Expert Advice That You Need About Pest Control Have you ever had to call the exterminator to take care of a pest problem in your home? How happy were you when you got the bill from them? You do not need to shell out all that cash to eliminate the pests from your home. Below, you will find free tips on how to get rid of the pests for good. Before you decide to rid your home of pests you should consider the moral implications. For example, if you have a mouse problem you may want a method that just removes them, but does not kill them. These days most exterminators offer this to their customers, but it may be somewhat more expensive. One of the ways that you can prevent mosquitoes from coming to your house is to eliminate the standing water that you have outdoors. This can be anything from a puddle to a kiddy pool, as you will want to drain all the water in these, especially in the summer. Keep in mind that pests are not fond of the same air you are. Your home might not have been designed for proper ventilation in crawl spaces and the attic. However, these spaces need sufficient ventilation so that the environments within them are not suitable to pests who might come in. Wear protective clothing prior to using any sprays or powders to kill pests. Oftentimes these methods are also harmful to humans if ingested. Your better safe than sorry, so put on gloves and clothing that covers your skin completely. Wash your clothing right after the application of these items so that no residue can affect you later. Inspect any seeds or houseplants before you buy them and bring them home. You want to check for current signs of insects. You also want to look for disease issues that might attract insects. Never put something in your home that would attract bugs or pests in the wild outdoors. If you have a water leak, fix it promptly. Water attracts pests. They are able to sense even a drop of water from a great distance. Never be the cause of your pest problem. Preventative measures can do so much. If trees fall, dispose of them. Cut the trunk and the branches for firewood. You can use it, sell it or just give it away. Don't just leave the stump there. Stumps can easily attract termites to your home. When you are doing landscaping on your home, you want to plant any bushes or plants at least a foot away from your home. You will experience less issues with spiders and ants getting into your house this way. They will not be attracted to your home if they are further away. If you own a recreational vehicle that you don't use in the winter, you've probably noticed that mice sometimes find their way inside. You can discourage them with use of these natural repellents. Smaller bags of repellent can smell good and do not have a poisonous effect, yet can keep mice away. Make sure that all of your windows and doors have mesh screens. Make sure that all the screens are in securely and are repaired if necessary. Be sure to use a fine mesh for screens as this is a larger deterrent for pests. Check your door and window seals as well for any points of entry. Now you should see just how easily you can reclaim your home from those pests. It is not going to cost you nearly what it would to pay someone to come out and set a few traps. Set your own traps and capture your own pests without paying for it for the next month. |
