The most effective pest control strategy is a strategy of prevention. It is easier to inspect your home thoroughly and undertake the maintenance and minor repairs required to keep pest out of the home than to eradicate a pest that has taken up residence. If you already have pests in your home, a quick spray with Wondercide Wondefense will eliminate them. Green Pest Control combined with prevention is fast, affordable and easy to do yourself! Look around your home to identify points that can provide access for unwelcome insects and familiarize yourself with the necessary steps needed to pest proof each area.
Indoors, make the house as inhospitable as possible to pests by regularly cleaning and vacuuming with routine attention to hard to reach places like under furniture and appliances. Take the steps necessary to control moisture that attracts pest insects and provides a comfortable feeding and breeding ground for them. Inspect floor, wall, ceiling, and foundation surfaces for cracks and openings that allow pests to enter the home. Patch any cracks in the stucco, plaster or drywall, concrete or mortar joints of these surfaces and repair any wood rot as soon as you notice it.
Pay particular attention to doors and windows; their open joints are natural entry points for insects and pests. Use a draft gauge, a match, or an incense to identify drafts around windows and doors that may be pest entry points. Weather strip faulty windows and doors to create a pest proof seal around them. Cover any broken window panes and patch damaged screens to keep pests out as well. Be sure to inspect the trim around the exterior of a window or door and re caulk those that are faulty.
Once you have identified potential areas that need repair or maintenance, get to it! Make a list of the items you need to gather or purchase and move throughout the home until each item is complete. Now that you have sealed your home the best you can from potential pest entry, it’s time to get out the Wondercide.
