Building Design and Maintenance Guidelines for Pest Control

Pest presence either inside the living space or surroundings has repercussions on health and safety.

For example, pests can contaminate food. As a result, it leads to the transmission of several diseases. That’s why the occupants need to follow certain building design and maintenance guidelines.

Ensure the surrounding is free from debris. Again, there shouldn’t be any stagnant water.
Make sure the walls and roof are waterproof. Otherwise, the moisture on it will attract pests.
Check doors and windows are a tight fit so that pests won’t enter.
Put on exterior lights so that insects won’t swarm near the building.
Always maintain the garbage inside the home and try to empty it on a daily basis. If there are containers outside the home, then it must be covered with lids.
Identify the cracks and crevices inside the home and eliminate those. Because these places could be breeding grounds for pests.
Keep food containers on the pallets and place them a little bit away from the walls. As a result, you can inspect and clean from time to time.
Keep the rodent traps at strategic locations.
