Your Guide to Pest Prevention

Moore Quality wants to help you with guidance to maintain a pest-free environment. This is what you can do to prevent infestations or assist in maintenance.

Indoors

  • Clean counters frequently to remove food crumbs and put food away.
  • Store food in sealed plastic or glass containers.
  • Trash cans should be covered and the trash should be taken out regularly.
  • Fix plumbing leaks and remove any water accumulation.
  • Keep your home clutter-free to remove places where pests can breed and hide.
  • Vacuum frequently.
  • Store shoes inside or place them in sealed containers outside, as black widows and other pests can hide in shoes.
  • Store pet food in tightly sealed containers.
  • Put away pet food and water at night.
  • Seal areas where pests can hide, including caulking cracks and crevices around cabinets or baseboards.
  • Fill spaces around pipes with steel wool to rodent proof.
  • Cover holes around the home such as vents with wire mesh to rodent proof.
  • Before bringing any furniture or packages into your home, check for pests that may have hitched a ride along the way.

Outdoors

  • Trim trees away from the home or structure to remove rat and rodent pathway.
  • Do not leave debris piles on the property, as they are havens for rodents, black widows, and other pests.
  • Remove mulch or bark away from foundation.
  • Remove fruit from ground that falls from fruit trees, or remove the fruit tree altogether as it attracts pests.
  • To prevent flies and other attracted pests, regularly clean up dog and cat waste, and clean hard surfaces with soap and water.
  • Fix water leaks and broken pipes (e.g. sprinklers, drain pipes, etc.).
  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris to prevent water from building.
  • Remove standing water as it attracts mosquitoes that can spread dangerous illness, as well as wasps.
  • Install yellow or sodium vapor light bulbs, as they attract fewer flying insects.
  • Seal cracks in property to remove entry points for ants, spiders, roaches, rodents, and other pests.
  • Properly seal and weather strip windows, doors, and screens.
  • Keep firewood stacks as far away from the home or structure as possible, and if it is possible keep it away from the ground.
  • Keep trash in closed containers.
  • Put away pet food and water at night.
  • Do not store pet food outside.

Other Important Tips

  • Be cautious when handling items that may harbor black widows or other harmful pests.
  • Please contact Moore Quality for treatment and dewebbing.
  • Do not use over-the-counter sprays for ants as it scatters them to other spots on the property.
  • Clean the areas with home cleaning solutions and contact Moore Quality for more tips and to schedule services.
  • Do not spray over-the-counter or other pesticides for any other pests between your scheduled services as this could counter Moore Quality treatments and disable the service guarantee.
  • Do not place rodent traps without consulting with Moore Quality first, as rodents are quick learners and unsuccessful trapping can teach them to avoid traps.
  • Moore Quality technicians are trained in rodent behavior and utilize specialized knowledge to strategically position and place traps.
  • If you need help proofing your property or to have Moore Quality inspect and provide proofing services, please do not hesitate to contact us.
