Dover, NH Pest Control
There are a lot of critters that can come into your yard, from tiny seed ticks to big fat raccoons. How you should deal with the pests on your property depends on what pests you're dealing with. The first step in pest control is to perform a detailed inspection to determine the identities of the pests present, the level of activity, and conducive conditions.
You can do this yourself or have a licensed pest management professional take care of this for you. We just happen to have a few of those right here at Big Blue Bug Solutions. If you need assistance with Strafford County pest control, we've got you covered.
You can reach out to us for a free inspection or get answers to your questions right over the phone. Once you know what pests you are dealing with, you can take targeted measures to deal with them. But, there are also many ways to address pests in a more general way. Let's look at how residential and commercial pest control work to control potential pest problems, and take a look at two common pest concerns in Dover.
Home Pest Control In Dover, NH
How does residential pest control get control of pests in Dover? Each pest is somewhat different, but there are a few general facts that pertain to all pests, such as:
- Pests are looking for food. Remove the food and you'll deter the pests.
- Pests are looking for water. Address clogged gutters, plumbing issues, dense vegetation, and conditions that allow water to be captured.
- Some pests are drawn to decaying organic matter and the scent of garbage. Proper trash management is essential.
- Insects are attracted to light. Keep lights off at night or consider replacing white lights with yellow. Insects aren't attracted to yellow light.
- Pests get inside because they can. Seal exterior entry points to keep pests out.
- You are more likely to have pests in your home if you have more pests around your home.
- Yard work is critical. Leaf piles, dead branches, grass clippings, and other organic debris will attract critters to your yard, perimeter, and voids under structures.
These are just some of the many factors you need to consider if you want to naturally control bugs and wildlife. If you learn what attracts pests and how they get into your home, you may be able to get control of them. Keep in mind that a trained professional works with pests all the time and is trained in the latest technologies and methods.
The best way to keep pests out is to get year-round pest control for your home. At Big Blue Bug Solutions, our Home Pest Control includes three visits each year. If pests come back between services, so do we! You're always covered.

What To Do If You Are Bitten By A Tick In Dover
Ticks and Lyme disease are common topics in Dover. There are several things you can do to address tick bites, such as:
- Stay calm. Ticks aren't always infected with a disease that impacts human health. This is particularly true if they are seed ticks, which have six legs instead of eight.
- Remove the tick. Use a tick-removal tool or needle-nose tweezers to pull the tick off. Early removal of deer ticks can prevent Lyme disease.
- Bag the tick. It is a good idea to keep a tick because it will help your physician to treat you properly if you have to go to the hospital.
- Clean the wound. Wash and disinfect the wound. This will help to reduce the amount of disease-causing microorganisms that get into the wound.
If you don't want to get tick bites on your property, contact Big Blue Bug Solutions for seasonal tick control treatments around your home. This is the best way to deal with ticks.
How To Be Sure It's Bed Bugs In Your Dover Home
Many residents immediately assume they have bed bugs when they wake up to bites on their bodies. However, other insects are often mistaken for bed bugs because they look similar or bite around bedding materials. So how can you be sure you're dealing with bed bugs in your Dover home?
Fortunately, there are several ways to determine if bed bugs are causing problems in your house. Early signs of bed bugs include:
- Reddish-brown fecal spots
- Lines or clusters of small, itchy, red welts
- Eggs, egg shells, or molt skins
- A musty odor
