There are many ways to get rid of pests, but it’s always best to seek professional help. Everyday pests can hide in many places; experts know these things like the backs of their hands.
 
Stop the pests once and for all before they stop your business. In the meantime, here’s a couple of tricks to keep the pests at bay without harming you or the environment.
 
 
Identify Pests
 
Before you can truly make a game plan, you must understand what has infiltrated your building.
 
What solutions you’ll choose depends on what you’re dealing with. If you can’t identify them yourself, it’s time to call in the professionals with pest control solutions in Sacramento. Safe, organic solutions are available from the professionals too. With their intimate knowledge of what is threatening your business, you can be sure they’ll be taken care of the first time.
 
 
Seal up Cracks and Crevices
 
Seal up all cracks and crevices in your walls. This includes under sinks and appliances, around pipes and vents, behind the trim on walls and ceilings, in cabinets, etc. Don't forget to check the attic, basement, and even inside walls for small openings that pests could use to enter your building.
 
 
Use Repellents
 
There are two types of repellents: natural and chemical. Natural repellents include peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, lemon juice, and orange peel extract. They're all effective against ants, roaches, and other household pests. You’ll need a spray bottle with water or some cotton balls. Add ten drops of any of the oils listed below that fit your problem to the spray bottle.
 
Spray the rooms or saturate cotton balls with the following:
 
# Ants: spearmint, peppermint, or lemon
 
# Roaches: tea tree or eucalyptus
 
# Fleas: lavender, lemongrass, or peppermint
 
# Flies: rosemary, peppermint, eucalyptus, or basil
 
# Mosquitos: peppermint, lemongrass, or tea tree
 
# Spiders: spearmint, peppermint
 
 
Remove the Food Source
 
# Remove the food and water source.
 
# Get rid of their shelter.
 
# Remove clutter, such as garbage and lumber that provides hiding places for pests.
 
# Clean thoroughly. Consider using a vinegar and water mix to wipe down surfaces. Critters like ants leave a trail for their friends to follow. The vinegar will break it down leaving no more invitations for friends to come over for dinner.
 
 
Ensure Proper Drainage
 
Mosquitos, cockroaches, and ants love wet environments. Check your property and make sure that there’s no standing water. Fix potholes and cracks so there’s nowhere for that water to stand for long periods.
 
The idea is to make your property less appealing. The more you take care of it, the less likely those pesky pests will make it their home.
