Pests love and thrive inside your home. So you need to be aware of what signs to look out for, and when to call in the professionals. A pest control service is vital to eradicate any infestations you may have in your home.
Here are some signs that indicate you need the help of a professional pest control service such as our personal recommendation, Empire Pest Control Ltd who are based in London.
- Noticing signs of damage – Have you noticed some bite marks in your furniture, or some chewed wires? This is a sure sign of pests! Check all of your furniture and your walls for any damage if you believe you have a problem with pests.
- Droppings and mess – Those little brown pellets should not be ignored. Pests are great at hiding, but you will most certainly come across their droppings if you have an infestation. You may also notice other debris left from pests, such as dead insects or shed skin. Even the smallest amount may indicate a pest problem.
- Entry points – All pests need to enter the home somehow. Is there a hole you’ve spotted in your home that looks bigger than usual? That’s probably the door the pests have used to infest your home!
- Finding nests – Pests such as rodents love to make their nests in your home, where there is food, water and shelter. It may take some searching, but finding a nest is a definite sign you have pests in your home.
Keeping an eye out for the signs of pests will help you to prevent infestations in your home. If you spot the first signs of an infestation, it’s time to act!
Get in touch with a professional pest controller who can give you advice on your pest problems. If you want more advice on pest prevention, a pest controller can help you with that too! Pest control services will tailor their treatments to suit you and your family’s needs, and get rid of the infestation quickly.
You don’t want an infestation to return, so always follow up with your pest controller to keep preventing future pest problems from happening.
