3 ways to solve your pest control problems

Hey there! Let’s take a second and discuss pests. We all know the power of that word can give you a little shiver, right?

Your home is your warm, snug shelter your retreat after a long day. But what do you do when uninvited guests such as rats, roaches, or even termites decide to crash the party? No need to panic; you have options!

And yes, while not all of the pests are ugly, they can be a real problem if they get comfortable! Take termites, for instance. These little beasts love to eat wood structures and can deceptively build their nests right beneath you. If not dealt with, they can undermine your home’s base yikes!

Oh, and rats and cockroaches, of course. They’re not only destructive; they can also carry some undesirable health risks with them. Rats are notorious for spreading diseases, and cockroaches are prone to dwell in unsanitary places, spreading the bacteria throughout your house.

1. Keep Your Space Clean  

A tidy home is a happy home! Keep it neat: Pests are attracted to food and water, so cleanliness is key. Store food in glass jars with snap lids, an airtight option. And don’t let those dirty dishes stack up in the sink!

Be sure to sweep and mop regularly, particularly in high-use areas like the kitchen and bathroom. And please take out the trash more than once a week  those cans might as well be a sign for the pests to come.

2. Seal Entrance Points

Walk around the outside of your house and look for cracks or small holes. Even tiny gaps can be an open invitation to pests. If you see any, plug them up with caulk or a non-toxic sealant. Mesh screens work for larger holes!

And from your home's exterior, don't forget to trim back bushes or piles of wood nearby that can make ideal hiding places for critters!

Follow these simple steps to help keep your home safe from these pesky invaders! Happy pest-proofing.
