In any home, one of the main concerns that most people face is
a termite or pest infestation. Such is the nuisance that it has
destroyed several homes and every year, millions of worth of properties
are wasted due to an infestation. For successful removal of these pests, observe the following steps.
Identifying the problem: Before implementing any solution, it is
necessary to ascertain the problem from its root. What kind of termites
and pests are infesting, what kind of solution is needed is one of the
few things you should cater to.
Removal of any stagnant water.
Water that has accumulated for a long time breeds these organisms. If
you have any standing water in your house or offices, remove them
immediately. Some of the things that you can do is fixing leaking pipes
and change the water in plant pots.
Keep the kitchen in tip top
condition. Kitchens are where most of your garbage will be and that why
it is important to empty the trash can every day. Things like half eaten
fruits, vegetables, food crumbs will only attract insects.
Keep
food in containers. If you are keeping your food intact in fridges,
then that's a different thing altogether. But if it's out in the open,
make sure it is kept in air tight containers. Besides keeping your food
fresh, it will also prevent insects from feasting on it.
Keep
your home clutter free. Vacuum carpets regularly along with corners of
your house. If there are stacks of newspapers or magazines in your house
or home appliances have dust in them, you should clean them
immediately.
Make sure doors and windows are sealed. Often
rodents and other insects enter houses through unclosed windows and
doors. Precisely for this reason, you should ensure that all doors and
windows are sealed properly, and there are no openings, however, short
it may be.
