We Target Pests Where They Live.

Even if you only see pests in one spot, perhaps the kitchen, they may be making themselves at home all over your house. Fortunately, your pest control professionals at Havard Pest Control know just where to find pests and just where to treat for them.

How to ban bugs from your house:

The following steps noted by your pest control operator will help keep your home pest-free:

Cockroaches and other indoor pests:

• Clean up food spills and crumbs immediately
• Keep food lids closed
• Repair leaking faucets and drains
• Keep appliances and counters clean of grease and food
• Store grocery bags away from food preparation areas

Ants, occasional invaders and other outdoor pests:

• Move your garbage collection area away from the house
• Caulk around doors, windows and utility inlets
• Store firewood away from the house
• Put a one-foot wide path of pea gravel around the house to deter entry
• Use screens in doors and windows
• Repair cracks in foundations, walls and especially basements
• Clean gutters and down-spouts
• Remove leaf litter promptly
• Trim shrubs and trees away from house
• Install ‘non-attracting’ or yellow light bulbs

Fleas:

• Have a veterinarian treat your pet for fleas before returning it to your home
• Wash pet bedding often in hot, soapy water
• Vacuum thoroughly in areas where pets spend time
• Inspect pets for fleas and ticks often, especially in summer
• Vacuuming is beneficial after a flea treatment, but avoid steam cleaning carpets
