Regardless of what time of year it is, the weather will
always bring unwanted pests. In the winter, mice are generally looking for
warmer spaces and will find a new home in places like your house, garage or
shed. When the weather gets warmer, the warmer temperatures bring about pests
such as termites. One or two pests is an easy fix but when they start bringing
all of their friends into your home, you have a huge problem!
3 things that may
cause infestation

6 signs that you have
an infestation problem

- You find “feeding stations”. These are typically hidden places that rodents take food to be eaten.
- Odd smells that you can’t rid with general cleaning.
- Stains in the ceilings.

mean grabbing a mop and some Mr Clean. You must have the area decontaminated in
order to keep you and your family safe. Bio-One would be happy to protect you
