There are a few different steps that you can take if you are worried about pests taking up residence in your home or commercial building. If you do not maintain the home well, then you are inviting the pests to come in and make it their own home as well. It only takes a tiny hole, often something smaller than we can see, to allow the pest to come into your home and bring a lot of friends. Imagine what can happen when the hole is much bigger and we can see it!

Your first line of defense to make sure that you do not have a pest problem is to go around the property and block access to any area that the pests may choose to use. This can include things like sealing the gaps in window frames or replacing the caulk around the sink and bathtubs. This may seem silly, but it is going to matter. If you do some tasks each year to weatherproof the home, make sure these are still done to keep the bugs out. 

Another thing to consider is inspecting your home for potential water issues. Small leaks from faucets or from under the sink can be enough for pests to thrive and even breed. If you notice a plumbing leak, then make sure that the basement or the crawlspace doesn’t have a leak coming in, because this is going to be an ideal home for the insects to enjoy. 

Of course, maintenance is not just something that you need to do inside of the property either. You need to look for some potential sources of standing water outside of the home, especially if you do not clean your gutters often. Clean the gutters, make sure that the water in any ponds or other water features is circulating often, and keep the landscaping around your property up to date and looking good. You do not want a mess to encourage the pests to come and make your commercial property their new home.
