How to Prevent Pest Infestations in Your Stamford Home

No one wants to live with pests in the house, but preventing infestations before they start is the best way. Several steps can be taken proactively by Stamford homeowners to keep pests away and avoid the headaches that come along with an infestation. Begin by sealing cracks and crevices around windows, doors, and other openings. No matter how small the crack may be, insects can slip through it. So, make sure to check all potential entry areas and seal them up with caulk or weatherstripping. The most basic way of avoiding an infestation is to not let pests into your home.
Maintaining cleanliness is another important aspect of pest prevention. Pests are attracted by food sources and moisture, so one must ensure that the living and especially kitchen and bathroom areas are clean and dry. Food should always be stored in covered containers, emptied garbage frequently, and crumbs or spills cleaned up immediately. Fix leaky faucets and ensure the house is well-ventilated, which will eliminate damp spaces in the home that attract pests such as cockroaches and termites. The home will then not be attractive with bugs settling inside.
Another step to maintain your yard. Pests can use overgrown plants, tall grass, and dense shrubs as highways to easily find their way into your house. Cut back all overgrowth, and keep trees or bushes away from your walls or roofline. With these natural bridges removed, it will be more difficult for the pests to find their highway into your house. These easy actions will significantly lessen the possibility of infestation. However, if you start noticing some unwanted little tenants, don't hesitate to contact your local professional Bug House Exterminator for a complete inspection and treatment.
