The basic rules of preventing pests from becoming ongoing issues revolve around three things – food, water, and shelter.
The Environmental Protection Association (EPA) suggests protecting those three to gain maximum protection from all types of pests, ranging from ants, roaches and mosquitoes to mice, rats, and other invaders.
Storing food properly and making sure the waste is securely disposed of will help prevent pests from considering your home or business a source.
The same applies to water, making sure that water sources are not left in the open to allow mosquitoes, roaches, and other pests to breed into an infestation.
But shelter – this is the one part of pest control where you can easily prevent pests without having to control them. Did you know both rats and mice can squeeze under a doorway through a hole the size of a quarter?
So, a damaged warehouse or garage door can let rats and mice in, thus creating the start of an infestation. There’s a simply better way.
