Even if you clean on a daily basis, a lot more needs to be considered when figuring out the frequency of your pest control schedule. Here\u2019s a look at some of the best practices for residential pest control and how often MCT Pest Control recommends you should be taking these precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Importance of Regular Pest Control<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering why routine pest control services are necessary to begin with, especially if you normally don\u2019t have frequent encounters with vermin. These unwanted houseguests can cause catastrophic damage to your home \u2013 even if you can\u2019t see them doing it. From rodents to roaches living in the walls of your home to pesky insects penetrating through your roof, the earlier you catch these pests in the act, the less costly damage you will have to reverse in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from detecting problem areas as soon as possible, the experts at MCT Pest Control can also test for and treat any germs and bacteria associated with an infestation. It\u2019s not rare to hear stories of families \u2013 and even their pets \u2013 becoming ill from a disease carried into their home by a pest. By maintaining a routine pest control schedule, you can keep your home as safe and healthy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Every Three Months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s generally recommended that homeowners have their home and lawn treated for pests on a Quarterly basis. This is because the effects from routine pest prevention treatments last for roughly three months, so it\u2019s necessary to keep up with a consistent pest control schedule to avoid any potential infestations and damage to your home. At MCT Pest Control, we\u2019ll evaluate your needs and recommend the right Residential Pest Control for the following Insects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ants and carpenter ants<\/li><li>Bed bugs<\/li><li>Fleas and ticks<\/li><li>Houseflies<\/li><li>Rodents<\/li><li>Termites<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Precautions to Take<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that pests and vermin want to enter your home to find water, food, or shelter. Therefore, aside from sticking to a Quarterly pest control schedule, you should also take measures into your own hands on a daily basis to prevent your home from becoming a breeding ground. Some of the precautions you should take include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keeping your home clean, as well as dishes and food preparation areas<\/li><li>Storing food in airtight containers with lids<\/li><li>Taking trash and recycling out as often as possible<\/li><li>Addressing leaking pipes<\/li><li>Cleaning with bleach-based products<\/li><li>Using essential oils to repel vermin, such as lavender, mint, or tea tree<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By combining the residential pest services of MCT Pest Control and practicing these precautions every day, you\u2019ll be able to effectively prevent bugs, rodents, and other vermin from feeling comfortable inside your home.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you can see them or not, trust us when we say that pests are always trying to enter your home.
