Pests come in many shapes and sizes; mosquitoes, wasps, spiders, ants, roaches, and more. Some bite or sting, some damage your belongings, and some may even spread life-threatening diseases. Pest infestations are a common problem in Lake Nona homes. If your home has fallen victim to one pest species or another, follow these tips to get rid of pests in your home:
- Place traps around your home in areas where you think pests are active. Different types of traps exist for almost every species of pest, and you may want to consider using more than one kind to yield the best results.
- Keep all of the food in your kitchen – and anywhere else – securely stored to keep pests from getting into it. Convenient access to food is often what draws pests into homes, so diligently keeping them out of it may drive them away.
- Fix any leaking pipes or drains promptly. Pests are often drawn by standing water, and leaks can cause wood rot, which will attract wood-boring pests like termites to your home.
- Thoroughly clean your house and get rid of clutter in areas like the basement and garage. Pests are drawn to clutter, which provides them many places to hide, while a clean and decluttered home offers significantly fewer areas of refuge.
- Work with a professional pest control company in the Lake Nona area. Using advanced treatments, professional pest exterminators will be able to get rid of all pests within your home and perform exclusion measures to prevent them from popping up again.
