Some products also make good deterrants. For example, treatments like vinegar can be used to ward off pests such as ants. For repelling rats and mice, peppermint oil is a fragrance that will drive them away.<br>• Sometimes cracks in exterior walls work as a passage for insects and vermin. All doors, windows and walls must be checked, and if in any way possible, any gaps that are discovered must be sealed up. Fine mesh can be used on the windows to restrict the entry of flying insects. Additionally, any plumbing leaks existing in your house must be repaired, as lots of pests such as cockroaches, are attracted to a moist environment<br>• Pests are particularly drawn in to an unclean environment, or a home where food is not adequately stored. It is always recommended to keep your house so tidy that pests find your home less appealing. The cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom must be made a top priority.<br><br>These are several of the most efficient steps that can be taken. By doing this, you stand a good chance of keeping your home free from unwanted pests like bed bugs or mice. The jobs are quite simple, although activities included do take some time and planning.

  1. Great Expert Tips From… EMPIRE PEST CONTROL EXPERT LOCAL PEST CONTROL IN LONDON Pest Prevention From UK Based, Local London Pest Experts 1. Gardening • Trim back shrubbery and foliage that is touching your home to stop pest ‘bridges’ into the house. Mulch is the ideal shelter for pests. Instead of using these in areas that touch your property, place rocks or stones there instead. EMPIRE PEST CONTROL LONDON | www.empirepestcontrol.co.uk | T: 0800 633 5220 or 0203 633 2143

  2. 2. Sealing • Pests can wiggle through tiny cracks and gaps. Inspect and repair any warped or broken doors and windows. If they don’t fit properly, this also creates pest entry points. Repair rips or tears in screens to stop pests gaining entry. 3. Lighting • Reduce flying insects around your doors and windows by replacing standard lighting with halogen lights. Bulbs that have a pink, yellow or orange tint will be less attractive to flying insects. Use pole lights where possible, placed away from windows. 4. Piping • Some cracks and gaps will only be visible from inside your home. Check behind kitchen cabinets, fridges and ovens, as well as around piping and vents. All gaps found should be sealed immediately, especially if they’re ¼ inch or greater. EMPIRE PEST CONTROL LONDON | www.empirepestcontrol.co.uk | T: 0800 633 5220 or 0203 633 2143

  3. 5. Inspecting • Inspect the entire exterior of your home for any cracks, crevices and holes a pest could use to enter. Check your foundation for cracks, and also inspect the roof for loose shingles. Seal any openings with mesh, mortar or caulk. 6. Storing • Gardens, garages, decks and patios should be free of litter, weeds and standing water. All bins should have tight fitting lids and need to be cleaned regularly. Remove debris and spills from around the bins which pests can feed from. 7. Draining • Sink and floor drains gather gunk and debris. This attracts pests, and provides ideal breeding sites. Inspect and maintain all of your sinks, baths, showers and outdoor drains to eliminate pest control problems. Remove debris from them regularly as prevention.

  4. 8. Recycling • Store recyclables outside and away from your home. All containers should be rinsed thoroughly and disposed of in a recycling bin with a tight fitting lid. All recycling and normal bins should be rodent proof, cleaned frequently and emptied often. 9. Eating • Food in opened bags and boxes that cannot be closed should be stored in resealable bags or plastic containers. This prevents pantry pests from feeding on them and infesting your kitchen. Regularly clean out cupboards, throwing away stale food items. 10. Cleaning • The cleaner your home is, the less attractive it will be. Don’t provide pests with a chance to live and breed in your home. The more prevention you do, the less likely it is you will need a pest controller.
