Your home might be your palace, but do you know that it can also serve as a shelter for rodents, insects and other kinds of pests? To keep these unwanted visitors at bay, here are some ways to pest proof your home.

Pest-Proofing Your Walls:

Insects such as carpenter ants and cockroaches can invade your home and set up their nests in the walls. Seal off all the cracks and gaps that could be the entry points for the pests. Also, make sure that no trees come in contact with any part of your home as it provides a pathway for the pests.

Pest Proofing Your Windows:

When it comes to pest-proofing your home, windows shouldn’t be overlooked. To pest-proof your windows, look for damages and fix any openings. Also inspect screens for damages and make sure that they are sealed without any gaps. Don’t forget to fix any openings to keep ladybugs, stink bugs, mosquitoes and other pests out.

Pest-Proofing Your Bedroom:

If you don’t want to get bitten by bed-bugs, take special care to ensure that they don’t make their way into your home. Avoid bringing discarded mattresses and furniture into your home, and also keep an eye for bed bugs on your headboard, bed frame and mattresses. If you suspect the presence of these insects, you can contact the bed-bug control melbourne experts for an inspection.

Pest-Proofing Your Roof:

Rats and mice can get through tight spaces, so have a professional to inspect your roof for potential points of entry. Blocking all these entry points is key to help preventing the infestation. All vents, chimneys, skylights, roof returns and other gaps should be examined and sealed if necessary.

Pest-Proofing Your Attic:

If you find evidence of unwanted guests living in your attic, call pest control melbourne experts to get rid of them. After eliminating the existing pests from your attic, look for holes and gaps in soffits, facia, chimney, roof-line, gables and roof vents, and seal off all the potential entry points.
