If you are like other Armonk residents who care about their homes, you put in the effort to protect your home and keep it in good shape for as long as possible. But you might forget to take steps to keep pests away from your property if you don’t understand the threat.
Pests that get into your home can cause many issues that you won’t want to face, so being proactive to prevent an infestation is always a smart move. Since stopping an infestation before it starts is easier than getting rid of the invaders, it’s never too soon to get started. Protecting yourself from rodents, insects and wildlife will let you put your worries to rest and give you peace of mind.
Rodents
A small hole in your home or attic is the only thing mice, rats and other rodents need when they want to get inside. A rodent problem can quickly spiral out of control if you don’t detect it during the first stages. Chewed wires and tainted food are the things you will get if you let rodents make themselves at home.
These pests can create fire hazards and taint your food before you know it, but they can even spread diseases that you will need to avoid if you care about your well-being. Cleaning your home and keeping food in sealed containers will discourage rodents from inviting themselves inside.
Bed Bugs
If you have noticed small red marks on your skin, you might have a bed bug problem on your hands. These insects will follow you home if you enter an infested building, and they will be pleased to get their hands on a new host. Because bed bugs are resistant to most at-home pest control products, getting rid of the invaders won’t be an easy task.
They don’t spread harmful pathogens to humans but are still not pleasant to have in your home. Some people place traps on the legs of their bed to catch and identify bedbugs so that they will know how to respond. Capturing a few bed bugs, however, won’t eliminate the problem if the pests have already established a nest in your home.
Termites
Termites are another type of pest you won’t want to spot in or near your home because they can cause a lot of destruction. Consuming your wooden walls and floors is what termites will do when they make their way into your home, but learning about the early warning signs can help. Look for wood shavings at the bottom of your walls if you suspect termites have started causing trouble. Also, they will create mud shelter tubes because they don’t like being exposed when they exit your walls. You can find shelter tubes in your basement and on the foundation of your home if you take some time to look.
