To sell a home in the Tampa area, many investors stage the house with modern furnishings and renovate the kitchens and bathrooms. Nothing spoils a potential sale or turns off a renter more than roaches crawling across your beautiful porcelain tile, ants on your new granite countertops or rats hiding in your custom cabinets. In many cases, the rodents that greet you, your workers, Realtors or potential tenants are more intimidating than roaches, spiders or ants. Whether you bought a foreclosure in Riverview, a bank owned property in Fish Hawk Ranch or a short sale in South Tampa, rely on an experienced company that provides rodent control in Tampa and nearby areas.

Rely on a professional

When you buy an investment property in Tampa, you likely understand the home could have remained vacant for months or possibly years. When the grass and weeds grow, creatures from the wild crawl and slither into a home through cracks. In some cases, people break into homes in foreclosure or the former owner leaves open doors or windows. Some of the common rodents found in the Tampa area include pigeons, squirrels, mice, rats, raccoons and bats. A professional pest and rodent control company will remove and prevent pests from entering your home.

Take action as soon as possible

If you delay handling a pest and rodent problem, a small pest problem can balloon into a major infestation. Many DIY methods don’t work. No one wants potential tenants or homebuyers to show up at a house that has out-of-control pests. A pest control company will take care of common pests such as Pharaoh ants, Sugar ants, spiders and wasps as well as carpenter bees, fleas, ticks and larger creatures.

In addition to removing pests from your home and yard, consider lawn spraying treatment so your lawn is vibrant and green. Painting the exterior of your home, landscaping, lawn spraying and removing pests are all steps you can take to improve your investment property.
