Ten rules to prevent pests at home


Ants and their sweet tooth 
The most common species, the garden ant, not usually carry diseases. Anyway, as it is impossible to know where they've been looking for food before going into our kitchens, it is important to follow a series of steps to prevent their walks pantry. We should note that most ants come into our homes in search of food, attracted by the sweet, therefore we must avoid letting them leeway to get it. This is achieved by covering all food, cleaning up any spills immediately or leftover food and especially well by sealing garbage bags. Furthermore, it must collect food scraps from pets end up as dinner. 

Bedbugs move using our pockets 
This pest is becoming a major problem in many developed countries, given their rapid expansion and difficult treatment. Your access to homes is usually produced using clothing or furniture inside as transportation, so we must take special care not to facilitate their movement. Another of the most common ways to sneak into our homes is through the cavities that may be on the wall or the floor. So, the neighbor has bedbugs will have to be very careful and avoid letting any gaps that invite to enter. 

Cockroaches, carry disease 
This is one of the most common pests in homes and also may cause more diseases like salmonella, gastroenteritis, typhoid fever or asthma. As if this were not enough, emit an unpleasant smell that contaminates food and objects with which it comes in contact. 

His playing is so fast and resist both the need to act as swiftly as possible to prevent it from colonizing everything. First, seal all holes well that may be a gateway to home for these insects. But if there is one in the best way to kill them is to prevent access to food or water. So, it will be convenient to store food in airtight plastic containers, clean any food and be careful with storing dirty clothes. 

Repellents that emit ultrasound signals do not work with this pest and therefore not recommended for cockroaches disappear from our lives. 

Fleas, the best enemy of our pets 
Households with dogs or cats are especially likely to have fleas, so they require special protection measures. Vacuum carpets pet bedding, wash their beds every week at a temperature higher than 50th and place them in an area without more elements that can be source of contamination. 

Flies and mosquitoes: are attracted to light and food 
The annoying buzz of flies while trying to sleep, can become a major problem if some varieties of this species. So-called "house flies" may carry diseases such as salmonella, tuberculosis and cholera, although in our country is very rare its existence. 

Avoid leaving food to attract the eye or standing water where they can leave their larvae. In addition, it helps close the windows and doors when the sun goes down and the curtains so they do not come to light. 

Moths eat our clothes 
Although not pose a risk to human health, their presence in homes cause major damage to clothing, carpets and fabrics in their path. As the flies are attracted to the lights, so we try to keep the windows closed at night or cover them with nets. 

They love dirty laundry, so it is always better to wash before storing and, if it is not used for a long period of time, store it in special plastic bags. The surface beneath the furniture should be vacuumed regularly to remove their eggs. 

Wasps, careful, very careful 
Such insects can become a major threat, especially for people allergic to their bites. Getting depends not keep them out of our control, but we can try to be together but not mixed. 

To know where the swarm is located just have to become spies and observe the route they do when they return from peck of "blossoming flower". Having defined our goal, the first step is to ignore common sense and keep windows and doors closed near the nest either. 

If the wasps have already chosen, for example, the roof of our home to stay will have to be careful not to approach them or anything that may be interpreted as an attack. In this case we just call Rentokil professionals. 

Mice contortionists 
Not all mice are equally endearing Mickey Mouse. In fact, having a family of rodents as a tenant can cause major problems, even a house fire caused by the bites of these bugs. 

Wall up to the smallest gap is one of the first measures of prevention. Rodents have a very soft skeleton and are able to slip through the "eye of a needle." You should also avoid leaving food or debris that might attract feast to our account. 

As a preventive measure you can use devices that emit ultrasound, inaudible to humans, but very annoying to rodents. But do not think that this is a panacea because mice get acclimated quickly to these waves and, if they find attractive home, may become your next destination. Avoid this by keeping your home as clean as possible. 

Rats attract other pests 
For rats the plot thickens even further, to transmit serious diseases like tuberculosis and salmonella. They can carry other pests like fleas, ticks or mites. Therefore, their presence in our garden or inside the house can be a significant risk to the health of people and animals. 

The tips to follow are very similar to those discussed for mice. Consider that the larger size of these rodents does not stop them to slip through the gaps  most unexpected. A young rat is able to squeeze through a hole of less than 1 centimeter. You have to take special care in maintaining the pipes, since they serve as conduits broken driveway at home. 

Moles, explorers in our garden experts 
These small excavators are able to weave a vast network of underground tunnels, causing the appearance of mini volcanoes all over the garden soil. Little can be done to get the moles pass you by our lawn. In this case we have to change prevention by direct action when the problem has already appeared. In the market there are many products to control this pest, but experience shows that spraying Rentokil and traps are the only effective weapon to prevent our plots are full of underground highways.
