Many people are surprised to learn that you need to prepare the house for pest control. It’s actually an important part of any pest control treatment. Before the exterminator is able to apply treatments and offer pest control solutions, your home or business needs to be prepared. Your exterminator can only provide solutions for your pest problems with adequate access. By successfully prepping the area, you minimise the risks of re-infestation and successfully ensuring the pest control measures. Here are things your exterminator wishes you to know for prepping your home.
Prepare The House For Pest Control
Pests, of all various types and characteristics, have a nasty way of hiding and misleading exterminators. Since you have the first-hand information regarding the pest infestation, pinpointing the location of where you have seen the pests will help the exterminators solve your problem. Please point out any areas of concern to your Picton Pest exterminator.
Clean Floors Thoroughly and Remove the Carpets During the Process
Floors and carpets can be the laying grounds for pests’ eggs. To make the extermination process successful, you must scrub, sanitise and clean floors to remove a possible source of re-infestation. For floors with carpets, you can bring it to a reputable laundry cleaner for a disinfected and fresh carpets after the extermination.
Remove Food Items
Before the exterminator starts the process for solving pest infestation, food items or food sources must be thoroughly covered, if not, be taken away from the site. Picton Pest control uses safe chemicals – however please speak to us for more information about safely preparing for our visit. Professionals like exterminators are the one who’s knowledgeable and skilled enough to handle such chemicals and processes.
Move Large Appliances and Furniture Away from Walls
Like we mentioned earlier, pests have a nasty way of hiding and excusing themselves from your sight whenever they are about to get caught. Because exterminators need to resolve pest control issues, every part of the area where pests have been pinpointed must be treated. As such, furniture and appliances from walls must be removed or at least moved so the exterminators’ movements won’t be hampered.
Relocate Pets or Cover Aquariums and Cages
Do you have pets that may be at risk of inhaling pest control treatment? If you do, it is best to have them stay at a doggy or pet daycare while the treatment is ongoing. If you have birds or fishes, cover their cages and aquariums. This way they won’t be affected by any natural products or chemicals the exterminators are using.
These are only basic things that every exterminator wishes you consider before having them treat your home. After all, their efforts will surely be a success with your actions of prepping your home.
