The last thing you want to discover inside your home in South Dakota or Iowa are pests. These unwelcome visitors are enough to send shivers down your spine, but there are a few things you can do to keep them from invading your inside space. First, you'll want to keep it clean and avoid leaving food out, as the odor attracts them. Second, you'll want to seal any cracks or gaps in your windows and doors to block potential entry points into your house. Lastly, while these efforts will help keep pests out, nothing is as effective as scheduling a perimeter pest control service. With this service, pros will visit your property several times to apply treatments proven to stop pests from entering your inside space, giving you peace of mind again!

1. Keep your home's inside space clean to avoid attracting pests.

One of the main reasons pests will come into your home is to search for food. Because of this, it's crucial to keep your inside space clean. Some things you can do include cleaning up any crumbs and spills right away, as this will serve as a buffet for pests. You'll also want to put food away in sealed containers to ensure they can't access it.

Additionally, you want to avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink and take out the trash every night to keep from attracting them to the odor of a potential food source. Maintaining a clean indoor environment can help reduce the reasons for creepy crawlers to invade your home, deterring and forcing them to look elsewhere.

2. Seal any cracks or gaps in windows and doors to block entry points for pests.

Another effective way to keep pests out of your home is to block any potential entry points. Cracks or gaps in your windows and doors are perfect for them to access your inside space, but sealing them will make it much harder for them to do so. You can do this with caulk, weather strips, and mesh, among other materials. After all, fewer easy access points equals discouraging pests from trying to find a way inside.

3. Schedule a Perimeter Pest Control Service for Your Home

While maintaining a clean inside space and sealing potential entry points can help reduce the pest population in your home, nothing is as effective as scheduling a perimeter pest control service. With this service, pros will visit your property several times throughout the active bug season to provide consistent, overlapping protection when you need it most.

They'll also use treatments proven to stop pests from entering your inside space, applying them to the exterior perimeter of your home, along with any cracks and small openings, to create a barrier they can't penetrate. That way, you can have peace of mind knowing that you have optimal coverage from creepy crawlers and can say goodbye to unwanted visitors for good!

Professional perimeter pest control treatments are effective against insects like cockroaches, ants, crickets, spiders, beetles, and more!
