- Fix Leaks: Ants and roaches are attracted to moisture. Fix any leaks and wipe up standing water to make your home less appealing to them.
- Seal Entry Points: Check for cracks, crevices, or holes that pests could use to enter your home. Seal these with caulk or another appropriate material.
- Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect your home for signs of pests. Early detection can make treatment easier and more effective.
