Ever since graduating from college, I’ve fancied myself an extremely strong and independant woman. For years after graduating, I paid all of my own bills, I fixed and maintained my home (wherever or whatever form it took), and took out my own garbage – even if it required walking up and down 6 flights of stairs.
Even after I got married and started having kids, I made a point of ensuring that I had my own space and a path forward in the career that I chose. To this day, my husband is surprised whenever I ask his help for something, though he’s always willing.
Despite all of this, ever since I was a teenager, I’ve had one major weakness – bugs. I hate seeing them, hearing them, or even knowing that they may be somewhere near me. I’ve had to get landlords, boyfriends, or my husband to come take care of it whenever I spy even the smallest spider in my sleeping space.
Now, my husband has a very successful career in his own right, and recently he has been required to travel for long periods of time to attend trade shows and networking events. For the most part, this has been fine, as the kids are old enough now to mostly entertain and take care of themselves and I can keep busy with my own work and the household chores.
The only real problem is when nature rears its ugly head and a bug invades the house. Some spray is usually more than enough, until I made a horrifying discovery the day my husband left on his most recent trip.
I noticed some small piles of sawdust gathering on the floor moldings next to the garage. Investigating further, I found some small holes…and while peering closer, a bug emerged from the wall not more than an inch away from my eye.
After the freakout had subsided, I immediately knew that we had a major problem on our hands: termites. We were living in a house whose walls very well may be filled to the brim with bugs. I nearly gagged as I ran out the door and feverishly began searching for an exterminator.
Another problem occurred to me then: as much as I hated bugs, I still recognize their importance in the local ecology and did not want to introduce industrial-strength toxins into the food chain. Luckily, I was able to find a local company that provided organic termite treatments: Natural Science Exterminating.
Natural Science uses a number of naturally occurring chemicals that have been found to kill or prevent pests from breeding, including bromide and orange peel oil. These natural treatments don’t just kill the current infestation, they also help prevent new ones from gaining ground on your property.
The company also provides services a cut above the usual pest control business, with top-notch customer service and even carpentry services to replace any damaged wood. If you’re like me and cannot stand the thought of sharing living space with bugs and critters for even a minute, do yourself a favor and get in contact with Natural Science today:
