The Importance of Prevention

Pests are a dime a dozen around any property. From silverfish to cockroaches, there is always something lurking just out of sight. Throwing down physical traps, baits or poisons might put a dent in your infestation but these are normally not enough to clear them away completely. One of the key components of keeping pests away is prevention.

Whether you are already experiencing an infestation or are seeing signs of one on the horizon, Toodaloo technicians can lend a hand. From the ground level to sky-high techniques, there is nowhere for pests to hide out.

Assessing the Situation

The first step to any successful pest removal is a proper assessment. Treatment methods can’t be functional without figuring out where these creeping crawlers are getting in. Removing pest populations takes time and energy, so no one wants another infestation rearing its head. In order to make results last, it is important to track down entry points.

Current Infestations: If you are currently dealing with unwanted pests, it means that they have found a way to sneak inside. Depending on the type of insect or rodent that you are dealing with, they are more likely to creep in at the ground level. Cracks in foundations or openings near air conditioning units can be a revolving door for ants, sow bugs and other tiny terrors. More agile intruders, like mice or squirrels can climb in from roofing and chimneys.

Potential Infestations: Not all infestations are subtle. Pigeons, for example, are loud, dirty and hard to miss. If these birds are hanging out around your property, netting, spikes or other humane traps can discourage them from coming back. Finding new ways to keep those birds at bay means preventing damage that comes along with them.
