Have you noticed a few pests lurking around your home? Unfortunately, you may be suffering from a pest infestation. If you don’t currently have an infestation, noticing pests around the home is a huge warning sign your home is very susceptible to an invasion in the future.

Here are some reasons why pests may be making your London home, their home…

• Seeking refuge

  – The pests may want to seek shelter from harsh weather conditions inside your home. In the winter, they want shelter from the cold. In the summer, they need shelter from strong sunlight. Checking your home regularly for any cracks, crevices and holes will help you identify the pests’ entry point. Seal those entryways up fast, and stop any other pests from marching into your home.

• Keep it clean

  – Food attracts pests. Cleaning up any crumbs and spillages around your home will make your home a lot less attractive to a pest. If you have pets, don’t leave any uneaten food out either. Some pests absolutely love pet food, so take the proper precautions when it’s your dog’s dinner time. Remember to wipe down all of your surfaces and oven top when you’ve finished cooking, and keep any leftover food in sealed boxes.

• Eliminate moisture

  – Some rooms in your property may be damp and attracting pests, like the bathroom. Pests love moisture, so eliminating any signs of damp and water leaks is important for pest prevention. Any leaky water pipes should be fixed quickly to maintain a pest free home.
