Everyone knows that rats are a menace. Once they get inside, they can spread diseases, cause significant damage, and contaminate food.

Fleas

Fleas are a frequent issue in UK homes, particularly those with pets. These tiny pests can invade any home, hitching a ride on furry friends or even lingering from previous occupants.

They can also transmit diseases and cause allergic reactions in both animals and humans.

Bed bugs

Bed bugs are like tiny vampires, lurking in the shadows and feasting on your blood while you sleep. These creepy crawlies are small, flat, and brownish—about the size of an apple seed—until they’ve had their fill, then they turn a telltale reddish hue.

Keeping Your Own Home Free From Unwanted Pests

Any unwanted animal which has invaded your home is considered a pest, but homeowners most frequently complain about bugs, rodents and squirrels. Because many of these pests are so small, it is easy to forget that they are living in the world all around us. The truth of the matter is that even the animals we consider to be pests are all part of this natural world we call home and have every right to it. However, when it comes to invasion of privacy, they are generally not welcome in our homes. Therefore, you need to be aware of how to secure your home against these animals. 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. Some of the time, all they are looking for is a dry and warm place they could make a home. If you are able to avoid creating these two aspects and making them available to pests, then you certainly will lower the number of pests that invade your home. Cleanliness is therefore very important to this process. 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. It is important that you do not leave any food sources available for them to want to come in. You will notice a great reduction in pests as a result.

Always keep your home clean, this way flies and other smaller insects will not visit. Wipe down your counters each evening before bed. Put used dishes in the dishwasher so that they are not left sitting out. Many insects also seek out moisture. Be careful to address any leaks and plumbing problems as soon as possible, in order to keep water loving bugs away.

Animals often enter homes when the seasons change and the weather turns cooler. If you are vigilant for potential entry points, they will not be able to do this. Sealant or caulking should do the trick.

It is important to pick up around the outside of the house to discourage pests from nesting. Avoid stacking up wood next to your house and always clean and sweep garden areas at the end of each season. Make sure that your pets are always clean so as to ensure that they do not bring unwanted “friends” in to your home.

Keeping your home free of pests is very straightforward if you adhere to these basic tips. Cleanliness is key, and if you are able to do that, the rest will fall into place.

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