Ensuring your home remains pest-free is a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy living environment. At Trojan Roofing, we’re not just experts in roofing; we also provide insights into common pest hideouts and prevention strategies. Here’s a guide to the most typical spots where pests may be lurking in your Indianapolis home.

Exposed Insulation

Areas of exposed insulation in your attic or walls are prime real estate for pests. These spots can harbor insects, rodents, and even birds. To combat these invaders, treat your insulation with boric acid, an effective and safe solution for eliminating common pests while being harmless to humans.

Gutters

Uncleaned gutters can become hotspots for pest infestations, which not only pose a health risk but also threaten the structural integrity of your roof. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your gutters are essential to prevent pests and ensure your roofing system remains intact.

Furniture and Fabrics

Pests often find refuge in the least expected places, such as under carpets and inside upholstered furniture. Carpet beetles, for instance, feed on materials like wool, silk, and leather. Regular cleaning and inspection of these areas are vital to prevent pest infestations and protect your belongings.

Professional Pest Inspection

At Trojan Roofing, we recommend routine professional inspections to identify and address pest issues before they escalate. Our team is equipped to provide thorough inspections and effective solutions tailored to your specific needs.

CONCLUSION

Keeping your home free from pests requires vigilance and regular maintenance, especially in common infestation areas like insulation, gutters, and fabrics. For comprehensive protection, consider a professional pest inspection.
