WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PREVENT PEST INFESTATIONS AT HOME?

Disaster can strike anywhere, anytime, and pest infestations are no exception. An infestation can quickly turn your dream home into a living nightmare. What is the best way to prevent pest infestations? If you’re a homeowner and haven’t asked that question yet, it’s only a matter of time.

Unfortunately, there is no single, magical solution that will prevent pest problems forever. However, there are a number of effective methods you can use to decrease the chances of an infestation.

Clean Your Home Regularly

Pests love dirty, messy places to hide, and if you aren’t cleaning your home regularly, your home will become more attractive to invading pests. 

Make sure to regularly:

• Vacuum your carpets to help eliminate pests and eggs
• Clean your counters to prevent food buildup
• Remove clutter around your home to prevent pests from setting up nests
• Fix any leaking pipes, faucets, and appliances to prevent standing water

Fill Any Cracks

Pests are often quite small, meaning that any crack in your home can serve as an entrance to an invading horde of bugs. You should inspect your home or office for any cracks in walls, vents, or the foundation and seal them as soon as possible.
