Renovations often focus on visible improvements, but forgetting about pest control can create hidden problems that undermine your investment. Gaps, cracks, and untreated areas left behind during construction make perfect entry points for insects and rodents.
For example, poorly sealed foundations can invite termites, while gaps around windows and doors let in ants and cockroaches. Even roof renovations can leave openings that attract birds or squirrels. Once pests move in, they cause damage and are expensive to remove.
The best time to address pest control is during renovation. This means sealing cracks, using pest-resistant materials, and ensuring proper ventilation to avoid moisture that attracts insects. In areas prone to termites, adding a protective barrier around the foundation can save thousands in future repairs.
A home that looks beautiful but struggles with infestations quickly loses comfort and value.
In short, integrating pest prevention during renovation ensures your home remains safe, clean, and durable for the long term.
