May 11

Cockroaches and termites can cause serious damage to your home. They also spread diseases. A Tampa Pest management service will get rid of these pests. Before you call a pest control company to get rid of them, these are the top 6 pest-control methods.

These are the top ten tips and tricks for controlling pests.

1. Maintain a clean kitchen.

A damp and filthy environment is conducive to pest infestations. For pest control, make sure to keep your kitchen surfaces, stovetop, racks, and drawers clean. Use a disinfecting wipe to clean them regularly. Also, food particles left out in open areas can attract more pests. While this will not completely eradicate your pest problem, it will drastically reduce the number of pests in your house. It is crucial to clean up after pest controls if you don’t want your home to be infested again.

2. Make sure your bathroom is clean

Bathroom pest management is usually not covered in pest control advice for apartments. The previous regulation applies to bathrooms. Make sure your bathroom is clean and dry. The toilet should be cleaned every other day using a toilet cleaner. You should clean the sink with a strong bathroom cleaner at least once every week. Make sure your shower curtain is clean and dry. Keep the drain free of hair and soap particles. Cover it all the time. These simple steps will allow you to keep your bathroom clean and pest free for a longer time.

3. Don't allow water to sit in containers.

In stagnant water, mosquitoes can thrive. Make sure you clean your house. Also, make sure your drains are clear. Staining water in drains can cause mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue or malaria. You should dry the buckets when you're not using them in the bathroom. You can do the same with kitchen utensils. A water-free air conditioner doesn't need to have a vessel underneath it. To transport the water, you might use a pipe or another alternative.

4. Don't leave vegetables and fruits out for too long.

Overripe fruit and vegetables attract flies and other insects. For long periods of storage, cut and ripe fruit should not be kept in the fridge. Some pests, like fruit flies, can be harmless. However, rotten fruits can attract larger pests like houseflies or ants. These pests are more difficult to eradicate.

5. It is important to dispose of garbage on a regular basis.

Many people are often confused about how to clean up the kitchen after treating pests. It is quite easy and requires garbage disposal. Garbage should not be disposed of more than once per day. Garbage accumulation may lead to rodent, cockroach, and rat infestations. You will notice food particles and other decaying materials throughout your home. This can cause disease transmission, especially for small children or pets.

6. Keep your garden in good shape.

If you have a lawn or garden, fill in the holes and pits where water could collect. If you have a water fountain or pond in your garden, make sure to clean it regularly. Regular pruning is a good way to avoid bushy, wild growth. Maintain a neat yard to prevent unwanted pests like ants, rats, and mosquitoes.
