Buying a home in Pune can be extremely stressful. Especially if you are buying a resale home in Pune. We have just published a blog on the type of problems that you may encounter when you look into buying a resale home in Pune. There is one issue which we would like to stress some more. Pests. They are the uninvited roommates who can make life in your new home extremely irritating. If you are looking to make an investment in a new home in Pune there are some signs that can help you find out if there is a pest problem in the home that you are looking to buy.

Sign Of Pests In The Home:

Pests are very good at hiding. So good in fact that you don’t know they are there or they are moving in until it is too late. Here are some tell-tale signs that there could be pests in the home you are moving to.

• Live Activity: If you have seen a cockroach or some ants walking around in the home, it is more than likely that the home is infested. If it is so brazenly obvious that there are pests in the home then it is not a one-off. There are there and they are not afraid. A very strong pest control service will definitely be required to get rid of all the pests in the home

• Dead Bugs: If you see dead ants, or other dead bugs of the same kind in the home that means the owner has been able to get a few of them, but there are more out there out of sight. These pests are especially hard to find and kill

• Droppings: Another way to know if there is some pest activity happening at the home is to look for pest droppings. It might not be easily visible and you might have to get on your hands and knees to really start looking. Mice, Rat and even Lizard droppings are easy to notice and if you do notice them then you should be afraid because these pests are nesters. They do not go out of their home very easily and they literally have to be driven out.

• Nests: Different insects and pests have different nesting patterns. If you are not able to find evidence of a nest itself then you need to find evidence of nest building. Rats and Mice will usually leave pieces of shredded paper around that will usually leave a clue of the nests being built in your home. It is so much better to get rid of the pests before the nests have been built. The dark corners of the home are the best locations for these types of nests. Look carefully or call in an expert.

• Pest Control Products: If you see a shelf of pest control products you can be assured that the previous owner of the home was trying to take care of the problem himself. However, it is always better to get a professional to come in and take a look at the situation.

• Holes and Gnaw marks: Where ever there are scratch marks on the soft or other furniture it can be safe to assume that there are some pests in the home. Really big pesky pests that need to be taken care of immediately. Scratches can mean they are looking for burrowing space to make more permanent living conditions which is never a good sign.

If you notice any of these signs then you can be sure that the home you are about to purchase has had a history of pests. It could even be possible that there are pests living in the home right now.
