The hunt for a new home is something that most people are excited to do. The prospect that you get to move to a new home and you are choosing from some great options is joyful. It can also be a little stressful when you are not sure about what you want. You want to be sure that you have a list of things you know you need in a new house. The amount of rooms that you have is important so that everyone has their own space. The other aspect of choosing a home is the style of the home such as the tile, counters, layout and more. These will make the hunt for your new home a little bit easier. You want to be sure that when you are looking for a house you look for more than just your favorite things. You also want to be sure that you don’t move into a home that has a problem with pests. This can lead to a problem that you will then be left to deal with. It also can be a pest infestation that is bad for your health as well as damaging your property.
A-Tex Pest Management Lists Ways to Check For Pests When Looking for a New House
Pests Scurrying Around: When you are looking for a house you have things that you are sure to be looking for. One of those things that you need to look for are pests that might be running around the house. The house that you are usually looking for is left open and there isn’t traffic in the house. That means that the house is nice and quiet and the pests that normally would hide are happy to come out in the day. When you come to the house to look around you can check for these pests. They might be running along the edge of the walls. You can spot them when you walk into a room because they will try and rush off to hide somewhere. These areas could be harder for them to hide since there is often not furniture in the house. If you notice there are live pests in the house you want to get a thorough inspection to check for an infestation.
Dead Pests: The other problem that you might come across when you get into a new house is the presence of dead pests. The realtor or the seller may realize that there is a pest infestation and decide to have a quick treatment done. The treatment will be a great start but in no way the best way to get rid of the infestation. The treatment will leave pests dead around the house and on the window seals. You want to check the house to see if there is a problem with pests in the house. The dead pests are a sign that the infestation needs to continue to be treated.
