This time of the year brings lots of calls for rodent and ant problems.
Some pointers to prevent rodents from visiting you:
Rodents can crawl into spaces as tiny as a quarter of an inch. Therefore, it’s crucial that you seal up any possible entryways and exits to keep them from coming in. Buy some heavy gauge steel wool and encircle the pipes entering and exiting you home. Stuff the wool around all pipes and inside cracks exposed to the outside, especially those larger than an eighth of an inch. Look at exits and entryways for the plumbing, heating and electric, as well as inside the crawl space. Secure screen and doors to make sure there’s no opening where the rodents can squeeze through undetected. Also make sure you check the attic for any activity.
Go up to the roof and fill holes where vents and rooflines intersect. It’s necessary that you make sure the roof is secure because some rodents will jump onto the house from trees. You may need to trim back trees to prevent the rodents from jumping onto your roof. Check around trees, bushes and gardens so you can for signs of burrowing or nesting.
Take in pet food bowls from the outside after feeding. Collect fruit that has fallen from trees or other foods that could attract rodents, such as a vegetable garden or bird feeder. The less food available for them to munch on, the less likely they will want to stick around your place. Keeping rodents out of the house is easy when you prevent them from getting in.
Another pest that has a tendency to be a problem this time of the year is ants. They can invade in and around your home. They have a wide variety of nesting habits and food preferences. Some may build nests in soil, producing large mounds while others nest in your home behind moldings, baseboards, and countertops. Others may nest in decaying or moisture-damaged wood. The ants will enter homes from outside nests as they forage for food. To locate their nest, you can encourage foraging by setting out attractive food and watch where they go. For some ants, such as carpenter ants, this works best at night. Once the nest is discovered, it can be treated or removed (in the case of rotted wood). There are several types of ants that can become a problem, so it’s best to call a professional to handle the problem.
G Pest Control and Termites are the ones to call. Not only do we treat for rodents and ants, but we also treat for roaches, spiders, fleas, and termites. So call 713-974-BUGS today for your FREE estimate!
