As many of us are breathing a sigh of relief as we watch the temperature start to drop lower and lower, there are pests that are anxiously looking for a way to get inside your home. Pests don’t go away with the summer season. In fact, some of them will be more prevalent, and their diligence in getting inside will increase. When homeowners put some pest control measures in place and work with a professional pest control company, there is no chance they are going to find the shelter they are looking for in your home. Effective Pest Services is here to share some tips to help you keep pests away this fall.
Keep Them Out of Your Home
There are several things that homeowners can do to seal up their homes and keep pests out no matter how cold the weather gets outside. Here are some tips to ensure your home is sealed up tight:
– Make sure there are screens on all windows, doors and vents that lead into your home.
– Keep your doors closed if they don’t have screens. Also, make sure you install door sweeps.
– Inspect your home for any cracks or holes. Seal them up if you find any.
Don’t Provide an Ideal Habitat for Pests
Rodents and pests are going to be looking for a place to hunker down as the cold settles in. make sure you aren’t providing that space for them in your landscape.
– If there are bushes, shrubs, and flowers near your home, clear them out so that there is no vegetation within 12 inches of your house. This protects your home against fire risks as well as pests.
– Remove any leaves and debris from the gutters as this is another popular nesting place for pests.
– If you have any firewood, make sure you are stacking it at least 20 feet away from your house.
Utilize Physical Control as Well as Pesticides
Not only should you be working with professional pest control as well as physical control methods. When you work with both of them together, there is an increased chance of keeping fall pests away.
– There are mechanical traps you can use to keep rodents from getting into your home. make sure that when you capture one of these rodents, you are disposing of them properly as they carry diseases.
– When you find spiders and other pests in your home, you can catch and release them outdoors as well as vacuum them up to get rid of them.
