Spring has arrived, and you can expect spring pests to make their way into your home searching for food. During winter, rodents and insects remain inactive, but once winter is gone, they are back. Here are some practical tips for pest control that will help prevent annoying pests from entering your property and creating havoc.
Insects
Flies
- Clean food spills and crumbs on the benchtops and the floor.
- Ensure good sanitation inside your home, as flies love to linger in poorly maintained areas.
- Discard garbage correctly and keep rubbish containers properly closed to avert possible temptation.
Mosquitoes
- Ensure you never leave bottles or jars open, filled with water, as they can become a breeding place for mosquitoes.
- It would help if you grew some mosquito-repelling plants around your home.
Moths
Don’t keep your outdoors lighted as moths prefer to linger around in the lighted area.
Roaches
- Keep your rooms lighted as roaches prefer staying in dark places.
- Keep away all food temptations, such as food crumbs and juice spills.
- Always keep the sink, area around your sink and dishes clean.
- Make sure you keep the pet dish clean.
- Get rid of moisture areas, including wet floors, leaking pipes, dripping taps etc.
Spiders
When you do everything to keep all insects away from your home, you also succeed in keeping spiders at bay.
Termites
Most of the time, people notice the termite invasion only after substantial damage. To shield yourself from potential expensive damages in the future, get your property examined by a pest professional at the earliest.
Birds
- Birds get attracted to food that remains around your home. So make sure food is not freely accessible around your home.
- If you discover that a flock of birds is regularly visiting your property and increasing in number, contact a pest professional immediately.
Rodents & Possums
- It is essential to clean the mess in the house regularly.
- Next, clean all food temptations like food spills and crumbs on the floor, dirty dishes, food items not correctly wrapped and leftover pet food.
- Closing entry points, including all holes, cracks, crevices, and damaged tunnels or pipes, is imperative.
- Always keep your food items in your containers and jars with a proper lid.
- Protect all your vents, windows and doors by installing screens.
