There are three main reasons to prepare your home for a pest control service. The first reason is to make the most out of the pest control treatments. With a little work ahead of time, you can greatly increase the likelihood that all pests will be eradicated. The other reason is to protect your home and your possessions. While pest control services are safe for your home, make sure your technicians know about any pets, plants, or vulnerable possessions. The third reason is to make things safe for your technicians. If your technicians cannot move freely and safely through your property, they may not be able to complete a treatment.
Preparing a Home for Pest Treatments
Aside from termite treatments, home preparation for most pest-control treatments involves maintaining proper cleanliness within your house. After all, prevention is just as important as elimination, and when you can keep pests from getting into your home, you don't have to call in professional pest management!
What does preparation involve? Consider taking the following steps:
• Clear sinks of any dirty dishes
• Eliminate any standing water in and around your home
• Vacuum regularly
• Wipe down counter tops
• Place all food and perishable items in airtight containers whenever possible
• Dispose of/put away all paper goods and products
• Pack clothing away in dressers or closets
• Eliminate clutter where critters could hide
After a pest control treatment, you may notice that your pest infestation dramatically reduces almost immediately. Over time, fewer and fewer pests will find your home comfortable, but that doesn't mean you should relax. Keep a sharp eye out for any signs that pests have returned and make sure to contact experts right away.
