HOUSE IMPROVEMENT 101 |
|
If you believe that only the things visible to your eyes are a threat to your home, then you’re highly mistaken. There are many things that are putting your beautiful home at risk on a daily basis. And what’s even worse is that you may not even be aware of it. Well, just because you can’t see cockroaches or bugs running all over your house doesn’t mean it is safe and sound. Here are some signs you must watch out for and tips to prevent these infestations. Tapping In The Wall Believe us, tapping in the wall doesn’t always mean that there is a ghost at your place. Well, at least not every time! At times, this sound is an indication of termites in your house. Well, the tapping sound might feel as if these little destructive creatures are banging their head against the wall. If you get to hear something like this, then it is time for you to immediately call the pest control to prevent any further damage. If this problem increases, it might quickly drain your wallet- you are warned! Spiders Spiders feed on insects. So if you notice them in your home, then there are higher chances that your house is a safe keep for insects. Bugs might not be visible to your eyes, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any. This simply means that the spiders are feeding on them, although this won’t last longer. Thus, if you see spiders consider it as a warning that it is the time to bug-proof your home. Fish-Scales/Wood-Coloured Pellets Just because your home is termite-proofed doesn’t mean that it will go easy on your pocket. Termites usually shed their wings after reproducing and start finding a new nest. If you find a pile of discarded wings that looks like fish-scale or little wood coloured pellets (termites dropping), then take it as a sign that termites are near your area. Well, who knows your home can be their next nest. Sesame Seeds/Shredded Paper If you see black sesame seeds spilled everywhere then know that there is a mouse living with you. Their droppings look a lot like these seeds. You can find them scattered behind your toaster, over or in your cupboard and all of this indicates the same- “You are living with a mice!” Apart from sesame seeds if you observe shredded paper around your garbage then know that it didn’t come there on its own. In fact, even that’s done by a mouse. When you see all of this, it only tells you one thing and that is “you need to take immediate action to get rid of these pests.” Anthill
Few ants crawling here and there is not a big thing that needs your attention. Nevertheless, if they are coming out of a colony residing in your wall, then it could be really bad, especially, if they are carpenter ants, as they can build their burrow through woods. You need to immediately get rid of this problem before it destroys your home. If ever you notice a pest control truck outside your neighbour’s house, then pump yourself up because it is a warning coming your way. Pest problems have a huge impact on the people living nearby. So get ready to fight it off!
