A-1 Able Pest Doctors knows that you don’t want to see bugs and rodents in your home. These pest prevention tips are here to keep them away from your property.

• Outside doors must be well sealed. If light can be seen from around or under a door, then insects can gain access into your home.
• Keep air conditioning filters clean and thermostats properly adjusted so mold and mildew build-up does not attract tiny insects.
• Check for plumbing leaks and seal off gaps around plumbing pipes behind cabinetry. Don’t let water accumulate anywhere in or around the home.
• Check grout around bathtubs and toilets. A good caulk seal will assure small insects such as silverfish and ants cannot enter these locations.
• Check the attic for unnecessary clutter and to ensure all gable vents are screened. Seal up any cardboard boxes to prevent insects from nesting inside.
• Store all open food in tightly sealed containers or in the refrigerator.
• If you have a pet, don’t leave pet food or water out overnight.
• Check for pests hiding in packages or boxes before carrying them inside your home.

• Treat doors, eaves, windows, and the house’s foundation
• Remove cobwebs
• Provide documentation of work performed, and the follow up work
