• Exclusion: Exclusion is the best way to keep pests out of your home. We will inspect your home to identify any areas where pests could be getting in, and then we will seal those entry points so that pests can’t get inside.
• Sanitation: Keeping your home clean can help deter pests. We will provide you with a list of things you can do to make your home less attractive to pests, such as keeping your kitchen clean, taking your trash out regularly, and keeping food in sealed containers.
• Moisture control: Many pests are attracted to moisture. We will inspect your home for any moisture issues, such as leaky pipes or clogged gutters, and provide you with a list of recommendations to help you keep your home dry.
• Cultural controls: Cultural controls are things you can do to help deter pests. For example, you can plant pest-resistant plants in your garden, store firewood away from your home, and keep your grass short.
• Biological controls: Biological controls are natural predators that can help keep pests under control. For example, ladybugs eat aphids, so if you have an aphid problem, releasing ladybugs in your garden can help get rid of them.
• Chemical controls: Chemical controls can be used to eliminate pests that are already inside your home. However, it’s important to choose a pest control company that uses child-safe products. At Aiken Pest Control, we use child-safe products that are highly effective at eliminating pests.
