1. PEST
PREVENTION
- Best Practices

2. Many of the best practices
for pest control are ones that you may
already have in place.
Reviewing these strategies is another
opportunity to secure further your
residence or commercial property
against a pest invasion.

3. Don’t Give Them an Opening

4. Insects and wildlife don’t recognize
property boundaries.
Instead, they’ll look for the easiest
route to gain access to food, water,
and a warm place for their nests.

5. Keeping doors and windows sealed
is essential for preventing infestations.
If you can see a crack or hole, you can
assume that pests can make it through.

6. Doing some minor building repairs
throughout the year keeps critters
outside where they belong.

7. Maintain Beautiful Landscaping

8. It just so happens that the things
humans find desirable in a lawn
are the same features that deter pests.
Rodents prefer tall grass that hides
their paths, and mosquitoes reproduce
in stagnant water.

9. Overgrown branches provide an easy
way for pests to reach the roof
and exterior walls of a building.
Keeping the landscaping trimmed
and free of debris means that pests
will be less likely to hide out there.

10. Remove Hiding Spots
and Nesting Materials

11. Cluttered areas are havens for pests
that need somewhere to hide
from predators.
Spiders and cockroaches often hide
out around boxes, piles of clothing,
and paper trash.

12. Rodents frequently tear up paper,
wood, and cardboard to create nests
for their young.
Reducing these materials on your
property gives them fewer places
to feel safe.

13. Clean Up Food
and Water Sources

14. Most people already know to keep
food crumbs swept up and out
of the pantry shelves.
You might still have some less obvious
sources of food and water around
your property.

15. At home, make sure that pet food
is removed once your dog or cat
is finished eating.
Ants, mice, and other insects
sometimes view this as a savory
food source.

16. Hidden water leaks attract pests.
Check around pipes and fixtures
to ensure that there aren’t any small
leaks that insects or rodents can use
to stay hydrated.

17. Outdoor areas that collect rainwater
are additional areas that might need
remediation to keep dry.

18. Check Incoming Packages
and Furniture

19. Pest problems spread quickly when
people accidentally transfer them to
their property from somewhere else.
Bed bugs are notorious for living in
used mattresses and couches.

20. Inspecting secondhand items for signs
of bugs or eggs can catch
this problem early.

21. Pantry pests, such as moths
and weevils, are often transported
in food packaging.
Try to avoid bringing boxes into
the building that are damaged.

22. Transferring pantry staples into
a covered plastic container is a further
measure that you can take to prevent
insects from getting to your food.

23. Act On the Slightest Sign
of Pest Activity

24. The food chain plays a significant role
in how fast a pest problem can spread.
Larger rodents feed on insects
such as cockroaches and ants.

25. This means that an insect issue can
quickly spiral into a wildlife problem
as well.

26. Addressing minor signs of an infestation
early on means that it can be brought
under control before more prominent
unwanted guests use your property
as a food source.

27. Preventing pests requires constant
attention to the current environment
at your home or business.
With seasonal changes come new threats
as pest populations grow and look
for resources.

28. Make regular inspections for pest activity
a part of your prevention plan,
and you’ll know when to use additional
control measures.
