Albuquerque has great weather for people, but it also has great weather for pests. Although your best bet is to partner with a pest company that prevents pests from entering your home in the first place, you can still get rid of pests once they show up. Here are just a few tips that you can put into action right now.

Close Up the Food

Most of your pests are there following the food. Sugary foods are especially important to close up, as they draw the most pests. Put all snacks in the refrigerator. Close up your sugar packets, and clean up your kitchen after every meal. Do not take food into your bedrooms and bathrooms, especially if you do not vacuum on a regular basis!

Get Rid of Small Pests

Small pests in Albuquerque bring bigger pests, because the spiders and carnivores come to eat the smaller pests such as the mice and the cockroaches. If you see smaller pests around your home, take the time to get rid of them even if they are not bothering you. If you see spider webs in your home, get rid of them immediately so that they do not have time to mate inside your home.

Cut the Lawn

The pests that are now inside of your home came from the outside. Refusing to cut your grass or trim your hedges give those pests proximity to your entryways. The longer that you give pests tall, wet grass and wide bushes to hide and nest in, the more likely they are to come inside.

Use Acid Products

Boric acid along the walls of your home can get rid of certain pests if applied properly. Be careful when you are using these products, because they are potentially dangerous to you as well.

Wash Your Pets

Many pets bring pests with them when they get done with their overnight excursions outside. Make sure that your pets have collars, and wash them when they come in from overnight stays outside. Fido may not like it, but it will also keep him healthy while it is giving your home a measure of protection.

You can get rid of your pests by yourself, but it is much easier to call upon a professional to do it for you.
