Does your Washington, DC home need a makeover?
If your Maryland or Northern Virginia home is experiencing or has recently experienced renovations, keep in mind that these changes may affect your efforts to keep pests out. Insects and rodents can easily adapt to changes made in your house’s plumbing system, walling, and flooring. They can also take advantage of your home remodeling to develop new hideouts. Drew Hollingsworth, Account Specialist for American Pest, saw this firsthand during a recent house visit for a client:
“This customer called us after several companies had been unable to resolve her lingering rodent infestation. After a few inspections, the technician cut two holes into the wall in the area where the most activity was heard. The source of the infestation turned out to be an abandoned pipe that was left open during the renovation. The customer had recently installed new PVC pipes throughout their home, and none tied into the original cast iron stack. After we discovered this, the pipe was sealed, and a few more traps were set in the void in case additional rodents were present.”
During home renovations, American Pest recommends the following tips to ensure pests can be kept at bay during the transition:
American Pest hopes these tips are able to help you prevent pests from taking over your DC home during your remodel. We are also more than happy to conduct inspections to help identify pest entry points and implement integrated pest management procedures when necessary.
