inspection.

Small gaps can create big pest problems.

Pests do not need an open front door to get inside. Gaps around utility lines, worn door sweeps, openings around garage doors, foundation cracks and other small entry points can give insects and rodents an easy path indoors.

Take a few minutes this weekend to walk around your home and look closely at the places where pipes, cables and doors meet the exterior.

Not sure what you are looking for? A complimentary Aruza Home Health Inspection can help identify pest activity, entry points and conditions around your home that may be contributing to the problem.

Prevention is easier when you know where to look.

RODENTS DON'T WAIT FOR FALL!
Many homeowners think rodent season begins when the weather turns cold. The truth is, mice and rats stay active all year long.

Late summer is one of the best times to identify entry points before rodents begin looking for warm places to nest this fall. Small gaps around garage doors, utility lines, crawlspace vents and rooflines are often all they need.

A professional inspection now can help keep rodents outside where they belong.

Schedule your rodent inspection with Aruza today.

Flies taking over your backyard?

Late summer is prime time for outdoor fly activity. Warm temperatures speed up breeding, while trash cans, pet areas, grills, outdoor kitchens and other organic material can give flies exactly what they need to stick around.

If your patio or pool suddenly feels like it belongs to the flies, spraying the ones you see usually is not enough. The better approach is to reduce what attracts them and target the areas where they breed and gather.

We put together a practical guide explaining why outdoor flies become such a problem in summer, what homeowners can do to reduce them, and when professional outdoor fly control makes sense.

Not all pest control advice is created equal.

We're proud to see Ralph Mansferrer, Aruza's Director of Technical & Training, featured by Fox News for sharing two of his favorite homeowner pest prevention tools.

These are practical, science-based tips homeowners can use as part of a broader pest prevention strategy.
