Pest Control: It’s All By Design

pest control services. Pests can be anything from rodents, to mammals, to insects that cause damage to your home, or try to take up residence inside of it. By eliminating pests, you can save yourself tons of money in costly repairs down the line. Preventative pest control is an even more proactive step you can take — spraying for bugs, or sealing up entrances to the home. However, part of preventative pest control comes down to design. The best way to gain an advantage in the battle against pests is to pay attention to the design of your home.

Material Choices Can Limit Pests’ Ability to Infiltrate the Home

Choosing treated lumber can prevent termites from gnawing their way through your home. Choosing concrete slabs for the foundation of your home prevents pests from getting inside or finding easy moisture sources. At every step in the design process, you can make material choices that reduce the likelihood that pests become a problem.

Conscious Design Choices Control Pests Ahead of Time

The design of your home itself can go a long way toward preventing pests from ever becoming a headache. Everything from the size of your vents to the type of drywall you use can aid in the reduction of pests. Choosing the right slope for surrounding asphalt and concrete can prevent termites. Even being conscious of landscaping (keeping tree branches and bushes away from your home’s roof and front door) can reduce the risk that critters or bugs become a problem.
