Benefits of Pest Control Insulation

September marks the transition between summer and fall. With the upcoming cooler weather, pests, such as spiders and rodents, will be seeking warmth, which may be your home. Cooler weather also means that people will be switching their thermostat from cool to heat soon. In addition to pest control services, A B Pest Control is also a full-service insulation company at the Lake of the Ozarks.  

Keep Your House Cool or Warm

Our pesticide infused insulation works just the same as regular insulation. Proper insulation in your home ensures that the cool stays in when it's hot outside and that the heat stays in when it's cold outside. However, not only will you feel more comfortable in your home, you can also save money on your energy bill, as your HVAC system will not have to work as hard cooling or heating your home. Air that escapes through your home wastes a lot of energy. According to the Energy Star website, "most homes in the United States don't have enough insulation and have significant air leaks." It also states that if you add up all the leaks and gaps in a typical home, it would be like having a window open every day of the year.  

Keep Bugs Out!

The best part about our pesticide infused insulation is the fact that it keeps pests out. Regular insulation can keep pests at bay, but what makes our pesticide infused insulation special is that not only does it regulate the temperature in your home, it also kills common pests. No more having to worry about spiders finding their way inside your home. Our Pesticide Infused Insulation can keep out common insects, such as ants, spiders, centipedes, crickets, silverfish and termites. 

The Best Time To Check Your Insulation Is Now!

Now is the best time to check your home's insulation levels. Over time, insulation settles and needs to be refilled. When insulation settles, it will not work as effectively to cool your home. With the summer coming to an end, make sure your home is prepared for the upcoming cooler season. Now is the time to check to make sure your home is properly insulated, so you do not have to worry about it when the temperatures drop.

5 Ways To Tell If You Have Mice

The weather is cooling down, which mean fewer pests. However, rodents and other creatures may find their way into your home. Mice like to seek shelter in warm places during the fall and winter months, which may mean inside your home. Although they like to be sneaky, they do leave clues that let you know they have been in your home. A Lake of the Ozarks pest control company can help you make sure mice don't get comfy in your home, but you need to know they are there first in order to make the call. A B Pest Control & Insulation offers five tips to help you know if you have mice in your home.

1. Damage to Food

Mice love to eat, which is one reason they are in your home. If you look in your pantry and find that a box of cereal has a hole in it, it may be the work of a mouse. Homeowners will often find holes in items like dog food, bird seed and, of course, pantry items. Often times the damaged item will show teeth marks, so it will be clear it is mice doing the chewing, however, this isn't always the case. 

2. Squeaking in the Wall

One of the first signs you have a rodent problem is noise in the walls. Sometimes you can hear a scratching noise and other times you can hear squeaking. The sound could come from the walls or ceilings. Pay close attention to where you are hearing the noise, as this can help identify how they are getting in and where they are nesting. 

3. Chew Marks

In addition to food items being damage, rodents can also damage your baseboards, furniture and doors. Because their teeth grow fast, they need to chew in order to file them down. This could be anything from baseboard to wiring. If the chewing goes unnoticed, it could cause damage to your home, which could require some costly repairs. 

4. Entrance Points

Mice can squeeze themselves into very tiny crevasses, as they can squeeze down to the size of a quarter. Seal up any cracks, holes or other openings to prevent them from coming into your home. Not only does this prevent them from coming in by having an easy access, it also helps insulate your home and keep it at a comfortable temperature.   

5. Look for Droppings

Finding small grain-sized droppings in corners, along the edges of your home or where you have spot activity (like in the pantry) is a sign of an active infestation. These droppings can transmit diseases. Food that's eaten from a contaminated area can cause serious illnesses. call a professional Lake of the Ozarks pest control company to prevent the situation from getting worse.
