During pest control, when chemical sprays are being used, the residues remain on the surface of the wall, furniture, flooring or roof.

No doubt your pest control company will surely pass on a list of to-do and not-to-do things to you before and after the pest control. You are required to follow all the instructions mentioned therein.
- Bring Some Fresh Air
The first thing you’ve got to do upon entry to your house after the pest control is to open all the channels of ventilation. Let some fresh air take away the odor of strong chemicals from within your house. In case you skip doing this, you’ll not be able to sit inside your own house due to the strong odor of chemicals. Fresh air or open ventilation allows you to breathe properly without putting any pressure on your lungs.
- Monitor Pest Infestation
If you think pest control is for a lifetime, then you need to reconsider your thinking. Pest control is not a lifetime thing. Few months down the line, pests will automatically find their way inside your property due to various reasons. Pest infestation is due to a lazy lifestyle, unhygienic place, favorable environmental conditions and other known and unknown reasons. Hence, regular monitoring of any sign of pest infestation becomes mandatory.
- Do Not Clean Immediately
Yes, people get more tempted to clean the house after pest control. However, this proves unfavorable to the effects of pest control within few days. Avoid immediate home cleaning after the pest control for you may ruin its positive effects. Cleaning may clear off all the chemicals required to exterminate few stubborn pests. Lastly, ‘cleanliness is next to godliness’ and it is because of this cleanliness, pests run away from your place.
- Keep Your Property Dry
A dry place is always unfavorable to the growth or infestation of pests at home. Normally, bathrooms, washrooms, basins, garden area and terrace area are always wet. Wet places give birth to new pests and keep multiplying the numbers of already existing pests. It is, therefore, mandatory for each to use ground hand viper to keep the place dry. Do not forget to use this viper after every shower in your bathroom or in or near the toilet area too.
- Avoid Clutter
Clutter is a home to many pests and small insects. If you have massive clutter, then keep counting the number of pests at your place. If you really want to reduce the number of pests at your residence, the best part is to discard all the clutter in and around your residence. This will create some space in your house and pests do not roam or survive in free spaces. They like to secretly live and hide.
