Home Maintenance Tip: Spray Pest Control Around the Home

Almost anywhere you live there are  opportunities for insects and pests to enter your home. There may be different types of insects based on the climate and soil conditions of where you live. However, to prevent these little critters from invading the interior of your home, it is good practice to spray pest control around areas of your home. It is important to focus on areas that might allow for these pests to enter your home.

Determine the typical kinds of pests in your neighborhood or area. Then, determine what products will eliminate them or prevent them from entering your home. Some people spray around their home themselves, while many others hire a pest control service to minimize insects around and in the home. Which ever you choose, remember your pets. Many of these sprays contain toxins that would make your pets sick or worse, they could die. So when you are spraying around your home, keep your pets inside away from these chemicals.

 

 

Spraying Pest Control

Spraying instructions depend on the product you use. Many products are designed to spray the outside perimeter of the home to kill and prevent insects and pests from entering the home. Some are preventative and will not kill the insects. Some are used in trees or other planter areas to protect your plants from these pests. Additionally, some specific insects require a different product. For instance, if you have snails eating all your plants, you may want to consider crushed egg shells. As we discussed earlier, do your research to determine the bugs in the area first. Finding organic or homemade solutions can help with the pollutants that come for the chemical based insect repellents on the market.
