Before You Call Pest Control Jensen Beach

By Carol Ellis


In the world of human activity, there are two very common areas where most of this occurs. These are of course the areas of the home and areas in the office where one works. Pests will infest these places sooner or later, and you will need to call a reliable pest control Jensen Beach to help you out. But before this happens there are a few preventive measures that you can while you are living in Jensen Beach, FL before you make that inevitable call to pest control.

When doing a bit of preventive pest control you will need to some do actions, to give you a fighting chance against a full blown swarm. You must do these actions with discipline and regularity, and do them religiously at that, for it to work for you.

One of the first things to do will be to clear areas of clutter. Creatures, especially rodents and cockroaches love areas with lots of clutter and trash where they can rest and snuggle in, or sometimes play in. These are also areas where mating occurs as well as delivering babies and other little creatures. Prime candidates for clutter are mostly unused areas like storage rooms in the house or office. You should at least set some time aside to clear the clutter as a first step in combating pest growth and multiplication.

A very simple but very effective step in having a good prevention plan is to change your eating habits. You should only eat in places where you are supposed to eat, in this case only the kitchen. Avoid eating in other areas of the house or office to prevent food crumbs and particles from being scattered which will attract pests in the long run.

Always take out the trash and garbage on time every time. May of us do not like this kind of activity and wait till the last minute or wait for someone else to do it. This is especially true if talking of food trash, which attracts all manners and kinds of uninvited guests. This is a job that you have to set your mind to doing religiously.

If you do see some pests you can try your hand at getting rid of them yourself. In the case of rats it is best that you do not use any poisons or tracking powders. For although effective, poisons will make rodents die in places you would not even think of and their rotting carcasses can stink up your place for days on end. It is best to find an alternate way to get rid of rodents.

Alternative ways to get rid of rats lie in the way of using snap traps and newly developed electrical traps. A good way and clean way to get rid of rodents of many different sizes are glue traps and glue boards that are easily bought in any hardware store. Remember however, that these methods are only good for small rat populations, but if they get to be colony size and such then it will be time to call an expert exterminator in to do the job.

Should you call an exterminator, try to schedule it on a weekend for it may come to pass that you will need to vacate the premises for one or two days. This is to give the area time to air out for noxious substances that are not only fatal to pests, but for humans as well. Make sure you give the place you are hiring the exterminator for has time to air out poisons and chemicals.
