5 Common Household Pests and How TERRO® Can Help You Get Rid of Them

In this blog, we’ll explore five common household pests and how TERRO® products can help you eliminate them.

1. Ants: The Tiny Invaders

Ants are one of the most common household pests. They can enter your home in search of food, and once they find it, they’ll invite their entire colony. Whether it’s tiny sugar ants or larger carpenter ants, these pests can be difficult to eliminate without the right tools.

How TERRO® Can Help: TERRO® Liquid Ant Baits are an easy and effective solution. The sweet liquid attracts ants, and once they consume it, they carry it back to their colony, eliminating the entire problem at the source. Place the baits near ant trails, and let TERRO® do the rest!

2. Spiders: Creepy Crawlers

Spiders are beneficial in controlling other insects, but that doesn’t mean you want them taking up residence in your home. Whether it’s the common house spider or the more dangerous black widow, finding these eight-legged creatures in your home can be unsettling.

How TERRO® Can Help: TERRO® Spider & Insect Traps are designed to catch spiders and other crawling insects. These traps are easy to place in corners, along walls, and in other areas where spiders are commonly found. The non-toxic, sticky surface ensures pests are captured without the use of chemicals.

3. Flies: Annoying Fliers

Flies are not only a nuisance but also a potential health hazard. They can contaminate food and surfaces, making them an unwelcome visitor in any kitchen or living space.

How TERRO® Can Help: TERRO® Fruit Fly Traps and TERRO® Fly Magnet® provide simple solutions to capture and control fly populations. The Fruit Fly Trap is specifically designed to attract and eliminate fruit flies, while the Fly Magnet® uses a special bait to trap and kill a variety of fly species.

4. Termites: The Silent Destroyers

Termites are small insects that can cause big problems. Known as the "silent destroyers," termites feed on wood, which can lead to significant structural damage if left unchecked.

How TERRO® Can Help: TERRO® Termite Detection & Killing Stakes offer a proactive way to protect your home. These stakes are easy to install around your property and provide both detection and elimination of termites. They come with a pop-up indicator to let you know when termites have been detected.

5. Mosquitoes: The Buzzing Menace

Mosquitoes are not only annoying with their buzzing and biting, but they can also spread dangerous diseases like West Nile virus and Zika virus. Keeping mosquitoes out of your home and yard is essential for your family’s health and comfort.

How TERRO® Can Help: TERRO® Mosquito Larvacide Pouches are an innovative solution for controlling mosquitoes before they become a problem. Simply place the pouches in standing water around your property to eliminate mosquito larvae and reduce the adult mosquito population.
