Keeping your home pest-free isn’t just about reacting to infestations, it’s about taking proactive steps to prevent pests from entering in the first place. In Perth’s warm, Mediterranean climate, pests like ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, and termites thrive, especially in homes that provide food, water, and shelter.
At Tritan Pest Management, we help homeowners across Perth protect their properties with practical pest prevention strategies and professional support. Here’s how you can maintain a healthy, pest-free home all year round.
🧼 1. Keep It Clean and Clutter-Free
Pests are attracted to food crumbs, spills, and clutter that provides hiding spots. A regular cleaning routine is your first line of defence:
Wipe down benchtops and sweep floors daily
Store food in sealed containers (including pet food)
Take out rubbish frequently and keep bins closed
Clean under appliances and furniture where crumbs accumulate
Declutter storage areas like sheds, wardrobes, and garages
A tidy home makes it harder for pests to settle in, and easier to spot signs of activity early.
🚪 2. Seal Entry Points
Rodents, ants, cockroaches, and spiders all find their way inside through tiny gaps and cracks. Inspect your home and seal:
Gaps around doors and windows
Cracks in walls, skirting boards, and flooring
Holes around plumbing and cables
Broken flyscreens and weather stripping
A few tubes of silicone sealant and some basic maintenance can go a long way in keeping pests out.
💧 3. Eliminate Moisture Sources
Pests, particularly termites, cockroaches, and mosquitoes, love damp environments. Prevent moisture build up by:
Fixing leaky taps and pipes
Ensuring good ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens
Using dehumidifiers in humid zones
Clearing gutters and downpipes to prevent pooling water
Moisture control is critical in Perth’s summer months when pest activity spikes.
🌿 4. Maintain the Garden
Overgrown trees and bushes provide shelter and entry bridges for pests. Keep your garden tidy by:
Trimming plants away from the house and roof
Keeping firewood and mulch stored well away from walls
Mowing the lawn regularly
Cleaning up fallen fruit and compost properly
This also reduces the risk of termites, spiders, ants, and rodents nesting near your home.
🛡️ 5. Schedule Regular Professional Pest Inspections
DIY methods help, but they don’t catch everything—especially hidden threats like termites or rats in your roof void. A professional pest inspection can:
Detect pest activity early
Identify high-risk areas you may overlook
Provide targeted treatments and prevention strategies
Ensure your home meets lease or insurance requirements
At Tritan Pest Management, we offer annual and seasonal pest control packages to keep your home protected year-round.
