Pests can be more than just a nuisance—they pose serious risks to health, property, and businesses. In Edinburgh, the changing seasons and urban environment create the perfect conditions for rodents, insects, and other pests to thrive. At Pro Pest Prevention, we specialise in keeping homes and businesses pest-free all year round. Here are our top pest prevention tips to protect your property!
🏠
1. Keep Your Property Clean & Clutter-Free
Pests love hiding in dark, cluttered spaces. By keeping your home or business clean and removing unnecessary clutter, you reduce their hiding spots.
✅ **Sweep and mop regularly** to remove food particles.
✅ **Store items properly**—avoid leaving boxes or debris in corners.
✅ **Check behind furniture and appliances** for signs of pests.
🍽️
2. Seal Up Food Properly
Rodents and insects are **always on the hunt** for food. To prevent infestations:
✅ **Store food in sealed containers** (especially grains, snacks, and pet food).
✅ **Clean kitchen surfaces daily** to remove crumbs and spills.
✅ **Dispose of rubbish correctly**—pests thrive on exposed waste.
🛠️
3. Block Entry Points
Tiny cracks and holes in walls or floors can be an open invitation for pests. To keep them out:
✅ **Seal gaps around doors and windows** using caulk or weather stripping.
✅ **Check for small holes in walls, pipes, and vents**.
✅ **Install mesh screens** on vents and drainage openings.
🚰
4. Manage Moisture & Water Sources
Damp environments attract cockroaches, rodents, and other pests.
✅ **Fix leaking pipes & taps** to prevent excess moisture.
✅ **Ensure good ventilation** in basements and attics.
✅ **Regularly clean gutters** to prevent water build up.
🧹
5. Keep Your Outdoor Space Pest-Free
If you have a garden, yard, or outdoor seating area, take extra precautions:
✅ **Trim overgrown bushes and grass**—pests use them as hiding spots.
✅ **Secure outdoor bins** to keep rodents out.
✅ **Remove stagnant water**—it attracts mosquitoes and insects.
