When it starts to get cooler outside, animals will begin to come inside. From bugs and rodents to any other unwanted guests, Select Pest Control helps homeowners in the Cincinnati area keep pests from invading their homes. For more than 30 years, their team of licensed exterminators has been making sure pests don’t make themselves at home in your home.

If you believe you may be sharing your home with an unwanted guest, here are some tips from the animal control experts at Select Pest Control:

• Don’t Ignore Noises: If you think you hear noises in the walls or attic, there’s a chance squirrels, raccoons, or even yellow jackets could be making those sounds. If you don’t take action right away, the animals could do costly damage to your house. A licensed and insured professional animal control expert from Select Pest Control will inspect your home and recommend a solution.

• Set Live Traps: If an animal such as a rat or a squirrel has invaded your home, a live trap can be an effective way to get rid of the unwanted guest. Place the trap along the wall where you think the pest is entering the building. Once you’ve caught the suspect, be sure to cover or close any holes where the animals could be entering and exiting your home. To make sure the process is humane from start to finish, plan out what you’re going to do once you’ve caught the wayward animal.

• Call Animal Control: If you suspect your home has been invaded, the best thing you can do is call an animal control company immediately. The experienced exterminators at Select Pest Control will inspect the inside and outside of your home and customize a treatment plan specific to your needs. In addition to removing unwanted guests, Select Pest Control will add a protective barrier around your home to prevent the pests from getting in again in the future.

Unless you know exactly what type of pest you’re dealing with and the most humane and safe way to handle them, it’s best to leave it to Select Pest Control. Raccoons and other rodents carry diseases and can be dangerous. Additionally, over-the-counter pesticides often don’t kill many pests, and termites or carpenter ants can cause severe damage to your home.
