What key things attract pests?

Pests and people are not so different in some ways, and thus are attracted to similar things. Easy meals, a cozy place to raise a family and as nearby water source. It is a story we hear all too often, pests find these places inside our homes. Repairs being delayed and overall poor maintenance can quickly become an open invitation for rodents and other pests to enter. Once inside, it only takes a bit of food and water to make them to stay. It is no secret that the food scraps found in trash attract pests and rodents. Avoid infestations by properly sealing up your trash and storing it in closed containers.

How can I stop pests getting into my home?

Houses that are on the older side can start to wear down causing cracks and gaps to become more evident in the walls etc. Similarly, the weatherproofing can deteriorate while the paint begins to gradually fade. Bugs and other pests prefer houses with more substantial wear and tear because they can invade the premises easier and set up shop.

If you happen to have uninvited pests lurking in the darker spots of your home, it is for the best that you have a pest control company conduct inspections and treatment.
