When it comes to pest control Novi residents should know that the longer you put off doing something about it, the harder it will be to get rid of pests. Many, such as mice, and roaches, multiply quickly. The following tips from Pest Masters Inc., are designed to help you know when to call for help, and what you can do to minimize pest issues.

If you hear something in your attic, or your walls, it could be any number of animals. Do not try to find the animal yourself. This can be dangerous for you, the homeowner. Do not think that the animal will leave on its own. A nice warm house with plenty of food, is very inviting. Animals can chew your wiring, get into your food, and use your attic as their own personal bathroom.

Bugs are another common issue. Termites are one of the most destructive bugs that a home can have. Unfortunately, by the time you see signs of your wood being eaten, your home already has extensive damage. Look for tunnels in the dirt leading to your home. These termite tunnels are as sure sign of termites. You may also find wings on your window sills. Roaches are something that no homeowner ever wants to see in their home. If you see one and kill it, assume that there are already many more in the home. You have to get rid of them all.

Rats are destructive, they can eat through almost anything. This includes the screens in your basement, if they are in search of food. Keep trash cans closed at all times. Use sturdy barrels that are up on wheels and have covers attached. If you have dogs, go outside to clean up their waste daily. Pet waste attracts rats. If you take away the food source, rats will leave your yard to look for a more hospitable place to live. Walk around your home to check for holes and cracks that rats and mice can use to get inside. Your pest control professional can also inspect your home to ensure there no easy entrances for rodents. Click here for more information.
