Preventing Future Infestations

Many pest control technicians focus solely on eliminating the current infestation, neglecting the crucial step of preventing future occurrences. This often leads to repeated call outs and ongoing frustration for homeowners.

At Green Pest Control Services, I go beyond simply eliminating the existing rodent problem. I take proactive measures to prevent future infestations by:

• Identifying and Sealing Entry Points: I carefully inspect your property to identify potential entry points for rodents, such as cracks and crevices in the foundation, gaps around pipes and wires, and holes around vents and chimneys. I will then recommend and, where possible, implement appropriate exclusion methods, such as:
  • Installing mesh screens to cover vents and other openings.
  • Using specialised exclusion materials to seal gaps and cracks around pipes and wires.
  • Employing anti-gnaw fillers to deter rodents from chewing through materials.
• Addressing Underlying Issues: I will work with you to identify and address any factors that may be attracting rodents to your property, such as readily available food sources or harborage areas.
• Providing Preventative Advice: I will provide you with valuable advice on how to prevent future rodent infestations, including:
  • Proper food storage and sanitation practices.
  • Steps to eliminate potential harborage sites.

For complex or difficult-to-repair entry points, I will provide clear recommendations and refer you to contact a qualified building professional who can assist with the necessary repairs.

By taking these proactive measures, I aim to not only eliminate the current rodent problem but also prevent future infestations, saving you time, money, and the stress associated with recurring rodent issues.
