Nearly all homeowners have had to deal with pests at one point or another. Educate yourself about pest control and different efficient methods to get rid the kind of pest you are dealing with. With the right information, you can prevent pests from moving into your home in the first place.
Once you eliminate fruit flies, do they seem to keep returning? The source of your problem may be your drain. Put some plastic over the drain to see. If they do, pour some boiling water down your drain and give it a good scrub. This should eradicate the fruit fly problem.
Begin at the beginning. If you have a pest problem, eliminate their food source. Things such as food, water and available shelter all make your home tempting to pests. Locate and get rid of leaks, food, and any way to get into your home.
Check local codes to ensure that you use full content approved pest treatments. Spraying down a locally banned chemical can backfire if you try and sell your home later. That is rare, but it should make you research which products are successful and allowed.
Do not buy a new home before getting an inspector to look at it first. You might be able to spot some signs of pest damage, but it is hard to recognize which type of pest you are dealing with until you actually spot some bugs or rodents into the home.
If you think you have cleared up a bedbug infestation, think again. Bedbugs can hibernate an entire year. So be sure to close any holes in the floors and walls. Bedbugs will disappear if they have nowhere to hide.
As was mentioned earlier, nearly all homeowners must deal with pest issues at one point or another. Keep your home pest-free with these tips. Take action today!
