    It doesn’t matter whether you live in a small apartment or a large mansion, one of the most important things you can do to ensure you don’t have a pest issue is to contact your local pest control company and schedule an annual inspection. This will ensure any issue is identified and treated while minimizing any damage to your property or risk to your health.

    Don’t forget, most pests carry diseases that you don’t want.

    How to keep pests out when living in an apartment

    It can seem more complicated to keep pests out of an apartment as you can’t always stop them from entering the building. However, with the right approach, it is easier than you think.

    Inspect your apartment

    It’s easy to take your apartment for granted. You work hard, come home and relax without thinking about whether anything is sharing your place. Because most pests hide when humans are around it is easy for an infestation to build without you realizing it.

    That’s why you should regularly inspect the walls of your apartment. Look for any gaps and cracks that could allow a pest through and seal them up instantly. Alongside this, you can, and should, have an annual pest inspection. It is the best way to ensure there are no unseen issues.

    If you need help locating a local expert simply check out here.

    You should check your front door, if there is a gap below it then add brushes to keep pests outside your home.

    Verify used furniture

    It is common to purchase used furniture as it is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. But, you need to be careful when adopting this process. Used furniture can contain pests such as bed bugs or even termites. Make sure you inspect the furniture before bringing it inside.

    Check twice after a vacation

    A vacation is usually needed and certainly deserved. However, when you are returning all relaxed you still need to be thinking about pests. It is possible for them to hitch-hike in your luggage. Check everything carefully when unpacking. It’s a good idea to wash all your clothing and vacuum your suitcase before putting it away.

    Inspect packages

    Any delivery to your home could include insects. This is especially true if the delivery is food items. Make sure you check the package before bringing it into your apartment, it could save you a lot of hassle.

    Keep it clean

    If pests are in your building they will head to the apartment that is most appealing. That’s not the one with the best décor. Instead, it is the one that offers food and water. Make sure you put food away in sealed containers as soon as you have finished using it. You should also vacuum your apartment regularly, wipe down countertops, and make sure pet bowls are picked up.

    Final words

    This will make your apartment less desirable than your neighbor’s. Provided you have sealed your walls and doors properly, pests in a neighbor’s apartment won’t be an issue for you.
