Dealing with pests can be a nightmare for both homeowners and businesses. They can cause damage to properties, pose unwanted health risks and create unnecessary stress.
The good news is that we can stop pests from bugging us in the first place by taking simple and efficient measures and avoid spending over the budget to tackle full-blown infestations.
Let us delve into some of these pest prevention measures.
1. Maintain cleanliness
Regularly clean your space by wiping down spills and removing food crumbs. Declutter items to eliminate potential harbourage spots for pests.
Maintain your yard and gardens by regularly trimming bushes, shrubs and trees that come into contact with the building to prevent pests from building bridges to the building.
By consistently maintaining cleanliness in your space, you create a pest-free environment and keep your sanity intact.
2. Proper waste disposal
Dispose your wastes in the right bins, both indoors and outdoors. Make sure the bins have tight-fitting lids to prevent the pests from getting inside.
Regularly empty the bins to avoid overflowing as this gives pests an ideal spot to hide and multiply.
By staying on top of your waste management, you cut off their food supply and hiding spots.
3. Seal entry points
Carry out routine inspection to your property for any entry points such as cracks or crevices around doors, windows, pipes and vents. The pests not only sneak in through the entry points but contaminate every surface they touch no matter how clean your space is.
Seal these entry points with caulk, board, mesh wire or other appropriate materials to keep them out.
This measure does not only keep pests out but protect your health, hygiene and gives you peace of mind.
