If you’ve noticed a fair few pests lurking around your home, you may be experiencing an infestation or your property may be susceptible to an invasion in the future. Unfortunately, identifying the cause of this influx can be difficult if you’re not a specialist, which is where Empire Pest Control’s London services come in.
However, if you’re determined to uncover the root of the issue for prevention methods in the future, read on. Below we have compiled just three reasons pests may be invading your home.
A New Occupant
If pests seem to be making themselves right at home in your property, it is likely they sought shelter, in this case, from the sun. Though it may not be obvious how they entered your home, check for cracks, crevices and holes. If you identify an opening, no matter how small, seal it to help stop any other unwanted visitors.
Crumbs Galore
It is a well-known fact that food can attract pests, but what’s acceptable to leave out and what isn’t? Well, pests can be drawn by crumbs that haven’t been cleaned up, unattended pet food and any spills. So, to help prevent an army of ants and other pests invading your cooking space, remember to wipe down surfaces once you’ve finished and keep all food tightly packed to avoid nibbles.
Moisture
If there are rooms in your property that are quite damp, this could provide ample living conditions for pests that thrive on moisture. The same goes for any leaky water pipes, so inspect your property and consider equipment like extractor fans in the bathroom to reduce humidity. Also, any drips or leaks will need fixing to maintain pest-free conditions.
These are just three reasons pests may be invading your property. Of course, there are many more besides, so if you are suffering from a pest problem, call the experts here at Empire Pest Control today, for specialist advice and support.
