The threat of pests is always present. Chances are, if it squeaks, buzzes, or has more legs than you do, you don't want it creeping in your home. Eliminating unwanted pests with a potent poison is a temporary solution to your pest problem, but the same stuff that's toxic to pests is often toxic to people, too -- especially kids. Because most pesticides treat symptoms of infestation, and not underlying causes they often don't work as well as prevention-based alternatives.

Here are some general tips for putting a lid on pests:

Step 1: Make Sure Your Home Is Clean and Dry

Many insects and rodents are attracted to warmth, darkness, spoiling food and standing water, so start off by making your home less hospitable to pests.

Empty your garbage can daily ensuring the lid fits securely. Clean up behind the bin as bits of food on the floor in dark corners are an attractive meal for rodents and pests.

Make sure all food and beverage containers outside the fridge or freezer are tightly sealed in glass or plastic containers.

Sweep and vacuum regularly (including mattresses).

Eliminate all sources of moisture. Fix leaky faucets and don't leave dirty, wet pots in the sink. If leaving dishes over the day, rinse dishes with soapy water before placing them into the dishwasher.

If you have a pet, comb it regularly with a flea comb and wash its bedding frequently. Be sure to vacuum floors, rugs and upholstery your pet comes in contact with regularly.

Keep unused areas tidy, avoid a build up of debris, paper and laundry etc.

STEP 2: Seal Entryways

Pests enter homes through cracks, crevices and inconspicuous holes. Believe it or not, a mouse can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime! Block entry points to new invaders by making sure they are sealed.

Use silicone caulk to seal any cracks and crevices in baseboards, moldings, cupboards, pipes, ducts, sinks, toilets and electrical outlets.

Place screens in front of vents, and replace any damaged screens.

Use a quick setting concrete to seal entry holes in basements.

Keep vegetation, stacked firewood and other debris away from the exterior of your house. These may alleviate access points or nesting locations for lurking pests.
