Once a pest has invaded your home, there are many different hiding places that it can go. Some pests prefer different rooms to others based on factors like how much light the room sees, humidity levels, and more. When looking for unwanted critters, here are three common rooms that residential pest control companies take a look at.
- Garage. Garages are common for pests to nest in for many reasons. Garages get darker than most other areas of the home, and there are generally more opportunities for pests to gain entry as the doors open and close. Mice and other rodents in particular like garages, especially ones with a lot of storage or clutter, because it’s easy for them to find a place to hide.
- Attic. Lots of different types of pests like the attic because it typically gets much less foot traffic than other areas of the home. Like the garage, it also gets less light than other areas, and access to exposed insulation, wires, and clutter make for an ideal environment for pests building nests and looking for things to gnaw on. Residential pest control services often include deep looks into attics.
- Kitchen. Pests love to go where the food is, so naturally, they’re drawn to the kitchen. Some pests can easily gnaw through cardboard and gain access to dry food storage. Cockroaches, ants, and rodents are some of the more common pests that you may find in the kitchen. One tip to help prevent pests from singling out this area of your home is to keep food stored in airtight containers that pests can’t easily get into.
