Using Pest Control As Preventative Maintenance

A few years ago, I experienced a personal breakthrough as a homeowner. I realized that I waited to call pest control until my bug problem had grown out of control. Instead of simply controlling pests, we would have to work through from square one each and every time we wanted to resolve the problem. However, my pest control guy gave me some advice that has stuck with me since that day. He explained that we should consider using pest control as preventative maintenance. Since then, I have pest control spray regularly every 3-6 months, whether there are bugs in my house or not. Tips like these can be found in the articles on my website.

What You Need To Do About Winter Pests

 Categories: , Blog

Pests don't just come out in warm, summer months. They are present in winter as well, as they are looking for warmth and comfort to stay alive during those cold winter months. If you have found that you have pests in your home during the winter months, you need to take care of them to prevent other pests from coming into your home and to prevent a future problem as well. Read on for some tips to help you protect your home this winter against these visitors.

Seal Your House And Make Repairs

You need to be sure your home is sealed for the winter months against the cold and to protect it against winter pests as well. If your window and door seals aren't protecting your home against cold, they aren't protecting your home against pests either. You need to be sure your home is sealed tightly, and all cracks and crevices are repaired as needed to protect it from invading pests. Go through your home and feel for cool air, then seal or repair as needed, as these areas are more than likely where pests may be coming inside.

Clean Up The Exterior

Clean the exterior of your home to get rid of overgrowth and brush piles around your home. Anything piled closely to your home can be housing pests such as rodents, ants, and spiders, in addition to other pests. Clean up these areas around your home and keep the exterior of your home clean and free of piles of yard waste. 

Set Traps

Set traps around your home to trap and kill the pests invading your home this winter. Set traps for ants, rodents, and spiders, as well as for other pests you may have in your home. You can find the traps you need at your local hardware store, or you can use a pesticide around your home to get rid of the pests you have as well.

Hire A Professional

Hire a professional pest control company to help you rid your home of pests this winter. Contact a pest control company about your pest problem to ensure your home is free of these pests and to protect it against future pest problems as well.
