The answer to 'DIY pest prevention control' is to take proactive steps to prevent pests from entering your home in the first place. This involves sealing up entry points, removing food and water sources, and using safe, targeted treatments when needed.
Start by inspecting the exterior of your home and sealing any cracks, holes, or gaps where pests could get in. Use caulk, weatherstripping, or other sealants to close these access points. Inside, keep counters and floors clean, store food in airtight containers, and fix any leaks or standing water. You can also use natural repellents like essential oils or diatomaceous earth in problem areas.
