Keeping Your Home Free From Unwanted Pests

Cockroaches, rodents, squirrels, insects, bugs and other unwelcome visitors who invite themselves into your home are all pests. The animals are part of the natural world and their appearance in the home has no malicious intent. While they certainly have their role in the circle of life, that does not mean that we want to be graced with their presence. Their existence can cause unwanted stress and worry for the homeowner. It is important to figure out how to keep these pests from coming inside. Below you will find some tips which will help to keep your property a pest free zone.

Prevention is the best way to stop invasions. One of the main attractions for animals is an easy source of food. They may also be motivated by a warm, dry place to shelter, particularly during the cold winter months. If you can address these two factors, it is far less likely you will develop a pest problem. Cleanliness will help to deter animals in search of food. Items should be kept in secure packaging and storage containers, in either a refrigerator or kitchen cupboard. Dump all your trash on a daily basis and avoid always leaving cooked food on the counter. If you do not leave food out, you should not end up with pests such as rodents. You will notice a great reduction in pests as a result.

Making a clean home a priority will also deter another common pest; bugs. Wipe down your counters each evening before bed. Put used dishes in the dishwasher so that they are not left sitting out. Keep your floors and other surfaces dry to avoid attracting pests. Therefore keep your bathroom’s and kitchen’s surfaces dry and always fix any leaks as soon as possible.

Animals often enter homes when the seasons change and the weather turns cooler. Take care of these entryways to avoid giving insects an easy route into your home. Sealant or caulking should do the trick.

Keep pests out by always keeping the outside of your home tidy, neat and clean. Sweep up any plant and leaf debris, and never stack piles of wood near your house. Make sure your pet is treated for fleas and ticks so that they do not become a host for these little creatures.

Keeping your home free of pests is very straightforward if you adhere to these basic tips. Simple measures such as keeping your home clean, dry and secure will stop the majority of animals from making your home their home.

You may well need a professional if your problem is multiple pests in the house.
