Prevent Pest Damage

Pests like rodents and insects in your home are not only a nuisance, but can also cause considerable damage. Once they get indoors they can be difficult- and expensive – to remove. That’s why the best way to protect your home from these pests is to prevent them from entering in the first place. Here are some simple steps you can take.
Clean and vacuum regularly. A clean home is less enticing to pests so set up a schedule for weekly housekeeping chores.
Take care of food and garbage. Store food in tightly sealed containers. Never leave food out on counter tops or tables. Compost or use your garbage disposal when possible or wrap garbage before throwing away. Wash garbage cans regularly.
Reduce clutter. Piles of old papers, clothing or other accumulated materials are good breeding and hiding places for pests. Sort and discard what you can.
Seal possible entrances. Insects and even rodents do not need much room to enter your home. Inspect doorways and windows for cracks. Apply caulk and/or weather stripping where needed. Make sure window screens are in good condition.
If you encounter termites, call a professional exterminator to kill them. Then call us to repair the damage. WE DO TERMITE DAMAGE REPAIRS!
