You want to make sure you know what is attracting them and what you can do about it. A Five Star Termite & Pest Control outlines how your dog is attracting pests in and around your house.
Bugs are Attracted to Dog Food
One of the things that you want to make sure you understand about how your dog is attracting pests is their food. If you have a new puppy you lay out their bowls and add food so that they can get used to where it is. The food is something that can be a huge attraction for pests of all kind. The food is something that is easily accessible to pests and that is why it can be found bringing pests into the house. The best thing that you can do is to make sure that you have a plan on how to feed. You want to only leave the food out for a set time. It is important to do it at the same time each day so that your new dog knows. You also want to make sure that the floor around the dog food has been cleaned up so that there are not any crumbs around the area. Even if you have your dog that is being fed outdoors it is still best to never leave it out overnight.
Dog Feces Attracts Rodents & Pests
The dog that you got has to learn how to and where to use the bathroom. This is usually one of the hardest aspects of training since no one wants dog feces in their house. There is nothing better than when you dog learns where to go. The problem is that the feces is out in the yard and that means that it is attracting pests. The most common types of pests that are attracted to dog feces are rodents, flies, cockroaches and even termites! Termites feed on feces to prepare themselves to eat the cellulose found in the other foods they eat. You want to make sure that you stay on top of the cleanup and have a plan to seal it so that it does not attract pests through the week.
Does Dog Hair Attract Bugs?
Your dog has fur that is known to carry and attract pests. This can be anything from fleas to ticks. They can attract them and then they can get in the house. If they are in the house they can be a problem for the rest of your family. You want to make sure that your home is treated for pests by a professional to help reduce or remove them.
