How to Keep Your Home Pest-Free
Top Tips from Experts
Unwanted pests in your home can be more than just a nuisance. They can pose significant health risks and cause substantial damage to your property. However, with the right knowledge and preventative measures, homeowners can effectively keep their homes pest-free. At Bug Out!, our experts have years of experience in pest control, and we’re here to share some of our top tips to help you prevent pest infestations.
- Seal Cracks and Holes
Insects and rodents can enter your home through the tiniest of openings. Inspect your home for any cracks and holes, particularly around doors, windows, and where utilities and pipes enter your home. Seal these openings with caulk or foam sealant to prevent pests from entering.
- Maintain Your Yard
Your yard can serve as a breeding ground for pests. Regularly trim your trees and shrubs to keep them away from your home’s walls, roof, and foundation. Keep your lawn mowed and remove any fallen fruit or nuts from your yard promptly. Additionally, ensure that your firewood is stored at least 20 feet away from your home and five inches off the ground.
- Keep Your Home Clean
Many pests are attracted to food and water sources. Keep your kitchen clean, store your food in airtight containers, and avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink overnight. Regularly take out the trash and ensure your bins have tight-fitting lids. In the bathroom, fix any leaking taps or pipes as they can attract pests looking for water.
- Regular Pest Inspections
Regular pest inspections by professionals are an excellent way to prevent infestations. A pest control expert can identify potential problems before they become significant issues and provide advice tailored to your specific situation.
