Your shed or storage space might be giving pests exactly what they need: shelter, shade, easy access, and very little disturbance. 🐭🕷️🐜
In this West Vancouver property walkthrough, we’re looking at some of the contributing conditions that can make sheds and storage areas more attractive to rodents, wildlife, spiders, ants, and other pests.
A few things to watch for around your property:
• Overhanging trees and vegetation that can create access toward roofs and structures
• Items stacked directly against exterior walls
• Gaps and openings that may become pest entry points
• Ropes, cables, and cords touching the building and creating climbing routes
• Rotten wood, old stumps, and deteriorating fence panels that can contribute to carpenter ant activity
• Dark, cluttered areas where pest activity can go unnoticed
Good pest management isn’t only about treating activity after it appears. Inspection, prevention, and correcting contributing conditions around the property can play an important role in reducing recurring problems.
If you’re noticing signs of pest activity around your home, shed, or other structures, contact Phantom Pest Control to discuss an inspection and property-specific pest-management options.
