Useful Tips - Three ways to prevent pest infestations in the long term
- Take care of your lawn and garden - Pests are drawn to all sorts of things; woodpiles attract termites, leftover vegetable garden plants entice rats and mice.
- Keep kitchen and dining areas clean - Dirty plates are a cockroach's best friend. Also, regular vacuuming will pick up insects. Dry items can be stored in plastic containers.
- Seal your property - Sealing your property will not only help you save money on energy bills, but it will also help you keep unwanted pests away from your house 24/7.
