What do you usually notice when you buy a new house and lot for sale, for instance, in Batangas and Laguna? They are all clean and there is nothing crawling through the walls and cabinets. Yes, you can’t see any little home invaders such as cockroaches, mosquitoes and rodents.
But then, after several months or years of living in the house and lot for sale you bought in Batangas or Laguna, such little home invaders start to just welcome themselves in. So what should you know, as a homemaker, about these little invaders?
Cockroaches
They might be the most common and most well-known home invader… and no one knows where they come from and when they start to settle in! It’s like they just pop out of nowhere. Cockroaches are of thousand species and could bring havoc to your home if not controlled. They find home in between your walls as they like. They are also fond of dark places and are oddly attracted to the smell of papers. So that stack of college photocopies you’ve been keeping might be what’s drawing the cockroaches in all along.
Aside from tearing out your book pages, cockroaches could bring food-borne diseases. They are scavengers themselves and collect dirt and bacteria as they eat so don’t let them have direct and indirect contact with your food. Their debris also causes skin allergies.
As they like to live in dark and untidy corners, unwelcome them by keeping your home clean, including seen and unseen corners. Also, keep your books and papers on a clean and well-lit corner of your home.
Rodents
Oh yes, the infamous rodents that brought leptospirosis to mankind. Like cockroaches, rodents find shelter in the innermost and darkest corners of your home and they also come to your home for food.
To keep them away from your newly bought house and lot for sale in Batangas or Laguna, find and seal possible spaces that will let them breed. Rodents rapidly reproduce which means seeing one possibly means there are already a lot of them between your walls. Rodents carry a great number of bacteria on their body, not to mention they could possibly have rabies, too. Keep food sources in container that rodents will not be able to penetrate metal or glass containers.
Mosquitoes
These tiny home invaders are somewhat incredible for bringing dengue, malaria and now, the Zika virus. Mosquitoes have a long proboscis or nose that they used to draw blood from people. They reproduce quickly in stagnant water. Invaders might be a euphemism to call these little carriers of bloody death.
To keep these tiny flying terrorists away from your home, clear all the possible breeding grounds. Clean your kitchen and under sink cabinets regularly. Make sure there is no stagnant water standing in your home. You can also put screen doors to trap them from entering. Also, use electric fans to blow mosquitoes away. Well, though they have a pair of wings, mosquitoes are not good flyers and remain only in a one mile radius of their breeding site. They can be easily swept off by the fan’s breeze. You can also bug off these mosquitoes with citronella scent.
