Hi,

My name is Beth Miller and i have been suffering from itchy marks on my body that looks so similar to the one shown above.  I have been to a dermatologist and they said i had a pregnancy rash called pupps because i am 27 weeks pregnant but my ob-gyn disagrees and said she had seen that rash many times it mine does not look any thing like it so i have been doing some research and i don’t think it is bed bugs because i have stripped my bedding and have not noticed any pests but was thinking that it could possibly be fleas?

We have an indoor cat but i often am at my moms who has dogs who get fleas and thought i could have brought them home and my cat got them and is now a possible breeding ground.

We have tried every thing to figure out what is causing my rash and i even had two biopsies that came back with nothing!  I am so frustrated and just trying to find an answer! If you have any other ideas of what can cause a rash that looks like the one above please let me know!

This termite evidence can help you avoid expensive and extensive damage to your foundation and the rest of your home

Bon Appetit, termites

For many, it’s termite season. Termites, those pesky little critters that you often see eating away at your house like Hansel and Gretel on a candy binge, cause billions of dollars worth of damage every year. The best way to avoid damage is to catch the infestation early, saving money and sanity.

You might even see termite swarming, maybe even wings on your window siles, if you do, call us.

Signs You Have Termites

The first step is to know what to look for, as many insects tend to look the same. Termites have straight antennae with uniform proportional bodies and wings. Homeowners often mistake termites for harmless winged ants. You need to know the difference between ants and termites.  When in doubt, consult a commercial exterminator.

Signs of Termites

Attracted to light, termites often begin munching at windows (wood), doors, porches, decks and basements. Often you’ll see the little critters dining at night near the light source, whether it’s the porch light or a window frame. If you see a swarm of termites around your porch lights or at your window sills, you may have a problem on your hands.

Know Your Termite Activity

Third, termite colonies create termite mud tubes over foundation walls, sill plates and floor joists. This allows them to travel safely around your home, infesting your entire house if not eradicated early. Your home is infested if termites are found in these tubes. If the tubes are broken open and there are no termites, either the colony has moved on completely or they’ve moved to another part of your home.  This is the sign that you need to have the a whole house treatment before they eat you out out of house and home.

If You Suspect a Termite Problem and See Damaged Wood

A commercial exterminator must be consulted as soon as you suspect an infestation to avoid extensive and expensive damage and to begin treatment immediately to kill the termites. Professionals have the tools and knowledge necessary to eliminate the pests and prevent you from paying for expensive repairs.

If you suspect that you have the signs of termite infestation you need to contact a local exterminator, which is Patriot Pest Control.  They can provide you with a complete free termite inspection (termite treatment cost) as well as a free energy usage report.  Contact them today at 293-PEST
