Pest Control to Protect Your Home and Health in Perth

Pests can be as harmless as annoying ants and cockroaches, or they can be something much more harmful, like termites or even rodents. Having these pests inside your home can lead to health issues and the destruction of your belongings. Regular pest inspections will keep the pests at bay, and control measures can be put in place for continued safe living. Know what attracts pests, and take measures to prevent them from increasing your pest population.

Preventing Pests in the Home

Pests tend to make their first appearance in kitchens. Food is a powerful attractant of ants and cockroaches, so storing food in sealed containers is a must. Keep your stove, oven, benches, cupboards and shelves clean. Cockroaches love moist places too, including under sinks and around toilets. Repair dripping faucets and keep your space clean and dry to limit the food and water supply for these pests. Caulking cracks and holes at home will reduce their areas of entry or hiding.

The Threat of Termites

Some pests are more than just annoying. Termites, for instance, are also known to be very destructive and can cause a lot of damage to the wooden parts within your home. There are more than 300 species of termite in Australia, and they can cause serious damage if left unchecked. If you find termite damage, steer clear of DIY treatments. On the other hand, professional termite exterminators are experts at finding infestations and providing the appropriate treatment. Frequent checking of all wood locations and possible entrance areas is necessary. In Perth, every house should have a pest control inspection by a professional at least once per year.

The Importance of Professional Pest Control

Professional pest control inspections are also necessary for the safety of your home. Certified experts can determine the presence of pests and where they are nesting, come up with a safe and efficient treatment plan and safely manage pesticides. Pesticides are unsafe if misapplied, but well-trained folks understand how to handle the products safely and minimise their exposure. They also offer instructions on what to do after treatment safely.

These include short-term measures such as keeping your house clean and clutter-free to prevent pests from multiplying. But a certified pest control professional will give you lasting protection. A little information goes a long way toward homeowners getting a jump on problems before it’s too late. Regular inspections are essential to preserving the value of your property and the health of your family.
