Pest Proofing Your Property

The very first sight of ants, rodents, bed bugs, flies, cockroaches, termites, mosquitoes, etc should be considered a warning. It’s time to get into action and get your property pest-treated to prevent degrading health and damage. Pest control professionals leave no stone unturned to clear every trace at your place. But, what’s next? The answer is prevention by pest proofing.

Pest proofing is following tips and preventive measures that reduce the root causes of bug and insect home invasions.

Understand that pests always look for ways in, such as a hole, cracks in the walls, gaps under the doors, and windows.  Aside from a way in, they’re looking for food and shelter.  You can get rid of that by keeping the area clean and well-lit.

In the food areas like the kitchen, all food should be sealed immediately after use. If unattended, it can turn into a feast for the rodents, cockroaches and ants. Food crumbs and scraps in high volume food serving areas are common. These should be cleared to prevent unwanted flies and other insects preying on them and causing food contamination or the spread of disease.  Disposing trash in a sealed dumpster or container and keeping the lid secure is another good way to keep the bugs away!  Putting net screens on all windows and doors can help as well.
