Try to limit the amount of warm environments that you have in your house. Go around to different rooms in your home and try to gauge the temperature where the pests would want to live in the most. If you find a room that is too hot, try to reduce the overall temperature there.

 

If you have any leaky pipes or anything that drips water, make sure that you get them repaired. Leaving water around is a good way of keeping pests in your home. They will not want to leave because you are giving them a way to get the water that they need.

 

One pest that is known for being hard to eliminate is fleas. Thankfully, you can use several methods for eliminating fleas and their eggs. The first thing you have to do is use a vacuum every day and then you spray a good flea spray. Keep in mind that you must throw away the vacuum bag afterwords.

 

Go through the foundation and roof of your house to ensure that there're no cracks or holes that pests can get into. If you find any, make sure you seal them up as soon as possible. Try to avoid using typical caulk as they usually can chew through this. Your best bet is to use something made with copper or mesh.

 

Everything you recycle needs to be rinsed. One of the most important items to rinse is soda cans that contain a lot of sugar. Be certain to rinse soda bottles before placing them in your recycling bin.

 

If you believe you have bed bugs, you can help control the population by washing your clothes. However, you have to be careful when doing so. Put all of your clothing into a plastic bag. Seal it up to take it to the laundry room. Wash it all in the hottest water possible and then dry it on high heat. Remember that it is very hard to eradicate bed bugs on your own, so call around and see if a company will do a free inspection for you.

 

Pest repellents that are electronic prove very effective. Plug this device into outlets in every room, and the buzzing sound will repel rodents. Humans will be able to hear the sound, but the noise will not hurt you. Rodents will leave the area of the noise, since they do not like it.
