Stay Calm & Assess the Situation
The first step in any emergency is to remain calm. Take a moment to assess the extent of the pest issue. Identify the type of pest, the areas affected, and potential entry points. This initial evaluation will guide your subsequent actions.
Remove Immediate Threats
If the pests pose an immediate threat to health or safety, prioritise their removal. Use non-toxic methods when possible.
Seal Entry Points
Pests often exploit vulnerabilities in your home’s defences. Identify and seal potential entry points to prevent further infiltration. This may involve using caulk to fill gaps, installing door sweeps, or repairing damaged screens.
While these are temporary solutions, they can significantly reduce the likelihood of pests entering your space.
