Precautions to Take During a Pest Control Service at Your Home

A pest infestation can be a nightmare for homeowners. Pests can damage your house and also cause health issues. Keeping a house clean is not enough, enlisting a pest control service is important if you want to eliminate any possibility of pest infestations in the house.

Here are the precautions you should take before and after pest control.

Before

Keep the Furniture Aside

Place all the large furniture and appliances in one separate room. This will allow the exterminators to examine the rest of the house properly. They’ll be able to reach crevices and cracks where bugs usually live. This also saves the furniture from getting damaged.

Cover Personal Belongings and Valuables

Cover your personal belongings such as clothes, cosmetics, and children’s toys with plastic wraps and safely put them away in cabinets. If you want to go the extra mile, cover the spaces between drawers with duct tape.

Pack the kitchen

Clear all the kitchen counters and place everything such as utensils, bottles, bowls etc. in storage boxes. The kitchen is one of the most common places for pests to reside in. Don’t leave anything in the cabinets and move the small kitchen appliances. If you cannot move them, cover them with plastic. Also cover water sources such as taps with plastic, if possible.

After

Wait Patiently

The most crucial part after a pest control round is to wait before entering your house again. Pest control is done with strong, harmful chemicals that can cause damage to humans and pets as well. Only enter your house after the extermination company tells you to do so.

Dispose of any Food That was Left Out

there was any food left behind, throw it away. Even if you got eco-friendly and organic pesticides, the food is still not safe to consume.

Deep Clean the House

You will have to deep clean the whole area thoroughly. Make sure you clean the toxic coating and additives from the house’s surface. Wipe other items such as doorknobs, wall hangings, and appliances to remove any chemical residue. A deep cleaning of the house will prevent the infestation from recurring.

Close Unwanted Openings

After the pest control treatment, it’s important to seal all openings and holes that might allow pests and mice in the house. Blocking access will prevent future pest infestation in your house.
