Here are some preventive measures that you can follow religiously in order to prevent any bad things such as pest infestation from happening in your very own home: 

• Do not give them access to their source of food 

There are many and different sources of food for different pests that can infest in your home; the most important thing is that you do not give them access to a source of their food so that there will be no reason for you them to stay on your property. All kinds of pests cannot survive without a food source, so do not give them one. 

For rodents, they access your pantry because the sweets that you have hiding there are one of their favorite food sources in a home. Often times, you will see unopened packets of biscuits, candies, or any type of food have bite marks from rodents, hence, this is the reason why you should keep your food away from these rodents. 

• Humid-free environment 

Your home should not have wet parts especially in hidden areas because wetness will provide an inviting place for many pests such as termites. They like places that are dark and humid. In those areas, they will start feeding on the woodworks of your home which can ruin the foundation of your home.  

If you keep your home humid-free you are preventing pests from infesting in your home. Your home will not attract pests in your home.  

• Do not provide any point of access 

If there are holes in your home, anywhere at the top or at the bottom, that will serve as an access point for all and any kind of pests that are very much interested in infesting your home and disturbing your living in the way that they can.  

You should be mindful of small holes in your home because that can cause small pests from getting inside your home which is not good for you and for everybody that is living inside the home.  

Above are the preventive measures that you should follow in order for you to avoid any pest infestation in your home. It is always better to do preventive measures than to find a cure to something that has already penetrated your home.
