Tips for dealing with pests
Perhaps you are getting irritated because your house has become a breeding ground for termites, bugs, and other insects. These parasites should be exterminated, and there are some tips that you can follow before you call a professional. You can do all of this at home:
- You should change your exterior lights to sodium vapour from mercury vapour to reduce the attractiveness that it radiates to the insects. Those parasites will be no longer attracted to your house.
- You should always eliminate all leftover foods and do not leave it open. Instead, you can stash it in your garbage can and tie it tightly using a bungee strap or anything for that matter.
- You could also try installing strands of electric wire around the area to prevent them from barging into your house.
- Stop using bug bombs as much as possible because the effectiveness is questionable and it can even pose a threat to the health of the homeowner and family members.
- If you want to eliminate fire ants in your yard, you can try the mound treatment as well as the broadcast granule method. This can help you in eliminating them fast and quickly.
- Replace the weather-striping on your outdoor doors as often as needed. Also, you should consider replacing your door sweeps because all it takes is a 1 and 1/6 inches for them to enter your house.
