It's pretty hard to get rid of house pests, especially when it's too late - so it's better to detect them as soon as possible.
When you don't see insects around, it doesn't mean that your house is clean - sometimes, you just should look better.
Luckily, there are some other signs you can notice.
Look around your home regularly, especially in places where pests like to hide, such as the kitchen, pantry, and bathroom.
Pest droppings look like tiny dark pellets. If you see these, it's a sign that pests might be around.
Some pests can create unusual odors. If you notice a musty or foul smell in your home, investigate further.
Check for signs of nibbling or gnawing on food packaging or furniture. Pests like mice and insects often leave bite marks.
Look for holes or cracks in walls, floors, or ceilings. Pests can use these as entry points.
Some pests build nests. If you find small nests made of materials like paper or fabric, it's a clear sign of a pest problem.
Listen for sounds like scratching or scurrying, especially in walls or ceilings, which could indicate pests.
Pay attention to your pets. If they seem to be focused on a particular area or act unusually, it might be due to pests.
Pests always leave signs - so be careful to notice them!
