Continue reading to learn about the standard rules that everyone should know before having pest control treatments performed in their house or commercial property:
Cleaning the house before the treatment helps increase the effectiveness of the treatment. Vacuum the house including the corners, cracks and crevices that house eggs and larvae of the pest.
The chemicals used for pest control are likely to remain in the air for a longer time even after the procedure. You would not want particles of chemicals on your food containers or kitchenware. To prevent that from happening, you are advised to store the food containers, jars, cookware, and kitchenware in another room or in cabinets that would not be sprayed on.
Clean out the kitchen well. Make sure there are no food crumbs on the countertops or on the cooking range. Wipe and clean the cooking appliances too. Cover all the appliances and other utensils used during cooking or remove them and store them away so they do not come in contact with the pest control chemicals and products. Allow enough space between the appliances and the walls for your pest control technician to evaluate the space and look for traces of pests and insects.
You also have to pull up heavy furniture such as sofas, coffee tables, wooden shelves & cabinets, and work desks away from the walls ahead of time. The areas behind these items provide pests with adequate range to hide. Shifting the heavy furniture and making way will enable the pest control technician to access those spaces and look for signs of infestation. Doing so before their arrival, will also save them time and give them more time and space to work with accuracy and concentration.
Your pets are likely to experience sensitivity to the pest control products used. To prevent them from experiencing any discomfort or allergies, arrange for them to spend the day with your neighbours or friends. Doing so will help the pest control expert to do their work without having to deal with irritating pets. They can comfortably access doors and windows and enter narrower spaces to assess and treat your pest problem without fear of your pet getting in their way or running outside or irritating them.
The pest controllers would need proper access to every nook and corner of the property for the proper spraying of the appropriate chemicals and pesticides. Providing them with the required access will help them do a better job.
Eliminate any storage boxes, cardboard, plastic bags, piles of newspapers, toys, shoes, books, study material etc. as these provide pests with the most place to hide in. This will be useful for the pest controllers to identify the hiding spots and gaps exploited by the pests to live in. Likewise, it would also be helpful to inform your pest control technicians about all the places where you have sighted pest activity in. This will ensure no area gets left out and that all likely infested areas are treated.
Contact a professional pest controller if you have been noticing pest activity on your property lately. If the neighbours are responsible for the pest issue then you may also start noticing pests on your property. Take appropriate corrective measures like hiring a reliable pest control service before the situation goes out of hand.
