There are places in the world that are common areas of human activity that can be infested in the future by all manners and kinds of pests. These places are of course houses and offices. Before you do call a pest control Jensen Beach specialist there are some things you can do first. This article will help you, whether or not you live in Jensen Beach, FL, prepare a simple checklist that will forego your next call to the pest control people.

In your checklist for pest prevention you should have some pest control actions that you yourself can do to prevent a major swarm or infestation later on. These actions are fairly easy to do and all it takes is some personal discipline and drive to do these things regularly.

It is very important that you get rid of clutter first. Cluttered areas invite many sorts of pests to make their homes in and breed. Most likely the cluttered areas in your house or office will be storage areas and places where people do not often go to.

Another good step in pest prevention is a change in eating behavior. Try to eat only in the kitchen so as to avoid tracking food particles and crumbs everywhere in the house or the office. When at home, avoid eating in the bathroom, bedroom, den, or any other place you are not supposed to eat. The lesser food particles are dispersed, the less likely there will be an invitation for unwanted guests like rodents and insects.

Do take out the garbage and trash all the time at the same time or earlier. It is a chore that sadly many people abhor but it needs to be done. This is especially true of trash and garbage that have food in it or food scraps for that matter. These are prime targets for pests such as cockroaches and rats.

Also you can try a hand at getting rid of pests yourself instead of relying on outside help. When dealing with rodents try to stay away from tracking powders or poison. Although effective, rats that are poisoned will sometimes die in inaccessible places which will stink up your house or office.

Electric traps are a good alternative to poison, as well as snap traps or glue traps. These sort of traps are good for low pest populations, but it will be another matter if there is quite a sizeable swarm or horde of pests. For this it is the time that you really should call in an exterminator.

When you do call in an exterminator, prepare to evacuate the premises for one or two days. This is since the premises will be full of poisons that are harmful to humans as well.
