Insects such as termites, wasps and bees, cockroaches, gnats, and have zero respect for your home or your personal space. They’re touchy-feely creatures who anticipate the arrival of warm weather. For homeowners who live on the lakefront, pests become even more bothersome than usual as they find their way into our homes, boats and docks, and patio furniture. They’re not at all shy about introducing themselves, all too hopeful of becoming your new BFF and sharing your property.
Pest Control in Alpine
The best way to get back your lakefront life is with help from professional pest control experts. If you want to stop infestations before they start, an automatic pest control misting system can help make that happen. It is more beneficial to prevent a problem than it is to eliminate pests after they become an issue. Homeowners who stay atop of pest control see fewer pests during the year and enjoy more time outdoors without fear of getting bitten.
How to Prevent Lake House Pest Problems
Other simple measures homeowners can take to protect their lake house from pests include:
- Trim trees, keeping branches from overhanging onto the house or side of the home. We recommend placing trees and other shrubberies at least three feet away from the house.
- Caulk your doors to seal up any gaps and add weatherstripping to the windows. This protection keeps the home warmer during the winter and keeps out pests.
- Rake the leaves. While a daunting task, raking leaves beautifies your property while minimizing potential damage and problems with pests.
- Keep gutters clean. Insects love to hang out in gutters, and sometimes, gutter guards won’t stop them. Clean gutters at least twice per year to maintain optimal pest control.
- Seal up any gaps or cracks that may serve as an entry point for eager pests ready to come to cool off and relax inside the home.
