Tips To Follow Before a Pest Control Treatment
- Create space
During pest control treatment, the pests hide in the darkest and smallest areas, so take the furniture of your house for some time to restrict the pests’ hiding place. Provide adequate space for the pest control team to spread the chemicals all over, and also make sure you fix the tiny holes and cracks to prevent pests from hiding.
Repair the leakages of your taps and pipes and shift electronic appliances like televisions from your house since pest control sprays can affect them. Also, remember to keep your plants in open areas like a balcony or garden during the pest control treatment.
- Open the drawers and doorways
Before leaving the house for pest control, make sure you open all the cabinets, closets, drawers, and any doorway to allow the pest control team to spread the chemicals of pest control to every corner of your house.
- Shift your furniture away from walls
While the small furniture in your house can be taken out for a while, the big furniture, like the bed, sofa, bookshelves, etc., should be shifted away from the walls. This will help the pest control team find the pest activity across the house and work on the treatment accordingly.
- Shift your pets to a safe place
Keep your pets away from the house during pest control treatment since they can ingest the chemicals, and in some cases, the chemicals in the air can react to their skin, causing irritation and itchiness.
Furthermore, If you have aquariums, then cover them properly with a sheet so switch off the air pump during the pest control treatment to avoid the chemicals entering inside the aquarium.
- Move your kitchen appliances and food
Your kitchen appliances should be covered properly during the pest control treatment, and you should take all the food out with you till the treatment happens. Unplug your fridge and take the food items with you or store them in metal containers since plastic containers like flimsy plastic do not protect the food from pest control.
- Remove the clothes and covers from the furniture
Remove the bedsheets from your bed along with any covers on your furniture since these sheets or covers can help insects to hide and cause infestation after the pest control treatment.
