Every individual homeowner takes up this tedious task of cleaning the house and making it pest-free as the new year commences. Hiring professional pest control services in Surrey is an ideal option to clean up your home and get it pest free for the new year. After all, a new year is all about new beginnings. Hence, a clean and pest-free home will certainly bring positivity to the life of the inhabitants residing in the same.
Four Ways to Make your House Pest-Free this New Year
Seal the Exterior Cracks
The unnoticed cracks and crevices are all the pests’ major entry points. Hence if you have gaps or holes or cracks in the walls, ages, windows or near the foundations, hire professionals before your new year party and get them sealed. Also, check the places in your house where the moisture deposit is high and keep them as dry as possible since pest infestation occurs in moisture areas.
Keep your Gutters Clean
The major part of the pest infestation takes place within the uncleared and dirty gutters. Hence it is your responsibility to check the condition of the gutters and clear away the debris, dry leaves and twigs to ensure a smooth flow of water. Hire gutter cleaning experts to check the inside walls of the drain pipes and make sure that they are not the entry point for the guests to crawl inside your house.
Fix your Doors and Window Holes
At the beginning of the new year, it should be on your priority list to check all the doors and windows for cracks and holes and hire a professional to fix them. All the small holes might get noticed; however, remember that the pests like ants make their way into your house through these cracks and gaps on the sides of the doors and windows.
Clean Up your Surroundings
It is also essential to clean up the garden and the surrounding backyard areas of your house to prevent pest infestation in the New Year. Make sure you cut off the overhanging branches and keep off the dry leaves. A fresh garden is generally uninviting for the pests. If you enjoy keeping your home warm with firewood stacks, then make sure that you keep the firewood at least 20 feet away from the house. The wood stacks are the best abode for termites and ants.
