What Are Some of the Common Household Pests?

There are different household pests that can enter your home. Some of the common ones are rats, mice, mosquitoes, bed bugs, cockroaches, and ants.

These animals are often small and seem harmless at first but they can multiply and destroy properties, bite, and even carry diseases. Getting rid of them can be challenging if there is already a lot of them. By this time, the only reasonable thing to do is seek the help of trusted pest control in Orillia to get rid of them.

Why Do Pest Infestations Happen?

There are many reasons why pest infestations happen. A very common reason is that these animals are seeking shelter. Rats and mice often make a comfortable burrow in a room or in the garden. Bed bugs, on the other hand, can find their way into your home by hitchhiking on clothes or luggage.

Aside from shelter, they can also enter households to look for food. Cockroaches, rats, and ants are common pests that feast on food left uncovered or thrown in the trash.

How to Control Pests

Pests can multiply in a short span of time. You have to be proactive in keeping them off your property if you don’t want them damaging your property and posing health risks. To help, here are 5 ways you can control their presence:

  • Keep Surfaces Clean

Your tables, chairs, and bars are a favorite of pests because these have food pieces and crumbs that they can feast on. With a simple step of wiping off the surfaces, you can keep ants, rats, cockroaches, and flies out of your home.

  • Keep the Trash Covered and Outside the House

Pests are attracted to food waste and organic trash so it is not surprising that they love digging through trash bins. If left uncovered, they can nest on these items and scatter the trash around.

  • Install Screens On Doors and Windows

The good old screen for windows and doors is effective in keeping insects and rodents out of the house. These are not too expensive and do not affect the overall aesthetic appeal of homes.

  • Check Walls and Dark Corners Regularly

Is there an empty room in your house? Do you have beautiful European flooring from a Toronto shop? Is the basement full of stuff that you can barely see on the floor?

The thing is, you will never know what could be hiding in the damp and dark corners of your property. Do not let these spaces go unchecked and risk pests thriving and destroying your stuff.

  • Hire a Pest Control Specialist

A regular pest control check is also necessary. Imagine how much you invested in sofas for your Toronto home only to see it get destroyed by the gnawing teeth of rodents or infested by bed bugs. These regular check-ups can help you ward off these animals even at the first signs of their presence.

Pest infestation is one of the most frustrating things that could happen to a property. They carry diseases, can cause bites and allergies, and make homes look and smell dirty. However, there are small things that you can do to ensure that their population is controlled.
