Quite simply, the best way to prevent an infestation of any kind is to recognise that pest management is a process rather than a one-time event. <\/span><\/p>\n

Below we have detailed the best ways to practice effective preventative methods so that your home and business remain pest-free. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have an inspection <\/b><\/p>\n

Rodent infestations can be particularly difficult to detect because rats and mice will generally do everything they can to avoid human contact. Even if you haven\u2019t physically seen any pests, schedule an inspection and if you\u2019re in the food industry, make this a regular occurrence.<\/span><\/p>\n

These inspections will focus on areas pests are most likely to appear and will also identify any potential entry points and food and water sources which may encourage problems. <\/span><\/p>\n

Take preventable action <\/b><\/p>\n

Your inspections will reveal any vulnerabilities in your pest management programme so make sure you take the necessary steps before they cause big problems. By undertaking any recommended structural maintenance and eliminating potential food and water sources, you drastically reduce the chances of a pest infestation occurring in the first place. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysis <\/b><\/p>\n

If you have identified that you do in fact have a pest problem, the best way to prevent it from happening again is to work out what the source was. Are they finding their way in through floors or walls? Is food debris luring them in? Did you receive a shipment that was infested? The answer to these questions will help you to decide on future control techniques. <\/span><\/p>\n
