Hi there, my name is Harvey. Welcome to my site. I am here to talk to you about pest control. There are so many different pests in my area. We have spiders, ants, house centipedes and moths that seem to congregate together at various times of the year. In other parts of the world, there are even more pests waiting to enter the homestead undetected. I would like to share pest control practices everyone can use to keep insects out of their homes. I hope you will visit my site often to learn all you can about pest control. Thanks for visiting.

Moving Soon? 3 Ways To Keep Your New Home Pest-Free
Carlos Douglas
Moving is a rather extensive process, and most of your time is typically spent deciding what you what to keep, packing these items, closing accounts, and organizing the move. It is easy to forget about other important aspects, such as what you might be bringing with you to your new home. For example, if you know that you have a pest problem, you do not want to bring any unwanted critters along for the ride. Fortunately, you have a number of things that you can do to prevent this from happening.
Inspect Your Current Home
A thorough inspection of the home you currently live in is imperative. It is not worth taking any chances with an amateur check, so make sure to get professional help for this part of the process. They can tell you whether you have signs of cockroaches, termites, bed bugs, mites, or fleas. If a problem does arise, you can get further help from them to eliminate the problem through treatment or natural solutions. Bed bugs and termites should always be exterminated by a professional, but you can eliminate the likes of ants and cockroaches by making your home spotless and eliminating all food and water access.
Deep Clean Furniture
Similar to how you would clean used furniture before bringing it into your home, you want to do the same thing with the furniture that is currently in your home. It is best to spray each piece with a bug spray and to do it outside or in the garage, where you can let the fumes dissipate without causing harm. Ideally, you want to inspect every nook and cranny by disassembling furniture into as many pieces as you can. This will make it easier to look around and be able to do a thorough spraying to get rid of and prevent pests.
Analyze Hotels
When you know that you will stay at hotels along the way, you must be cautious with the ones you choose. If you have pets, you want all of your pets to have active flea and tick prevention. Bed bugs are another concern, and the best way to prevent these pests from invading your luggage is by thoroughly researching hotels to see if the ones you are interested in have had any history of bed bugs. If you need to, you should be willing to go on a shorter or longer drive to book a hotel that you trust completely.
Buying a home should also always include a thorough home inspection, so you should already know that the home you are moving into is pest-free. Following these steps will help you keep it that way.
