• PEST RISK FACTORS • Open garbage cans stored under the sink can be a magnet for flies, rodents, roaches and ants. • Mice, roaches and other pests can enter a home through tiny gaps between plumbing pipes and walls. • Food that is not sealed tightly can attract pests such as roaches and rodents. • Improperly sealed attics or crawl spaces can become access points for spiders, rodents and other pests. • A leaking roof or a blocked gutter can accumulate moisture, a breeding ground for mosquitoes. • Mosquitoes, flies and other pests enter through small openings around windows and doorframes. • Some pests can reach your home via high grass or yard debris. • Piles of firewood stacked near your home can lead to pests such as carpenter ants and termites.
Rodents Rats colonize in walls and under porches and harbor serious diseases. Mice seek food, water and warmth. Mice can produce 200 offspring in 4 months.
Cockroaches Wreck havoc on your home. They enter thru cracks, vents, pipes, grocery bags and boxes. Your home is an ideal breeding ground - food, warmth and water. Roaches aggravate allergies.
Spiders To control seal holes around pipes and exterior walls and install tight fitting screens on all vents.
Snakes Snakes are dangerous pests to have living around your home or property. Seeking warmth they will often make their way indoors and live undetected for months.
Moths Often called fabric pests, these insects (depending on the species) will feed on plants, food, fabrics like cotton/wool/cashmere or generally any organic material.
