Call an exterminator if the infestation persists.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve tried everything—from throwing out the infested items and cleaning your home to using various pesticides and other products. Unfortunately, it’s still possible that you have a severe infestation that needs immediate attention. This can happen for many reasons: some pests are better at hiding; some pests reproduce more quickly than others; and some pests don’t die when exposed to typically-effective pesticides.
If it has come down to seeing an exterminator or continuing with the problem, call one now—letting a problem persist will only make things worse in the long run because it will be harder to get rid of the remaining pests once they’re used to your home. An exterminator will know what kind of pest is infesting your property, which is crucial in determining how effective the treatment will be. In addition, if you do have a severe infestation on your hands, an exterminator should be able to provide advice on dealing with future pest issues until they are completely resolved.

In addition to being gross, having mice in your home means they can chew holes through your walls or electrical wires and cause costly damage. There are several ways to get rid of them without resorting to chemicals—which not only pose a health risk but also don’t do anything about their droppings or build-up elsewhere in the home:
- Set humane traps indoors around food sources such as kitchen cabinets or pantries lined with sticky substances (cheese or peanut butter). Make sure not to leave any accessible entry points behind—if this doesn’t work after a few days, move on to other solutions.

Ants, cockroaches, crickets—pests are more than just a nuisance; they can sometimes serve as an early warning sign that something is in your home that shouldn’t be. That’s why it’s important to rid yourself of them before they get out of hand.

With only a small amount sprinkled around your baseboards and any area of your home where these critters like to hide, you can ward off ants, roaches, and other unwanted creatures with ease.

Seal up any openings around your home to prevent pests from entering.
Check for air leaks around windows and doors
Protect your home from pests by sealing up any cracks or holes that may provide easy access for these unwanted visitors. Use caulk to seal cracks along the bottom of windows and outside of door frames. You can also use weather stripping around doors and seal any gaps you find between your door frame and the floor. Make sure to look out for air leaks around windows, as well. Windows should always have a screen to keep pests like snakes out of your home, but even with a screen in place, you should still check window openings regularly as they tend to wear away over time.
