The food authorities are responsible to ensure that goods like dog food, flour and other grains are not exposed to strayed insects. The best way to prevent these insects from infecting your food is to completely seal them in air tight containers. This will limit the expose of food items being contaminated by mice.

Inspection of your home is vital in pest control as has been already stressed. Pests don't need holes to penetrate your home. insects are very small and can enter your home from very small holes. Mice however require a quarter of an inch-sized hole to enter your house and can be seen as great escape artists.

The house that you live in has already a large amount of holes that need to be checked, like your cable line, telephone lines, garage and especially the attic. Holes in these are never checked. If you want to gain sufficient control over your notorious pests this is now the best time to see them.

Don't leave house lights on because they attract insects right into your home. If insects come in your house then spider will definitely follow. A considerable amount of spiders will end up penetrating your home even if you have a considerable amount of screens. If you use yellow bulbs or any non-insect attracting lights and always close your doors you will not have a problem.
