Pest control refers to the management of bugs or rodents that wreak havoc on crops and homes. Keeping your home free from pests can be a grueling task if the infestation is not prevented or controlled on time. Dealing with these irritating creatures can be difficult on your own. It can be time-consuming and almost maddening when you think you have the pests eradicated and they make a sudden comeback. You do not have to live with these pests and the problems they bring, but you do need to know how to combat them successfully.

Keep in mind that problems with insects and rodents will continue to occur unless you are very proactive. You should take care of the situation as soon as you realize that you have a problem. Otherwise, the pests will continue to multiply and you will have a more serious issue on your hands.

How To Prevent Infestations

·  Do you notice any signs of damage to wood structures in the space? This could be an indication of termites. Walk around the home and look for any sawdust or any trails leading from the building out into the yard. Then, call a professional to inspect the level of damage.

·  It is a good idea to remove debris, fallen trees, and piles of leaves or dirt from the area around the building. It is also a good idea to keep the grass trimmed. This allows you to see any signs of problems before they become significant.

·  Do you have problems with wildlife? This can happen even if there are no wooded areas around your home. The problem is that something is drawing those creatures into your yard. It could be the presence of trashcans or open containers of water. Remove those to see significant improvements.

·  For most people, preventative needs start in the early spring. This is when the initial problems begin to be noticeable, especially in colder climates. Calling out a professional now can actually help prevent problems in the long term. This can help with flies, rodent problems, and ants.

Pest Control Advice When Buying a New Home

Unusual Pest Hiding Places

·  Mud tubes (used by termites to reach a food source) on the exterior of the home

·  Softwood in the home that sounds hollow when tapped

·  Darkening or blistering of wood structures

·  Small piles of feces that resemble sawdust near a termite nest

·  Discarded wings near doors or on windowsills indicating swarmers have entered the home

While the above are signs of an active termite infestation, it’s important that prospective homebuyers are also aware of situations that could be attracting pests to the home. When touring a property, here are some additional things to keep an eye out for, and how to mitigate their effects should you move forward with purchasing:

Pest Attack Wood

Many homeowners keep firewood stacked against their homes for easy access. However, this can actually draw termites toward the home and provide a point of entry.

Tip: Keep pest attack wood and woodpiles at least 20 feet away from the home and store wood on raised platforms at least 5 inches from the ground.

Pest Attracted Gutters

Pests are attracted to moisture, and clogged gutters can cause water to pool and make insulation vulnerable to termites.

Tip: Diver rainwater away from the foundation with down-spout extenders, and install splash blocks to prevent water from pooling and attracting pests.

Mulch

Mulch is frequently used against the foundation of a home and can serve as a source of food and moisture for termites.

Tip: Minimise the usage of wood mulch and keep it at least 15 inches from the home’s foundation. Monitor existing mulch for any signs of termite activity in business Management Articles, especially below the surface.
