There are certain things all homeowners need to do. <br /><br />Ants are a big headache. Even a few ants can mean a whole colony is hiding inside or just outside your home. You must keep food sources away. Check roof and pipes for leaks since damp wood attracts them.<br /><br />Cockroaches are another major problem pest. Any location with a source of food and water is like a magnet to them. Once your home is infested they are notoriously difficult to eliminate.<br /><br />Rats and mice are trouble too. It takes the smallest of cracks to enter! Seal all cracks they can access; even just 1/4-inch wide is enough. Plug with spackling compound. Consider mixing steel wool fragments in too. This keeps rats from gnawing back inside.<br /><br />Monitor chimney and attic entrance holes. Raccoons and bats can enter. Put a screen made of wire mesh on these entrance holes.<br /><br />Call a professional company if residential pest control problems are too big. They know what to do and how to do it!
