Pet owners need to stay mindful of the uninvited pests that can make their way into the home. When your home begins to get overrun by pests, it’s time to call an affordable pest control service. When hiring a pest control company, it’s important to ask questions if you own a pet to understand the best way to keep pests out while keeping your furry friend safe.
1. What Pet Safe Products Do You Use?
Before hiring a local pest control service, it’s imperative that you inform them of your pets. Pest removal cannot be done if the company brings a product that can harm the animals in your home. When setting up the appointment, be sure to ask what products they have that are safe for pets to be around. It may be necessary to keep the pet sectioned off in a different area of the house for some time while the pest exterminator does their work.
2. Where Should I Keep My Pet’s Food?
Ask your local pest control service about the best way to store your pet’s food. Many homeowners leave their pet’s food in an accessible place in order to keep their pets on a constant feeding schedule. When food is too easily accessible, it can attract rats and ants. According to the National Pest Management Association, 56% of homeowners have actually reported having problems with ants in this past year. Asking a pest controller the best way to store your pet’s food can help prevent infestation and protect your pet’s health.
3. What Can I Do to Prevent Ticks?
If you have a dog or a cat that goes outside, we highly recommend using a flea and tick preventative on your pet. This will help keep your pet and home safe from these types of pests. Please speak to your veterinarian about finding the best flea and tick preventative for you and your pet. Additionally, to ensure the highest level of protection for your pet and family, we also recommend using our organic tick spray in the spring, summer, and fall months.
