Pest Prevention

Prevention Tips

Although we provide pest and termite control services, A&B Termite and Pest Control LLC believes in educating our clientele on what to do to prevent bug problems.

  • Perform routine inspections. We recommend performing inspections of your surroundings, both during the day and, because some creatures are nocturnal (come out at night), at night. Inspections should be done with a very bright flashlight. Be sure to look in crevices and for areas that may be a source of food and water for the pests.
  • Practice good sanitation and hygiene. Trash should always be disposed of. Don't leave open or empty food containers lying around. Don't store food for too long. Avoid clutter in attics, garages and basements. Regularly clean areas around appliances and common pet areas.
  • Pest-proof your home. We advise that all cracks and crevices should be caulked, leaking roofs repaired and bug screens placed on windows and doors. Openings larger than 1/4 inch should be sealed or closed to avoid mice and rats. Smaller openings should also be sealed, as they tend to invite smaller creatures such as ants, roaches and spiders.
