Most people don’t expect to become roommates with a destructive pest, but if it happens it’s important to be prepared. We can find your unwanted guests and help you get them from your home by many different methods, However the other part of the equation is eliminating the cause of the infestation to dissuade them from coming back again. Here are some common reasons you may be dealing with an infestation and how to deal with it, so it doesn’t happen again.
A Poorly Organized Home
It can be hard to keep track of everything that comes into your home. Over years you bring things in a little at a time and the next thing you know you are surrounded with a mess of belongings. It can be confusing to keep track of where things go and if that time that it truly comes in handy will ever really happen. Not only is clutter difficult to manage but it creates a perfect environment to house all sorts of infestations from rodents, bed bugs, termites and more.

It can be difficult if you are attached to your belongings but keep in mind that living with these infestations is not only unsettling but a real health hazard as rodents and insects can spread disease and continue to damage the integrity and value of your home.
Neglected Home Maintenance
For most homeowners, your house is your greatest asset. However, over years of working, running from event to event, getting kids back and forth to school as well as extracurricular activities can make it all too easy to let home maintenance projects slide. The longer you go without keeping up with your home, the more severe and expensive these projects become. In addition, in the case of termites, it gives them more of a chance to truly move into your home, set up colonies and threaten the integrity of your home. As a homeowner be sure to regularly inspect these areas of your home seasonally to monitor for damage which could signal an infestation:
- Exterior walls
- HVAC system
- Windows
- Chimney
- Roof
- Interior Walls
- Ceilings
A Messy Home
Let’s face it, it’s not always easy to keep up with a cleaning schedule. To do it right it can feel like a full-time job and often we just don’t have the time. Still, It is important to put a little time aside every week to keep up with your home. Clutter from the week needs to be put away and taken out to the trash so you can have surfaces exposed to dust, vacuum sweep, and mop all your surfaces. Letting these important tasks build up can turn into a serious issue as it creates the perfect environment for rodents and insects to fester and thrive in your house. Nests become large and prolific and can often mean very expensive home repairs that you may not have budgeted for. If you suspect you have an infestation, take the time to put away items. If cleaning is not your thing, we recommend investing in a professional clean-up crew to make sure everything is tidy. This allows us to come in, locate the problem and use the most effective method to end your infestation once and for all.
