KEEP YOUR HOME CLEAN
Pests like spaces that are dirty and damp. To keep infestations at bay, you want to keep your home clean and tidy. Be sure to use disinfectant cleaners to remove any dirt and food particles around the home to prevent pests from entering. Having a clean house will significantly reduce the number of pests entering your home. Make sure to clear and cover your drain to also keep the bathroom free from unwanted rodents.
STORE FOOD CORRECTLY
Food attracts most pests such as rats, bugs and insects like cockroaches and ants. These leave allergens and diseases in their wake. Cover all your food in your home and get rid of any overripe fruits and vegetables before they go off and attract pests into your home. Sealed jars are a great idea to have for keeping food stored away.
DISPOSE Rubbish
Rubbish has no place in your home. Make an effort to empty your bins everyday to avoid cockroaches and rodent infestation. It will also prevent the spread of diseases in your home.
DECLUTTER YOUR HOME
Clutter gives pests hiding space inside your home. So remove any unused boxes and sell,donate or throw out any items that you no longer require.
MINIMISE ENTRY POINTS
You want to minimise the entry points for pests to get into your home. Putting up nets on your windows and kitchen door helps to prevent or at least limit houseflies, mosquitoes, and spiders accessing your home. Make sure that you fix any broken window panes/glass and do repairs to the doors and block off any possible entry points.
MAINTAIN YOUR GARDEN
If you have a garden, you need to maintain it so that insects and rodents do not have an ideal environment to hide. Keeping your garden clean and neat will keep unwanted mosquitoes, rats and ants at bay.
