Pest can cause a huge amount of damage to your property. They can eat through the wood structure supporting your home, chew through electrical cables, damage insulation and even bite you – potentially leaving you infected. Therefore, it is essential that you understand how to prevent the pest from being an issue and how to exterminate them if they do invade.

This guide will outline how to prevent and exterminate pest but it is important to get in touch with local pest removal experts.

Pest Prevention Steps

Identify the threat

The first step is to identify the pest most common in your area. While mice and ants can appear virtually anywhere, pests such as termites prefer warmer climates.

Knowing what you are dealing with will help you tackle the issue properly.

Inspect the pest

You need to visually inspect your home at least once a year, but preferably do it more often. If you are unsure what you are looking for then get a professional to inspect your home. You will then be able to take notes regarding what to look for in the future.

Fix the issue

It is essential that when you identify a potential access point or nest site for the pest you take prompt action to rectify the issue.

Preventing pest from getting into your house is the biggest and easiest way to prevent pest problems.

Preventive measures

Keeping your house clean, food stored and rubbish sealed is essential. Pest needs food to survive. If you leave food lying around or fail to clean up after eating, you are simply giving them an invitation.

All open packets should be stored in sealed containers, surfaces should be cleaned regularly and your dirty dishes washed or put in the dishwasher promptly.

It is also important to keep your rubbish in the bin. When it is full, remove the bag, tie it and place it at least 6 feet from your home. Ideally, put it in a secure outside container.

Keeping your yard tidy can also help to prevent pest as they will not have an attractive hiding place to call home.

How to Exterminate the Pest

Most pest will die after you have applied/sprayed chemicals in their nest. You can purchase chemicals to deal with pest from general stores or get advice from the pest extermination experts.

However, it is also important to preemptive when you’ll be unable to get to the heart of the issue or when the chemicals that you are using are not effective in controlling the pest.

In this instance, you should call a professional firm who can identify the source and treat it effectively. This will usually only take one treatment but the site should be monitored before going for any proven solution.

The most important aspect is prevention. By keeping your property clean and free of clutter you are less likely to have an issue with the pest that needs to be resolved. This means you can relax and enjoy your home without worrying about your family’s safety or the stability of your property in terms of pest infestation.
