Five Things that Attract Pests to Your Home

San Francisco pest control experts are available to help homeowners to keep their houses free from indoor pests and vermin. No one wants to be infested with cockroaches and other insects or rodents of any kind because of the unpleasantness, filth and disease associated with these creatures. Besides the expert help, people can also take simple steps to make their premises less attractive and appealing to pests.
Dirty Dishes:
Yes, sometimes a pileup of dirty dishes is unavoidable. Still when creatures find a regular source of food because the dishes are left unwashed most of the time, they move in and plan to stay. Keeping the dishes wash prevents feeding extra hungry mouths that bring in illness and disease germs.

Food not Properly Stored:
 San Francisco pest control is aided by those residents that know how to properly store food so that vermin cannot enter and eat. Storing food properly requires containers in which mice and other pests cannot chew holes and access food. Many times sealing bags and boxes well to keep the smell of food away is sufficient, but storing in inaccessible containers is much better.

Crumbs and Other Food Particles: 
Of course, mouse-proof containers and clean dishes are almost wasted if crumbs and food particles are left scattered about the kitchen and eating areas. Any little crumbs that are allowed to frequently lie overnight attract hungry pests. Washing and as cleaning are powerful methods for making pests feel less welcome.

Leaking Faucets:
Keeping the house clean from food and using the services of reliable local San Francisco exterminators are excellent, but a leaking faucet or pipe still draws the roaches and other vermin. These pests love and need moist places and water sources.

Dark, Warm Spots:
Dark and warm spots like near the water heater are attractive to rodents, ants and roaches. Keeping these types of areas clean avoids an infestation of unwanted house guests. Additionally, residents can make sure that the local San Francisco exterminator has access to all such spots in the home for effective pest control treatments.

Home Free:
Having a home free of pests and vermin is cleaner and much more comfortable for people. The potential for the spread of diseases is greatly reduced as well. Residents feel free to invite guests and to relax and enjoy their home when they know they have done their best to keep away unwanted pests.

  1. Pests are ever unwanted in households and commercial premises. Pests will infest readily and if not controlled in enough time, will continue to wreck havoc reaching high level infestation which may be complex to eliminate completely such as bed bugs….
    Bedbugs! These insects invade homes and wreak havoc wherever they will intentionally attack. Effective bed bug control may seem impossible when it comes to a high level stubborn infestation, but there must be light at the end of the tunnel to eliminate these small, pesky pests.
    Bed bugs are tricky bugs. When they get into a home or business, they can get into hard to reach locations, not just your beds. These insects can dwell in outlets, wall voids, electronics, behind baseboards and anywhere close to resting and sleeping human sites. They can also be deep inside upholstered furniture or under rugs unsparingly. The trick to beating these hitch hiking, tricky bugs is understanding their habits and habitats. Bedbugs are for sure are real nuisance. Bedbug infestations seem to be increasing around the world at an alarming rate not even being threatened by available control measures, possibly due to insecticide resistance. Resistance to pyrethroid insecticides is already widespread in the whole world. The bedbug infestation occurs in aggregations when conditions are favorable, but the arthropods disperse when conditions are unfavorable. Active female dispersal can potentially lead to treatment failures and should be taken into account when using control methods.
    New tactics against these bugs are needed for this escalating public health concern in locations with high occupant turnover, such as hotels, hospitals, and nursing homes. Indeed, in the past decade bedbugs have become a worldwide urban pest, with the number of households affected markedly increased.
