Ants
A trail along the kitchen sill usually leads back to a gap in the caulk line.
Johnston, Rhode Island
Every pest Integrity Pest Control treats around Johnston
The family treats six kinds of pests, and each one has a usual way into a Rhode Island house. Find the one you are seeing, read how it tends to start, then call and describe it.
01
Termites
Mud tubes running up the cellar wall to the sill plate are the sign to call about. Look along the foundation where the wood sits on the stone before you do anything else, and tell the family what you find.

02
Mice and rats
A chewed corner of a garage door seal is all a mouse needs once the nights turn cold. Mice and rats both go looking for a warm way in when autumn arrives.

03
Roaches
They live where the pipes come through the back of the sink cabinet. A rough hole in the wood and a little water are all it takes to make a home there.
