Begin your pest control from ground zero. Try to get rid of their sustenance source. One reason you may have a problem is because your house provides food, water or shelter for a pest. Make sure you search for food scraps lying around, any water leaks in your plumbing, and openings in your home.
You need to always have an inspector take a look at a house before you decide to buy it. There are some signs of pests that are easy to see. Others do not become apparent until you spend some uninterrupted time at home.
