Well, only environment is not responsible for giving birth to pests. Anything that is in the nature (outside your property) is natural and should not be touched. However, if pests come home despite regular pest control and management then is the time for you to reconsider few of your habits.
Let’s understand which poor habits are responsible for pest infestation at your property:
- Unclean Interiors
If uncleanliness is your attitude then wish you luck in dealing with pests. Any untidy place is a clear welcome call to all types of pests. Pests breed in untidy places and then keep multiplying in numbers if not paid attention to at the earliest.
- Poor Maintenance (Garden, Balcony or Yard)
You may have designed a beautiful garden, balcony or yard for yourself. But, if you have not maintained it well or from time to time, pests are bound to intrude in such places. No grass trimming, no pot cleaning, poor drainage system, accumulation of mud in the yard or garden area, fallen leaves, etc. are all a big welcome call to varieties of pests.
- Littering Food
Food littering is quite common in almost every house. If this is your regular habit and you fail to clean the litters after every meal then be prepared for a battle with pests. Pests easily get attracted to the smell of food even from a distance. You’ll always find them surviving in or near the food areas.
- Leaving Unwashed Utensils
Unwashed utensils have stains of food or curry. This emits pungent smell that attracts more pests to your place. If you have habit of not washing the utensils after meals, the chances of pest infestation at your place are quite higher.
- Disorganized Place
Many people have a habit of leaving things here and there after use. This makes your place properly disorganized. If things are kept haywire, pests find places to hide behind the things. The moment pests start hiding in such places, their number starts multiplying within no time.
- Uncovered Trash
Many people accumulate and throw trash in the can, but they do not close the lid tightly. Most of the trash across the world is kept open and this is the main cause of pest infestation in or near such areas. If you have such cans near your house, pests can enter your place too.
- Improper Food Storage
Uncovered food or food left in open (not in the refrigerator or storage containers) is a very dangerous situation. Pests easily contaminate such food and water and the diseases get transmitted to your body through such contaminated food or water. One has to be very particular about such habits as this can prove fatal too.
- Eating Anywhere
Have one dedicated eating place in the house and office. Eating anywhere makes the food litter which calls for pests. People who eat anywhere also have a habit of leaving the dining plates anywhere. This is a clear call for pests and diseases.
- No Attention to Property
Any wear and tear of property with time should be immediately acted upon. Crevices, cracks or gaps in the walls, roofs or ground are hiding spaces for pests. Hence, seal such gaps and do not leave any gap unattended.
- Lethargy and Procrastination
These two are the main reasons for all the above reasons. If you have been procrastinating any of things that require immediate action, you cannot prevent pests from entering your house. For more details, you can log on to websites such as http://pointepest.com/.
