A Checklist Before You Call Pest Control Jensen Beach

By Carol Ellis


In the world of human activity, there are two very common areas where most of this occurs. These are of course the areas of the home and areas in the office where one works. Pests will infest these places sooner or later, and you will need to call a reliable pest control Jensen Beach to help you out. But before this happens there are a few preventive measures that you can while you are living in Jensen Beach, FL before you make that inevitable call to pest control.

The checklist that you will have for preventive pest control will contain a few items that you will need to do regularly. These items or rather actions that you need to do on a regular basis, but the good news is that they are fairly easy to do. It will just take a lot of commitment and discipline to do them though.

It is very important that you get rid of clutter first. Cluttered areas invite many sorts of pests to make their homes in and breed. Most likely the cluttered areas in your house or office will be storage areas and places where people do not often go to.

A good control item or action to do will be to change your eating behavior. That is you should only eat at places where it is designated to eat. One should not eat in other areas like the bedroom, den, or some other place where you are not supposed to eat. Restrict all eating activities in the kitchen as this will prevent food particles and crumbs from being scattered widely which attracts pests.

Do take out the garbage and trash all the time at the same time or earlier. It is a chore that sadly many people abhor but it needs to be done. This is especially true of trash and garbage that have food in it or food scraps for that matter. These are prime targets for pests such as cockroaches and rats.

If you do see some pests you can try your hand at getting rid of them yourself. In the case of rats it is best that you do not use any poisons or tracking powders. For although effective, poisons will make rodents die in places you would not even think of and their rotting carcasses can stink up your place for days on end. It is best to find an alternate way to get rid of rodents.

You may think of using traditional snap traps or even electric traps which are getting popular. What is very effective also are glue traps that are designed for different sizes of rodents. All these of course are good if you only have a few rats to deal with. If the population is quite sizeable it will be best to call in an expert exterminator to get rid of large colonies and packs.

Should you call an exterminator, try to schedule it on a weekend for it may come to pass that you will need to vacate the premises for one or two days. This is to give the area time to air out for noxious substances that are not only fatal to pests, but for humans as well. Make sure you give the place you are hiring the exterminator for has time to air out poisons and chemicals.
