Animal infestations in your home should not be taken lightly. Small animals can take residence all over your home in dangerous places that can not only cause minor annoyances but potentially damage to the infrastructure or functionality of your home. Luckily, there are options to safely help fight against these creatures no matter what species they are.
Rodent Exterminators
While finding a rodent exterminator Staten Island can solve a temporary problem, it should not necessarily be seen as a long-term solution. Rats and mice will almost always find ways back into your home, so it is much more effective to safeguard your home against future infestations. Aside from extermination, pest control specialists will protect your home from rodents by filling external holes in your home, sealing other openings that mice enjoy, such as trash cans, and you can help by keeping the pest-prone areas clean so that rodents are not enticed to enter your home in the first place.
Insect Exterminators
Similarly to rodent extermination, insect extermination is only effective to a certain extent because insects can always continue to invade your home even if you manage to exterminate all of them. Food is one of the most enticing items to insects, and having exposed food, including food in trash cans, can attract insects to your home. This, along with some other preventative measures, is one action you can safely take on your own. It is much smarter to leave the use of pesticides to the professionals as many of them are incredibly toxic, even to humans.
No matter if you have an insect problem, a rodent problem, or a problem with some other animal, there are services out there to help. Pest control is much more effective than relying solely on extermination, but learning what you need and hiring based on your specific circumstance will keep your home safe most effectively.
