Working with an animal removal company to eliminate pests is a great idea. However, proper pest control is necessary to prevent them from coming back or invading your home in the first place. Luckily, our company specializes in both. According to IBISWorld, as of 2022, the pest control industry consists of 31,453 companies across the United States. Many of these companies employ unique pest prevention tactics to help you stay pest-free. This article will review some of the best ways that we together can prevent pests from taking over your property.

Eliminate Access

Pests want food, water, and shelter. One of the easiest ways to prevent them from coming into your home is by eliminating access to these things. We can help you by figuring out where there may be leaks in your water, which can attract them. Additionally, rodents can chew through regular containers if they wind up in your cabinets. To prevent this from occurring, you should store your food in thick plastic containers. We can also help ensure that there is a locking lid on your outdoor trash bins in order to prevent raccoons from settling nearby. We will also work with you to remove excessive trash or debris on your property to eliminate opportunities for shelter.

Seal Entrances

Pests often enter a house through gaps or cracks in the house. For example, vents in the attic can create large openings for raccoons and mice to come inside. Our company can cover entry points with wire mesh if they are significantly large. We can also seal cracks along your foundation with caulk to ensure mice and other pests can't squeeze into your home. Our animal removal company can also help you find other areas that pests may use as an entrance to your house.

Clean Your House

Maintaining a clean house is imperative to preventing pests. Clean up food and spills immediately. Avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink, which can be tempting for pests. It’s essential to clean the kitchen every night after dinner. Avoid excessive clutter. Clutter makes it easy for pests to hide out of sight, which is why garages and attics are so popular among pests. We can take a look at your garage and attic spaces with you to see if we can find evidence of unwanted critters hiding in those spaces.
