Pest Exclusion + Pest Management: Better Together!
Did you know that keeping pests OUT of your home can actually help your pest management program work BETTER?
Pests are constantly searching for food, water, and shelter, and your home or business can offer all three!
Here's something important to remember: Having routine pest management doesn't mean pests stop trying to get inside. They're still out there looking for the resources they need!
That's where exclusion comes in. Sealing potential entry points not only helps keep pests outside, but can also make your pest management program more effective.
Let's look at a couple of examples!
🐭 RODENTS: Sealing entry points helps deny mice and rats access to food and shelter indoors, potentially increasing their likelihood of encountering properly placed exterior bait stations and other control measures.
🪳 CRAWLING PESTS: Cockroaches, ants, earwigs, and other occasional invaders often enter through gaps around plumbing, doors, and foundations. Closing these pathways helps keep them outside, where targeted treatments can help control their activity.
Can we seal EVERY possible entry point?
Not necessarily! But identifying and addressing the openings pests are most likely to use can make a BIG difference. The goal isn't an impenetrable fortress. It's making your home or business a harder place for pests to enter!
🚪 Exclusion reduces opportunities for pests to get inside.
🛡️ Routine pest management helps control pest activity in and around your home.
Together, they can provide better, longer-lasting results, often with less need for pesticide applications indoors.
Because effective pest management isn't about how much pesticide you apply. It's about understanding pest behavior and choosing the right solutions.
IT TAKES A PLAN!
