Pest control can be done anytime as prevention is everything in this context. We do not want to wait until we have a pest problem to solve it. We want to make sure that we are preventing pests from ever entering our home by taking precautions both inside and outside.
Pest prevention is not a one-time thing. It takes regular treatments to prevent pests.
How often should we go for a pest control treatment?
The pest control treatments frequency is based on the quality of the procedures and how thorough they are. Some pest control monthly, some provide quarterly pest control services that provide a much more comprehensive solution to our pest problems and is designed to last.
Pests enter buildings and homes looking for food, water, and shelter, and there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution that will solve all pest problems. Here are some necessary preventative steps that will help prevent a pest problem before it starts.
Eliminate food
Store food in reusable containers with airtight, fitted lids; keep trash in a can with a tight-fitting lid and take it out regularly; vacuum up or clean crumbs and spills when they occur; keep food in the refrigerator when possible.
Eliminate water
Smartly fix leaky and dripping pipes, faucets, and roofs; try to reduce humidity in basements and other moist areas of the home, like bathrooms and kitchens; place metal screens in drains where feasible.
Eliminate shelter
- Please get rid of clutter
- Seal cracks and crevices with silicone caulking and copper mesh where appropriate
- Fix or replace broken screens; maintain the yard and outside areas
- Remove trash
- Prune shrubs, trees, and ground cover, so they are not touching the building.
Precaution before using Pest Control
- Do check for pests and rodents in boxes or packages before carrying them into the home.
- Safely and correctly use pesticides.
- Keep children and pets away from pesticide areas or where they have been applied.
Precautions while preparing for pest control
- You may use baits as a first line of chemical defence against insects or rodents. These steps are often practical and may be used with less risk of exposure to the pesticide.

- Use fogging devices only when required.
- Always follow the pesticide label’s instructions and safety warnings.
