Pest Problems Solved

Keeping your home pest free is probably at the top of your list of priorities – no one likes having pests scurrying about their homes and, even worse, spreading germs and diseases. If you want to make sure that your home is safe for you and your family, it will be necessary for you to prevent pest infestation rather than just dealing with it. 

What pests want

Pests want a home with pleasant conditions – plenty of food; water and darkness. They are going to gravitate to areas in your home that fulfil these conditions. The kitchen is likely to be the area in your home most attractive to pests because of the amount of food available. Keeping your kitchen clean and making sure that food is properly sealed is a good way to ensure that pests are made to feel less comfortable.

  2. Have a pest inspection conducted at least once annually – experts can spot problems that you may miss.

  4. Make sure that woodpiles and tree limbs are kept away from the home – woodpiles create an ideal environment for pests to breed in. Tree limbs provide access to your home. 
  5. Keep your kitchen clean – pests love to look for snacks in your kitchen as much as you do. You have to make sure not to leave leftover food out, to make sure that the rubbish bin is inaccessible to pests, to keep the kitchen clean and to wash dishes as soon as possible after using them.
