Pest Control Fort Lauderdale Expert Prevention Tips


Pests and rodents aren’t just a nuisance which get up to mischief, but they can also severely damage the your home and your family. In fact, some pests contain deadly viruses and bacteria that can be lethal especially for children and elderly aged people.
As such, preventing infestation of pests within your Fort Lauderdale property is critical in protecting your home, businesses, schools and any other places where humans are living.
Here are some of our best tips for preventing infestation and ensuring that correct pest prevention guidelines are in place.
-Seal all of the cracks and holes on the outside of your home. This includes entry points for utilities and pipes, and places where an insect would generally be able to enter your home. One of the most common areas this happens is around drain pipes where the brick isn’t even with the pipe.
-Keep trees and branches, shrubbery and plants/weeds trimmed place them far away from the house – as much as physically possible.
-Keep your basement, attic and crawl spaces ventilated. In addition, ensure that they are as dry as possible. If there is a leak in your home, you should always aim to prevent and fix the leak quickly.
Pest Prevention and Sanitation
-Store your garbage in sealed containers such as high-strength, durable black bin bags. Once sealed and stored, dispose of it as quickly as possible. Garbage attracts pests, so keeping garbage away keeps the pests away.
-Repair rotted roof shingles and fascia as quickly as possible. Some insects and pests are drawn and attracted to wood that has become deteriorated.
-Repair loose mortar around your basement’s foundation and windows, and ensure that weather-stripping is replaced as necessary.
-Fire wood should be stored away from your home completely. The wood should be at least 25 ft away from your house and at least five inches off the ground.
