Know Why Your Home Is Home For Pests

Summer is here and nobody loves it. Frankly speaking, who wants to wake up early, go to work in the red hot sun? While sun dawn with its brightest (read it warmest) light and give us a reason to get out, it also offers pests and rodents to come out and raid our houses.

Pests are also god-made creatures like us. So what a human needs a pest needs. Pests want food & water, need shelter and get attracted by scents. So, in order to find out why they are coming, you also have to find out what is alluring them for a house party.

Sometimes you attract pests with reasons you don’t even know. So to find out their psychology you also have to think like them. Here are some reasons which are likely to attract their invasion at your home:-

1. SHELTER

Everybody needs shelter for living so as pests. Cold places in summer, moisture in the rainy season and warm in winter. There has to be a number of reasons why pests are coming to your house and what’s letting them in. Proof check your house for openings.

• • Broken windows

You don’t even care about them being opened or broken but yes a crack in your window can give pests an entrance into your home.

• • Clutters

Your clutter of newspapers, rough papers or your pile of novels can be a hiding place for these little creatures. Keep them in cardboard and you will attract more pests.

• • Cracks and crevices

These little cracks in your wall and ceilings which you don’t even think about can be a camouflage for these pests.

• • Unwanted opening

Now you have proof-checked your house and has blocked every entrance for these evil creatures but sorry there may be some unwanted openings and you can’t help yourself with it. Just like the bottom opening in your house entrance or from your chimney.

2. WATER

Water is an attractant of pests and they love moisture. That’s why many pests are found near rivers & lakes. They can also be found near stagnant water and faucets.

• • Stagnant water

Remember that bucket you left in your garden filled with water and the tap you left the dripping water. H20 or stagnant water is a friend of pests and their favorite spot for giving birth. So try to decrease the source of water available in your house to keep them out.

• • Moisture

Pests are very likely to get attracted by moisture that’s why you will see a number of pests in your bathroom. Add an exhaust fan or dehumidifier in your bathroom to stop their entrance.

• • Broken pipelines & Faucets

The pipelines inside your basins and your faucets can be a direct entry for these thieves in your house. Make sure they are not broken.

3. FOOD

Every living being on this planet needs food to survive. Even trees need water and sunlight and so even pets can’t live without food. This is the main reason for their intruding into your house. Breadcrumbs which you left earlier or the sip off juice you spill of is enough reason for these pests to come with their army.

• • Rotten fruits

The fruits you didn’t care for being swelled can be an invitation for these creatures to come into your house. Make sure you dispose of garbage regularly.

• • Pet food

You gave food to your pet (I know you love them and you can’t see them starve) and after their belly is full they left their food unattended. Now, it’s party time for these creeps. The food your dog or cat left can become a problem for you.

• • Left food

Recall your last night where you ate food improperly and left food on your plate. Now you sleep and you remain unattended to your dishes left food overnight. VOILA! You invited pests.

4. SCENTS

From deodorants to lotions, and from your head to your stinking socks you are carrying enough to attract these pests. Pests love odor and can be their best attractant into your house. Avoid these scents for a pest free house.

• • Floral Scents

Flower bouquet in your house or garden of them in your yard can easily allure pests. Even deodorant and cream with floral scents attract pests.

• • Stinky shoes & socks

Pests like stinky odor coming from sweat and humidity. And your stinky shoes and socks filled with that sweat that kills you off can be a stimulant for them. Avoid keeping your shoes inside your house openly.

• • Beer

This may seem crazy and weird both but yes people who drink are most likely to attract pests. People filled with alcohol allure more pests than non-drinkers and their scent tempts them. So stop drinking if you can for dual benefits.

• • Garbage

Stop making garbage dues from today. Garbage collected in your house attracts pests and is their favorite hideout. They got lure by the odor of garbage and even find food inside those garbage bags.
