Dealing with a Pest Invasion

There are several things that home owners will dread having to deal with; a broken boiler, a faulty water system and even poor insulation. But there’s one more than can all but guarantee to send a person to bed in a spin – and that’s pest invasion. Creepy crawlies, small mammals and even birds have a canny skill of making their way into a person’s home and once there, they can be an absolute nightmare to remove.

If you’re currently facing an invasion from insects, mammals, birds, or even reptiles – try not to worry too much and instead consider your options.

Traps and deterrents

These solutions can be great when dealing with the early stages of an infestation, but they can be all but useless when having to face a full-on invasion. Traps may stop a few dozen ants or a small rodent from being able to travel freely about your home – but unless you can tackle them at their source, you’ll soon find your efforts amount to nothing.

When all else fails (or when you’ve simply had enough of dealing with unwanted pests), you could always consider calling out the big guns. Pest controllers have one responsibility and one alone; to completely eradicate and remove all traces of unwanted creepy crawlies from your home. Furthermore, they can install deterrents to stop these events from happening again.

Pest prevention

To put a halt on any further attempts at access, you could consider blocking the entry points using adhesives glue traps and other similar items. With the critters trapped inside they’ll be desperate for a way out, so you can either funnel them through another entry point before sealing it, or introduce poisons and traps to free your home from the numbers already present. This might not always work with mammals and rodents – but if you can stop them from getting in, then they’ll have no choice but to leave, or be trapped for a more humane removal.
