Pest Control Tips When Moving Into a New Home

Moving into a new home is exciting, but it also comes with a few extra considerations. One of the most important is that you need to inspect and protect your new home from unwanted pests. Doing this will not only protect your home from damage, but it will also give you peace of mind that your family is safe from potential health risks. Here are three tips for pest-proofing your home when moving in. 

Clean Before Moving In 

The first step to keeping pests out of your new home is to clean it thoroughly before you move in. This means removing any dirt or debris left behind by the previous homeowner, vacuuming carpets, mopping floors, and wiping down surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner. Doing this helps to remove any food residue that could attract pests such as cockroaches, ants, rodents and other vermin. It’s also a good idea to make sure there are no leaks or standing water in the sink or bathtub which can attract mosquitos and other insects as well. 

Seal Entryways and Doors 

Another important step in pest-proofing your new home is sealing any entryways and doors where pests might enter. This includes both exterior doors as well as interior ones leading out into the garage or basement. It’s important to check all windows too – use caulk or weather stripping around the frames to ensure they are properly sealed so that no pests can sneak in through cracks or tiny openings. If possible, repair any broken screens on windows as these are another common entry point for bugs and rodents alike. 

Call in the Experts 

If you're still feeling uneasy about potential pest problems after taking these steps yourself, you may want to consider calling in a professional residential pest control service to do an inspection of your home before moving in. A professional service can detect potential problem areas before they become major issues and offer solutions for how best to keep pests away from your property going forward – including chemical treatments if necessary. Plus their expertise can help bring peace of mind knowing that you’re doing everything possible to keep your new home safe from unwanted guests!
