Keep Pests Off Your Property

Protect your home investment by using these tricks to keep pests away from your property.

Pests are no laughing matter. Every year thousands of us are terrified within our own homes at the prospect of having rodents, flies, or termites eating away at our building; however, there are a few ways you can repel pests from around your property and keep the worst of them at bay. These methods are not always foolproof, but they might give you some peace of mind.

Here are some of the best ways to keep pests off your property and protect your investment.

Why Are Pests Such a Problem?

There are some apparent problems associated with pets living in your house, but there are also some that are not so obvious. For example, most people don’t want a nest of squirrels living in their attic because they know that now they have a hole in their attic. But, on the other hand, not everyone knows that part of the biggest problem with rodents living in your home is not the holes they make in your property, but rather the germs they spread by pawing their way through your house.

Rats and mice and flies and termites all walk through their feces and trail these germs through every place in your home where food is prepared. This is the primary way that they cause us harm and spread disease. They also carry fleas. So, if we have pets, our pets are now at risk of catching fleas. In Australia, they even have human fleas. And while pest control Sydney might be able to take care of any common pest problem, they won’t be able to help you if you have human fleas. That will require a doctor.

The Best Ways to Keep Pests Away from Your Property

Here are the best ways to keep pests off your property.

1 – Keep Food Stowed Away

Pests look for a few things when they come to your house. One of those things is a food source. Another is a place to sleep that is comfortable and warm. If you can eliminate the food source, the chances are that you’ll never get pests in the first place. In some cases, this is easier said than done. Termites, for example, will chew their way through the wood of your house.

2 – Clean up Spills

Similarly, all spills of food or drinks should be cleaned up as they happen. The scent of food spills can be enough to attract pests. Think of a beer in the forest who will come into your campsite because he smells meat. It is a similar thing with rodents and your kitchen.

3 – Use Deterrents

Certain things deter some tests. Slugs will be repelled by salt, for example. Pepper sprinkled around the property should be enough to keep dogs and cats from sniffing there. Likewise, you can put down poisons for certain pests but be wary of your cats and dogs and your neighbors’ animals. Toxins will affect all animals, not just one specific animal. 

Stay Vigilant

Above all else, stay vigilant. Keep watching and blocking gaps to keep pests out.
