As a homeowner, it’s inevitable to encounter pests at some point. However, many pest issues can be prevented by identifying early warning signs. Orkin pest control experts, with over 125 years of experience, have shared their insights on how to stop pest infestations before they start.
Early Warning Signs
According to Orkin professionals, the biggest problems often begin long before the first obvious sign appears. They look for small entry points around windows, doors, and foundations, moisture buildup in basements, crawl spaces, or near plumbing, subtle structural changes, and unusual debris or droppings in less frequently used areas.
By the time pests are visible, they’ve often already established themselves. Orkin experts are trained to identify early indicators that can signal a developing problem. They develop custom pest protection plans based on the layout of the home, type of pest activity, seasonal patterns, and local environmental factors.
