To start, it is important to keep pests from getting in. Most are looking for shelter and something to eat. Some of the time, all they are looking for is a dry and warm place they could make a home.

Items should be kept in secure packaging and storage containers, in either a refrigerator or kitchen cupboard. Never leave leftovers in an accessible place, and empty your waste and rubbish on a daily basis. It is important that you do not leave any food sources available for them to want to come in. You will notice a great reduction in pests as a result.
