Five Ways Pests Can't Be Attracted

Nov 28

If you find one bug, one rat, or another pest in your business you know you have a bigger problem. Pests are expensive for businesses each year and cause a lot damage. They can cause irreparable damage to your business' reputation, property, and goodwill, as they can also threaten the health of customers and employees and lower productivity. That is what we all want, but where should you start?

There are many approaches you can take, but none is universal. Each strategy must be used individually, but a combination of them will give the best coverage. If you are unsure how to handle pest control in your home, or need expert advice, a business firm may be able to help.

TRAPS

Traps could be an option if you have rats or mice instead of insects. These could come in the form of box traps and mouse traps. This pest control method traps the pests and keeps them away until they can be properly eliminated.

BAITING

To manage rodent or insect populations, you can use baits together with traps. A few baits, such as insecticides, diatomaceous clay, and even common pantry products, can be used to attract pests into a trap. Other baits are used to attract pests but also attack the source. These baits lure the pests to eat poisons and then return home to colonize the poison to eliminate the entire population.

CHEMICALS

Both homeowners and pest control professionals use insecticides and repellents to get rid of pests. These pesticides are available in hardware shops and other retailers. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions. These firms provide all the information and support you need, whether you don't feel comfortable using chemicals or are interested in eco-friendly alternatives.

INSECTS THAT ARE GOOD - FOR YOU

If you have an insect problem it might seem counterintuitive. However, certain insects that damage garden plants or outside foliage have natural predators you could release outside to reduce the problem. It's as easy to conduct some research about the helpful insects available, get them from a catalog or other service, and then release them outside. This will solve the problem naturally.

PREVENTION

It is important to include pest prevention in any commercial pest control plan. Preventing pests from getting in is a great way to keep them away. However, it can also help deter their return if they do get into your property. These are the three main areas that you need to be mindful of when keeping pests out. A commercial pest management service can help with this.

1. Doors

It is impossible for anything to get in if all the doors are closed. Pests can easily enter your home through the doors, windows, and vents. It is possible for pests to enter your home through the plumbing or supplies.

2. Water and Food

It is essential that all living things have food and water in order to survive. Pests aren’t as picky as people so keep your building clean. When it comes down to the water, you should check plumbing, fountains, and toilets as well as leaky or broken drains and condensation from an Air Conditioning Unit.

3. Assure a safe haven

Your structure should not be a breeding ground for pests. Pests prefer dark, quiet spaces to build homes and raise their children. A clean facility will help reduce the possibility of pests' nesting.
