to deal with the appearance of such nuisances is to arm yourself with knowledge. If you have already made it this far on our Imperial Pest Prevention webpage, you are well on your way to the best pest control provider around town. Review the tips and tricks that follow below and get the tools you need to eliminate common pests from your life starting today and going forward. Check to see if you have any centipedes or spiders around the house. Centipedes and spiders usually will prey on other bugs, so if you have a lot of them, you may be infested. In this case, the best thing that you can do is to hire a pest professional to help get rid of the issue in your home. Before you decide to rid your home of pests you should consider the moral implications. For example, if you have a mouse problem you may want a method that just removes them, but does not kill them. These days most exterminators offer this to their customers, but it may be somewhat more expensive. We are always open to calls for any pest control related questions you mat have at 386-956-9506. An easy way to control pests around your home is to always put food in air tight containers. Bugs are attracted all kinds of human food. When you reduce the access to this food by placing in air tight containers, you will reduce the chances of having a pest control problem. Eliminate pests naturally. Sometimes you don't need to resort to chemicals to control pests. That is correct, as much as we want you on board with us, we feel obligated to be honest with all of our customers and future potentials as well. Removing sources of water, food and shelter is one way to get rid of them. This is particularly effective in the case of rodents. If you have pets, don't leave food or water bowls outside, and ensure that you don't have any holes or cracks in the exterior of your home. If you live on a farm and have a problem with mice, or even rats, consider getting a couple outdoor cats to provide natural pest control. Make sure the cats have not been declawed, and have access to every part of the outdoor buildings. Make sure to provide food and water to the cats because they will still catch mice even if they are not hungry. Vacuuming your home on a weekly basis is the best way to get rid of pest. Use your vacuum on your mattress too if you have bed bugs. Replace the vacuum bag regularly and invest in a quality carpet cleaning mousse if you want to disinfect your entire home efficiently. That same outdoor lighting you use to keep intruders away at night, or light the path for your guests, may also be attracting pests. Choose bulbs in colors of pink, orange or yellow if you want pests to be less attracted. Imperial Pest Prevention has these for sale if you should need them. Just contact our staff and we will gladly bring them out on your next service and install them for you. Make sure that you mow your lawn frequently. Mowing your lawn is a great way to get rid of the excess matter that is in your front yard, and will kill some of the bugs left stranded. This is a good way to keep your area looking tidy, while reducing pests around your house. Unclog any drains that may have clogging issues. Pests are attracted to that type of organic material build up. Even just a minor clog can lead to roaches and flies entering your home. Picking up some sort of liquid de-clogger or a de-clogging snake tool will do the trick. Pests love a cluttered house! The more stuff you have laying around on the floor or shoved into cupboards, the more places they have to hide and thrive. In order to eliminate this, a good idea is to go through your entire place a couple of times a year and getting rid of things you no longer need or use. The less things you have, the less things they have to hide in and under. Use peanut butter in your mousetrap. Many people follow the old tradition of using a piece of cheese, but the truth is that is does not works nearly as good as peanut butter does. Cheese goes stale and does not have nearly as strong of an odor. Use peanut butter and see how much faster it is to get rid of the rodent. If you've got carpenter ants, you may have a bigger issue. They eat primarily wet wood, and therefore you likely have leaks as well as rotten wood. So, when you see


carpenter ants around your home, call in an expert pest control company to find out what the problem is. When you find centipedes in your home, it's likely you actually already have another pest living there. Centipedes eat smaller insects, so they are likely to have found a food source within your home. Check for other bugs to see if the issue is bigger than you first anticipated it to be. Mosquitoes can be a real nuisance in the warm summer months, and sometimes they seem to bite even when repellent is used. One great tip is to use a popular mouthwash as a repellent spray. Spray it on your clothing and the area where you will be spending time. It is a non-chemical form of repellent that is very effective. Make sure you try to keep termites out of your home before the invasion begins!


Grab a caulking gun and seal off any and all holes. Most holes they enter through are doors and window frames. Also make sure you keep the foundation of your home safe by sealing cracks and gaps there as well. One great thing you can do during certain times is to make sure there is no standing water on your lawn. After you water your landscape, this is important. When it rains, there isn't much you can do except to try to correct your landscape. What are you keeping out by doing this? Mosquitos. If you have bedbugs, you can try to deal with it on your own, but it's unlikely you'll solve the problem. You can wash all the linens in the room, including the curtains, and vacuum the room and the mattress itself. If this fails, you'll have to bring in the big guns. Nobody wants to be confronted with the nightmare of household pests. However,


those who possess a good understanding of how best to deal with them need not worry the next time uninvited guests of this sort appear. Heed the advice listed above and prepare yourself to eradicate even the most stubborn of intruders. Always remember the name to call for any of your pest related concerns!
