Prevention-first steps you can try before calling. When risk is elevated, routing to screened pros beats guesswork.
Starter checklist
- Trim vegetation touching the façade and rake mulch back six inches.
- Eliminate interior moisture cues — fix drips before baiting ants.
- Seal obvious exterior gaps · weatherstrip garage repeats.
- Photograph trails or frass for faster ID with routing.
Consumer products complement, not substitute, structural pest remediation or recurring infestations. Call if conditions worsen.
When to call a professional
- Suspected termites or structural wood damage
- Repeating sightings after OTC treatments
- Bed bugs, rodents, health-sensitive accounts (allergens, daycare, elders)
- Unknown pest ID but visible damage trajectory
