How to get rid of insects

The most effective way to get rid of insects is to call the professionals. The DIY methods that are on the market are largely ineffective in completely eradicating a insect infestation. Even if it appears to work in the short term, the chances of you catching every insect without the help of a pest specialist are low. Ehrlich Pest Control has pest control specialists who train year round to offer the best methods to get rid of pests and offer solutions homes and businesses can use to prevent pests from coming back.

There are, however, some things that you can do in your home or business to help get rid of insects or even prevent a problem from the beginning:

• Garbage management - change out the garbage bags often and make sure all receptacles are tightly sealed. Make sure garbage is removed regularly, too. Many pests look for food in garbage cans.
• Find potential entrances - seal cracks and install door sweeps and window screens. Mice and rats can crawl into holes as small as dimes or quarters. Insects can get in through holes in screens, holes in siding and other openings.
• Food spills and management - clean up spilled substances and ensure that all food is well-sealed or stored in glass containers. Tiny crumbs can keep ants feasting for weeks. Rodents can get their water and moisture from food, so they will also seek out food spills or food which is easily accessed.
• Repair water Leaks - repair pipes and leaking kitchen/bathroom fixtures so pests do not have access to the moisture source. Air conditioners and other appliances can also leak water or cause condensation to gather and make everything wet. For some insects, a wet environment is the perfect place for breeding.
• Standing water removal - drain garden ponds and bird baths often to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds. Even a cup of water left out can become a breeding ground. Puddles or areas where water gathers can become the perfect source for mosquito eggs and larvae.
