Let’s bust the common pest control myths and the proper ways about removing pests from your home. 

Pets are natural pest deterrent

A common misconception is that there will not be any bugs at your home if you have pets.  Since pets are already full with the meal that you provide, they do not encourage bugs and rodents. However, pets might attract more fleas and other pests due to the leftover food in their bowls. 

Cheese is used for trapping mice

Mice are more attracted to sugary food rather than cheese which is said to be used for trapping them. Place peanut butter, grapes, and sugar cubes in mouse traps or place nesting materials like feathers or straw that are desirable to the mice.

Clean houses won’t have bugs

The reality is that bed bugs inhabit the cleanest beds as they are not attracted to dirty places, rather they are attracted to places where they can get blood.

Ultrasonic repellents control pests

Commercial ultrasonic pest repellants do not work for long term as pests become used to the sound.

Boiling water can get you rid of ants

Ants always seem to be even more no matter how many you get rid of. Pouring boiling water on an ant nest might work sometimes but that is not enough to kill the queen as she continues to give birth to more ants. Call for a professional pest control service for getting rid of their nest.

Get at least two or three pest control treatments before the pest activity ends. Further, take steps to prevent the kind of pest from entering your home again. Check what attracts them and remove them to prevent further damage to your home.

Getting a pest control service is extremely safe as qualified companies take pride in extending their services ensuring that the pest problem is completely eradicated from your home.
