Ways to Protect Your Home From Pests
It’s spring and your backyard will be booming with life. It’s lovely to see the new flowers enjoying the sunshine but it also means there will be a whole host of new insects and animals to go with them. Some of these creatures are quite adept at getting into your home and causing an infestation. Here’s how to avoid one this summer and keep your home pest-free.
But I want to add that if none of these tips work you need to consider calling a professional like St. Lawrence Pest Control, a Pest Control Kingston company that provides pest control services to residential and commercial customers. Professionals like these will offer a wide range of services including termite inspections, rodent control, and mosquito treatments.
ANTS
Ants are an extremely common form of household pest, especially in the summer months. There are thousands of species of ants including the common carpenter ant which can get into your woodwork and gnaw at it. Ants can also spread germs.
If you want to free your home from an infestation of ants this summer you need to change some of your habits that might encourage them indoors. Always put away your shopping and sweep up crumbs. Also wash dishes soon after use.
COCKROACHES
They say that cockroaches could survive a nuclear disaster and that’s probably right. They have an exoskeleton, some plates covered by a membrane, that can survive being stepped on. They can eat pretty much anything and survive for weeks without food.
If you have an infestation of cockroaches They will probably live in the walls somewhere. You might hear them in the walls or see them occasionally on the kitchen floor or flying around. The only thing to do is call pest control.
MOTHS
The summer is a time for beautiful butterflies to arrive in the garden, it’s also a time for their cousins to arrive in your home. Moths. Moths are related to butterflies categorically but they have evolved in different ways. Moths have different eyes more suited to low light, they also eat your clothes.
If you have a moth problem in your home you might find them on your window sill or inside your lamps. You might also discover holes in your clothes. You can find out how to get rid of clothes moths naturally and quickly at the Bluelink.
RODENTS
If you have per rodents you probably think they are pleasant and adorable. This Might be the case if they are friendly and have cute names. But if you don’t know them and they live in your walls or under your floors then that’s an issue.
Rodent pests in your home can spread disease, eat your food, and damage your property by chewing through wires. If you only have a few mice you can use some humane traps, otherwise, your best and probably the only option is to call pest control.
SPIDERS
As with ants there are thousands of species of spider in the world, but the type you find in your home won’t be poisonous with big teeth and hairy legs. They are more likely to be small and harmless although they can spread disease.
Spiders tend to accumulate in dark dry areas which are numerous in the summer. Here they can breed and cause an infestation. Spiders eat bugs and the best way to eliminate them from your home is to control their food source.
