The answer to 'how to prevent extermination' is to implement effective prevention and control methods to manage pests in your home. This involves taking proactive steps to make your home less attractive to pests, using integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, and addressing any existing infestations promptly.
Start by sealing up any cracks, crevices, and entry points around your home to deny pests access. Keep your home clean and clutter-free, and store food in airtight containers. Use natural repellents like essential oils, diatomaceous earth, or vinegar to deter pests. If you do spot signs of an infestation, act quickly by using targeted, low-toxicity treatments or calling in a professional pest control technician.
