Prevention Tips
Nagy Pest Control wants to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle by reducing pests related issues around your home or business. We aim to educate, recommend solutions and offer our services that will greatly reduce unwanted pests leading to prevention of future issues.
Gutters not being cleaned out will provide breeding sites for mosquitoes, flies and other insects. Standing water in a gutter will also attract wildlife animals looking to drink plus inviting them to chew their way into your attic or eves creating a much larger problem. Water overflowing onto eves will cause wood rot leading to the attraction of insects or a wood pecker to eat the insects.
Keep gutters cleaned out, install gutter guards and keeping water away from your home or business will help prevent many pests issues. Altering the terrain to keep water from laying around including buckets, wheel barrels, children toys or puddling up will help reduce pests like mosquitoes from breeding.
Entry points can allow pests to gain entry into your home or business which should be sealed and inspected often to maintain that these areas remain sealed. We often find doors including garage door seals damaged, holes in foundations or vents, missing or damaged laundry vent covers, no chimney caps, utility lines entering a structure not sealed allowing pests to gain entry inside.
Removing Excessive Clutter is a must in preventing pest issues.
When you have boxes, bags of trash, items thrown around a structure or in the yard, firewood or scrap lumber, old vehicles or machinery laying around will attract insects, mice, rats, snakes and wildlife animals causing you a many issues.
Keep your grass cut, remove excessive leaves and weeds, cut back tree limbs and shrubs from having contact with a structure will discourage wildlife animals from wanting to hang around your property reducing future issues.
Interior Excessive Clutter can cause major pest issues and health risk.
Keeping the interior of your home or business clean and free from excessive clutter will greatly reduce pests issues including spiders, ants, centipedes, fleas, dust mites, gnats, flies, mice, rats leading to feces.
We recommend keeping all areas clean from splattered food and crumbs, clean up spills, vacuuming or mopping floors as often as possible, dusting surfaces, storing items in sealed plastic containers including food items in your pantry or work areas (desk) to reduce pest issues.
Wildlife Animals can be a major problem if they live or travel through your property.
Wildlife animals can transmit many types of diseases, bacteria, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes,
bite or attack your family including pets, damage your property including lawns, under porches or decks, trees and home.
We love animals and do not want to cause harm to them which is why we recommend deterring wildlife animals from your property to avoid any ongoing issues they create. Cutting back tree limbs away from your home, reduce vegetation around your home, fence in gardens and compost piles, control insects and mice which can be a food source for some wildlife animals, avoid feeding wildlife with bird seed, pet food or throwing out food waste around the exterior of your property will greatly reduce wildlife animal issues.
Even if you do all of these things mentioned above, you still may need a professional to deter, trap, remove or seal areas to prevent and control a wildlife issue.
We Do Not Offer Wildlife Animal Trapping or Removal Services due to our disagreement with the State of Virginia euthanizing laws when animals are trapped and can not be relocated to another area.
The Dangers Of Using Rodent Poisons or known as rodenticides, mouse or rat bait including snail bait, mole and vole baits that may be in the form of gummy worms. Rodenticides are extremely dangerous causing accidental poisoning to children, pets and wildlife animals each day.
These products can come in an array of colors, shapes and sizes designed to kill rodents, snails or target critters by shutting down vital body organs usually made from ingredients like blood thinners or high doses of Vitamin D3 and other dangerous modes of action.
Rodents are made up of mice, rats, moles, voles, chip monks and squirrels. These critters can cause extensive damage to your property and need to be handled in a safe, effective manner which is why we use repellents, exclusion tactics, live traps and sealing your home or business to keep these critters out.
Nagy Pest Control "Does Not Use" and encourages you NOT to use rodent bait or snail baits which are dangerous ways to control rodents and other pests. We do use repellents, exclusion tactics, seal entry points and live traps to controlling rodents.
We are currently trying a new product call Rat-X & Mouse-X designed to dehydrate rodents, not poison them. Safe to use around pets, children and wildlife animals.
