How to Keep Pests Out of Your Home

The last thing anyone wants is to deal with an infestation in their home. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to decrease the risk of pests making their way inside.

To Keep Pests Out of Your Home, You Should:

• Take care of clutter: Cluttered areas provide the perfect shelter for pests who like to hide away in dark, secluded areas. Be sure to clear any areas in your home that are cluttered to discourage pests from making themselves comfortable.
• Vacuum regularly: Your home should be vacuumed regularly to take care of any fallen crumbs that might attract pests as well as any pest eggs that might be lying around.
• Don’t leave pet food out: Your pet’s food and water should not be left out overnight because pests will surely find it.
• Store leftovers: Any leftover food should be stored in airtight containers so as not to invite pests.
• Take out the trash: Pests love garbage, so you should take your trash out daily and ensure your outside trash bins are sealed properly.
• Keep your yard tidy: Yard clutter (such as piles of leaves, twigs, and pine needles), overgrown foliage, tall grass, piles of wood, and tree branches that extend over your home make the perfect hiding spots for pests. Keep your yard tidy to discourage pest activity.
• Schedule pest control in Gastonia: Routine pest control is the very best way to protect your home. Bring in a team of Gastonia pest control professionals who are familiar with all of the most common invaders in your area to ensure your home receives the ultimate protection.

Can I Treat an Infestation on My Own?

We know you might be tempted to handle your pest infestation on your own, but we strongly discourage that.

Below Are Some of the Reasons Why You Should Avoid Treating an Infestation:

• It’s hard work: In order to effectively treat an infestation, you need to know exactly which areas to treat and how to properly use treatment products. Additionally, over-the-counter products are often ineffective and result in pest problems returning.
• It is unsafe: Pest infestations can pose a serious risk to your health. Many pests carry and transmit diseases and other illnesses to humans through their saliva, urine, and feces, which can make handling an infestation very dangerous.
• You do not have the necessary training: Pest control experts in Gastonia are extensively trained in locating and identifying pests, safely handling them, and effectively treating infestations without putting you and your loved ones at risk.
