It started with an innocent idea. I wanted to hardwire the upstairs office with a better internet connection so I could finally upload client files without holding my breath and praying the Wi-Fi wouldn’t drop. My husband had promised for months he’d install the new ethernet jack, but between work, soccer practice, and “forgetting,” I decided to just do it myself.
So, I armed myself with a drywall saw and a YouTube tutorial and set off to conquer the wall behind my desk.
What I didn’t expect was a bunch of crumbly brown clumps falling to the floor the moment I started cutting. At first, I thought it was just old insulation or dirt from the attic. But then the clumps moved. Wriggled, really. My heart stopped, and I did what any self-respecting adult would do. I screamed, dropped the saw, and backed into a houseplant.
After a few deep breaths and a hasty Google search, the verdict was in: termites. Actual termites. In my wall. The same wall I sit next to every day while writing emails and sipping herbal tea like my home isn’t being slowly digested from the inside out.
Once I’d recovered from the shock, I started plotting my next move. These bugs had to go. But I was also very aware that I have two kids who treat the house like a jungle gym and a golden retriever who will eat literally anything. The last thing I wanted was to coat my home in something toxic just to evict a few six-legged squatters.
I tried researching old-fashioned remedies that people used to control their pest problems before the Industrial Revolution, up to and including the method of trapping them with cardboard soaked in water, but it all seemed like a recipe for disappointment (and more bugs). I needed something safe yet effective.
That’s when I stumbled across Natural Science Exterminating. The name caught my attention because, frankly, I was starting to feel like I needed a scientist. Turns out, they offer organic and non-toxic termite treatments that are designed specifically for families like mine. In other words, for people who want to keep their homes pest-free without worrying about whether their toddler is licking pesticide residue off the floor.
What I liked most was that their methods are based on natural chemicals that are just as effective at clearing out infestations as the more aggressive stuff, but without the environmental guilt or health concerns. No tenting, no gas masks, no abandoning my house for days on end.
And they actually understand how households work. When I called to ask questions, the person on the phone didn’t talk down to me or try to upsell me. They just listened, explained my options, and reassured me that I wouldn’t need to burn the house down to fix the problem.
If you’re anything like me, juggling work deadlines with snack times and school pick-ups, and you happen to discover a surprise colony of termites behind your drywall, I can’t recommend Natural Science Exterminating enough. Their approach is safer, smarter, and honestly, just less scary.
Take it from someone who once set off a fire alarm making toast: leave the pest control to the professionals. Especially the kind who won’t fill your home with toxins to do it. Call Natural Science Exterminating today and get those bugs OUT—without compromising your peace of mind, your pets’ safety, or your kids’ curiosity.
