The last thing that you want is a house full of roaches, yet even the cleanest, most modern homes can have a pest control problem. The only way to avoid this problem permanently is to use the proper techniques for pest control. If a home is currently pest free there is no reason to assume it is going to stay that way without the proper maintenance. Read on to learn about methods of maintain a pest free home.
The fact that if a home is to remain free of pests it must be kept clean is very clear. The thing is that you have to make sure you are cleaning the right things at the right intervals. It is not enough to make sure that everything is in its place. Cleaning a home to keep the pests away means cleaning the cabinets, microwave interior, storage areas, behind appliances, and other areas that can harbor conditions favorable to pests. Remember that even the smallest crumb left on the floor between the stove and cabinet can make a great feast to a pest. In order to keep the bugs away a home must be kept free of such spills. This might call for extra work, but having a clean, pest-free home is well worth the trouble.
At least once a month be sure to do a visual inspection of the corners, under sinks, and other areas where pests might hide. Watch out for water leaks and cracks in the walls. Be sure to caulk up any cracks or holes in the wall as soon as possible. Even the smallest crack can serve as an entry way for bugs. To keep them from getting in you must block up the way. Houses can develop these small cracks over time so it is important to check for them often.
Minimize the amount of storage items that are kept in the house. Roaches and other bugs love to live in stacked up papers and old boxes. It is important to keep only what you need in the house and immunize clutter. If there are things that you must keep, try using a storage shed in another area of the property instead of keeping these items in the home. With a home that is free of clutter and stacked up items bugs will have no place to run and hide.
Use plenty of lavender and lemon in the house. Bugs hate real lemon oils and lavender. Use lemon oil mixed in water to mop down floors, wipe counters, and spray. The smell will keep the bugs away. The same thing goes for lavender. If your favorite cleaning products come in these scents then use them. Other fragrances may smell nice, but bugs like the smell of them as well.
At least once or twice a year call a professional. Let them come out and access your house and render treatment. This helps you be confident that your methods are working. The pest control professional can identify anything that might present a problem and the treatments they perform helps your work to be more effective.
