Hove Biting Insect Control

The key to controlling an infestation of biting insects is correct identification of the insect. The easiest way to achieve this is by visual assessment of an insect, although this is hard with hidden or really small pests. Another option is to identify insects by their bite. The seriousness of bites may vary from one person to another, but a good indicator of the species is the placement of the bite. For instance, bites on legs and ankles are typical of fleas, whereas mosquitos will frequently bite arms, shoulders or other areas of the body that are exposed while in bed.
