Preparing for Pest Control
Preparing your home for Pest Control
Imagine that you are just getting back from a nice family vacation and when you get home you walk into the kitchen to get a nice refreshing glass of water, only to find our that your sink have been taken over by ants… This is not what you want to have to deal with just getting home. You are thinking about what to do, DIY pest control or call Morgan Pest Control and have one of our trained and licensed techs come out to fix it. The following are some tips that will make it now only easier on our techs but it could have a better chance at keeping the ants away for a longer period of time.
Preparing for Ant Control Services:
Before we have a tech come out to your home, most companies will leave a couple steps to help prepare for that service. We don’t just give these to you to ignore, these steps make it easier for our technicians to do their job and make it the safest way possible to do so. For these reasons if your home is not properly prepared for our techs they may be required to not treat that area and will have to come back another day. We want our techs to be as safe as they can while out at your house.
- Wipe counters, sweep floors, and clean up any spills that are in the kitchen to reduce the ants food source.
- Vacuum the floors to pick up ALL the crumbs, especially the ones you can’t see.
- Store all your food in pest-proof containers.
- Empty trash regularly.
- Wash dishes and/or run the dishwasher regularly.
- Never leave any pet food out after the pet has finished eating.
- If you recycle always rinse containers out thoroughly.
- Be prepared to answer any questions that the techs may have, including where you have been seeing the ants or where they have been in the past.
After the Pest Control Service:
- Be patient. The bait will not immediately kill the ants, the bait will take time to kill the ants. Baiting is the best way to get rid of the entire colony of ants.
- Do not spray any insecticides or kill any ants that you see. The ants that you will see, need to continue eating the bait and taking it back to the colony. Do not kill them, they will die on their own.
- Avoid using any strong cleaners, especially near any of the bait. You could get rid of the ants pheromone trail that the rest of the ants are using to find the bait.
- Leave all the ants that are heading towards or away from the bait alone. They will bring some of the bait back to the queen the queen will also die from the bait.
- Let us know how we did and if there was a problem with our service.
Pest Control – 5 Ways It Can make Your Holidays Merrier
Everyone loves having a great holiday break and spending time with family and friends but did you count on the extra pests coming into your home for the holiday celebrations? No one ever wants extra unwanted guests in their home, especially when you already have guests that you love having in your home. Everyone just wants to have a worry free holiday with their friends and family. Below are 5 ways pest control can make your holidays merrier and keep those unwanted guests away:
- Keep your Kitchen Clean- The holidays are times where most people spend their time cooking and baking. Always make sure you clean up your kitchen every time after you are done cooking or baking. Pests, mostly ants, can smell the littlest piece of food and come in to find it. Also make sure that you properly seal off all opened food, whether its canned food, bagged food, or your yummy leftovers.
- Keep your firewood stacks away from your home- It’s cold outside and a lot of people use this time of year to have fires going inside their homes. Yes, some don’t need wood but others are wood burning fireplaces. If you do use firewood, keep it stored away from your house and try to keep it covered the best you can. Pests like to stay warm and will make their own homes in your stacks of firewood.
- No bed bugs- Guests at your home over the holidays can be hard but you love them and always have the best time. However, there are times when you need a break and everyone needs their own beds. Well you don’t want any of those beds to have bed bugs do you? Keep your sheets clean and use regular pest control services to help keep the bed bugs away.
- Know where your tree comes from- Decorating a Christmas tree for the holidays is one of the biggest traditions that most people love to do with their families. However, if you don’t know where that tree comes from you could be bringing pests into your home without even knowing. If you don’t know where your tree is coming from make sure to shake the tree out and inspect it for any pests before bringing it into your home.
- Use regular pest control services- It can be kind of embarrassing when your guests come over and they keep finding pests around your house. And you don’t want your kids, Christmas Morning, running around chasing roaches or other pests instead of chasing their toys. Everyone just wants to enjoy their holidays with their friends and family and not have to worry about unexpected and unwelcome guests. Call Morgan Pest Control today to schedule services!
