Bye Bye Pests: Tips To Finally Get Rid Of Them All
What's that sound? Could it be a mouse in the walls? Or is it cockroaches? Gross! No matter what pest inhabits your location, it's time to get them out for good. Read this article in full to find a plethora of methods for dealing with pesky critters once and for all.
One of the ways that you can prevent mosquitoes from coming to your house is to eliminate the standing water that you have outdoors. This can be anything from a puddle to a kiddy pool, as you will want to drain all the water in these, especially in the summer.
If you are apprehensive about using chemical pest control in your home, try traps instead. Physical traps work to attract the pest and then trap it. Some work like traditional mouse traps that snap closed and kill the pest, while others involve a sticky sheet that adheres the pest to the sheet so you can remove it from your home.
Consider using a perimeter spray outside your home to keep bugs at bay. Cover your home's foundation, porch, steps and spaces near windows and doors. When spraying, look for small cracks where pests can come in. Use caulk or something similar to seal these areas.
If you believe that you have a bat in the house, leave a window open overnight. Try to pick one that is located close to where you think the bat might be. These pests follow the air current, so they should go right back outside if they have a way to exit the premises.
Did you know that bugs and pests can get into your home through cracks or holes in your walls? Inspect the outside of your home for any cracks or holes. Depending on the type of material your home is made of, fill them with caulk to keep out the bugs and pests.
Check to see that all of your food is airtight and sealed efficiently. If food source is not sealed properly, it will give off an odor, which will attract a wide range of insects. This could lead to an infestation, which can cost you a lot of time and money in the long run.
Before you attempt to get rid of any pests, you must identify them. Not knowing what kind of pests you're dealing with can lead to using ineffective methods or methods that make the situation worse. By properly identifying the type of pests you're dealing with, you can develop control measures that can get rid of them.
Be very careful if employing poisonous pest control traps, especially the variety designed to kill ants. These traps contain poisoned food that ants bring to the queen who will consume it and hopefully die. However, the main ingredient of this poison is peanut butter which pets might enjoy, so keep them away from the traps.
If you're using mulch, don't mulch all the way to the side of your home. Leave a gap about half a foot in length between the mulch and your outdoor wall. This will give you (or any exterminator) a better ability to see if any pests (like termites) are crawling from the mulch onto your outdoor wall.
Use peanut butter in your mousetrap. Many people follow the old tradition of using a piece of cheese, but the truth is that is does not works nearly as good as peanut butter does. Cheese goes stale and does not have nearly as strong of an odor. Use peanut butter and see how much faster it is to get rid of the rodent.
