New Homeowner Alert: Are You Protected From Pests?

Are you a new homeowner? Have you thought about pest prevention in your home? Or have you already noticed some pests in your home? Pest control is an essential part of keeping your new home safe and comfortable year-round. Having unwanted house guests in your home can be a health hazard and a safety concern for your home. When you move into a new home, you expect things to be nice and fresh. However, depending on the age and style of your home, there may be some problems that allow pests in or there may already be some pests living in your home.

Some common pests you may find hiding in your home are termites, bed bugs, cockroaches, ants and mice. These pests are looking for a warm shelter with easy access to food and water. Once pests have made it into your home, they will adapt and reproduce until you have a full infestation.

These pests can cause hazardous conditions for your home and family. Some pests can destroy the structure of your home without you even noticing until they have caused several thousand dollars worth of damage. Other pests can bring diseases and bacteria into your home, causing health problems with things like allergies, asthma and sickness. They can also contaminate your food sources. Most pests are looking for an easy meal. When they find their way to your food pantry, they do not care if they leave fecal matter and bacteria in your food.

Preventing pests from getting into your new home can be an extensive job. Sometimes it is hard to visualize all of the possible entry points for pests to get into your home. The best way to ensure that your new home stays pest free is to call a professional pest exterminator. They will be able to examine your property and seal any entry points for pests. If you find that you already have pests, an exterminator will be able to assess the problem, create a plan with you to eliminate it and make recommendations to keep pests out in the future!

Moving into a new home is exciting and enjoyable. Don’t let pest control problems ruin your big move. Take the time to ensure that your new home is currently pest free and that it will stay that way. A pest free home is a happy and safe environment for you and your family to live in and enjoy making new memories.
