Termites

Termites are a bug that resides in wood. The wood can be outdoors in trees, but when termites set up shop in the structure of your home, this is a dangerous situation to be in.

As they crawl all over the surfaces in your home, this can become a risk. They can also aggravate your allergies.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs can cause a pretty severe allergic reaction for people who have a sensitivity. You can easily pick them up if you’re on vacation and they make their way into your luggage.
