Do’s and don’ts of safe pest control

It’s possible to have safe pest control and to get respite from pests on your property. Here are some handy tips on how that can be achieved:

Do try prevention first: As the saying goes, “prevention is better than cure” and timely pest management prevents bugs and insects from becoming a problem. Preventing pests is much easier, and less expensive, than exterminating them. As a trusted pest control Adelaide business, we highly recommend homeowners should include year-round pest control as part of their regular home maintenance to ensure a safe, comfortable home.

  • Food crumbs attract pests – dirty dishes, food scraps, crumbs, and leftover food can be an invitation to pests so keep your kitchen clean to enjoy a pest-free home.
  • Standing water in your home is exactly what pests need to find a comfortable place to live and grow. Try to keep the kitchen and bathroom area as dry as possible and for any leaking pipes and hot water tanks get them fixed as soon as possible to avoid puddles of water.
  • Letting your kitchen waste sit around for too long invites pests so make it a point to take it out as it’s needed.
  • Most pests can hide in cabinets, behind kitchen appliances, utensils or stored food items. It is important to keep your cabinets clean and tidy to keep pest problems at bay.
  • Get Help From Pest Control Adelaide Service: The foolproof way to keep your home pest-free is to hire a local pest control service.

Do not store leftover pesticides or their containers: It is highly recommended to read the label and dispose of the leftover pesticide correctly. If you’re storing any pesticide, make sure to firmly seal it in its original container and keep it out of reach of children. Never mix pesticides, as this could cause a harmful chemical reaction and be very dangerous to health.

Don’t use outdoor chemicals inside: For indoor pest protection always use the indoor pesticide and do not use outdoor chemicals.
